Ah yes, good question. I was going on the following para in [1]: "For anyone who hasn't been paying attention, I checked in some patches to replace bup's checksum algorithm a while back; this is the first release with that change. Warning: this moves all the split points when bup splits large files, so your backup sets will experience a surprise increase in size for the first backup after you upgrade to this version. Sorry, but that's why we don't call it 1.0 yet!"

Despite not having proved anything substantial, I'm uncomfortable with the idea of this mythical "bump" hitting people after 2 years of backing up with 0.14-2 (worst-case scenario). - -- Jon Dowland -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAky8v74ACgkQFotOcXAy8jiprwCeMxaNsFDJH7JXKWKXnc8yTRl6 k0YAn0eqSq2uepzoU/YGtJUsaelEePr6 =IzPY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
