[Duplicity-talk] Duplicity 0.6.16 Released

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hello All,

There are a lot of new fixes and enhancements in this release.  See the list below for more details.

A special thanks goes out to Edgar Soldin and Michael Terry for helping out with a lot of the coding, testing, and answering questions on the mailing list.  I've been very busy the last few months and they just stepped up and did the job.  Thanks!

As usual, you can download this at https://launchpad.net/duplicity/+download

...Thanks,

...Ken
