0.07 --

- Fix status code display
0.08 --
- Add snapcopy command to allow efficient copy.
- snapcopy includes POD docs.
- Add Before and After directives to constrain backup to
certain times.

"make install".
0.11 --
- Add PingCommand directive that specifies command to run
to check connection to target system before backup.
- Use help from David Stoergel <lorax_at_lorax_dot_org>
to finish IgnoreVanished.
0.12 --
- Add Timestamp to debug output
- Matthias Pfafferodt contributed change to weekly/monthly backup so
it is done if more than 7 days or 30 days have elapsed. Before, it
would not work unless it was run on first day of week or month,
and that could cause a problem when the target system was down on
that day. Thanks to Matthias (Matthias.Pfafferodt at the excellent
domain mapfa.de).

- Silly me, ran afoul of CPAN's numbering restrictions.
