# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Added config file editing.
+* Fixed several Xfer charset conversions.
-* Added rsync hardlink support.
+* Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent
+ Fleuranceau.
-* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
+* 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.
+
+* Added --log-dir and --conf-dir options to configure.pl.
+ Reported by Vincent Fleuranceau.
+
+* Updated File::RsyncP version check in configure.pl, reported
+ by Vincent Fleuranceau. Changed File::RsyncP version to 0.64.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 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 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.
* Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath}
to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
-* Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in CVS 3.0.0.
+* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
-* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
+* Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in configure.pl in CVS 3.0.0.
+
+* 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.
+
* Add NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT to pst read error check in
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.
+
+* Documentation updates from Richard Ames, JP Vossen, Torsten Finke.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-# 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.
+
* Added patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged"
message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups.
