I'm proud to announce the fourth bugfix release 0.11.4 of the 0.11
series of the Simple Backup suite.

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

Series 0.11.x finally replaces the old-fashioned Simple Backup 0.10.5
with code that was developed in (Not So) Simple Backup in the meantime.
It adds some very interesting features and is ready for daily use. Most
notable enhancements are:

* fixes many, partly long standing, bugs

* 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)


This release in particular fixes:

  * [Fix] LP: #714916 Unhandled error in gio backend when looking up
