Main changes

Nothing big, only a few bug fixes, some to simplify the life of friendly packagers, and one enhancement update from @pcanning to show the size of any removed increment.

Detailed release notes are at the top of the changelog. As always, consider especially the changes marked with CHG as they might impact your workflow.

Install

The installation, described in details in the read me, has the quick version:

• Linux, trust on your distro to provide the latest version of rdiff-backup "soon-ish" (or copr/PPA)
• Windows, download the asset rdiff-backup-2.2.1.win32/64exe.zip from the tagged release and unpack it somewhere in your PATH.
• Any supported Platform, and a few unsupported like BSD and MacOSX, use pip install rdiff-backup (or download and install the proper asset from the tagged release).
• in all cases, you might want to have a look at the migration guide.
