Longstop is a tool for the archive or backup of files to optical media or iso images. It includes support for the backup of MySQL databases and Subversion repositories to such media. There is a demo module to show how to write a plugin to encrypt and decrypt files. This module is not part of the main distribution and the cryptographic modules need to be separately acquired as they are not part of that module distribution. The main difference between 0.06 and 0.07 is the standardisation of prompt dialogues and output formats in preperation for the creation of a GUI administration tool. This expected to be the last main release without such a tool. Patches will released to deal with any serious issues in the interim. There have also been some bug fixes since 0.06.
