Congratulations!!! 0.16 has been released

[Shachar S. <rsy...@sh...>]

Hi list,


0.16 of rsyncrypto has just been released. I trust I don't have to tell
anyone on this list what's new in this release :-).


In many respects, this is the most important release of rsyncrypto ever.
This is not saying much, I guess, as the next two released are also
expected to bear the same title. To recap to anyone who was not listening:

0.16 - added support for file name encryption

This includes full support for both -r (recursive) and --filelist,
including support for --delete and --delete-keys on both previous
options. Program was tested on Windows and Linux - feedback on other
platforms welcome.


0.17 - planned change is the addition of signing of the encrypted files.
This will allow and external party to verify that the file was not
tampered with, without having the key to open the file.

0.18 - Meta information encryption. All relevant meta information will
be encrypted into the file, including modification time, owner,
permissions, and plaintext file name.

0.19 - integrate zlib into rsyncrypto, eliminating the need to rely on
an external "gzip" executeable.

Future feature and release numbers are, obviously, subject to change. I
have not, yet, decided when will be the right time to switch
rsyncrypto's status from "beta" to "release". It will either be 0.18 or
0.19, feature wise.

Waiting to hear your feedback,
             Shachar
