# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Added some performance improvements to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO
- for the case of small files with cached checksums.
+* Fixed code that detects duplicate shares in bin/BackupPC_dump
+
+* Added fix to lib/BackupPC/Zip/FileMember.pm to avoid bug in
+ Archive::Zip 1.30 when creating compressed archives.
+
+* Added Czech translation from Petr Pokorny.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.2.0beta1, 24 Jan 2010
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 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. Users 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.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.2.0beta0, 5 April 2009
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added BackupPC::Xfer::Protocol as a common class for each Xfer
+ method. This simplifies some of the xfer specific code.
+ Implemented by Paul Mantz.
+
+* Added FTP xfer method, implemented by Paul Mantz.
+
+* Added BackupPC::Xfer module to provide a common interface to the
+ different xfer methods. Implemented by Paul Mantz.
+
+* Moved setting of $bpc->{PoolDir} and $bpc->{CPoolDir} after the
+ config file is read in BackupPC::Lib. Fix proposed by Tim Taylor
+ and Joe Krahn, and rediscovered by several others including
+ Holger Parplies.
+
+* Create $TopDir and related data directories in BackupPC_dump
+ prior to hardlink test. Requested by Les Stott.
+
+* Fixed encoding of email subject header in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail as
+ suggested by Jean-Claude Repetto. Also changed $Conf{EMailHeaders}
+ charset to utf-8. Also changed bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send
+ any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
+
+* Modified bin/BackupPC_dump to fix the case of a single partial
+ backup followed by a successful incremental resulting in a full
+ backup of level 1, rather than level 0. Reported by Jeff
+ Kosowsky.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite to always create the parent directory.
+ This fixed a case with rsync/rsyncd where a file like "-i" in the
+ top-level directory sorts before ".", which meant the directory
+ creation is after the file creation. Also PoolWrite errors now
+ increment xferError count. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky.
+
+* BackupPC now gives a more useful error message if BackupPC_nightly
+ takes more than 24 hours (ie: when the next one is meant to
+ start). Reported by Tony Schreiner.
+
+* Fixed IO::Dirent run-time check. Reported by Bernhard Ott and Tino Schwarze
+ debugged it.
+
+* Added more options to server backup command: rather than just forcing
+ an incremental or full backup, a regular (auto) backup can be queued
+ (ie: do nothing/incr/full based on schedule), as well as doing just
+ an incremental or full or nothing based on the client schedule.
+ Based on patches submitted by Joe Digilio.
+
+* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm to replace \n with \r\n in the RSS
+ http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt.
+
+* Modified bin/BackupPC_archive to allow the archive request file
+ name to contain spaces and dashes, requested by Tim Massey.
+
+* Fix to configure.pl for --no-fhs case to initialize ConfigDir
+ from Dan Pritts. Also changed perl path to #!/usr/bin/env perl.
+
+* Modified bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to shell escape the output file
+ name. That allows it to contain spaces and other special characters.
+ Requested by Toni Van Remortel. Also updated bin/BackupPC_archiveHost
+ to shell escape and check other arguments.
+
+* Added $Conf{CmdQueueNice} to specify nice level for command queue
+ commands (eg: BackupPC_link and BackupPC_nightly). Suggested by
+ Carl Soderstrom.
+
+* Added --config-override to configure.pl, allow config settings to be
+ set on the command line. Proposed by Les Stott and Holger Parplies.
+
+* Moved call to NmbLookupFindHostCmd in BackupPC_dump to after the
+ check of whether a backup needs to be done. This makes wakeonlan
+ work correctly, rather than waking up the client every WakeupSchedule.
+ Reported by David Lasker.
+
+* Improved settings for compression and compext in BackupPC_archiveStart
+ based on compression type, as proposed by Paul Dugas. compext is now
+ empty, .gz or .bz2 based on ArchiveComp.
+
+* Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if
+ $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. Requested by John Rouillard.
+
+* Changed BackupPC_tarCreate to disable output of final nulls in
+ tar archive when -l or -L option is used. Reported by John
+ Rouillard.
+
+* Added error check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO after call to
+ BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest->digestStart(), reported by Jeff
+ Kosowsky.
+
+* Added variable substitution for host, confDir, client in
+ RsyncArgs, and also added option RsyncArgsExtra to allow
+ more easy customization of RsyncArgs on a per-client basis.
+ Proposed (with patch) by Raman Gupta.
+
+* Added Xfer error column to the host summary table in the CGI
+ interface. Based on patch submitted by Jan Kratochvíl.
+
+* Minor fix to sprintf arguments in BackupPC::Attrib, reported by
+ Jonathan Kamens.
+
+* Fixed sort compareLOGName syntax in bin/BackupPC for perl 5.10.x,
+ reported by Jeff Kosowsky and Holger Parplies.
+
+* Fixed bin/BackupPC_archiveStart to set compression correctly,
+ and also set the file extension to .gz when compression is on.
+ Reported by Stephen Vaughan.
+
+* Fixed netbios name comparison in bin/BackupPC_dump and
+ bin/BackupPC_restore to just use the first 15 characters
+ of the host name. Patch from Dan MacNeil.
+
+* Fixed nmblookup parsing in BackupPC::Lib::NetBiosInfoGet to ignore
+ entries with the <GROUP> tag. Based on patch from Dan MacNeil.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC_dump so that the XferLOG file is saved when
+ DumpPreUserCmd fails. Reported by John Rouillard.
+
+* Updated BackupPC.pod for $Conf{BackupsDisable}, reported by
+ Nils Breunese.
+
+* Added alternate freebsd-backuppc2 init.d script that is
+ more compact. Submitted by Dan Niles.
+
+* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Nicolas STRANSKY
+ applied by GFK, and also from Vincent Fleuranceau.
+
+* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/de.pm from Klaus Weidenbach.
+
+* Updates to makeDist for command-line setting of version and
+ release date from Paul Mantz.
+
+* Add output from Pre/Post commands to per-client LOG file, in addition
+ to existing output in the XferLOG file. Patch from Stuart Teasdale.
+
+* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm now increments xferErrCnt on
+ NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and ERRnoaccess errors from smbclient.
+ Reported by Jesús Martel.
+
+* Removed BackupPC_compressPool and BackupPC::Xfer::BackupPCd.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.1.0, 25 Nov 2007
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed config editor bug for case where override is unchecked on
+ an array where the current array is shorter than the main config's
+ array.
+
+* Fixed missing close quote in BackupPC_archiveHost reported by Franky
+ Van Liedekerke.
+
+* Replaced "$BinDir/.." with $bpc->InstallDir() for path to BackupPC
+ docs, mentioned by Kenneth Porter.
+
+* Moved default of $Conf{IncrLevels} from lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm
+ to lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm (after the merge of the config files). This
+ fixes a bug that caused $Conf{IncrLevels} to get over-ridden if it
+ was only defined in the main config file. Reported by John Rouillard.
+
+* Fixed the completion status message in BackupPC_dump so that missing
+ error counts appear as 0, rather than empty. Reported by Bill.
+
+* Changed lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm to only increment the error
+ count when the md4 checksum fails on the second phase, not the first.
+ Reported by Adrian Bridgett.
+
+* Updated a comment in config.pl about BackupPC_nightly, reported by
+ Dan Pritts.
+
+* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm to ensure that the list of hosts
+ presented for direct restore do have direct restore enabled. Reported
+ by Stephen Joyce.
+
+* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RestoreFile.pm to replace \n with \r\n in
+ the restore http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.1.0beta1, 21 Oct 2007
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* When there is an existing partial, a new partials is only saved
+ if it has more files than the existing partial. Requested by
+ Carl Soderstrom.
+
+* Fixed handling of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} for tar XferMethod.
+ Patch supplied by Frans Pop.
+
+* Fixed numeric column sorting in host summary table, reported by
+ Michael Pellegrino.
+
+* Fixed host CGI editor so it creates the new host's config.pl file
+ using the lower-case host name, since host names are mapped to
+ lower case when they are read from the hosts file. Reported by
+ Alexander Onic.
+
+* Applied documentation patches from Frans Pop. Also updated
+ Pod::Html to improve documentation formatting.
+
+* Added Polish translation from Semper.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC_nightly reporting of repeated pool file hashes.
+
+* Add run-time check that IO::Dirent is functioning correctly,
+ reported by Doug Lytle.
+
+* Added comment to Cmd settings in conf/config.pl that they are
+ not executed by a shell, as suggested by Erik van Linstee.
+
+* Added undefIfEmpty => 1 to lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm for
+ RsyncRestoreArgs, TarClientRestoreCmd and SmbClientRestoreCmd
+ so that restores can be disabled by clear these fields in the
+ CGI editor. Patch supplied by Stephen Joyce
+
+* Replaced the FAQ link with Wiki in the navigation bar and added
+ mention of the Wiki to the documentation. Since these navigation
+ bar links are specified in the config file, upgrades will keep
+ the old FAQ link. The FAQ opening page will have a prominent
+ link to the Wiki.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.1.0beta0, 3 Sep 2007
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 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 sorting by column feature to host summary table in CGI
- interface. Implemented by Jeremy Tietsort.
+* Added some performance improvements to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO
+ for the case of small files with cached checksums.
+
+* 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.
+* Added -l and -L options to BackupPC_tarCreate so that
+ 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.
+
* Applied small patch from Sergey to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm that makes
it ignore "socket ignored" error on incrementals.
* Applied small patch from Sergey to bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
+* Changed BackupPC_sendEmail so that summary admin email doesn't
+ include errors from hosts that have $Conf{BackupsDisable} set.
+ Reported by James Kyle. Also, per-user email is now disabled
+ when $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
+
* Added RsyncdUserName to the config editor. Reported by Vicent Roca Daniel.
+* $Conf{IncrLevels} is now defaulted if it is not defined.
+
* configure.pl clears $Conf{ParPath} if it doesn't point to a valid
executable.
-* Added freebsd-backuppc init.d script from Gabriel Rossetti.
-
* Added documentation for BackupPC_tarPCCopy, including use of -P option
to tar suggested by Daniel Berteaud.
Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem.
* Fixed bug in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm that caused
- incorrected deleted attributes to be set in directories
+ incorrectly deleted attributes to be set in directories
where one of the files had an rsync phase 1 retry during
an incremental. Reported by Tony Nelson.
processing by BackupPC_link, embedded newlines in the file's path
will cause problems which are avoided by mangling.
- The CGI script undoes the mangling, so it is invisibe to the user.

Of course, old (unmangled) backups are still supported by the CGI
interface.
