# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Added config and host CGI editor.
+* Removed default paths from conf/config.pl so configure.pl will
+ determine the correct ones at install time. Avoids problem of
+ the config editor complaining about bad executable paths the
+ first time you use it.
-* Added rsync hardlink support.
+* Changed first byte of compressed files with rsync checksums appended
+ to 0xd7 to allow correct protocol_version >= 27 md4 checksums to be
+ written. Old cached checksum files have a first byte 0xd6 and are
+ now considered to be uncached. They will be automatically updated
+ as needed. This avoids the cached checksum warnings in beta2.
+
+* BackupPC_tarPCCopy now handles all file types correctly. Reported
+ by George Avrunin.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC_nightly to finish pending deletes before renaming
+ pool chains.
+
+* Fixes for rsync restore where hardlink is to file outside of the
+ top-level restore directory. Reported by George Avrunin, who helped
+ with debugging.
+
+* Fixes for checksum mismatch on restore for certain file sizes.
+ Reported by George Avrunin and others.
+
+* Fix for config.pl writing code to handle multi-line expressions.
+ Reported by David Relson and others.
+
+* Fix for CGI editor when deleting hash entries whose keys are
+ non alphanumeric. Report by David Relson and Aaron Ciarlotta.
+
+* Two fixes to configure.pl from Andreas Vögele.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0beta2, 18 Nov 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fix for final md4 digest check on rsync transfers >= 512MB when protocol
+ version >= 27 and checksums are not cached. Reported by Garith Dugmore
+ and Dale Renton.
+
+* 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.
+
+* configure.pl checks version of Encode.pm. Reported by Chris Stone.
+
+* Several fixes to bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary from Stian Jordet.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Fixed table width in backup browsing to avoid Firefox layout anomoly,
+ provided by Jono Woodhouse.
+
+* CSS file updates from Jono Woodhouse. Prior (v2) version is included
+ as BackupPC_stnd_orig.css in case people prefer the old skin.
+
+* More compact host summary, including disabled host indication,
+ from Jono Woodhouse.
+
+* New directory/file/hardlink and symlink image icons from Sean Cameron
+ and Jono Woodhouse, making directory browse more compact.
+
+* BackupPC.pid is now world readable, suggested by Casper Thomsen.
+
+* 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.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0beta1, 30 Jul 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed several Xfer charset conversions.
+
+* Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent
+ Fleuranceau.
+
+* Rsync transfers now correctly handle file names with \n or \r.
+
+* Host name is forced to lower case, to match 2.x.
+
+* Fixed LOG file naming in BackupPC_restore and BackupPC_archive.
+
+* GFK applied fr.pm corrections from Nicolas Stransky.
+
+* Updated init.d/src scripts for FHS (ie: replaced __TOPDIR__/log
+ with __LOGDIR__ and __TOPDIR__/conf with __CONFDIR__). Patch
+ provided by Rodrigo Real.
+

+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0beta0, 11 Jul 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added configuration and host CGI editor.
+
+* Added rsync hardlink support. Requires latest version of
+ File::RsyncP (0.62).
+
+* Decoupled BackupPC_dump from BackupPC_nightly by making
+ asynchronous file linking/delete robust to race conditions.
+ Now only BackupPC_nightly and BackupPC_link are mutually
+ exclusive so only one runs at a time, and BackupPC_dump and
+ BackupPC_restore can run anytime.
+
+* Added support for multi-level incrementals. In the style of dump(1),
+ the level of each incremental can be specified. Each incremental
+ backups up everything since the most recent backup of a lower level
+ (fulls are always level 0). Previous behavior was all incrementals
+ were level 1, meaning they backed up everything since the last full
+ (level 0). Default configuration is all incrementals are level 1.
* Server file names are now in utf8 and optional conversion
- to/from client name charsets is done.
+ to/from client name charsets can be configured. All CGI pages
+ now use the utf8 charset.
+
+* Backup metadata is now additionally saved to pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo,
+ in addition to pc/HOST/backups. In case pc/HOST/backups gets trashed,
+ then a new script BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary can read the per-backup
+ metadata from pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo and reconstruct the backups file.
+ Roberto Moreno also pointed out an early error in the CVS version.
+
+* Added Storage module and Storage::Text which localizes all the
+ text data file reading/writing (eg: backups, restores, archives
+ and config.pl files). Added read verify after all write
+ operations for robustness. Additional backends (eg: SQL)
+ can be added in the future as new subclasses of the Storage
+ module.
+
+* Added Config module, and Config::Meta that contains meta data
+ about configuration parameters.
+
+* Added RSS support from Rich Duzenbury.
+
+* Translations of new 3.0 language strings from Guillaume Filion,
+ Reginaldo Ferreira, Ralph Passgang, Lieven Bridts, Guus Houtzager,
+ Rodrigo Real.
+
+* Added optional checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post
+ UserCmd, requested by Kiko Jover, Matthias Bertschy and others.
+
+* For new installations configure.pl tries to comply with the file
+ system hierarchy standard, which means all the configuration files
+ below /etc/BackupPC and log files go below /var/log/BackupPC.
* Added Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson.
* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
-* Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in CVS 3.0.0.
-
-* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
+* Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in configure.pl in CVS 3.0.0.
-* Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
+* Old backup email warnings now ignore partials requested by Samuel Bancal
* Applied patch to bin/BackupPC_sendEmail from Marc Prewitt that
ignores any file starting with "." in the pc directory when
* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt to fix host queue order.
+* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
+
+* Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
+
+* Applied Alberto Marconi's it.pm patch.
+

BackupPC_sendEmail to fix bug reported by Dale Renton.
* Changed ping output parsing to pick out average rtt time, based
on patch from Ron Bickers.
-* Fixed minor documentation typos from Richard Ames, JP Vossen.
+* Removed leading "./" and top-level "./" directory from
+ zip archives generated by BackupPC_zipCreate. Reported
+ by Josh (hecktarzuli).
+
+* BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate now allow "@"
+ in share names. Reported by Robert Waldner.
+
+* NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES is now a fatal error for
+ smbclient transfers, suggested by Brian Shand.
* Changed bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to use /bin/csh instead of
/bin/sh. That way any errors in the pipeline are reported
via the exit status, instead of just the last.
* Added $Conf{EMailHeaders} for additional email headers, requested
- by Ludovic Gasc.
+ by Ludovic Gasc. If the Content-Type charset is set to utf8 then
+ the body of the email is sent in utf8 coding.
* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens.
+* Added some debian init.d instructions to init.d/README from
+ Bob de Wildt.

-# Version 2.1.2pl1, __RELEASEDATE__
+# Version 2.1.2pl2, 18 Jun 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* In conf/config.pl, changed --devices to -D in $Conf{RsyncArgs}
+ and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} to fix "fileListReceive failed" and
+ "Can't open .../f%2f for empty output" errors with rsync 2.6.7+.
+ Fix proposed by Justin Pessa and Vincent Ho, and confirmed by
+ Dan Niles.
