Compatibility Information
- v0.7 release is compatible with repositories created with v0.6 and v0.5.
- Due to splitter bug in previous releases (#595) repositories created using previous releases may not provide perfect deduplication for large files across multiple machines. Migrating the repository to v0.7 is recommended and will help reclaim the disk space.
