It's not only Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ but also World Backup Day! Therefore, Pika Backup 0.8 is available as of today. After two years of work, this release not only brings many small improvements, but also a rework of the code base that dates back to 2018. This will greatly help to keep Pika Backup stable and maintainable for another eight years.

For Pika Backup 0.8 @fina converted all code to what is now the common GNOME Rust style. In 2018, gtk-rs was still in its infancy, compared to today. Subclassing and template widgets weren't a thing in practice. But even Rust was quite different with not supporting async as language feature and therefore not being available in gtk-rs. It's amazing how far gtk-rs has come. You can also support them here https://opencollective.com/gtk-rs
