Andrew, Thanks for all the great work you do on this, but yes a new stable release would be appreciated.
I use OpenSUSE and they are still distributing 1.0.5 I'm pretty sure because it is the stable release. (OpenSUSE 11.0 comes out officially tomorrow, and it may have a newer rdiff-backup, but I don't think so. I have not verified that in a few months, so I could be wrong.)
