    Version 1.1.4 fixes a double-free bug which creates a potential security
    problem described here. 

    The beta version 1.1.5beta (to be released shortly) includes many more
    changes. A new official version 1.1.5 will be released as soon as
    extensive testing has been completed on it. See the ChangeLog for details.
    NOTE: zlib 1.1.4 does not support window sizes of 256 bytes (windowBits ==
    8). A 512-byte window is the smallest the encoder can use. (Most
    applications use the default 32,768-byte window size for best
    compression.)

Now wouldn't be grand if the rsync modifications made it into that version?
