Hello everybody, As announced previously! Please test it thoroughly, especially regarding compatibility with v2.0.5.
Beware that there will be a lot more changes before a production release is offered, especially under the hood. Enjoy, Eric _____________________________________________________________________ Alpha Release v2.1.0a0 <https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases/tag/refs/tags/v2.1.0a0> Repository: rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup <https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup> · Tag: v2.1.0a0 <https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/tree/v2.1.0a0> · Commit: 705b445 <https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/commit/705b4455e4b08ad8353c2091bacdb94c93dae8c3> This is an alpha release so that many people can test new features. All changes are documented in the changelog <https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/v2.1.0a0/CHANGELOG.md#new-in-v210a0-2021-04-08>, but the highlights are the new command line interface <https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/v2.1.0a0/docs/migration.md#migration-from-old-to-new-cli>, the |--help| option, the support of long names under Windows v1607 and higher <https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/v2.1.0a0/docs/Windows-README.md#installation>, and the fixing of a few more long standing bugs. Please use this release to test and report issues, especially regarding: * usage in client/server in combination with version v2.0.5 of rdiff-backup * do you like the new interface? Where is it not so intuitive? * usage under Windows (and MacOS/X) It's an alpha version, everything might change, disappear and/or fail, do *NOT* get in love with a specific feature and do *NOT* use this version for production.
