-<p>Rsync version 2.6.5 has been released. This release is primarily a bug-fix
-release to squash some annoying problems that made it into the (feature-filled)
-release of 2.6.4, plus a few minor enhancements.

-<a href="http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsyncd.conf.html">rsyncd.conf</a>.
+<p>Rsync version 2.6.8 has been released. This is a bug-fix release that
+primarily addresses an exclude problem that affected the --relative option,
+but also includes a security fix for the xattrs.diff patch (which is not an
+official part of rsync, but some packagers include it in their release).
+
+<p>You can read all about the latest improvements and bug-fixes in the

+<p>Also of note for packagers: as was the case with the 2.6.7 release, the
+diffs in the patches dir of the release tar now contain patches for generated
+files, so you won't need to use autoconf and yodl unless you're creating a
+custom combination of patches that don't apply cleanly together.

+<p><i style="color:#777777">July 28th, 2005</i>
+
+<p>Rsync version 2.6.6 has been released. This release is a bug-fix release
+to handle a null-pointer bug that turned up in rsync's version of zlib
+1.1.4 (this is not the recent zlib 1.2.2 security fix, which did not
+affect rsync) and to squash a few other minor bugs. To deal with the
+zlib issue, rsync has been upgraded to include zlib 1.2.3.
