Main changes
After 2 years of development, 48 fixed issues, 17 new features, we're
releasing our next major version of rdiff-backup. At time of writing
only one known (and obscure) bug is left to be fixed. Most of the time
has been spent on modernizing the code with a clearer plug-in based
structure, but we've also found the time to implement a few cool
features:
* there is at last a |--help| parameter
* the CLI (Command Line Interface) has been refurbished and modernized
(the old one is still present but deprecated)
* you can store your parameters in a file, one per line, and call
|rdiff-backup @myfile| to use them
* verbosity levels and error codes have been standardized for clearer
interaction with the tool
* Window wheels are now working, and rdiff-backup is available in 32
and 64 bits for Windows
And despite all these changes, rdiff-backup 2.2 remains compatible
with rdiff-backup 2.0, but you can, and are encouraged to, use the new
API using |--api-version 201|, enabling two additional features:
* the last backup can be regressed even if it isn't failed (I think,
our oldest enhancement request)
* locking of repositories has been greatly improved (there wasn't much
of a locking before)
Detailed release notes are at the top of the changelog
</rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/v2.2.0/CHANGELOG.adoc>. As always,
consider especially the changes marked with |CHG| as they might impact
your workflow.
And, last but not least, our website rdiff-backup.net
<https://rdiff-backup.net/> has been revamped and merged with the docs
folder, allowing for easier maintenance and up-to-date documentation,
in alignment with the code evolution.
Install
The installation, described in details in the read me
</rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/v2.2.0/README.adoc>, has the quick
version:
* Linux, trust on your distro to provide the latest version of
rdiff-backup "soon-ish" (or copr/PPA)

from the tagged release
<https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases/tag/v2.2.0>
and unpack it somewhere in your |PATH|.
* Any supported Platform, and a few unsupported like BSD and MacOSX,
use |pip install rdiff-backup| (or download and install the proper
asset from the tagged release
<https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases/tag/v2.2.0>).
* in call cases, you might want to have a look at the migration guide
</rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/v2.2.0/docs/migration.adoc>, eps
