I checked the sources to see if the various fixes that I've been using
are in 2.6.0. They are, but NEWS doesn't mention two of them. Add:
* Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
* Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1
(I suppose the 1st item could be shortened to just the first line.)
In the original patch to main.c that I submitted for the 2nd item,
this got left out when it was applied:
< rprintf(FINFO, RSYNC_NAME "[%d] (%s%s%s) heap statistics:\n",
---
> rprintf(FINFO, "\n" RSYNC_NAME "[%d] (%s%s%s) heap statistics:\n",
That leading "\n" separates the heap statistics from the filelist and
other verbose output. Can you please add that?
Also, --version says:

Change 2002 to 2003. If another 12 days go by, change it to 2004. :)
A suggestion - at the end of the ./configure output, print:
********************************************************************
* As of v2.6.0 the default remote shell is ssh instead of rsh. *
* To use previous default of rsh: ./configure --with-rsh=rsh *
********************************************************************
to make it really clear about the new default.
