• Updated POD.
• Implemented optional purge_first toggle.
• Implemented optional lock toggle.

0.06 Sun Sep 21 2003

0.05 Tue Sep 16 2003

• Moved creation of the destination filename outside the archive condition.
• Combined the system and existence calls for archival and compression.
• Fixed a semantic bug with timeformat replacing timeregexp.
• Added a test for no compression backup.

0.03_1 Sat Sep 13 2003

• Yikes. The installation process fails tests and leaves META.yml behind. Oops! Sorry Ken. : \
• Croak right away if no archive or compression executable.
• Make the system call not fork a shell process.
• Flip on the debug switch in the test suite...

0.02 Thu Dec 3 00:28:02 EST 1998

• Changed the date string format from YYYY-MM-DD-hh:mm:ss to YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss, because the colons seem to cause problems with the GNU version of tar.
