Version 1.3.0 - 3 Feb 2014

FieldListFile class (infofile module)

facilitate integration with Nagios (NagiosOutputWriter class)

stdout channels (command_wrappers module)
* Refactored hook scripts management
* Extracted logging configuration and userid enforcement from the
configuration class.

file is archived, through the 'pre_archive_script' and
'post_archive_script' configuration options.

attempting to execute a full backup (#14)
