# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* When there is an existing partial, a new partials is only saved
+ if it has more files than the existing partial. Requested by
+ Carl Soderstrom.
+
+* Fixed handling of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} for tar XferMethod.
+ Patch supplied by Frans Pop.
+
+* Fixed numeric column sorting in host summary table, reported by
+ Michael Pellegrino.
+
+* Fixed host CGI editor so it creates the new host's config.pl file
+ using the lower-case host name, since host names are mapped to
+ lower case when they are read from the hosts file. Reported by
+ Alexander Onic.
+
+* Applied documentation patches from Frans Pop. Also updated
+ Pod::Html to improve documentation formatting.
+
+* Added Polish translation from Semper.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC_nightly reporting of repeated pool file hashes.
+
+* Add run-time check that IO::Dirent is functioning correctly,
+ reported by Doug Lytle.
+
+* Added comment to Cmd settings in conf/config.pl that they are
+ not executed by a shell, as suggested by Erik van Linstee.
+
+* Added undefIfEmpty => 1 to lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm for
+ RsyncRestoreArgs, TarClientRestoreCmd and SmbClientRestoreCmd
+ so that restores can be disabled by clear these fields in the
+ CGI editor. Patch supplied by Stephen Joyce
+
+* Replaced the FAQ link with Wiki in the navigation bar and added
+ mention of the Wiki to the documentation. Since these navigation
+ bar links are specified in the config file, upgrades will keep
+ the old FAQ link. The FAQ opening page will have a prominent
+ link to the Wiki.

+# Version 3.1.0beta0, 3 Sep 2007
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added new script BackupPC_archiveStart that allows command-line
+ starting of archives. Based on script written by Sergey Kovzik,
+ which in turn was based on an earlier version by Holger Parplies.
+
+* Added Simplified Chinese CGI translation from Youlin Feng,
+ plus fixed a couple of cases where utf8 share names were
+ not displayed correctly.
+
+* Added sorting by column feature to host summary table in CGI
+ interface. Implemented by Jeremy Tietsort.
+
+* Added optional support for IO::Dirent which allows inode information
+ to be extracted from the dirent directory structure. This allows
+ BackupPC to order some directory operations by inode, which on
+ some file systems (eg: ext3) can results in a 20-30% performance
+ gain. On other file systems there is no real improvement. This
+ optimization is turned on automatically if IO::Dirent is installed.
+
+* Added some performance improvements to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO
+ for the case of small files with cached checksums.
+
+* Added check to BackupPC at startup that $TopDir can support
+ hardlinks. Also added check to BackupPC_dump that a hardlink
+ below $TopDir/pc/HOST can be made to below $TopDir/cpool.
+ Also added the need for a hard-link capable file system to
+ the documentation. Suggested by Nils Breunese.
+
+* Added FreeBSD init.d file provided by Gabriel Rossetti.
+
+* Added -l and -L options to BackupPC_tarCreate so that
+ provide a file list (without creating the archive).
+ Requested by Dirk.
+
+* Made the default charset for BackupPC_zipCreate cp1252, which
+ appears to work correctly with WinZip. Unfortunately there is
+ no clear standard for charset encoding in zip files.
+
+* Added support so that pre-3.0 backups with non-utf8 charsets
+ can be viewed and restored correctly. A new config variable
+ $Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} specifies the charset used to
+ encode file names in legacy backups. This is only relevant
+ if you are trying to view or restore a backup made with
+ BackupPC 2.x and some of the file names have non-ascii
+ characters.
+
+* Added setting of the environment variable BPC_REQUSER to
+ the requesting user name in BackupPC prior to fork(), so
+ each child process inherits the value. Submitted by
+ Holger Parplies.
+
+* Fixed bug in rsync incrementals that happens on particular
+ file names when a file being backed up fails in both rsync
+ phases. Reported by Dan Smisko.
+
+* Fixed single-restore file name charsets for IE, reported by
+ Francis Lessard.
+
+* Fixed makeDist so that the --config-dir option to configure.pl
+ works correctly. Reported by Randy Barlow, Tony Shadwick and others.
+
+* Removed ConfDir from config editor (since it is hardcoded in
+ lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm). Also made TopDir and LogDir only visible
+ if useFHS (for non-FHS they are hardcoded in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm).
+
+* Applied patch from Holger Parplies that fixes cleanup of early abort
+ in BackupPC_dump.
+
+* Applied small patch from Sergey to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm that makes
+ it ignore "socket ignored" error on incrementals.
+
+* Applied small patch from Sergey to bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
+
+* Changed BackupPC_sendEmail so that summary admin email doesn't
+ include errors from hosts that have $Conf{BackupsDisable} set.
+ Reported by James Kyle. Also, per-user email is now disabled
+ when $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
+
+* Added RsyncdUserName to the config editor. Reported by Vicent Roca Daniel.
+
+* $Conf{IncrLevels} is now defaulted if it is not defined.
+
+* configure.pl clears $Conf{ParPath} if it doesn't point to a valid
+ executable.
+
+* Added documentation for BackupPC_tarPCCopy, including use of -P option
+ to tar suggested by Daniel Berteaud.
+
+* Config editor now removes white space at start of exec path.
+ Reported by Christoph Iwasjuta.
+
+* CgiDateFormatMMDD == 2 gives a YYYY-MM-DD format for CGI dates,
+ suggested by Imre.

* BackupPC_sendEmail now correctly sends admin email if backups
were skipped because the disk was too full, reported by Dan
Pritts.
