'amverify' and 'amverifyrun' have been replaced with the more flexible 'amcheckdump'. 'amcryptsimple' and 'amgpgcrypt', encryption plugins based on GPG, have been added. 'amserverconfig' and 'amaddclient', initial Amanda configuration tools, have been added. There are speedups in 'amrecover find' and starting amrecover. The Device API has a pluggable interface to storage devices supporting tapes, vtapes, RAIT, and Amazon S3. New Perl modules link directly to Amanda to support writing Amanda applications in Perl.

A new 'local' security driver supports backups of the Amanda server without any network connection or other configuration.
Lots of bugs were fixed. The many IPv6 bugs
include missing sockaddr_storage, missing
AI_V4MAPPED and AI_ALL, a problem with comparing
IPv4 and IPv6 v4mapped addresses. The bsd/bsdudp
server uses two sockets; one for IPv4 and one for
IPv6. Compilation failures on some platforms were
fixed.
Many bugs were fixed. The code was cleaned up.
KRB5 auth is now working. The program now works
with IPv6 addresses. The Amanda configuration file
(amanda.conf) was changed. Debugging is enabled in
the configuration file. The tapetype is set to
"readblocksize" if maxtapeblocksize is set too
large for your hardware.
