# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* Added config and host CGI editor.
+* Added configuration and host CGI editor.
-* Added rsync hardlink support.
+* 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.
* Fixed error reporting when restore/archive fail to write the
* 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.
+

to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.

* 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
* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens.
+* Added some debian init.d instructions to init.d/README from
+ Bob de Wildt.
