The zlib folks have clarified that version 1.1.4 is not vulnerable to
the latest zlib security problem, so all released versions of rsync are
not affected by the most recent security problem that was found in
version 1.2.2 (and also affects 1.2.1).  So, there is now no rush to
release version 2.6.6 of rsync.  Instead, it can act as a trial version
to ensure that upgrading the zlib version is not going to cause any
problems, and I will allow a little more in the way of features to be
added to rsync before releasing the final 2.6.6.

I apologize for the confusion, but I was playing it safe in case rsync
was affected by this zlib vulnerability.
