[Jean-Peer Lorenz <peer.loz@xxxxxxx>]

The first bugfix release for the stable 0.3 series is now available. It
fixes bugs LP #576030, LP #616667 and LP #616497.

Thanks to all who contributed to this release with coding, sending
patches, testing, reporting bugs and translating!

Series 0.3.x adds some very interesting features and is ready for daily
use. Most notable enhancements are:

* implementation of a status application which presents information of
  running backups such as backup size, progress and estimated remaining
time
  
* implementation of a GIO/GVFS backend for access of remote targets
(currently
  supported is FTP, SFTP, SSH, NFS). The backend to use can be
controlled
  by a GConf setting (see
https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+faq/1256)
  
* notification window in case of not found backup destination: you can
  directly retry to use the specified destination, after mounting an
  external disk (good for creation of backups stored on external disks
  that might not be plugged in)

See the changelog on the download page for more information.


Known issues - There are a few known issues in NSsbackup 0.3.0:

* in order to use secure remote targets (SFTP, SSH via GIO) you'll have
to
  add the remote machine to your trusted machines first
  (see https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+faq/1255)  
* due to default security settings it is not possible to create backups
at
  remote destinations which are split into several chunks when running
as
  superuser (root) using the GIO backend
* when upgrading snapshots in old Simple Backup format (1.4 and older)
it is
  not recommended to use these as base for successive snapshots. Make a
full
  snapshot instead.
* No Help available on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy (due to use of Mallard)
* if you want to install nssbackup from source code after you've had
  already installed it from PPA, you need to *Purge* the package (i.e.
  remove package and configuration files, not only remove) to avoid
  confusion of your packaging software about configuration files in
  system directories (namely /etc/dbus-1/system.d)


Have fun.
