Wyng Backup 🐦 v0.8.1 is out and available for download! https://codeberg.org/tasket/wyng-backup

Changes from v0.8.0 include bug fixes, faster data seeking over unallocated space, expanded archive repair capabilities and improved error handling.

Development is also progressing toward v0.9, with alpha2 now available for testing. Alpha versions are now named 'wyng09a' so they aren't accidentally run instead of stable releases. These versions also require '--test-write-v3' option before writing to archives created by Wyng stable.

Some more good news...

@QubesOS is now graciously funding further development of Wyng, with the expressed goal of eventually integrating fast & secure Wyng backups into Qubes OS. This next stage of Wyng development will focus on a raft of features from the v0.9 roadmap that enhance convenience and user-friendliness, such as resuming interrupted backup sessions and direct cloud storage support.

Many thanks to the Qubes OS team for recognizing the advantages Wyng brings and for their support!

I just posted this in a github issue for wyng_backup...

👉 I don't care about the pretense, pretexts or excuses they use for their window dressing; A spyware vendor is a spyware vendor, and a despot is a despot. Microsoft betrays users' trust at an immense scale.

Therefore I would like to leave this MS-owned site for someplace more ethical. The first alternative that comes to mind is CodeBerg; it serves projects more demanding than mine so I think it will be fine. Suggestions for other sites are welcome!
