# 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.
+* The CSS definition has been removed from the config.pl file and
+ is now a separate file, BackupPC_stnd.css. A new config variable,
+ $Conf{CgiCSSFile}, gives the name of the CSS file to use.
+ Suggested by Ender Mathias.
-* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the
- user to quickly see which files changed between backups.
+* Fixed the filling of the host name select box for admins.
+ The default $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} is now 1.
+ Reported by Doug Lytle.
+
+* Cleaned up warning message for restore using rsync when checksum
+ caching is on, but when file didn't have cached checksums.

+# Version 2.1.0beta0, 20 Mar 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* A failed full dump is now saved as a partial (incomplete) dump,
provided it includes some files. This can be used for browsing,
restoring etc, and will also form the basis of resuming full
dumps. Only one partial is kept, and it is removed as soon
- as a success full (or a new partial) is done.
+ as a successful full (or a new partial) is done.
+
+* Added support for resuming a full dump for rsync. The partial
+ full is kept, and to resume an incremental is done against the
+ partial, and a full is done for the rest.
+
+* Added support for Rsync checksum caching. Rsync checksum are
+ appended to the compressed pool files. This means that block
+ and file checksums do not need to be recomputed on the server
+ when using rsync. Requires a patch to rsync to support fixed
+ checksum seeds. This patch is included in the cygwin-rsyncd
+ release on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.
+
+* Major addition of Archive feature from Josh Marshall. Special
+ clients can be configured to be archive targets (eg: tape drives,
+ CD-R). Any subset of the backup clients can be selected and tar
+ archives are created, optionally compressed and split and written
+ to the output device. Logs are maintained and are browsable.
+
+* Major changes from Ryan Kucera to add style sheets to the CGI
+ interface, allowing easy customization. Added new icons and
+ BackupPC logo. Numerous navigation improvements.
+
+* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the
+ user to quickly see which files changed between backups on a
+ per-directory basis.
+
+* Added exponential expiry option for full dumps. This allows you
+ to specify
+
+ - how many fulls to keep at intervals of $Conf{FullPeriod}, followed by
+ - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 2 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
+ - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 4 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
+ - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 8 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
+ - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 16 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
+
+ and so on. This allows you, for example, to keep 4 weekly fulls,
+ followed by 6 fulls every 4 weeks (approx 1 month) and 2 fulls at
+ 16 weeks, for roughly 1 year of history. This works by deleting
+ every other full as each expiry boundary is crossed. Suggested
+ by David Cramblett.
+
+* Added Italian language translation it.pm from Lorenzo Cappelletti.
+
+* Major updates to language files for new features and tags changes.
+ Updated makeDist to do pedantic consistency checking of language
+ files.
+
+* Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial
+ page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded. This still
+ needs some i18n work. Currently the server start/stop is
+ commented out.
+
+* Split BackupPC_Admin into a set of modules, one for each major action.
+ Each action is now a seperate module in lib/BackupPC/CGI.
+
+* Allow the blackout period begin/end to span midnight. Adapted
+ from patch submitted by David Smith.
+
+* Allow multiple blackout periods, with new config variable
+ $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} that replaces the old variables
+ $Conf{BlackoutHourBegin}, $Conf{BlackoutHourEnd}, and
+ $Conf{BlackoutWeekDays}. Based on patch submitted by
+ Lorenzo Cappelletti.
+
+* Disabled alarms after forks to avoid timeouts in children that
+ do not reset their alarm. Prompted by ideas from James Leu.
+
+* Added options for block size, buffer size and share wild-card to
+ BackupPC_tarCreate. Also added negative backup number options
+ that are relative to the last (so -1 is the last), suggested by
+ William McKee and Carl Soderstrom.
+
+* Add creation of per-PC directory in BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm in
+ case it doesn't already exist.
+
+* Added -q -x to all ssh commands in conf/config.pl. Suggested by
+ SI Reasoning and Niranjan Ghate.
+
+* Changed restore code so that option #1 (direct restore) can be
+ disabled if the restore command is undefined. Disabling direct
+ restore is necessary if the share is read-only. Suggested by
+ Rich B from SAIC.
+
+* Changed regexp in lib/BackupPC/Smb.pm to allow numbers with both
+ a decimal point or comma for international versions of Samba.
+ Patch submitted by Frank Gard.
* Browsing and directory history now sort the files in a
case-insensitive manner.
+* Changed exec() syntax to allow executing commands whose path
+ contains spaces.
+
* 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.
+* Fixed a bug in tar restore related to how the common prefix path is
+ removed. Now ensure that the common path is at a directory boundary.
+ Reported by Patrick Neuner.
+
+* Added --chuid ${USER} to init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc. Suggested by
+ SI Reasoning, Pascal Pochol, Michael Evanoff and others.
+
+* Added Suse notes to init.d/README from Bruno Vernay.
+
+* Added Apache 2 documentation fix from Michael Tuzi.

+# Version 2.0.2, 6 Oct 2003
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed stupid last-minute change in octal size conversion in
+ Backup_tarExtract.
+
+#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.0.1, 5 Oct 2003
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed handling of >= 8GB files in BackupPC_tarExtract and >= 4GB
+ files in BackupPC_tarCreate.
+
+* Removed smbclient size repair in BackupPC_tarExtract for files
+ between 2GB and 4GB. This means that BackupPC_tarExtract 2.0.1
+ doesn't behave the same as 2.0.0 for file sizes between 2GB and 4GB
+ extacted using smbclient 2.2.x. If you have problems backing up
+ files whose size is between 2GB and 4GB using smbclient 2.2.x
+ you should upgrade smbclient to 3.0, since it now generates
+ correct file sizes.
+
+* Replace PingClientPath with PingPath in configure.pl.
+
+* Removed -T (taint mode) on binaries installed in configure.pl.
+
+* Added support for smbclient from samba version 3.0.0.
+
+* Fixed $Conf{HardLinkMax} limit check in BackupPC::Lib; reported
+ by Ross Skaliotis.
+
* In BackupPC_Admin, default REMOTE_USER to $Conf{BackupPCUser}
if it is not defined. This allows the CGI interface to work
when AdminUsers = '*'. Reported by Quentin Arce.
fatal. This is used to catch miscellaneous Xfer errors that
result in no files being backed up. A new config parameter
$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} (defaults to 1) and can be set to
- zero to turn off this check. Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
+ zero to turn off this check. Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
+ Additional change: this check only applies to a full dump.
* SMB: now detect NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on entire share or BackupFilesOnly
