Minor modifications for better stability and security
Rdiffweb Release v2.3.8

Today we have prepared a new version of Rdiffweb which includes several small minor changes in order to improve the stability and security of Rdiffweb. Although this release does not include any major functionality, many users will be happy to have access to these fixes in an official release from Rdiffweb.

You will no doubt have noticed that the development of Rdiffweb has not been very active in recent months. Most of our efforts are focused on our Minarca data backup solution and more specifically on the Minarca agent which has been entirely rewritten in python to better integrate to the operating system and thus provide a better user experience to configure their data backup.

Please be patient, our attention will return to Rdiffweb shortly when we finish with the Minarca agent upgrades.
