This is the end of the beta phase and the last step before the release 
of 2.2.0. Most of the work since last beta was spent on improving 
testing and documentation. Few corner case bugs were found and fixed, 
especially under Windows.

All changes are documented in the changelog 
<https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/blob/v2.1.4rc0/CHANGELOG.adoc#new-in-v2-1-4rc0-2022-12-03>. 
Check especially the changes (marked with /CHG/) which might impact your 
workflow.
