I have released rsbackup 5.1.

Description:

   rsbackup is a backup tool that uses rsync to back up your files to
   hard disks.
      * It uses rsync’s ability to hardlink unchanged files together to
        keep multiple copies with only the space cost of the
        directories.
      * Backups may be taken from multiple machines (using SSH) and
        stored to multiple filesystems, which could be fixed or
        external disks.
      * Old backups are removed automatically, using flexible per-volume
        policies.
      * The current backup status can be generated as a file or sent as
        an email, with plain text and HTML format supported.
      * Hook features are provided to allow operator-supplied programs
        to be run at key points during the backup process, to ensure
        that devices are mounted, to support backing up via snapshots,
        etc.

Changes in 5.1:

  * Store directories are now normally required to be mount points. See
    the description of store and store-pattern in rsbackup(5) and
    --unmounted-store in rsbackup(1) for options to restore the
    previous behavior. Fixes issue #42.
  * Minor build fixes.

Advance warnings:

   * No 32-bit .deb files will be distributed in the future.
     I will still accept bug reports and PRs concerning 32-bit
     builds for the time being (within reason).
