Announcement: Release 1.6.0
Hello, I am happy to announce the 1.6.0 release today. Full release notes: <https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/releases/tag/v1.6.0> Changelog: <https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/blob/dev/CHANGES> Let me give you a summary. Gocryptfs is used for encryption in local profiles. This replaces EncFS with its known security issues. Therefore, using EncFS for encryption is no longer supported for newly created profiles (local and SSH), but remains available for existing profiles. Gocryptfs encryption for SSH profiles is not yet available and will follow in a later release. Package maintainers should be aware of modified dependencies and adjust their packaging accordingly. After 17 years of existence, Back In Time now has its own application logo, provided by Gregory Deseck (@gregorydk). Support for external SSH key agents and configurations was added. There is a new option to warn users about low available storage space. Several changes and improvements were made to the GUI, most of them in the Manage Profiles dialog. Translations improved and updated. Excluding English, 17 of 44 languages are fully translated, 9 are over 80%, but 7 languages are lower than 50% complete and removal candiates for the next release. Newly added language: Georgian. Because of no translation activity the languages Bosnian, Thai, and Occidental/Interlingue were removed. Several bug fixes and a large part of the codebase were refactored. Regards, Christian Buhtz
