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.
+ 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.
+
+* 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_archiveHost to shell escape the output file
name. That allows it to contain spaces and other special characters.
- Requested by Toni Van Remortel.
+ 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.
+ applied by GFK, and also from Vincent Fleuranceau.
* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/de.pm from Klaus Weidenbach.
-* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm now increments xferErrCnt on NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
- and ERRnoaccess errors from smbclient. Reported by Jesús Martel.
+* 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.
