Re: Pre-release v2.1.0a0 - Alpha Release v2.1.0a0

[EricZolf]

Hi,

the 64 bits version for Windows is broken, seems something wrong in the
pipeline (thanks to dtxl for reporting):

https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/555

The 32 bits version looks fine though.

KR, Eric

PS: we really need some Windows tests in our pipeline... Volunteers are
welcome: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/issues/347
