I've just made the 0.10 distribution archive.
http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/bin/boxbackup-0.10.tgz
MD5 (boxbackup-0.10.tgz) = bb8a69012b59fc737b690d594450d218

Download from sourceforge! ]
I note that it jumped from size 664699 to 842456 over rc3 -- I assume
this is a simple Microsoft inefficiency in their build files?
Anyone care to give it a quick look over before I push the button and
upload to sourceforge?
Have I missed anyone from the list of contributors?
Release notes:

Experimental features (no automated test exists)
