AutoArchive
AutoArchive is a utility to help create backups more easily. It uses tar for creating archives. The idea of the program is that all information needed for making a backup is in one file. It has a command line interface and supports incremental backups.

Changes: This release specifies the GNU GPL version (3) in file headers. Some example '.aa' configuration files have been added to the doc directory.A symbolic link to the aa command named 'autoarchive' has been created, and the same has been done for the man page.

Changes: Better handling of archiver exit codes and failures. When tar exits with code 1 (some files changed while being archived), the result of the backup operation is not 'failed'. A notice message is printed instead.

Changes: Gzip and lzma support for tar archives was added. New archiver types can be specified in the --archiver option: targz and tarlzma which create tar.gz and tar.lzma archives, respectively. The path to the user configuration directory was changed. The user configuration directory is now at ~/.config/aa/ instead of ~/.aa/. The ability to specify multiple .aa files was added. Now it is possible to specify more than one archive spec file as arguments. All of them will be processed and the corresponding number of archives will be created.
