# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* Add config file editing.
+
+* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
+
+* Added Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson.
+
+* Fixed error reporting when restore/archive fail to write the
+ request file to the client directory.
+
+* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt for DumpPreShareCmd and DumpPostShareCmd.
+
+* Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath}
+ to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
+
+* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
+
+* Applied patch to bin/BackupPC_sendEmail from Marc Prewitt that
+ ignores any file starting with "." in the pc directory when
+ it is generating warnings about old/unused files/directories.
+
+* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt to fix host queue order.
+
+* Add NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT to pst read error check in
+ BackupPC_sendEmail to fix bug reported by Dale Renton.
+
+* Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented
+ hardlinks being saved correctly. Debugged by Michael (mna.news) with
+ several other people.
+
+* Fixed serious bug in bin/BackupPC_dump reported/debugged by Dan
+ Niles that can happen when multiple full backups are deleted after
+ $Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed.
+
+* Added fixup of $ENV{REMOTE_USER} to lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm in the
+ case of using mod_authz_ldap; patch submitted by Alain Perrier.
+
+* Added env LC_ALL=C to $Conf{TarClientCmd} and $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd}
+ to avoid locale problems, suggested by Ludovic Drolez.
+
+* Changed ping output parsing to pick out average rtt time, based
+ on patch from Ron Bickers.
+
+* Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$TopDir/conf/$host.pl"
+ is displayed if it exists. Patch from Andreas Vögele.
+
+* Applied daemonize patch to bin/BackupPC from:
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301057
+
+* It's now a fatal error if $Conf{CompressLevel} is set, but
+ Compress::Zlib is not found. Before $Conf{CompressLevel} was
+ silently set to 0, which made all the backups uncompressed.
+ That meant the user never knew if they forget to install
+ Compress::Zlib but were expecting compression to be on.
+
+* Finally increased $Conf{ClientTimeout} to 72000 (20 hours).
+
+* Fixed minor documentation typos from Richard Ames, JP Vossen.
+
+* 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 sleep 1 in restart() function in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc,
+ suggested by Jon Hood.
+
+* Added $DestDir to the path of the CGI image directory in configure.pl.
+ Patch submitted by Andreas Vögele.
+
+* Added $Conf{EMailHeaders} for additional email headers, requested
+ by Ludovic Gasc.
+
+* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens.
+
+* Applied extensive patch to French translation from Frederic Lehobey.
+
+* Minor change to Dutch language $Lang{Pool_Stat} from Wander Winkelhorst.
+
+* Minor change to French language $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupMesg} and
+ $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupSubj} from Ludovic Gasc.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0pl1, 15 Aug 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added fix to nl.pm from Lieven Bridts.
+
+* Added patch from Tony Nelson to remove $Info{pid} before BackupPC
+ writes the status and shuts down.
+
+* Changed BackupPC_nightly so that it doesn't call find() if the
+ directory doesn't exist. This avoids errors in certain versions
+ of perl. Reported by Bernd Rilling.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC::CGI::Lib to correctly re-load config.pl for mod_perl.
+ Reported by Tony Nelson and Jimmy Liang.
+
+* Explicitly untaint $In{host} in BackupPC::CGI::Lib to fix problem
+ reported by Thomas Tempé.
+
+* Added newline to "...skipping because of user requested delay..."
+ log message in BackupPC_dump. Reported by Wayne Scott.
+
+* Added read file size error checking to BackupPC_tarCreate.
+ Reported by Brandon Evans.
+
+* Added check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO to ensure that when
+ compression is toggled on/off, a compressed backup doesn't link
+ to an uncompressed pool file (and an uncompressed backup doesn't
+ link to a compressed pool file). Reported by Brandon Evans.
+
+* Updated documentation with new dirvish URL and a typo from
+ Todd Curry.
+
+* Fix to BackupPC_sendEmail so that it correctly sends admin emails
+ for hosts that have failed backups. Reported by Simon Kuhn.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0, 20 Jun 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added Dutch translation from Lieven Bridts, with tweaks from
+ Guus Houtzager.
+
+* Added PC-specific config file read in CGI/Archive.pm. Patch
+ from Pete Wenzel.
+
+* Added non-zero exit code to BackupPC_zcat when uncompress fails.
+ Patch from Pete Wenzel.
+
+* Cosmetic changes to PC Summary and Log file language strings from
+ Pete Wenzel.
+
+* BackupPC::Lib tries to be more careful when renaming the backups
+ file to backups.old. There have been reports of backups being
+ empty, perhaps when the BackupPC data file system fills up.
+ Now backups is not renamed to backups.old if backups is empty.
+
+* BackupPC now closes stderr and stdout before renaming and
+ re-opening the log file.
+
+* Pre/post backup/restore/archive commands now correctly set
+ "type" to either incr/full/restore/archive, and now cmdType
+ is the type of Pre/post backup/restore/archive command.
+
+* BackupPC_archive correctly terminates archive processes on
+ alarm or cancel.
+
+* Updates to BackupPC_stnd.css with absolute font sizes instead
+ of relative.
+
+* BackupPC_dump now makes sure that the $Conf{FullAgeMax} check
+ also ensures the full backup is older than the maximum age
+ expected from $Conf{FullPeriod}.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0beta2pl1, 30 May 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed bug in rsync checksum caching code in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest.
+
+* BackupPC_zipCreate now ensures the earliest mtime is 1/1/1980,
+ since zip file formats don't support earlier dates. Reported
+ by Dan Niles.
+
+* CGI restore via zip and tar now makes sure stderr is ignored
+ when BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate are run.
+ Previously any stderr output would get mixed in the archive,
+ corrupting it. Reported by Dan Niles.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0beta2, 23 May 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} now apply
+ to every share, rather than just the first, in the case where
+ they are arrays and there are multiple shares. Suggested
+ by Andy Evans.
+
+* On the phase 2 retry pass with rsync, verify the cached checksums
+ if checksum caching is turned on. This will catch the case of
+ cached checksums being incorrectly appended to the compressed
+ pool file. Added new config parameter $Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb}
+ so that cached checksums are verified with a selectable probability.
+ Also, increased File::RsyncP version number to 0.51.
+
+* configure.pl now supports an optional batch mode. Command-line
+ options are used to specify all the information that configure.pl
+ needs. This is useful for building auto-install packages.
+ Also, configure.pl now includes pod documentation, so you can do
+ "perldoc configure.pl" to see all the command-line options.
+ Suggested, tested and tweaked by Stuart Herbert for possible
+ Gentoo inclusion.
+
+* At each wakeup, clients are now queued based on how old the most
+ recent backup is. Clients with errors are queued first, with
+ the oldest error times going first. The rest of the clients are
+ queued next, with the clients with the oldest backup going first.
+ Previously the clients were simply queued in alphabetic order.
+ Suggested by Mike Trisko and Tony Nelson.
+
+* Added config parameter $Conf{PartialAgeMax} that controls whether
+ partials are saved at all, and if so, whether the partial will be
+ ignored at the next full backup if it is too old.
+
+* BackupPC_tarExtract now allows empty archives without reporting
+ an error. Reported by Don Silvia.
+
+* Removed Browse Backups link from Nav Bar in Archive Info display.
+ Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Fixed documentation display for regular users. Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Status and PC Summary now work for regular users and only show
+ that user's hosts. Server general status information only appears
+ for admins. Suggested by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Moved the last three navigation-bar links (docs, FAQ and SF) to
+ a new config parameter $Conf{CgiNavBarLinks}. This allows
+ these links to be locally configured. Based on a patch
+ submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Allow the navigation bar search box to be disabled by
+ setting $Conf{CgiSearchBoxEnable} to 0. Based on a patch
+ submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Updates to de.pm from Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Made the BackupPC icon a link to the SF BackupPC project page.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0beta1, 4 Apr 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* The CSS definition has been removed from the config.pl file and
+ is now a separate file, BackupPC_stnd.css. A new config variable,
+ $Conf{CgiCSSFile}, gives the name of the CSS file to use.
+ Suggested by Ender Mathias.
+
+* Fixed the filling of the host name select box for admins.
+ The default $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} is now 1.
+ Reported by Doug Lytle.
+
+* Cleaned up warning message for restore using rsync when checksum
+ caching is on, but when file didn't have cached checksums.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC_archiveHost to support par2 (par2cmdline).
+ Patch submitted by Jaco Bongers and adapted by Josh Marshall.
+
+* Improved stat() usage in BackupPC_nightly, plus some other cleanup,
+ giving a significant performance improvement. Patch submitted by
+ Wayne Scott.
+
+* Allow several BackupPC_nightly processes to run in parallel based
+ on new $Conf{BackupPCNightlyJobs} setting. This speeds up the
+ traversal of the pool, reducing the overall run time for
+ BackupPC_nightly.
+
+* Allow BackupPC_nightly to split the pool traversal across several
+ nightly runs. This improves the running time per night, at the expense
+ of a slight increase in disk storage as unused pool files might not
+ be deleted for a couple of days. Controller by new config setting
+ $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod}.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0beta0, 20 Mar 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
* A failed full dump is now saved as a partial (incomplete) dump,
provided it includes some files. This can be used for browsing,
restoring etc, and will also form the basis of resuming full
dumps. Only one partial is kept, and it is removed as soon
as a successful full (or a new partial) is done.
- (Note: still needs some work to cleanup any partial files when the
- dump is interrupted or fails).
-
* Added support for resuming a full dump for rsync. The partial
full is kept, and to resume an incremental is done against the
partial, and a full is done for the rest.
- (Note: not tested! Also needs a new File::RsyncP that I haven't
- yet released.)
-
* Added support for Rsync checksum caching. Rsync checksum are
appended to the compressed pool files. This means that block
and file checksums do not need to be recomputed on the server
- when using rsync.
+ when using rsync. Requires a patch to rsync to support fixed
+ checksum seeds. This patch is included in the cygwin-rsyncd
+ release on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.
* Major addition of Archive feature from Josh Marshall. Special
clients can be configured to be archive targets (eg: tape drives,
files.
* Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial
- page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded.
+ page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded. This still
+ needs some i18n work. Currently the server start/stop is
+ commented out.
* Split BackupPC_Admin into a set of modules, one for each major action.
Each action is now a seperate module in lib/BackupPC/CGI.
that are relative to the last (so -1 is the last), suggested by
William McKee and Carl Soderstrom.
+* The "Wrong user" message in BackupPC::Lib now goes to stderr, so that
+ the user is more likely to see the error with BackupPC_tarCreate.
+ Reported by Paul Fox.
+
* Add creation of per-PC directory in BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm in
case it doesn't already exist.
* Changed exec() syntax to allow executing commands whose path
contains spaces.
+* BackupPC_dump no longer removes backups if $Conf{FullKeepCnt}
+ is zero or undefined. The protects the existing backups in the
+ case of a bad config.pl file. Suggested by Christian Warden.
+
* Swapped the Server and Hosts sections on the Nav bar. Moved the
host search text box to the top of the hosts section. This was
done to move the variable-length part of the Nav bar (when all
projects / BackupPC.git / blobdiff
