# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* Added config and host CGI editor.
+
+* Added rsync hardlink support.
+
+* Server file names are now in utf8 and optional conversion
+ to/from client name charsets is done.
+
+* 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 CVS 3.0.0.
+
+* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
+
+* Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Fixed minor documentation typos from Richard Ames, JP Vossen.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens.
+
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Version 2.1.2pl1, __RELEASEDATE__
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 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 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.
-* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the
- user to quickly see which files changed between backups.
+* 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 2.0.2, 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.
+
+* For SMB, code that detected files with a read-locked region (eg:
+ outlook .pst files), removed them and then tried to link with an
+ earlier version was broken. This code missed a step of mangling
+ the file names. This is now fixed. Reported by Pierre Bourgin.
+
+* A backup of a share that has zero files is now considered
+ 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.
+ Additional change: this check only applies to a full dump.
+
+* SMB: now detect NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on entire share or BackupFilesOnly
+ (also ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) for older versions of
+ smbclient.) Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
+
+* SMB: now detects "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" and
+ the dump is considered failed.
+
+* Rsync: Previously BackupFilesOnly = '/' did --include '/' --exclude '/*',
+ which just included the '/' directory and nothing below. Now it
+ does just --include '/', which should include everything.
+ Reported by denon.
+
+* Add hostError to DumpPostUserCmd variable substitutions for both dump
+ and restore.
+
+* Verbose output in Lib.pm goes to STDERR, not STDOUT. This now
+ makes BackupPC_dump -v work better.
+
+* Don't allow browsing with ".." in directory in case a user tries
+ to trick BackupPC_Admin into displaying directories outside where
+ they are allowed.
+
+* Required File::RsyncP version is now 0.44, since File::RsyncP 0.44
+ fixes large file (>2GB) bugs. Large file bugs reported by Steve
+ Waltner.
