================================================================================
 duplicity-0.5.18-1.fc9 (FEDORA-2009-5427)
 Encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup using rsync algorithm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

- Added support for RackSpace's CloudFiles, cf+http.  - Added support for Tahoe-
LAFS from the patch, upstream patch #6743: Tahoe backend for duplicity
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6743)  - Only half of this bug is fixed but
it's still useful, upstream bug #21792: pipe call fails with an error OSError:
[Errno 24] Too many open files (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21792)  -
Changed from using ulimit external command to resource.getrlimit to check open
files limit.  - Removed one line of code left from some testing that I did that
caused a crash when the target dir was empty and collection-status was
requested.  - Moved from using the df command to get temp space availability to
Python's os.statvfs() call.  Not all df commands work the same way.  - Upstream
patch #6813: Making changelist easy to read
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6813)  - Upstream patch #6814: Ignore
comments in filelists (https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6814)  - Upstream bug
#24825: duplicity warn on insufficient TMPDIR space availability and low max
open file limits pre-backup. (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?24825)  -
Upstream bug #25594: wrong backup statistics
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?25594)  - Upstream bug #25976: Password
requested when not needed. (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?25976)  - Upstream
patch #6806: More graceful handling of old --short-filename files
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6806)  - Added tilde and variable expansion
to the source or target argument that is not a URL.  - FTP backend was failing
on PureFTPd when the "-x ''" option was removed from the second ncftpls popen, a
fix that was implemented due to bug #24741.  This fix does the ls in one pass by
extracting the last entry on the 'ls -l' listing.  - If a file is unreadable due
to access rights or other non-fatal errors, put out error message and continue
rather than dying messily with a traceback.  - Added tilde '~' expansion and
variable expansion in the options that require a filename.  You can now have
this "--archive-dir=~/ArchDir/$SYSNAME" if you need it.  No expansion is applied
to the source or target URL's.  - Fixed problem I caused, again, where
sys.exit() was trapping instead of exiting.  Added big note to not to do that
again.  - After email voting among known duplicity contributors, the decision
was reached to revert to the GPL Version 2 license, so with their consensus,
duplicity is now underGPL Version 2.  - Revert to calling NcFTP utilities (ls,
get, put) directly rather than scripting ncftp via pexpect by reverting to the
0.5.07 version of ftpbackend.py.  - Changed fatal error regarding version 3.2.0
of ncftpput to warning level since it has been reported that the problem does
not occur on most distributions.  - Changed from log.Log with numbered log
levels to log.Debug (9), log.Info (5-8), log.Notice (3-4), log.Warn (1-2),
log.FatalError (0). The -vN option has not changed.  Verbosity may also be one
of: character [ewnid], or word ['error', 'warning', 'notice', 'info', 'debug'].
The default is 4 (Notice).  The options -v4, -vn, and -vnotice are functionally
equivalent, as are the mixed-case versions, -vN, -vNotice, -vNOTICE.  -
Normalized include statements and tried to insure that all duplicity includes
were from the duplicity module.  - Upstream patch #6790: Add --exclude-if-
present https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6790  - Add more error detection to
FTP backend.  - Fix backends so sleep does not occur after last retry.  - Fix so
BackendException does not cause traceback except when verbosity is at level 5 or
higher (Info level).  - Adjust log levels so some errors show up with default
verbosity.  - Fixed bug where an extra comma caused a traceback during a warning
about unnecessary sig files.  Plus fixed print so the real filename would show
up and not a Python object representation.  - Add Changelog.GNU to website and
distribution to add a bit of detail showing the CVS changes via rcs2log.  Added
dist/mkGNUChangelog.sh.  - Upstream bug #22908: Don't block gpg-agent
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?22908)  - To fix the above, --use-agent was
added as a command line option. When this is specified and asymetric encryption
is enabled, then all GnuPG passphrases will come from the gpg-agent or
equivalent program and no passphrase prompt will be issued.  - Upstream bug
#25787: Usernames with escaped @-sign are not handled properly
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?25787)  - Upstream bug #25976: Password
requested when not needed (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?25976)  - Upstream
patch #6787: import duplicity.GnuPGInterface explicitly
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6787)
