This simplifies some of the xfer specific code. + Implemented by Paul Mantz. + +* Added FTP xfer method, implemented by Paul Mantz. + +* Added BackupPC::Xfer module to provide a common interface to the + different xfer methods. Implemented by Paul Mantz. + +* Moved setting of $bpc->{PoolDir} and $bpc->{CPoolDir} after the + config file is read in BackupPC::Lib. Fix proposed by Tim Taylor + and Joe Krahn, and rediscovered by several others including + Holger Parplies. + +* Create $TopDir and related data directories in BackupPC_dump + prior to hardlink test. Requested by Les Stott. + +* Fixed encoding of email subject header in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail as + suggested by Jean-Claude Repetto. Also changed $Conf{EMailHeaders} + charset to utf-8. Also changed bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send + any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. + +* Modified bin/BackupPC_dump to fix the case of a single partial + backup followed by a successful incremental resulting in a full + backup of level 1, rather than level 0. Reported by Jeff + Kosowsky. + +* Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite to always create the parent directory. + This fixed a case with rsync/rsyncd where a file like "-i" in the + top-level directory sorts before ".", which meant the directory + creation is after the file creation. Also PoolWrite errors now + increment xferError count. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky. + +* BackupPC now gives a more useful error message if BackupPC_nightly + takes more than 24 hours (ie: when the next one is meant to + start). Reported by Tony Schreiner. + +* Added more options to server backup command: rather than just forcing + an incremental or full backup, a regular (auto) backup can be queued + (ie: do nothing/incr/full based on schedule), as well as doing just + an incremental or full or nothing based on the client schedule. + Based on patches submitted by Joe Digilio. + +* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm to replace \n with \r\n in the RSS + http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt. + +* Modified bin/BackupPC_archive to allow the archive request file + name to contain spaces and dashes, requested by Tim Massey. + +* Fix to configure.pl for --no-fhs case to initialize ConfigDir + from Dan Pritts. Also changed perl path to #!/usr/bin/env perl. + +* Modified bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to shell escape the output file + name. That allows it to contain spaces and other special characters. + Requested by Toni Van Remortel. Also updated bin/BackupPC_archiveHost + to shell escape and check other arguments. + +* Added $Conf{CmdQueueNice} to specify nice level for command queue + commands (eg: BackupPC_link and BackupPC_nightly). Suggested by + Carl Soderstrom. + +* Added --config-override to configure.pl, allow config settings to be + set on the command line. Proposed by Les Stott and Holger Parplies. + +* Moved call to NmbLookupFindHostCmd in BackupPC_dump to after the + check of whether a backup needs to be done. This makes wakeonlan + work correctly, rather than waking up the client every WakeupSchedule. + Reported by David Lasker. + +* Improved settings for compression and compext in BackupPC_archiveStart + based on compression type, as proposed by Paul Dugas. compext is now + empty, .gz or .bz2 based on ArchiveComp. + +* Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if + $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. Requested by John Rouillard. + +* Changed BackupPC_tarCreate to disable output of final nulls in + tar archive when -l or -L option is used. Reported by John + Rouillard. + +* Added error check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO after call to + BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest->digestStart(), reported by Jeff + Kosowsky. + +* Added variable substitution for host, confDir, client in + RsyncArgs, and also added option RsyncArgsExtra to allow + more easy customization of RsyncArgs on a per-client basis. + Proposed (with patch) by Raman Gupta. + +* Added Xfer error column to the host summary table in the CGI + interface. Based on patch submitted by Jan Kratochvíl. + +* Minor fix to sprintf arguments in BackupPC::Attrib, reported by + Jonathan Kamens. + +* Fixed sort compareLOGName syntax in bin/BackupPC for perl 5.10.x, + reported by Jeff Kosowsky and Holger Parplies. + +* Fixed bin/BackupPC_archiveStart to set compression correctly, + and also set the file extension to .gz when compression is on. + Reported by Stephen Vaughan. + +* Fixed netbios name comparison in bin/BackupPC_dump and + bin/BackupPC_restore to just use the first 15 characters + of the host name. Patch from Dan MacNeil. + +* Fixed nmblookup parsing in BackupPC::Lib::NetBiosInfoGet to ignore + entries with the tag. Based on patch from Dan MacNeil. + +* Fixed BackupPC_dump so that the XferLOG file is saved when + DumpPreUserCmd fails. Reported by John Rouillard. + +* Updated BackupPC.pod for $Conf{BackupsDisable}, reported by + Nils Breunese. + +* Added alternate freebsd-backuppc2 init.d script that is + more compact. Submitted by Dan Niles. + +* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Nicolas STRANSKY + applied by GFK, and also from Vincent Fleuranceau. + +* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/de.pm from Klaus Weidenbach. + +* Updates to makeDist for command-line setting of version and + release date from Paul Mantz. + +* Add output from Pre/Post commands to per-client LOG file, in addition + to existing output in the XferLOG file. Patch from Stuart Teasdale. + +* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm now increments xferErrCnt on + NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and ERRnoaccess errors from smbclient. + Reported by Jesús Martel. + +* Removed BackupPC_compressPool and BackupPC::Xfer::BackupPCd. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 3.1.0, 25 Nov 2007 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Fixed config editor bug for case where override is unchecked on + an array where the current array is shorter than the main config's + array. + +* Fixed missing close quote in BackupPC_archiveHost reported by Franky + Van Liedekerke. + +* Replaced "$BinDir/.." with $bpc->InstallDir() for path to BackupPC + docs, mentioned by Kenneth Porter. + +* Moved default of $Conf{IncrLevels} from lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm + to lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm (after the merge of the config files). 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.
