.ReaR now interprets square brackets enclosing IPv6 addresses in URLs as expected Previously, square brackets in `OUTPUT_URL` and `BACKUP_URL` were not interpreted correctly. Specifying an IPv6 address instead of a host name requires enclosing the address in square brackets, for example, [::1] for localhost. Since the brackets were not interpreted correctly, using an IPv6 address in a `sshfs://` or `nfs://` URL was not possible. As a consequence, if the user used a `sshfs://` or `nfs://` scheme in the `BACKUP_URL` or `OUTPUT_URL` with an IPv6 address enclosed in square brackets, ReaR aborted prematurely with an error message, for example: ---- ERROR: Invalid scheme '' in BACKUP_URL ---- With this update, ReaR is now fixed to not interpret square brackets as shell metacharacters when parsing `sshfs://` and `nfs://` URLs. Now, you can use IPv6 addresses enclosed in brackets in `BACKUP_URL` and `OUTPUT_URL` that use the `sshfs://` or `nfs://` scheme . For example: ---- OUTPUT_URL=nfs://[2001:db8:ca2:6::101]/root/REAR ---- Before this fix was implemented, it was possible to work around the bug by using quoting and backslash characters, for example: ---- OUTPUT_URL="nfs://\[2001:db8:ca2:6::101\]/root/REAR" ---- Note: If you have been using the workaround, remove the backslash characters after applying the update.
