ZFS Assistant 0.7.0 beta is available

0.7.0

ZFS Assistant 0.7.0 is out, and it’s the first beta. It’s ready for wider testing, so please try it and tell us what you find. As with any beta, make sure your data is backed up before you rely on it.

I made ZFS Assistant because I wanted an easier way of managing my ZFS pools and tracking the status of all the jobs including replicating snapshots to remote pools. While I made this tool with my needs in mind, I hope others will find it useful. I already have some additional functionality for the roadmap so look forward to more updates in the future!
