# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Add config file editing.
-
-* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
+* Added configuration and host CGI editor.
+
+* Added rsync hardlink support. Requires latest version of
+ File::RsyncP.
+
+* 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 is done.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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 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 Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson.
* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt for DumpPreShareCmd and DumpPostShareCmd.
+* Added checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post UserCmd,
+ requested by Kiko Jover, Matthias Bertschy and others.
+
* Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath}
to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
-* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
+* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
+
+* 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.
-* Add NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT to pst read error check in
- BackupPC_sendEmail to fix bug reported by Dale Renton.
+* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
-* Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented
- hardlinks being saved correctly. Debugged by Michael (mna.news) with
- several other people.
+* Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
-* 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.
+* 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.
* 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.
* Changed ping output parsing to pick out average rtt time, based
on patch from Ron Bickers.
+* 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.
+
+* 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__
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged"
+ message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups.

+ when used with xtar on MacOS. Reported by Samuel Bancal and
+ Matthew Radey, who helped with debugging.

+ lengths are multiples of 256. Reported by Jamie Myers and
+ Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem.
+
+* Fixed bug in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm that caused
+ incorrected deleted attributes to be set in directories
+ where one of the files had an rsync phase 1 retry during
+ an incremental. Reported by Tony Nelson.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.2, 5 Sep 2005
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented
+ hardlinks being saved correctly. Debugged by Michael (mna.news)

+ that can happen when multiple full backups are deleted after
+ $Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed.
+

is displayed if it exists. Patch from Andreas Vögele.
* 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

suggested by Jon Hood.

+# Version 2.1.1, 13 Mar 2005
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ * Fixed bug in top-level restore using rsync XferMethod.
+ BackupPC::View was leaving an extra leading "/" at the start
+ of top-level directories, messing up the FileList sort order.
+ Reported and debugged by Gail Edwards.
+
+ * Added pathCreate() to BackupPC_tarExtract so that new directories
+ are created. Required for xtar on MacOSX since the virtual resource
+ fork directories (.rsrc) are not explicitly included in the tar
+ archive - just the files below .rsrc are.
+
+ * Changed $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt.* to $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt*
+ in $parCmd in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
+
+ * Fixed HostSortCompare() in BackupPC to correctly sort hosts so
+ those with the oldest backups get queued first.
+

+ starting with "." in $TopDir/pc are ignored, rather than
+ just "." and "..".
+
+ * Changed BackupPC_sendEmail to include NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT
+ in check for bad outlook files.
+
+ * Ensure that %Status and %StatusHost are empty if requesting
+ status on hosts in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm GetStatusInfo().
+ Fixes problem with new hosts under mod_perl.
