New in v0.9.3 (2002/08/01)
--------------------------
Added --sleep-ratio option after hearing that rdiff-backup was too
hard on hard disks (thanks to Steve Alexander for the suggestion).
Quick example: --sleep-ratio 0.25 makes rdiff-backup sleep about 25%
of the time. Maybe this will help on bandwidth usage also.
Fixed -m/--mirror-only option.
Added --exclude-other-filesystems option. Thanks to Paul Wouters for
the suggestion.
Added convenience field TotalDestinationSizeChange (total change in
destination directory - mirror change + increments change) to
session_statistics file.
Handle a particular situation better where a file changes in a certain
way while rdiff-backup is processing it. Before rdiff-backup would
just crash; now it skips the file. Thanks to Scott Bender for the bug
report.
A couple interface fixes to --remove-older-than.
Added some security features to the protocol, so rdiff-backup will now
only allow commands from remote connections. The extra security will
be enabled automatically on the client (it knows what to expect), but
the extra switches --restrict, --restrict-update-only, and
--restrict-read-only have been added for use with --server.
