So, I've created a release in GitHub (yeah!), it's far from perfect and 
I'm looking forward to see the automated release pipeline from Otto, 
Patrik and/or Arrigo, so that we get this as automated as possible.

From my part, I'll revamp the documentation, it's currently mixing 
development, installation and usage, and doesn't properly highlight the 
requirements.

In the meantime, anybody can download the Linux binaries from 
https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases/tag/v1.4.0.beta - 
install and test. Windows will follow shortly (tonight, I hope).

Remember: it's a beta version, be careful!

- if you're confused or not sure, ask on this mailing list
- if you find a bug, create an issue on GitHub with rdiff-backup 
version, OS and its version, command and log with -v9 verbosity.

Let's get the ball rolling,
Eric
