Hi,

This is to announce that the 0.6 series has reached End-Of-Life.  No
further updates or upgrades will be made to it.  The long term support
folks can easily upgrade to the tarball version
<https://launchpad.net/duplicity/+download>, the Daily PPA
<https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/daily>, or the Stable
PPA <https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa>, depending
on their needs.

The 0.7 series will continue while we work on 0.8 with an eye to ever
larger backups and split signature files.

We would love to work with the distros to figure out how to assist in their
long term support needs, but currently we are at odds with how development
is done. We do not have time to maintain dozens of different versions
dependent on the vagaries of each of the distros, while at the same time
adding new features.  Heck, we don't even have the time to maintain the
half-dozen or so versions that Ubuntu would need.  So, progress will be
made, but if you want or need to stick with the distribution repository for
whatever reason, we'll try to help, but the most common response will be to
upgrade to one of the above.

...Thanks,
...Ken
