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. New config paramater $Conf{Language} sets the language. + +* Added Spanish translation es.pm from Javier. + +* 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 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 internationalization (i18n) code from Xavier Nicollet. - Voila! BackupPC_Admin now supports English and French, and - adding more languages is now easy. - -* 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 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 + +* 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. Fixed similar problem reported by + Doug Lytle. + * Added "PerlTaintCheck On" to the mod_perl section in the docs, suggested by Tim Demarest.
