The release mechanism was changed in a way that minor updates like
this one will not get a release tag in CVS, also the version
number reported by MLDonkey will stay the same.

All numbers mentioned here can be found as patches on
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=mldonkey

* backup_options_delay, default 0
How often (in hours) should a backup of the ini files be written into old_config.
A value of zero means that a backup is written only when the core shuts down.

* backup_options_generations, default 10
Define the total number of options archives in old_config.

Command save got two new parameters:
* "save all" saves options, sources and creates a ini file backup
* "save backup" speaks for itself;-)

  this is consistent with eMule
* on other systems $HOME/.mldonkey will be created and used,
