+0.11 [???]
+ - SNAPSHOT FORMAT CHANGES:
+ - The object slice syntax has been simplified; backup restores
+ are still possible but rebuilding the local database from
+ snapshots before v0.8 will require translation.
+ - Timestamps encoded into the top-level snapshot file name are
+ now UTC instead of the local time zone. This should avoid
+ ambiguity and ensure sorted order is chronological order in
+ the face of time zone changes.
+ - The format identifier is now "Format: Cumulus Snapshot v0.nn"
+ instead of "Format: LBS Snapshot v0.nn" (but the updated tools
+ will accept either variation).
+ - Additional checksum algorithms: sha224, sha256 (sha1 is still
+ supported).
+ - LOCAL DATABASE CHANGES:
+ - Segment utilization data (per snapshot) is tracked
+ differently, to allow better segment cleaning decisions.
+ - New, greatly-enhanced file include/exclude filtering language.
+ This is based on the filter language is rsync (though simplified)
+ and allows glob-like patterns. It also supports filter rules
+ merged at backup-time from files in the file system; this allows,
+ for example, users to control which files in their home
+ directories are included in backups. See doc/exclude.rst for
+ details.
+ - A new Python-based command-line interface to Cumulus. Eventually
+ this should be the only command directly invoked by the user; it
+ will automate backup expiration, segment cleaning, backup
+ mirroring, etc. Configuration options are read from a config file
+ so they can be applied consistently.
+
+0.10 [2012-05-29]
+ - Make a release that packages up various long-existing patches.
+ - Add FTP and SFTP storage backends (from Ralf Schlatterbeck and
+ Albert Dengg).
+ - Various bugfixes.
+
+0.9 [2009-07-28]
+ - Rework storage layer, to make it easier to support local files,
+ S3, and in the future more storage backends. cumulus-util now
+ permits URLS for specifying storage locations, including s3:// for
+ Amazon S3 storage.
+ - The script-level interface between the main cumulus binary and
+ remote storage has changed. It should not yet be considered
+ completely finalized.
+ - Add a tool (cumulus-sync) for copying snapshots between storage
+ repositories.
+ - Add a (mostly proof-of-concept) FUSE interface for accessing
+ snapshots.
+ - Implement a basic garbage-collection command for deleting unused
+ segments. There still needs to be a way to select snapshots to
+ delete (perhaps based on some type of schedule).
+ - Assorted minor bugfixes.
+
0.8 [2008-08-01]
- SNAPSHOT FORMAT CHANGE: The snapshot format has been extended to
allow the local database to be partially rebuilt from the contents
