Going through what I summarized in the Freshmeat announcements, I
believe there are some performance improvements in:
- - Volume pruning
- - Backups, namely SQL inserts (batch inserts) and the use of
posix_fadvise() in the FD
- - restores (memory tree optimizations)
- - SQLite3 performance (PRAGMA synchronous=OFF)

New features seem to be:
- - heartbeat for all connections (untested)
- - improved volume reservation code (less conflicts in multi drive
autochangers, ...)
- - detection of file size/date change during backup (if enabled)
- - 'Recycle Pool' feature
- - pruned volumes are reusable immediately

Those are just copy/pastes from the Freshmeat summaries, there might be
others.

Greetings,
       Michel
