Duplicity v0.4.9 Release Notes

Release Date: 2008-01-04 // over 16 years ago
  • NOTE: URL format correction in rsync://. The rsync backend 👍 now properly supports absolute and relative pathnames and module access. The formats are: rsync://user@host::/module/some_dir rsync://user@host/relative_path rsync://user@host//absolute_path

    🛠 Fixed regression caused by changeover to new urlparse.py. 🐛 bug #21475: FTP Usernames that contain '@' are not recognized https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21475

    ➕ Added section URL FORMAT in the duplicity man page.

    ➕ Added 2nd patch to bug #21475 that forces all versions of 📜 Python to use the fixed urlparse.py.

    🛠 Fixed so that remove-older-than and remove-all-but-n-full will not request a GPG passphrase.

    🛠 Fixed issue with Pure-FTPd that would always return an empty directory listing and thus force a full backup every time. A side effect of the change is that we now only make one call to ncftpls to get the listing, thereby reducing the overhead on systems with a large number of backup files.
