  connection.
• Catch exception if executed commands such as qemu-img are missing on
  system.
• Code cleanup

Version 2.3

Version 2.3

• Update README
• Add option -S (--start-domain): if specified and virtual domain is offline
  during backup, domain will be started in pause mode, allowing to execute

• Call flush() on NBD connection during restore: restore of domains
  with multiple disks could fail with NbdConnectionTimeout due to race
  condition (#163)
• Pass pidFile to qemu-nbd process for local NBD server during restore,
  report PID of forked process instead of parent.

Full Changelog: v2.1...v2.2

Version 1.9.54

Version 1.9.54

• Exit with error if both compress option and raw output format
  is specified: options are mutually exclusive.
• Update progressbar during chunked data read/write. If big portions
  of the disk are backed up, it would appear as if no progress is made
  (#133)
• If an active remote backup is aborted (ctrl+c), stopping the libvirt backup job
  failed because the signal is sent to the used ssh connection, too. Now the
  signal handler attempts to re establish the connection to the remote system
  in order to correctly stop the backup operation.
• Add close() function to libvirt client class: disconnect libvirt after
  backup has finished.
• virtnbdmap: code reorg.
