- FTP mirror support added:
* Now it is possible to mirror backup files to FTP server. FTP proxy settings are avaliable on Options panel.
- Fixed encryption / decryption of passwords etc. in gbakschd.cfg settings file. In some cases it was possible that encryption algorithm created string that included FF (form feed), LF (line feed) etc. characters. These caused that such string was not readed correctly from cfg file (known limitation of TIniFile). Now these encrypted strings are also Base64 encoded and stored in seperate keys in cfg file to preserve backward compatibility. If program finds new Base64 encoded key then it uses it, else it reads old string.
