# 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.
+* 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.
-* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the
- user to quickly see which files changed between backups.
+* 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.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 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.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0, 28 Jan 2007
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* BackupPC_sendEmail now correctly sends admin email if backups
+ were skipped because the disk was too full, reported by Dan
+ Pritts.
+
+* BackupPC_Admin now uses $Conf{UmaskMode}, so config.pl files
+ written by the editor have more restrictive permissions.
+ Reported by Tim Massey.
+
+* Host summary now shows active backups on disabled hosts,
+ from Jono Woodhouse.
+
+* Fixed host LOG link and LOG list order, reported by Tim Massey.
+
+* Moved Encode.pm version check to start of configure.pl so it
+ produces a useful error message if Encode.pm is too old.
+
+* Fixed hrefs to configuration documentation to handle changes
+ in the way perl generates the anchors. Reported by Philip
+ Gleghorn.
+
+* Host name links in LOG files now allow "." in the host name.
+ Reported by Jean-Michel Beuken.
+
+* Fixes to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm for tar 1.16: allow 1
+ (ie: 256) as a successful exit status and match "Total
+ bytes read" message for restores. First reported by
+ Torsten Sadowski and debugged by Ralf Gross and Holger
+ Parplies.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0beta3, 3 Dec 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Removed default paths from conf/config.pl so configure.pl will
+ determine the correct ones at install time. Avoids problem of
+ the config editor complaining about bad executable paths the
+ first time you use it.
+
+* Changed first byte of compressed files with rsync checksums appended
+ to 0xd7 to allow correct protocol_version >= 27 md4 checksums to be
+ written. Old cached checksum files have a first byte 0xd6 and are
+ now considered to be uncached. They will be automatically updated
+ as needed. This avoids the cached checksum warnings in beta2.
+
+* BackupPC_tarPCCopy now handles all file types correctly. Reported
+ by George Avrunin.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC_nightly to finish pending deletes before renaming
+ pool chains.
+
+* Fixes for rsync restore where hardlink is to file outside of the
+ top-level restore directory. Reported by George Avrunin, who helped
+ with debugging.
+
+* Fixes for checksum mismatch on restore for certain file sizes.
+ Reported by George Avrunin and others.
+
+* Fix for config.pl writing code to handle multi-line expressions.
+ Reported by David Relson and others.
+
+* Fix for CGI editor when deleting hash entries whose keys are
+ non alphanumeric. Report by David Relson and Aaron Ciarlotta.
+
+* Two fixes to configure.pl from Andreas Vögele.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0beta2, 18 Nov 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fix for final md4 digest check on rsync transfers >= 512MB when protocol
+ version >= 27 and checksums are not cached. Reported by Garith Dugmore
+ and Dale Renton.
+
+* Config Editor "Save" button is now always visible, but greyed out
+ until there are changes to save.
+
+* Config editor allows other tabs to be selected when there is an
+ error, which allows you to fix an error (eg: missing binary) in
+ an exiting config file. Errors are now displayed at the top of
+ the page in addition to next to the erroneous setting.
+
+* configure.pl checks version of Encode.pm. Reported by Chris Stone.
+
+* Several fixes to bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary from Stian Jordet.
+
+* Fixed config.pl editor writing to solve bug with multi-line text
+ strings ending in newline. Reported and root caused by Les Stott
+ and Jerry Groendyke.
+
+* Fixed error recovery case in BackupPC::PoolWrite, reported by
+ Samuel Bancal.
+
+* Fixed table width in backup browsing to avoid Firefox layout anomoly,
+ provided by Jono Woodhouse.
+
+* CSS file updates from Jono Woodhouse. Prior (v2) version is included
+ as BackupPC_stnd_orig.css in case people prefer the old skin.
+
+* More compact host summary, including disabled host indication,
+ from Jono Woodhouse.
+
+* New directory/file/hardlink and symlink image icons from Sean Cameron
+ and Jono Woodhouse, making directory browse more compact.
+
+* BackupPC.pid is now world readable, suggested by Casper Thomsen.
+
+* Reordered the Server navigation bar links, suggested by David Relson.
+
+* Fixed typos in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc, configure.pl and config.pl
+ reported by David Relson.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0beta1, 30 Jul 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed several Xfer charset conversions.
+
+* Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent
+ Fleuranceau.
+
+* Rsync transfers now correctly handle file names with \n or \r.
+
+* Host name is forced to lower case, to match 2.x.
+
+* Fixed LOG file naming in BackupPC_restore and BackupPC_archive.
+
+* GFK applied fr.pm corrections from Nicolas Stransky.
+
+* Updated init.d/src scripts for FHS (ie: replaced __TOPDIR__/log
+ with __LOGDIR__ and __TOPDIR__/conf with __CONFDIR__). Patch
+ provided by Rodrigo Real.
+
+* Added --log-dir and --conf-dir options to configure.pl.
+ Reported by Vincent Fleuranceau.
+
+* Updated File::RsyncP version check in configure.pl, reported
+ by Vincent Fleuranceau. Changed File::RsyncP version to 0.64.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 3.0.0beta0, 11 Jul 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added configuration and host CGI editor.
+
+* Added rsync hardlink support. Requires latest version of
+ File::RsyncP (0.62).
+
+* 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 can be configured. All CGI pages
+ now use the utf8 charset.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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 RSS support from Rich Duzenbury.
+
+* Translations of new 3.0 language strings from Guillaume Filion,
+ Reginaldo Ferreira, Ralph Passgang, Lieven Bridts, Guus Houtzager,
+ Rodrigo Real.
+
+* Added optional checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post
+ UserCmd, requested by Kiko Jover, Matthias Bertschy and others.
+
+* For new installations configure.pl tries to comply with the file
+ system hierarchy standard, which means all the configuration files
+ below /etc/BackupPC and log files go below /var/log/BackupPC.
+
+* Added Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson.
+
+* Fixed error reporting when restore/archive fail to write the
+ request file to the client directory.
+
+* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt for DumpPreShareCmd and DumpPostShareCmd.
+
+* Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath}
+ to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
+
+* 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
+ it is generating warnings about old/unused files/directories.
+
+* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt to fix host queue order.
+
+* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
+
+* Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Added env LC_ALL=C to $Conf{TarClientCmd} and $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd}
+ to avoid locale problems, suggested by Ludovic Drolez.
+
+* 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. If the Content-Type charset is set to utf8 then
+ the body of the email is sent in utf8 coding.
+
+* 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 2.1.2pl2, 18 Jun 2006
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 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 patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged"
+ message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups.
+
+* Fixed creation of .rsrc directories in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract
+ when used with xtar on MacOS. Reported by Samuel Bancal and
+ Matthew Radey, who helped with debugging.
+
+* Fixed bug in BackupPC_tarExtract for files >8GB in size whose
+ 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)
+ with several other people.
+
+* Fixed serious bug in bin/BackupPC_dump reported/debugged by Dan Niles
+ that can happen when multiple full backups are deleted after
+ $Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed.
+
+* Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$TopDir/conf/$host.pl"
+ is displayed if it exists. Patch from Andreas Vögele.
+
+* Applied daemonize patch to bin/BackupPC from:
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301057
+
+* It's now a fatal error if $Conf{CompressLevel} is set, but
+ Compress::Zlib is not found. Before $Conf{CompressLevel} was
+ silently set to 0, which made all the backups uncompressed.
+ That meant the user never knew if they forget to install
+ Compress::Zlib but were expecting compression to be on.
+
+* Finally increased $Conf{ClientTimeout} to 72000 (20 hours).
+
+* Added sleep 1 in restart() function in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc,
+ suggested by Jon Hood.
+
+* Added $DestDir to the path of the CGI image directory in configure.pl.
+ Patch submitted by Andreas Vögele.
+
+* Applied extensive patch to French translation from Frederic Lehobey.
+
+* Minor change to Dutch language $Lang{Pool_Stat} from Wander Winkelhorst.
+
+* Minor change to French language $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupMesg} and
+ $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupSubj} from Ludovic Gasc.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 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.
+
+ * Changed test in BackupPC_sendEmail so that directories/files
+ 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.
+
+ * Added images/icon-hardlink.gif so that hardlinks show file type icon.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0pl1, 15 Aug 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added fix to nl.pm from Lieven Bridts.
+
+* Added patch from Tony Nelson to remove $Info{pid} before BackupPC
+ writes the status and shuts down.
+
+* Changed BackupPC_nightly so that it doesn't call find() if the
+ directory doesn't exist. This avoids errors in certain versions
+ of perl. Reported by Bernd Rilling.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC::CGI::Lib to correctly re-load config.pl for mod_perl.
+ Reported by Tony Nelson and Jimmy Liang.
+
+* Explicitly untaint $In{host} in BackupPC::CGI::Lib to fix problem
+ reported by Thomas Tempé.
+
+* Added newline to "...skipping because of user requested delay..."
+ log message in BackupPC_dump. Reported by Wayne Scott.
+
+* Added read file size error checking to BackupPC_tarCreate.
+ Reported by Brandon Evans.
+
+* Added check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO to ensure that when
+ compression is toggled on/off, a compressed backup doesn't link
+ to an uncompressed pool file (and an uncompressed backup doesn't
+ link to a compressed pool file). Reported by Brandon Evans.
+
+* Updated documentation with new dirvish URL and a typo from
+ Todd Curry.
+
+* Fix to BackupPC_sendEmail so that it correctly sends admin emails
+ for hosts that have failed backups. Reported by Simon Kuhn.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0, 20 Jun 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Added Dutch translation from Lieven Bridts, with tweaks from
+ Guus Houtzager.
+
+* Added PC-specific config file read in CGI/Archive.pm. Patch
+ from Pete Wenzel.
+
+* Added non-zero exit code to BackupPC_zcat when uncompress fails.
+ Patch from Pete Wenzel.
+
+* Cosmetic changes to PC Summary and Log file language strings from
+ Pete Wenzel.
+
+* BackupPC::Lib tries to be more careful when renaming the backups
+ file to backups.old. There have been reports of backups being
+ empty, perhaps when the BackupPC data file system fills up.
+ Now backups is not renamed to backups.old if backups is empty.
+
+* BackupPC now closes stderr and stdout before renaming and
+ re-opening the log file.
+
+* Pre/post backup/restore/archive commands now correctly set
+ "type" to either incr/full/restore/archive, and now cmdType
+ is the type of Pre/post backup/restore/archive command.
+
+* BackupPC_archive correctly terminates archive processes on
+ alarm or cancel.
+
+* Updates to BackupPC_stnd.css with absolute font sizes instead
+ of relative.
+
+* BackupPC_dump now makes sure that the $Conf{FullAgeMax} check
+ also ensures the full backup is older than the maximum age
+ expected from $Conf{FullPeriod}.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0beta2pl1, 30 May 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Fixed bug in rsync checksum caching code in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest.
+
+* BackupPC_zipCreate now ensures the earliest mtime is 1/1/1980,
+ since zip file formats don't support earlier dates. Reported
+ by Dan Niles.
+
+* CGI restore via zip and tar now makes sure stderr is ignored
+ when BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate are run.
+ Previously any stderr output would get mixed in the archive,
+ corrupting it. Reported by Dan Niles.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0beta2, 23 May 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} now apply
+ to every share, rather than just the first, in the case where
+ they are arrays and there are multiple shares. Suggested
+ by Andy Evans.
+
+* On the phase 2 retry pass with rsync, verify the cached checksums
+ if checksum caching is turned on. This will catch the case of
+ cached checksums being incorrectly appended to the compressed
+ pool file. Added new config parameter $Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb}
+ so that cached checksums are verified with a selectable probability.
+ Also, increased File::RsyncP version number to 0.51.
+
+* configure.pl now supports an optional batch mode. Command-line
+ options are used to specify all the information that configure.pl
+ needs. This is useful for building auto-install packages.
+ Also, configure.pl now includes pod documentation, so you can do
+ "perldoc configure.pl" to see all the command-line options.
+ Suggested, tested and tweaked by Stuart Herbert for possible
+ Gentoo inclusion.
+
+* At each wakeup, clients are now queued based on how old the most
+ recent backup is. Clients with errors are queued first, with
+ the oldest error times going first. The rest of the clients are
+ queued next, with the clients with the oldest backup going first.
+ Previously the clients were simply queued in alphabetic order.
+ Suggested by Mike Trisko and Tony Nelson.
+
+* Added config parameter $Conf{PartialAgeMax} that controls whether
+ partials are saved at all, and if so, whether the partial will be
+ ignored at the next full backup if it is too old.
+
+* BackupPC_tarExtract now allows empty archives without reporting
+ an error. Reported by Don Silvia.
+
+* Removed Browse Backups link from Nav Bar in Archive Info display.
+ Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Fixed documentation display for regular users. Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Status and PC Summary now work for regular users and only show
+ that user's hosts. Server general status information only appears
+ for admins. Suggested by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Moved the last three navigation-bar links (docs, FAQ and SF) to
+ a new config parameter $Conf{CgiNavBarLinks}. This allows
+ these links to be locally configured. Based on a patch
+ submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Allow the navigation bar search box to be disabled by
+ setting $Conf{CgiSearchBoxEnable} to 0. Based on a patch
+ submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Updates to de.pm from Ralph Paßgang.
+
+* Made the BackupPC icon a link to the SF BackupPC project page.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.0beta1, 4 Apr 2004
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Fixed BackupPC_archiveHost to support par2 (par2cmdline).
+ Patch submitted by Jaco Bongers and adapted by Josh Marshall.
+
+* Improved stat() usage in BackupPC_nightly, plus some other cleanup,
+ giving a significant performance improvement. Patch submitted by
+ Wayne Scott.
+
+* Allow several BackupPC_nightly processes to run in parallel based
+ on new $Conf{BackupPCNightlyJobs} setting. This speeds up the
+ traversal of the pool, reducing the overall run time for
+ BackupPC_nightly.
+
+* Allow BackupPC_nightly to split the pool traversal across several
+ nightly runs. This improves the running time per night, at the expense
+ of a slight increase in disk storage as unused pool files might not
+ be deleted for a couple of days. Controller by new config setting
+ $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod}.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 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.
+
+* The "Wrong user" message in BackupPC::Lib now goes to stderr, so that
+ the user is more likely to see the error with BackupPC_tarCreate.
+ Reported by Paul Fox.
+
+* 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.
+
+* BackupPC_dump no longer removes backups if $Conf{FullKeepCnt}
+ is zero or undefined. The protects the existing backups in the
+ case of a bad config.pl file. Suggested by Christian Warden.
+
* 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 2.0.1, 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.
