New in v0.6.20 (2012/10/28)
-------
Enhancements:
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/ssh.manpage
- added gdocs and rsync REQUIREMENTS
- added cloudfiles documentation
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/gpginterface
- refactor GnuPGInterface to gpginterface.py
reasoning can be found in README
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/duplicity.helpfix
- fix rare 'TypeError: encode() argument 1 must be string, not None'
- http://
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/duplicity.tmpspacefix
- use tempfile.
- propbably solve bug 'Out of space error while restoring a file'
- https:/

* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/utf8-po
- For some crazy reason, the gettext module defaults to giving you strings in
whatever charset the po file happened to define. Which means you never know
what string of bytes you're going to get. This module makes sure we always
get utf-8 byte strings. So we're at least predictable and reduces one
source of UnicodeDecodeErrors (like in bug 989496)
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/1031277
- ssh: actually delete all the requested files, not just the first one
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/leftover-sigtar
- So currently, duplicity does not delete signature files when doing a
remove-
useless and take up space.
- This branch does several things:
1) Make remove-all-but-n operate on chains. In practice it did before, since
the sets it operated on always came from complete chains (i.e. it never
used only some of the sets from a chain)
2) Add a new method to get all signature chains before a certain time.
3) Use this new method to also delete signature chains during remove-all-but
operations.
- And it cleans up the cleanuptest.py file:
1) Removes crufty, unused code
2) Disallows changing the destination folder for the test, which no one
would ever want to do and isn't really supported anyway
3) Add some additional checks to the existing test
4) Adds two new methods to test remove-all-but-n and
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/duplicity.manpage
- disabled hyphenation and block justification for better readablility of
command line examples.
- reformatted REQUIREMENTS section for hopefully better online rendering
- minor clarifications
* Merged in lp:~gregretkowski/duplicity/cf-retry-delete
- This will retry cloudfile delete commands. With large numbers of archive
files over mediocre links transient network errors will occasionally cause
deletes to fail and these should be retried.
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/ropath.index
- This branch does two main things:
1) Skips base dir entries when compiling the list of deleted delta iters.
(this gracefully recovers from the sort of situations that lead to bug
929067). I'm reasonably confident this is an uninvasive change, but
please confirm.
2) Overwrites the sigtar file on backup-restart. This is because AFAICT,
duplicity will rewrite the entire sigtar each restart. But we were
opening the sigtar file as "ab", so we'd just dump the contents on top
of the previous contents. Which was causing some confusion in bug 929067.
If I'm wrong that we don't always rewrite the entire sigtar each time,
this needs some rethink. Please also confirm that.
- In addition, I added two tests for the above two changes and make some
improvements elsewhere in the restarttest.py file while I was at it.
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/ssh-pexpect-msgbug
- Fixes 'UnboundLocalError: local variable 'msg' referenced before assignment'
in _ssh_pexpect.py
* Merged in lp:~ed.so/duplicity/gpg.tmp
- place gpg.py tempfiles in duplicity's tmp subfolder which is cleaned
whatever happens
* Merged in lp:~mterry/duplicity/u1-402
- Switch the code we check for out-of-space in u1backend.
* Applied patch for #1066625 ubuntu one backend
- add delay between retries
