Main changes

Documentation refresh for Windows, few fixes especially when using API 201, clarify the error message when using the client/server mode, and, last but not least, the introduction of a fully automated weekly release for easier testing by users.

Detailed release notes are at the top of the changelog. As always, consider especially the changes marked with CHG as they might impact your workflow.

Install

The installation, described in details in the read me, has the quick version:

  • Linux, trust on your distro to provide the latest version of rdiff-backup "soon-ish" (or copr/PPA)
  • Windows, download the asset rdiff-backup-2.2.6.win32/64exe.zip from the tagged release and unpack it somewhere in your PATH (or trust Chocolatey).
  • Any supported Platform, and a few unsupported like BSD and MacOSX, use pip install rdiff-backup (or download and install the proper asset from the tagged release).
  • in all cases, you might want to have a look at the migration guide.

Known issues

  1. rdiff-backup in API version 200 (the default) warns about calling rdiff-backup in server mode with the deprecated CLI, even if you don't use the server mode, see #922 for details
