Hi,
before I start for real with the development of version 2.4, I'd like to
get your opinion on the exact direction to take:

I'd appreciate to get numerous answers and opinions. Feel free to also
discuss and argue on this mailing list.
I'll share the results on this list but they're public anyway.
First, thanks for the inputs so far, it helps to clarify my thoughts,
and assess what is important to you, my users. Second, continue to
provide inputs!
It's anonymous and anybody can stay anonymous, but the following comment
worries me:
We run multiple os's and struggle to keep one version of
rdiff-backupacross the board as they don't all supply updates at the
same time, 2.0 - 2.2 caused us pain by breaking backups for us
Do I understand the last part of the sentence right that you had
compatibility issues when migrating from 2.0 to 2.2? That's worrying
because I really did my best to keep the compatibility in place, thought
I had succeeded (after some little bugs [1]) and if I failed, I'm not
sure how to improve and would need some more information about what
happened.
Thanks, Eric
[1] most of those bugs were reported by rknichols, so if it's your
entry, I know what you were referring to. I apologize for the
inconvenience, but then I asked multiple times to test the beta, with
focus on inter-versions aspects, which didn't happen a lot and are very
difficult to test automatically.
