Version 9.3 Released
Written for Déjà Dup by Michael Terry on 2009-05-30
* Exclude ~/.Private, not ~/Private. This means we no longer backup the
encrypted version of ecryptfs files, but the unencrypted version. So
encrypt your backups appropriately. This change lets us work more elegantly
in all ecryptfs setups, especially when your whole home directory is
encrypted.
* Update icons to Tango style ones
* Relicense help documentation from GFDL to GPL-3+
* Some minor bug fixes
Version 9.2 Released

* Re-enable some kinder, specific messages for certain duplicity exceptions, including I/O errors and 'destination out of space' errors

* Updated English (UK), French, German, and Russian translations
Version 9.1 Released

* Strip spaces from the ends of passwords, they are likely just cut+paste

* Make bleeding-edge GTK+ symbols introduced by vala 0.7 optional, so we now
compile again with GTK+ 2.12.
