3. (read-conf) → (funcall read-conf)

01/26

The update 01/13 damaged my linux system; hopefully no one else suffered from it.

Corrected (bash) cleaning block

It was removing more older archives than it should.

01/13

Major releases became more special than before. Assuming that the release’s version is N-0-0,

1. The file N-0-0/previous.gz is a sorted list of previous files names presented in all previous archives.
2. Not only recently modified files are archived, but also those with names missing in N-0-0/previous.gz
3. Names of the newly detected file names (no mater what’s the modification date) are saved to N-0-0/new.gz

01/12

Two problems fixed:

1. The code was deleting previous major (“macro”) archives when creating new one.
2. During creation of new macro N-archive (having indices N-0-0) the code was removing all previous macro archives with indices M-*-* (where M=N-1). Now when a new macro N-archive is created, only archives with indices M-*-* (where M=N-2) except for M-0-0 are erased. (There was a similar problem with meso-archives which is also fixed.)

Should be safe to use

01/06

renamed letf → lett
