+
+* Support for rsync and rsyncd backup and restore. Changes to
+ BackupPC_dump, BackupPC_restore, and new modules BackupPC::Xfer::Rsync
+ and BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO.
+
+* Added internationalization (i18n) code from Xavier Nicollet,
+ with additions from Guillaume Filion. Voila! BackupPC_Admin
+ now supports English and French, and adding more languages is
+ now easy. New config paramater $Conf{Language} sets the language.
+
+* Added optional user-defined pre/post dump/restore commands, allowing
+ things like database shutdown/startup for dumps.
+
+* Changed the way hosts are found.
+
+* Added $Conf{ClientNameAlias}, which allows the name of the physical
+ client machine to be set. This allows several different backup
+ "hosts" to all refer to the same physical machine, which is
+ convenient if several different types of data need to be backed
+ up, or if different parameters are needed for different parts of
+ the host.
+
+* Replaced $Conf{PingArgs} with $Conf{PingCmd}, added $Conf{DfCmd},
+ $Conf{NmbLookupCmd} allowing all these commands to be fully
+ configured. Also, all commands can also now be fragments of
+ perl code.
+
+* Moved all smbclient commands into the config.pl file so the specific
+ arguments can be customized. New config parameters are
+ $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}, $Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd} and
+ $Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd}.
+
+* Added new BackupPC::View module that creates views of backups
+ (handling merging etc). Updated BackupPC_Admin, BackupPC_zipCreate
+ and BackupPC_tarCreate to use BackupPC::View. This removes lots
+ of merging and mangling code from the higher-level code.
+
+* Added code from Toby Johnson that allows additional users to be
+ specified in the hosts file; these users can also view/start/stop
+ and restore backups for that host. Also added a new config
+ setting $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} that allows all hosts to
+ be listed in the left nav bar for admins.
+
+* Added $Conf{HardLinkMax} (default 31999) which sets the limit on
+ the maximum number of hardlinks per file in the pool. If a file
+ ever gets to this number of links a new pool file is created to
+ handle additional links.
+
+* Added $Conf{PerlModuleLoad}, which allows optional additional perl
+ modules to be loaded.
+
+* Added $Conf{EMailUserDestDomain} and other EMail config settings to
+ allow language-specific default messages to be overridden.
+
+* Added BPC_FTYPE_DELETED to lib/BackupPC/Attrib.pm, allowing deleted
+ files to be represented in the attrib file correctly.
+
+* Added support for environment variable BPC_SMB_PASSWD, which is the
+ client's smb password. This overrides the old environment variable
+ PASSWD.
+
+* Added taint cleanup for perl5.8 to lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm.
+
+* Changed $tar_unpack_header format in BackupPC_tarExtract to correctly
+ handle files with trailing spaces.
+
+* Added catching of SIG_PIPE to BackupPC_dump, and changed catch_signal
+ to ignore multiple signals of the same type.
+
+* Added reporting of the largest number of hardlinks in the pool to the
+ log file.
+
+* Adding reporting of syntax errors in the per-PC config.pl file.
+
+* Updated BackupPC_sendEmail to handle language-specific email messages.
+
+* Allow client (host) names to contain spaces. Spaces in host names
+ need to be escaped via "\" in the hosts file. The user of spaces in
+ host names is discouraged, but they should work. One feature that
+ doesn't work with host names that contain spaces is the highlighting
+ of that name in the log file display in the CGI interface. There are
+ no plans to fix this.
+
+* Renamed $Conf{SmbClientTimeout} to $Conf{ClientTimeout}.
+
+* Fixed all open() calls to use 3 argument form to fix handling of file
+ names with trailing whitespace. Also fixed CGI interface so these
+ file names are displayed correctly.
+
+* Fixed new 2.0.0 CGI navigation bug that causes the top-level directory
+ to have a URL "&share=//boot&dir=" instead of "&share=/boot&dir=/".
+ Reported by Pascal Schelcher. Fixed similar problem reported by
+ Doug Lytle.
+
+* Added "PerlTaintCheck On" to the mod_perl section in the docs,
+ suggested by Tim Demarest.
