This + fixes a bug that caused $Conf{IncrLevels} to get over-ridden if it + was only defined in the main config file. Reported by John Rouillard. + +* Fixed the completion status message in BackupPC_dump so that missing + error counts appear as 0, rather than empty. Reported by Bill. + +* Changed lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm to only increment the error + count when the md4 checksum fails on the second phase, not the first. + Reported by Adrian Bridgett. + +* Updated a comment in config.pl about BackupPC_nightly, reported by + Dan Pritts. + +* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm to ensure that the list of hosts + presented for direct restore do have direct restore enabled. Reported + by Stephen Joyce. + +* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RestoreFile.pm to replace \n with \r\n in + the restore http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 3.1.0beta1, 21 Oct 2007 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* 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. + +* 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. Also updated + Pod::Html to improve documentation formatting. + +* Added Polish translation from Semper. + +* Fixed BackupPC_nightly reporting of repeated pool file hashes. + +* Add run-time check that IO::Dirent is functioning correctly, + reported by Doug Lytle. + +* Added comment to Cmd settings in conf/config.pl that they are + not executed by a shell, as suggested by Erik van Linstee. + +* Added undefIfEmpty => 1 to lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm for + RsyncRestoreArgs, TarClientRestoreCmd and SmbClientRestoreCmd + so that restores can be disabled by clear these fields in the + CGI editor. Patch supplied by Stephen Joyce + +* Replaced the FAQ link with Wiki in the navigation bar and added + mention of the Wiki to the documentation. Since these navigation + bar links are specified in the config file, upgrades will keep + the old FAQ link. The FAQ opening page will have a prominent + link to the Wiki. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# 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. @@ -37,9 +404,11 @@ * Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath} to DumpPreUserCmd etc. -* Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in CVS 3.0.0. +* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira. -* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch. +* 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 @@ -47,6 +416,12 @@ * 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. @@ -59,21 +434,41 @@ * 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. +* Removed leading "./" and top-level "./" directory from + zip archives generated by BackupPC_zipCreate.
