[Box Backup] Long time since last release....

[Mikael Syska]

Yo,

Primary developed for OpenBSD, the system i run. BSD is the way to go :-)

But I will look forward if there will be new developers on the project, 
I would also help, but my experience in programming aint that good yet, 
but maybe it will be in a year or 2.
