[Duplicity-talk] Version 0.5.10 Released

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hi,

Another significant change, and some bug fixes.  The new default file
format is compatible with Windows/Samba shares, and time is now in UTC,
so there will be no issues with DST or time zone changes.  See below for
details.

Note: you will be seeing bug fixes from launchpad.net in the next few
releases as I transition duplicity from Savannah to Launchpad.  I will
announce the closure of the Savannah project when the transition is
complete.  Until then, business as usual.

You can download the new duplicity from:
http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

For those of you in a hurry, this is the direct link.

...Thanks,
...Ken

New in v0.5.10 (2009/03/01)
---------------------------
The default filename format has changed from W3 style to a long
numeric style, YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ, with no delimiters, thus is now
compatible with Windows/Samba filesystems.  The time is UTC, not
local, so there will be no timezone or daylight savings time issues.

Duplicity still recognizes the old long filename format, and will
continue incremental backup chains if found.  The old format is
still available via the --old-filenames option (pending deprecation).

Users of --short-filenames or --time-separator should stop using these
options on their next full backup.  The new filenames are compatible
with your system.

The following options are pending deprecation and will be removed in a
future release:
    --time-separator
    --short-filenames
    --old-filenames
