Rdiff-backup v0.9.2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2002-06-27 // almost 22 years ago-
Interface directly with librsync(.a|.so) instead of running "rdiff" 💻 command line utility. This can significant save fork()ing time when 🖨 processing lots of smallish files that have changed. Also, rdiff is no longer required to be in the PATH.
Further speed optimizations, mostly reducing CPU consumption when scanning through unchanged files.
🛠 Fixed Path bug which could caused globbing and regexp include/exclude statements to malfunction when the base of the source directory was "/" (root of filesystem). Thanks to Vlastimil Adamovsky for noting this bug.
➕ Added quoting for spaces in directory_statistics file, hopefully 📜 making it easier to parse.
