version XX -- ...

	added pgsql (PostgreSQL) handler, with vservers support

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

		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)

version 0.4.4 -- March 18 2005
	results of handlers are now read line by line. 
	changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is

		rdiff-backup if the keep has a unit on it, otherwise it adds the 'D').
	added dup handler (still pretty beta)
	added maildir handler (very specialized handler)
