+version 0.9.4 -- unreleased

+ read/write configurations (instead of only allowing root). Checks
+ and complains about group-readable files only when the group differs
+ from the one in the configuration file (default is root as before).
+ Thanks to Martin Krafft for the patch (Closes: #370396).
+ . When determining which backup actions to make, find now follows
+ symlinks for $configdirectory

+ svn:
+ . Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
+ rdiff:

+ improved RPM build process allowing 'make rpm-package' and 'make
+ srpm-package' targets, also fixes permissions on man directories,
+ cleans up RPM-related files during distclean, and adds default

- than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
- if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)

- changes to duplicity handler (thanks intrigeri!):

- sqldump doesn't need dbusername. (hotcopy still does).
- fixed bug in mysql handler which caused some passwords to not work.
- (.my.cnf files now have double quotes around password)
- can now pass options to hwinfo and sfdisk in sys handler.
