The rsync team is happy to announce the availability of a 2.5.5 release candidate. If no serious bugs are reported against this version it will become release 2.5.5 at the end of this week.
If you use rsync, please test this release candidate so that the final release of 2.5.5 can be reliable. In particular, we would appreciate test results from people running Solaris or BSD, and from anybody who has reported rsync bugs in the last week. Thank you to everyone who contributed information or patches.
