[Duplicity-talk] Version 0.4.9 Released

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hi Folks,

Hope you had a great holiday.  Time for the first release of the new
year.  There are a fair number of changes, so go for it.

As always, you can download from http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity/

Coming soon -- Fix the file naming so it works on all systems.

...Thanks,
...Ken


New in v0.4.9 (2008/01/04)
--------------------------
NOTE: URL format correction in rsync://.  The rsync backend
now properly supports absolute and relative pathnames and
module access.  The formats are:
    rsync://address@hidden::/module/some_dir
    rsync://address@hidden/relative_path
    rsync://address@hidden//absolute_path

Fixed regression caused by changeover to new urlparse.py.
bug #21475: FTP Usernames that contain '@' are not recognized
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?21475

Added section URL FORMAT in the duplicity man page.

Added 2nd patch to bug #21475 that forces all versions of
Python to use the fixed urlparse.py.

Fixed so that remove-older-than and remove-all-but-n-full
will not request a GPG passphrase.

Fixed issue with Pure-FTPd that would always return an empty
directory listing and thus force a full backup every time.
A side effect of the change is that we now only make one call
to ncftpls to get the listing, thereby reducing the overhead
on systems with a large number of backup files.
