New in v0.4.3.RC9 (2007/07/09)
------------------------------
Major changes in this release, tread carefully...
Change to a max block size of 2048 bytes for rsync difference buffer. This may slow things down for truly large files, but will give much smaller deltas on files with numerous small changes, such as database files.
New S3 backend, Boto, from Eric Evans, replaces bitBucket. Boto can be obtained from http://code.google.com/p/boto/. I did not make this a requirement for setup since its not in the normal repositories.
New FTP backend from Thorsten Schnebeck that uses ncftp instead of Pythons ftplib. This seems to be much more solid. I added the -f option with a secure temp file to contain host, user, and password, rather than having them on the command line. I also added the -m option to the put command to create the target directory and the -t option to make sure it times out if there is a network problem.
The Backend class now contains a popen_persist function that acts like run_command_persist. Both use the new num_retries global.
Added a commandline option, '--num-retries=<int>', to set the number of retries. The default is 5.
