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. + +* 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 $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} + to avoid locale problems, suggested by Ludovic Drolez. + +* Changed ping output parsing to pick out average rtt time, based + on patch from Ron Bickers. + +* Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$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). + +* 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 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. + +* Added $Conf{EMailHeaders} for additional email headers, requested + by Ludovic Gasc. + +* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens. + +* 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 2.1.0pl1, 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.

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.

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.
