+version 0.9.6 -- July 21, 2008
+ backupninja changes
+ . fix bug in cstream definition, thanks Jamie McClelland

+ . Fixed tr construct reporting a warning (Closes: #452669)
+ lib changes

+ fall-back if mktemp did not exist on the system
+ handler changes

+ run remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: #458816),

+ only trigger a warning on failure, since they should not stop backups
+ from being done. Also migrated full/incremental backup switch to the
+ new syntax.
+ . Support every duplicity-supported transport with new configuration
+ option desturl (Closes: #483712, #346040, Trac#2).
+ . Actually allow to backup only VServers, by relaxing $include test.
+ . Set secure permissions on tmpdir when creating it.
+ ldap:
+ . support HDB backend just as the BDB one, and make message clearer
+ when no supported backend is found (Closes: #476910)

+ . Fixed ignore_version default value missing
+ . Add patch from Matthew Palmer to rdiff handler to incorporate sshoptions
+ into options via remote-schema not already specified (Closes: #424639)

+ a website to a local folder, based on the rsync handler
+ maildir:
+ . fixed bug where maildirs that start with a number were skipped
+ . make maildir helper look in every subdirectory of the source directory for
+ maildirs, rather than just looking in the directories [a-zA-Z0-9], thanks
+ for the patch from chris@cenolan.com (Trac#43).
+ . make deleted maildirs record the date they were deleted
+ . add destid_file configuration option to enable you to specify an alternate
+ ssh public key authentication file (defaulting to /root/.ssh/id_rsa)

+ . fixed catifexec function to actually work, also now passes the arguments
+ given to catifexec() to the called command (Thanks John Hallam!)
+ . Added more robust software RAID information capture by running mdadm
+ -Q --detail /dev/md?* because some people may have empty mdadm.conf files
+ (Thanks to John Hallam).
+ trac:
+ . stop failing on all the trac backups if just one fails, this means
+ removing the temporary trac backup directories if they fail
+ makecd
+ . updated handler for new toolset (genisoimage and wodim)
+
+version 0.9.5 -- December 2, 2007

+ toint function sometimes (Closes: Trac#11)
