08/31/2010S3 Backup 1.0 Final

The integration with our new payment processing needs some more work, but I figured it doesn’t have to hold up the release. So here it is, S3 Backup 1.0 final.

As intended 1.0 is mostly identical to 1.0 RC3, but we intoduced a few safe changes.

  • The most significant one is that license query now has an autoretry for some specific cases, this only affects the app when it is run for the first time. More on this in a blog post on licensing system internals.
  • PyCrypto was updated to 2.1.0
  • Python was updated to 2.6.6

If you are running 1.0 RC3, you can safely keep using that. However, as 1.0 final is out it frees us to do a 1.0.1 release, which we have in the pipeline, and we’ll get it out ASAP to fix the GUID collisions.

We’ll keep the preorder deal available until the new payment processing is live.
