version XX -- ...

	added pgsql (PostgreSQL) handler, with vservers support
	added vservers support to duplicity handler
	        Note: the configuration is a bit different of rdiff
	        handler's one, but the default behavior is the same: have
	        a look to example.dup.
	improved README
	        documented .disabled method.
		corrected VROOTDIR default value.
		added ninjahelper to the install instructions.
	improved rdiff, dup and sys handlers' vservers support
	        prevent vserver-debiantools' $VROOTDIR/ARCHIVES directory
		to be seen as a vserver
	changes to sys handler
	        make use of configurable $VSERVERINFO instead of hard-coded vserver-info.
		fixed dpkg existence test inside vserver.
		fixed $nodpkg use.
	changes to pgsql handler
	        now checks if the specified vserver is running.
		now checks if $PGSQLDUMP/$PGSQLDUMPALL are available where needed.
		now checks if "postgres" user exists on the host/vserver.
	changes to ninjahelper
	        check_perms() does not die anymore on group/world readable
		        helper scripts (now consistent with the "helper scripts
		        must not be group or world writable!" error msg).
		xedit action now tries $EDITOR, then /etc/alternatives/editor,
			then nano, vim and vi, and aborts if none of these exists.
	
version 0.7 -- July 26 2005
	added ninjahelper: a dialog based wizard for creating backupninja configs.
	considerably improved and changed the log file output.
	you can now disable actions with .disabled (this is new preferred method).
	added makecd handler and example.makecd for backing up to cd/dvd (thanks stef).
	fixed bug when specifying multiple 'when' options.
    
version 0.6 -- June 16 2005
	ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or
		slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method
		is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
	******************************************************************
	NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler, 
	you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
	******************************************************************
	implemented fix so that the main script will echo fatal errors rather
		than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour
		if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem)
	added vserver support to main script and to the handlers: mysql, svn, sys, rdiff
	changes to duplicity handler (thanks intrigeri!):
		"keep = yes" now disables file cleaning on desthost
		added "sign" option for backups signing
		added "encryptkey" option to specify the gpg key to use
		split config into [source], [gpg] and [dest] sections
		added "nicelevel" option
		added "testconnect" option
		added "sshoptions" option (will be passed to ssh/scp)
		added "bandwidthlimit" option
	example.dup example config file for duplicity handler 
	added trac (http://trac.edgewall.com/) environment handler (thanks Charles Lepple!)
	added configfile option to mysql handler
		the default is /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. with this, 
		sqldump doesn't need dbusername. (hotcopy still does).
	fixed bug in mysql handler which caused some passwords to not work.
	 	(.my.cnf files now have double quotes around password)
	can now pass options to hwinfo and sfdisk in sys handler.
