Some important changes since last OpenBSD package:
- New metadata format introduced; shrinks md archives for most users
by not storing redundant path names for each file
- Speed up operations that do not need crypto secrets by not
decrypting secrets upon startup
- Add ctctl tool to change local crypto password
- Fixed a metadata bug that made mixed endian architectures fail
- Extract creates temporary files and then renames them instead of
extracting directly into the original filename
- Add support for include and exclude patterns for archive mode
- Validate metadata file before commencing extract operation
- Fix a bug where crypto secrets could not be copied between little and
big endian machines and vice versa
- Dramatically decrease memory footprint of cyphertite
- Print out the filesize and mtime from the server prettily in md list mode
- Permit differential backups of absolute paths to come from different working
directories

changes:
- The wizard was modified to create the configuration path and to run it
at more expected times.
- max_mdcache_size configuration option to prevent the cache directory
from growing beyond a set value.
- md_max_differentials configuration option to govern when a new level 0
backup is run.
- The code now ensures that all metadata parts are downloaded before
starting the extract operation.
- Asymmetrical differential backups are prevented from running.
- Some error messages were improved.
- A couple of bugs in the differential backup code path were fixed
ok jasper@

- minor bug fixes
It deduplicates, compresses, and encrypts data prior to transmission
providing total privacy while keeping chattering down on the wire.
It seamlessly supports both IPv6 and IPv4 on a variety of platforms.
ok and much help from sthen@ landry@
