Jun 29, 2015
- Fixed a bug into autoerase function of mysql and pgsql backup methods. When two mysql backup has the same base name (ex, database, and database-old), autoerase always erase only the shorter name.
- Enabled method_concurrent_limit function
- generating status.xml file as rss page feed for the html report, this rss feed contain an overall state for the today backups.

- Updated FAQ file about integrating synbak with nagios and icinga
