- update to 2.2.4:
* Only very small code and documentation fixes, hopefully
really the last fix release of the stable branch 2.2, before
the development effort for v2.4 starts.
- update to 2.2.3:
* Only small code and documentation fixes and additions,
probably the last fix release of the stable branch 2.2,
before the development effort for v2.4 starts.
* That's embarrassing but the last version still had a glitch
and the sdist package `rdiff-backup-2.2.2.tar.gz` didn't
contain the pre-rendered man-pages which some packagers
requested.

- Happy Holidays release v2.2.0
- Despite all these changes, rdiff-backup 2.2 remains compatible with
rdiff-backup 2.0, but you can, and are encouraged to, use the new API
using --api-version 201, enabling two additional features:
* there is at last a --help parameter
* the CLI (Command Line Interface) has been refurbished and modernized
(the old one is still present but deprecated)
* You can store your parameters in a file, one per line, and call
rdiff-backup @myfile to use them
* Verbosity levels and error codes have been standardized for clearer
interaction with the tool
* Last backup can be regressed even if it isn't failed
* Locking of repositories has been greatly improved

- update to 2.0.5:
* CHG: explicitly refuse to back-up to exFAT because it doesn't
handle properly case insensitive deletion of files
* CHG: testing explicitly for existence of tempdir might make
certain setups fail now because tempdir was silently ignored
* DEV: Add a misc script to setup an ArchLinux as development
platform
* DEV: fix compatibility in rollsum and sum-size with rdiff
2.2/2.3 leading to errors in librsynctest
* DEV: function rpath.getdevnums now also returns the device
type, block or char
* DEV: replace deprecated xattr.xattr with xattr. function
* FIX: address PY_SSIZE_T deprecation warning appearing
under Python 3.8 in the C code
* FIX: avoid TypeError: a bytes-like object is required,
not 'str' when logging error message by fixing encoding
* FIX: explicitly test existence of tempdir and avoid "Can't
mix strings and bytes in path components" error
* FIX: failed on certain device files with no such file
or directory error
* FIX: Force encoding of log file to be UTF-8 on all platforms
and be lenient to avoid codec errors on logging
