# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 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.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.0.0beta2, 11 May 2003
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added German translation, provided by Manfred Herrmann.
+
+* Fixed large-file problem with rsync, reported by Manfred Herrmann.
+
+* Fixed zip and tar file download from CGI under mod_perl. Reported
+ by Pierre Bourgin and Paul Lukins.
+
+* Fixed directory browsing and top-level directory browsing in 2.0.0beta0.
+ Reported by several users.
+
+* Added -v option to BackupPC_dump for verbose output (useful when
+ you run the command manually). Added messages for all exits.
+
+* If nmblookup returns multiple IP addresses, NetBiosHostIPFind()
+ now returns the first IP address that matches the subnet mask.
+ Suggested by Tim Demarest.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC::View so the top-level directory is handled correctly.
+ This allows the top-level share/directory to be restored via the
+ CGI interface. Reported by several users.
+
+* Fixed RsyncFileIO failures on certain large files by replacing seek()
+ with sysseek(). Reported by Manfred Herrmann.
+
+* Added configurable highlighting of PC status in the CGI summary
+ screen; submitted by Tim Demarest.
+
+* Fixed command queue CGI display; submitted by Tim Demarest.
+
+* BackupPC_trashClean now logs an error if it can't remove all the
+ trash and then goes back to sleep, rather than continually trying.
+
+* Moved correct user (uid) check into BackupPC::Lib so that all
+ applications do a user check if $Cong{BackupPCUserVerify} is
+ set. The avoids the risk of manually running BackupPC_dump as
+ the wrong user.
+
+* Loss of blackout now applies to "host not found" as well as no ping.
+ Reported by Dale Renton.
+
+* "Host not found" is now treated in a similar manner to "no ping".
+
+* Added suse-linux init.d script from Leon Letto.
+
+* Added Gentoo linux init.d script from Tim Demarest.
+
+* Applied additional i18n strings from GFK and the translation team.
+
+* Fixed option parsing so that getopts errors are reported and we exit.
+
+* Changed reporting of Xfer PIDs so that rsync cancel works correctly.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.0.0beta1, 30 Mar 2003
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added Spanish translation es.pm from Javier Gonzalez.
+
+* 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:
+ http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1853018&forum_id=503

+# Version 2.0.0beta0, 23 Feb 2003
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
* 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.
+ 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 (except smbclient) can also
- now be fragments of perl code.
+ 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 patch from Toby Johnson that allows additional users to be
+* 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.
+ 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.
