* Changes in preparation for 3.2.0beta1... * Fixed FTP xfer method, with help from Holger Parplies and Mirco Piccin. FTP restores are still not supported. * Fixed bug in BackupPC_sendEmail where a user only receives email about one host. * Fixed bug where top-level attrib file was linked into the pool with the wrong digest, caused by it being updated multiple times with multiple shares. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky who also supplied a patch. * Fixed bug in blackout calculation when multiple periods span midnight. Report and patch from Joachim Falk. * Wrapped eval {} around attribute unpacking to make it more robust to data corruption. Path submitted by Tim Connors. * Ignore fileType 8 and 9 in BackupPC_tarCreate rather than consider then errors. These are sockets and unknown (eg: solaris door) files that are created dynamicaly by applications - there is no meaningful restore for these file types. * Changed lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm and lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm based on patches from Davide Brini and Holger Parplies so that main config %Conf values are available in the host config file, allowing more flexibility in perl expressions in the config files. Use beware, since the CGI editor won't work correctly if the config file have perl expressions. * Obscure password values in LOG file when CGI editor is used to change values. Proposed by Steve Ling. * Added favicon.ico from Axel Beckert. Thanks to Tyler Wagner for submitting another version and reminding me about the first. * Replace "sort(HostSortCompare keys(%$Hosts))" with "sort HostSortCompare keys(%$Hosts)" in bin/BackupPC to avoid an error with certain versions of perl. * Fixed $Conf{XX} links in the BackupPC.html and the CGI editor so they correctly reference the definition. * Support ${VAR} style variable substitution in commands, in addition to existing $VAR style. Suggested by Jeffrey Kosowsky. * Clarified usage of -b and -w options to BackupPC_tarCreate. Submitted by Michael Selway. * Repaired Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server Lang string and added new string Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server_error_message. Proposed and explained by Holger Parplies. * Added 'use utf8' to lib/BackupPC/Lang/pl.pm. Reported by Michal Sawicz. * Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Hubert Tournier. * Minor update to lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm from David Relson.
Updates in preparation for 3.0.0beta2: * Config Editor "Save" button is now always visible, but greyed out until there are changes to save. * Config editor allows other tabs to be selected when there is an error, which allows you to fix an error (eg: missing binary) in an exiting config file. Errors are now displayed at the top of the page in addition to next to the erroneous setting. * Fixed config.pl editor writing to solve bug with multi-line text strings ending in newline. Reported and root caused by Les Stott and Jerry Groendyke. * Fixed error recovery case in BackupPC::PoolWrite, reported by Samuel Bancal. * New directory/file/hardlink and symlink image icons from Jono Woodhouse, making directory browse more compact. * Reordered the Server navigation bar links, suggested by David Relson. * Fixed typos in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc, configure.pl and config.pl reported by David Relson.
* Major changes from Ryan Kucera to add style sheets to the CGI interface, allowing easy customization. Added new icons and BackupPC logo. Numerous navigation improvements. * Major addition of Archive feature from Josh Marshall. Special clients can be configured to be archive targets (eg: tape drives, CD-R). Any subset of the backup clients can be selected and tar archives are created, optionally compressed and split and written to the output device. Logs are maintained and are browsable. * Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded.
