1 version 0.x -- xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2 ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or
3 slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method
4 is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
6 NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
7 you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
9 implemented fix so that the main script will echo fatal errors rather
10 than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
11 if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)
12 added vserver support to main script and to the handlers: mysql, svn, sys, rdiff
13 changes to duplicity handler (thanks intrigeri!):
14 "keep = yes" now disables file cleaning on desthost
15 added "sign" option for backups signing

17 split config into [source], [gpg] and [dest] sections

21 added "bandwidthlimit" option

23 added trac (http://trac.edgewall.com/) environment handler (thanks Charles Lepple!)
24 added configfile option to mysql handler
25 the default is /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. with this,
26 sqldump doesn't need dbusername. (hotcopy still does).
