# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* Replace PingClientPath with PingPath in configure.pl.
+
+* GFK updated fr.pm from en.pm.
+
+* Various tweaks to recent changes, including additional patches
+ from Josh and Paul. Added host selection list to restore page.
+ Tweak CSS and layout.
+
+* Fixed $Conf{HardLinkMax} limit check in BackupPC::Lib; reported
+ by Ross Skaliotis.
+
+* Major changes from Ryan Kucera to add style sheets to the CGI
+ interface, allowing easy customization. Added new icons and
+ BackupPC logo. Numerous navigation improvements.
+
+* Major addition of Archive feature from Josh Marshall. Special
+ clients can be configured to be archive targets (eg: tape drives,
+ CD-R). Any subset of the backup clients can be selected and tar
+ archives are created, optionally compressed and split and written
+ to the output device. Logs are maintained and are browsable.
+
+* Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial
+ page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded.
+
+* Split BackupPC_Admin into a set of modules, one for each major action.
+ Each action is now a seperate module in lib/BackupPC/CGI.
+
+* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the
+ user to quickly see which files changed between backups.
+
+* 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 success full (or a new partial) is done.
+
+* Browsing and directory history now sort the files in a
+ case-insensitive manner.
+
+* 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
+ hosts are displayed) to the bottom.
+
+* In BackupPC_Admin, default REMOTE_USER to $Conf{BackupPCUser}
+ if it is not defined. This allows the CGI interface to work
+ when AdminUsers = '*'. Reported by Quentin Arce.
+
+* For SMB, code that detected files with a read-locked region (eg:
+ outlook .pst files), removed them and then tried to link with an
+ earlier version was broken. This code missed a step of mangling
+ the file names. This is now fixed. Reported by Pierre Bourgin.
+
+* A backup of a share that has zero files is now considered
+ fatal. This is used to catch miscellaneous Xfer errors that
+ result in no files being backed up. A new config parameter
+ $Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} (defaults to 1) and can be set to
+ zero to turn off this check. Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
+ Additional change: this check only applies to a full dump.
+
+* SMB: now detect NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on entire share or BackupFilesOnly
+ (also ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) for older versions of
+ smbclient.) Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
+
+* SMB: now detects "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" and
+ the dump is considered failed.
+
+* Rsync: Previously BackupFilesOnly = '/' did --include '/' --exclude '/*',
+ which just included the '/' directory and nothing below. Now it
+ does just --include '/', which should include everything.
+ Reported by denon.
+
+* Add hostError to DumpPostUserCmd variable substitutions for both dump
+ and restore.
+
+* Verbose output in Lib.pm goes to STDERR, not STDOUT. This now
+ makes BackupPC_dump -v work better.
+
+* Don't allow browsing with ".." in directory in case a user tries
+ to trick BackupPC_Admin into displaying directories outside where
+ they are allowed.
+
+* Required File::RsyncP version is now 0.44, since File::RsyncP 0.44
+ fixes large file (>2GB) bugs. Large file bugs reported by Steve
+ Waltner.

+# Version 2.0.0, 14 Jun 2003
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Minor tweaks to disable utf8 on utf8-capable machines (eg: RH8+).
+ Added "no utf8" to all programs, and added binmode() to relevant
+ file handles.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.0.0beta3, 1 Jun 2003
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Several improvements to restore: cancel now reports the correct
+ message and cleans up correctly.
+
+* Rsync with whitespace and wildcard excludes fixed by replacing
+ argList with argList+ in config.pl plus a fix to Lib.pm for
+ shell escaping array arguments.
+
+* Fixed rsync restore for character and block special devices
+ (major and minor device numbers weren't correctly restored).
+
+* Fixed typo in bin/BackupPC_restore (XferLOG -> RestoreLOG).
+
+* (Re)-fixed "Bad command" in log file when restore via tar or zip
+ file download is done.
+
+* Added untaint to exec in Lib.pm to avoid tainted errors.
+
+* Applied additional tweak to hilight patch from Tim Demarest.
+
+* $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '*' now allows privileged even with REMOTE_USER
+ not set.
+
+* Don't display RsyncdPasswd when displaying config.pl files.
+
+* Replace pipe with socketpair in bin/BackupPC_dump and bin/BackupPC_restore,
+ which increases typical buffering from 4K to 16K-64K. This improves the
+ performance.
+
+* Add check on $ENV{LANG} setting do configure.pl: if LANG includes utf
+ then a warning is printed.

+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
* Added German translation, provided by Manfred Herrmann.
* Fixed large-file problem with rsync, reported by Manfred Herrmann.
* Fixed CGI browse navigation bug that causes BackupPC_Admin to wedge
when directories were selected in a certain order.
+* Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite so that it can recover when the initial
+ file size is wrong. This is needed since rsync could write a file
+ whose size is different from the initial size returned in the
+ file list when that file is updated while rsync is running.
+
* Added binmode(STDIN) to BackupPC_tarExtract, suggested by Pat LoPresti
to fix a problem a RedHat8 with perl 5.8.0. It's unclear why this
helps, but it should be benign. See:
