# [2.0.6.0-2.0.6.0\_experimental\_2021-04-09](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/releases/tag/v2.0.6.0-2.0.6.0_experimental_2021-04-09)

## First experimental build in over a year!

We have been hard at work adding new features and fixing issues. This experimental release is a roll-up of all the fixes since the last experimental build and is expected to cause very few issues when upgrading.

A big thanks to all Duplicati contributors, supporters, fans and users for keeping the project evolving and improving.

### New in this version

- Added Tardigrade backend
- Added Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS)
- More Docker image versions
- Improved long-path support on Windows

We changed some larger things that you should be aware of when upgrading.

### The SSH backend has been updated

This update increases the security by prefering stronger encryption algorithms.  
However, this _can_ cause failing backups as the host key is reported as “changed”.  
If this happens, edit the backup and update the host key.

### Database version update from v10 to v11!

Downgrade from this version requires manually adjusting the version number in the database. The additions can be re-applied if the database is upgraded again later.

### Other changes that needs attention

- Duplicati now requires Mono 5.10 or greater
- S3 and Sharepoint option names on commandline now uses `-` for consistency (previously used `_`)
