During this weekend, as expected, I spent some time working on the backup-manager source tree. Bugzilla helped me a lot for doing this job, now that I use flags to mark my bugs, this is easier for me to figure out what I have to do.

Concerning technical details, I fixed 8 bugs in the SVN tree in the last three days. In those 8 bugs, three of them were feature requests:

1. The source tree provides now a new upload method for encrypting your precious archives before storing them remotely,
2. You can now change the permissions that will be affected to your archives if you use the secure repository mode.
3. You can choose to purge locally your archives immediately after having uploaded them, thanks to a new configuration variable that set the remote time to live (opposed to the local one).

Other bugs are real issues that are now closed: duplicates purging works again, the burning system can now burn a medium successfully in any circumstances and you can safely use FTP uploads in passive mode if you’re behind a firewall.

I think that we are really close to the next development release (0.7.3), stay tuned…
