Re: Pre-release v2.1.0a0 - Alpha Release v2.1.0a0

[Patrik Dufresne]

Hello Eric,

I forgot what was the plan regarding the next release number. Do you plan
to make it 2.2.x or 3.0.x ?

Some important information to be added in changelogs. Python 3.5 support
was dropped in this version.

You may install this version using pip.

pip3 install rdiff-backup==2.1.0a0
