Hello,

After working on different solutions to fix hdup 2.0.1 I finally saw
the light 2 weeks ago :-) This has now resulted in hdup 2.0.3. With
this release you can at last do the things I promised for 2.0.0 :-)

I'm sure there will still be issues, but it's working fine for me
and a few other people. One compilation thingy - you need gmake 
and is does not compile on freebsd 4.11 (it _does_ compile on
freebsd 5.3) and I have no idea why...

Documentation is still not great, esp. on the newly include/exclude
mechanism, but this will improve in the next releases. 

The subversion repo is also still not open - because mod_dav is not
working on apache2 (from Debian Unstable).

The project page for hdup2 is http://www.miek.nl/projects/hdup2.
(btw, 2.0.2 was never released publicly)

This will hopefully mark the end of life for hdup1.6 :-)


The changelog:
[Bugs]
  * Incremental backups are fixed
  * Security fixes (thanks to pscan, rats, flawfinder)
  * Compile fix for OSX 
  * Compilation now needs gmake
  * Fix the include/exclude mechanism. Per default there
    is a .* include, which is overriden by any user defined
    include.
  * Use -f when compressing (see bzip2/gzip/lzop man pages)
  * Removed bogus fprintf
  * Gzip compression wasn't enabled by default
[Features]
  * unexpandable arguments in the pre- and post- scripts
    are expanded to -empty-
  * Use fread, speedup of factor 2 (est.)
[Remarks]
  * You need 'gmake' to compile it 
[Todo]
  * It does not compile on FreeBSD 4.11 (it does on 5.3...)



Happy holidays,
(If there are issues: I'm having a mini holiday from Christmas till
2nd of Januri).

grtz,
