Added new icons and + BackupPC logo. Numerous navigation improvements. + +* 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. + +* Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial + page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded. + +* 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. + +* 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. + +* Browsing and directory history now sort the files in a + case-insensitive manner. + +* 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. + +* 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. + +* 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. + + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.0, 14 Jun 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Minor tweaks to disable utf8 on utf8-capable machines (eg: RH8+). + Added "no utf8" to all programs, and added binmode() to relevant + file handles. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.0beta3, 1 Jun 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Several improvements to restore: cancel now reports the correct + message and cleans up correctly. + +* Rsync with whitespace and wildcard excludes fixed by replacing + argList with argList+ in config.pl plus a fix to Lib.pm for + shell escaping array arguments. + +* Fixed rsync restore for character and block special devices + (major and minor device numbers weren't correctly restored). + +* Fixed typo in bin/BackupPC_restore (XferLOG -> RestoreLOG). + +* (Re)-fixed "Bad command" in log file when restore via tar or zip + file download is done. + +* Added untaint to exec in Lib.pm to avoid tainted errors. + +* Applied additional tweak to hilight patch from Tim Demarest. + +* $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '*' now allows privileged even with REMOTE_USER + not set. + +* Don't display RsyncdPasswd when displaying config.pl files. + +* Replace pipe with socketpair in bin/BackupPC_dump and bin/BackupPC_restore, + which increases typical buffering from 4K to 16K-64K. This improves the + performance. + +* Add check on $ENV{LANG} setting do configure.pl: if LANG includes utf + then a warning is printed. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.0beta2, 11 May 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Added German translation, provided by Manfred Herrmann. + +* Fixed large-file problem with rsync, reported by Manfred Herrmann. + +* Fixed zip and tar file download from CGI under mod_perl. Reported + by Pierre Bourgin and Paul Lukins. + +* Fixed directory browsing and top-level directory browsing in 2.0.0beta0. + Reported by several users. + +* Added -v option to BackupPC_dump for verbose output (useful when + you run the command manually). Added messages for all exits. + +* If nmblookup returns multiple IP addresses, NetBiosHostIPFind() + now returns the first IP address that matches the subnet mask. + Suggested by Tim Demarest. + +* Fixed BackupPC::View so the top-level directory is handled correctly. + This allows the top-level share/directory to be restored via the + CGI interface. Reported by several users. + +* Fixed RsyncFileIO failures on certain large files by replacing seek() + with sysseek(). Reported by Manfred Herrmann. + +* Added configurable highlighting of PC status in the CGI summary + screen; submitted by Tim Demarest. + +* Fixed command queue CGI display; submitted by Tim Demarest. + +* BackupPC_trashClean now logs an error if it can't remove all the + trash and then goes back to sleep, rather than continually trying. + +* Moved correct user (uid) check into BackupPC::Lib so that all + applications do a user check if $Cong{BackupPCUserVerify} is + set. The avoids the risk of manually running BackupPC_dump as + the wrong user. + +* Loss of blackout now applies to "host not found" as well as no ping. + Reported by Dale Renton. + +* "Host not found" is now treated in a similar manner to "no ping". + +* Added suse-linux init.d script from Leon Letto. + +* Added Gentoo linux init.d script from Tim Demarest. + +* Applied additional i18n strings from GFK and the translation team. + +* Fixed option parsing so that getopts errors are reported and we exit. + +* Changed reporting of Xfer PIDs so that rsync cancel works correctly. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.0beta1, 30 Mar 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Added Spanish translation es.pm from Javier Gonzalez. + +* Fixed CGI browse navigation bug that causes BackupPC_Admin to wedge + when directories were selected in a certain order. + +* Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite so that it can recover when the initial + file size is wrong. This is needed since rsync could write a file + whose size is different from the initial size returned in the + file list when that file is updated while rsync is running. + +* 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 + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.0beta0, 23 Feb 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + * Support for rsync and rsyncd backup and restore. Changes to BackupPC_dump, BackupPC_restore, and new modules BackupPC::Xfer::Rsync and BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO.
