anybody working on the new version against the new librsync-1.0

thanks.

not that I have heard of - Ben has woken up now - maybe he will do
something.
While they are at it, whoever does work on it, might want to consider
making the windows version of the code more usable. Happy to supply
testing/coding platforms.

My 1.0 cleanup of librsync is not ready for use yet, so it would be
premature to rework rdiff-backup to use it.

However, it would be a very good thing if everyone upgraded to librsync 0.9.7.

is the api are frozen? if so ot's possible to start work on it to be
ready when librsync will ready.

However, it would be a very good thing if everyone upgraded to librsync 0.9.7.

is there any api changes or just a recompilation is required?

Yes, the API is just about frozen, but I am not sure (and I haven't
persuaded Donovan) that this is really the right thing to do.

However, it would be a very good thing if everyone upgraded to librsync
0.9.7.

There are API changes; in particular a lot of the API has been removed
in an effort to simplify it. In particular the only way to get input
into and out of the library is through a very simple form of callback.
I should check whether or not this will sit well with the Python
wrappers. I'll post a link later.

I think Farkas was reffering to librsync 0.9.7 api changes. But anyway -
I just tried 0.9.7 with 0.13.4 on debian testing and debian stable and
it works nicely. Compiles ok, installs ok and doens't even choke on a
massive file I was crashing on before.
