     handler changes
     handler changes

+       dup:
+        . General cleanup
+        . Better support for new duplicity (>= 0.4.4) command line syntax:
+          run remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: #458816),
+          and run "duplicity cleanup" before any other duplicity command; both
+          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.
+       rdiff:
+        . 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)
+       wget:
+        . New handler from rhatto designed to incrementally pull content from
+          a website to a local folder, based on the rsync handler
+
+version 0.9.5 -- December 2, 2007
+    backupninja changes
+        . Fixed checks on configuration files permissions, since the patch
+          applied to fix #370396 broke this, especially for configuration files
+          created with permissions 000 by an older ninjahelper version.
+        . Enhanced portability for other platforms
+        . Added quoting because it was needed to prevent shell expansion, broking the
+           toint function sometimes (Closes: Trac#11)
+        . Fixed reportspace option (Closes: Trac#10)
+        . Fixed ldap handler not recognizing database suffix (Closes: Trac#28)
+    handler changes
+       dup:
+        . Support duplicity >= 0.4.3 invocation syntax (--ssh-command option
+          is not supported anymore) (Closes: #447425)
+        . New tmpdir configuration option, very useful in case duplicity tends
+          to fill up /tmp.
+        ldap:
+        . Fixed shell command quoting issues, missing 'then' clauses, cleaned up
+          compress=yes to be less redundant and not create empty uncompressed
+          file (Closes: #394935)
+        . Fixed ninjahelper to properly set compress option, standardized on yes/no
+          instead of on/off
+        . Fixed problem that caused combination of slapcat and compress to not work
+          together (Closes: Trac#29)
+        . Applied patch from romain.tartiere@healthgrid.org to fix the SSL/TLS options
+          to be correct, also set TLS to be the default over SSL (Closes: Trac#13)
+       maildir:
+        . Added an examples file (Closes: Trac#23)
+        . Applied patch from Anarcat that fixes the cp/mkdir calls to not use GNU
+          coreutils options, as well as some bashisms (Closes: Trac#24)
+        . Fix test mode (Closes: Trac#25)
+        mysql:
+        . Fixed case where odd combination of configuration options caused sqldump
+          backups to get overwritten with an empty file (Closes: #402679)
+        . Added 'nodata' option to enable you to specify tables that you want to omit
+          the data from a backup, but still backup the table structure. This is very
+          useful in cases where tables contain large amounts of cache data. See the
+          example.mysql for options, thanks Daniel Bonniot (Closes: #408829)
+        . Enhance code for selecting databases by asking MySQL not to give us the
+          header (-N), to not draw pretty boxes around the output (-B), send the query
+          via -e instead of a pipe and ensure MySQL listens to -B. Thanks to
+          Matthew Palmer (Closes: #452039).
+       pgsql:
+        . Support configuring PGSQLUSER for real, and document it a bit; this
+          broken support actually prevented pgsql handler to work for VServers
+          (Closes: #396578)
+       rdiff-backup:
+        . Added cstream support to allow for bandwidth limiting
+        . Handle "keep = yes" to disable old backups removal (Closes: #424633)
+        . Add configuration option to allow you to disable the version check
+          as in some instances this may be an ok scenario (Closes: #424632)
+        . Added local destination support to helper (Closes: Trac#4)
+        . Allow exclude-only configurations (Closes: Trac#21)
+       rub/rsync
+        . Fixed typo in rub handler that caused it to not work
+        . Changed to use lib/vserver code
+        . Fixed fsck error
+        . Fixed integer comparison (Closes: Trac#3)
+        . Renamed handler to 'rsync', replaces outdated rub handler
+        . updated examples/Makefile.am and handlers/Makefile.am to include
+          rsnap/rsync (Closes: #440554)
+        . Added example.rsync configuration file
+       sys:
+        . Fixed typo breaking things for VServers.
+        . Fix bug when vrootdir is on its own partition (Closes: #395928)
+        . Better sfdisk error and output handling: should now properly warn
+          when it does not manage to backup a partition table, and shut up when
+          it succeeds (Closes: #396632)
+        . Added option to not use sfdisk at all, useful for vserver/xen instances
+          that produce warnings about no harddisks found (Closes: #404071)
+        . Fixed example in example.sys to detail the __star__ in partitionsfile and
+          note why its necessary (Closes: #409192)
+        . Force C locale for sfdisk to ensure english words are found in grep
+        . Make directory where output is placed configurable, and create the parent dir
+          if it doesn't exist (Closes: Trac#1)
+    ninjareport
+        . Added first draft of method to aggregate reports from many servers into
+          one email. Requires logtail, rsync, configuration of reporthost,
+          reportdirectory and reportuser in backupninja.conf. Configure cron to
+          run once a day, and individual backupninjas not to report by email their
+          status, then enjoy one email report from all hosts, rather than multiple
+    fixed 'make install' bug that failed if /etc/backup.d already existed
+    changed spaces to tabs in Makefile.am
+    updated redhat spec file (thanks Adam Monsen)
+
+version 0.9.4 -- October 6th, 2006
+    backupninja changes
+        . Fixed bug in toint(), and thus isnow(), which caused it
+          to not work when run from cron.
+        . Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: #361102)
+        . Add admingroup option to configuration to allow a group that can
+          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
+        . Changed order of -s to mail for compatibility
+        . fixed permission stat call so it uses the --format supported by
+          coreutils (Closes: #382747)
+        . Added disk space report option (thanks Adam Kosmin)
+    handler changes
+       Added tar handler:
+        . create tarballs
