Version 0.8 released
Published on March 31, 2026 by Sophie
After another 6 small releases for Pika Backup 0.7, the new major version 0.8 is finally available, after two years of work. We would thank you for all your continued support and patience. Like for the previous releases, we are tracking more than 20 changes for the new version. Among the highlights are:
- Redesigned and clearer setup dialog.
- Including single files into the backup.
- Rework of the code base to follow current GNOME Rust coding style and updates to many newer widgets.
- Better handling of many more error and conflict states.
The work for this release will greatly help us to keep Pika Backup maintainable and stable in the future. Meanwhile, work on new features for Pika Backup 0.9 has already started.
