+ - New option --min-complete to specify the minimal number of snapshots
+   to keep.
+
+ - Improved handling of rsync errors. The new --max-rsync-errors option
+ tells dss to terminate after the given number of rsync failures.
+
+ - New home page URL and email address.
+
+ - Reworked rsync restart logic, new --max-rsync-errors option.

+0.1.5 (2014-01-14)
+------------------
+
+ - snapshot recycling: outdated, redundant and orphaned snapshots are
+ reused as the basis for new snapshots.
+
+ - New subcommands: --kill, --reload.
+
+ - The semaphore-based locking system prevents to start multiple
+ instances of dss.
+
+ - When dss receives SIGHUP it now writes the internal state and the
+ configuration to the log file
+
+ - First steps to make the source code ANSI C conform (thanks to
+ Daniel Richard G).
+
+ - dss writes log messages to stderr rather than to the logfile unless
+ running in daemon mode.
+
+ - Default hooks work also on systems where "/bin/true" does not exist,
+ e.g. Mac OS.
