 0.1.3 (2009-06-06)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+------------------
 You can now specify pre-rm/post-rm-hooks that are executed whenever
 a snapshot is deleted. This release adds better compatibility with
 rsync 3.0, and avoids busy loops when automatically restarting the
 rsync process.

 0.1.2 (2009-03-05)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+------------------
 This release includes the reason why a snapshot gets removed in the
 log message. It will never remove the snapshot that is currently
 being created. It will really pass the full path to the last complete
 snapshot in the post_create_hook.

 opens /dev/null for reading and writing when executing rsync. It shows
