+NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7:
 
-  ENHANCEMENTS:
-
-    * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
-      Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
-      --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
-
-    * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
-      27. (J.W. Schultz)
-
-    * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length).
-      The per-file checksum size is determined according
-      to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which
-      reduces the probability of rsync algorithm
-      corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
-      checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
-
-    * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
-      unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
-
-  BUG FIXES:
-
-    * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
-      block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
-      Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
-      (Craig Barratt)
-  
-    * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
-      mdfour.c as required by the RFC.  Previously only a 32 bit bit
-      counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
-      file sizes >= 512MB - 4.  (Craig Barratt)
-
-    * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
-      multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
-      (Wayne Davison)
+  SECURITY:
 
-    * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
-
-    * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
-
-    * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
-      consistent manner.
-
-    * Fixed some exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
-      For instance, "**/foo" now matches at the root, "CVS/R*" now
-      matches beyond the root, and "foo**bar" is matched against the
-      path, not just the trailing name.  (Wayne Davison)
-
-
-  INTERNAL:
-
-    * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
-      supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
-
-    * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
+    * Fix buffer handling bugs.  (Andrew Tridgell, Martin Pool, Paul
+      Russell, Andrea Barisani)
