# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Added some performance improvements to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO
- for the case of small files with cached checksums.
+* Added new script BackupPC_archiveStart that allows command-line
+ starting of archives. Based on script written by Sergey Kovzik,
+ which in turn was based on an earlier version by Holger Parplies.
+
+* Added Simplified Chinese CGI translation from Youlin Feng,
+ plus fixed a couple of cases where utf8 share names were
+ not displayed correctly.
+
+* Added sorting by column feature to host summary table in CGI
+ interface. Implemented by Jeremy Tietsort.
* Added optional support for IO::Dirent which allows inode information
to be extracted from the dirent directory structure. This allows
gain. On other file systems there is no real improvement. This
optimization is turned on automatically if IO::Dirent is installed.

-* Added Simplified Chinese CGI translation from Youlin Feng.
+* Added check to BackupPC at startup that $TopDir can support
+ hardlinks. Also added check to BackupPC_dump that a hardlink
+ below $TopDir/pc/HOST can be made to below $TopDir/cpool.
+ Also added the need for a hard-link capable file system to
+ the documentation. Suggested by Nils Breunese.
* Added FreeBSD init.d file provided by Gabriel Rossetti.
provide a file list (without creating the archive).
Requested by Dirk.
+* Made the default charset for BackupPC_zipCreate cp1252, which
+ appears to work correctly with WinZip. Unfortunately there is
+ no clear standard for charset encoding in zip files.
+
+* Added support so that pre-3.0 backups with non-utf8 charsets
+ can be viewed and restored correctly. A new config variable
+ $Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} specifies the charset used to
+ encode file names in legacy backups. This is only relevant
+ if you are trying to view or restore a backup made with
+ BackupPC 2.x and some of the file names have non-ascii
+ characters.
+
+* Added setting of the environment variable BPC_REQUSER to
+ the requesting user name in BackupPC prior to fork(), so
+ each child process inherits the value. Submitted by
+ Holger Parplies.
+
+* Fixed bug in rsync incrementals that happens on particular
+ file names when a file being backed up fails in both rsync
+ phases. Reported by Dan Smisko.
+
* Fixed single-restore file name charsets for IE, reported by
Francis Lessard.
* Fixed makeDist so that the --config-dir option to configure.pl
works correctly. Reported by Randy Barlow, Tony Shadwick and others.
+* Removed ConfDir from config editor (since it is hardcoded in
+ lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm). Also made TopDir and LogDir only visible
+ if useFHS (for non-FHS they are hardcoded in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm).
+
* Applied patch from Holger Parplies that fixes cleanup of early abort
in BackupPC_dump.
