Requires latest version of + File::RsyncP. + +* 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 is done. + +* 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. + +* In conf/config.pl, changed --devices to -D in $Conf{RsyncArgs} + and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} to fix "fileListReceive failed" and + "Can't open .../f%2f for empty output" errors with rsync 2.6.7+. + Fix proposed by Justin Pessa and Vincent Ho, and confirmed by + Dan Niles. + +* 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 Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson. + +* Fixed error reporting when restore/archive fail to write the + request file to the client directory. + +* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt for DumpPreShareCmd and DumpPostShareCmd. + +* Added checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post UserCmd, + requested by Kiko Jover, Matthias Bertschy and others. + +* Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath} + to DumpPreUserCmd etc. + +* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira. + +* 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 + it is generating warnings about old/unused files/directories. + +* 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. + +* 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. + +* Removed leading "./" and top-level "./" directory from + zip archives generated by BackupPC_zipCreate. Reported + by Josh (hecktarzuli). + +* BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate now allow "@" + in share names. Reported by Robert Waldner. + +* NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES is now a fatal error for + smbclient transfers, suggested by Brian Shand. + +* 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 $Conf{EMailHeaders} for additional email headers, requested + by Ludovic Gasc. + +* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens. + +* Added some debian init.d instructions to init.d/README from + Bob de Wildt. + +* Documentation updates from Richard Ames, JP Vossen, Torsten Finke. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.1.2pl1, __RELEASEDATE__ +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Added patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged" + message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups. + +* Fixed creation of .rsrc directories in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract + when used with xtar on MacOS. Reported by Samuel Bancal and + Matthew Radey, who helped with debugging. + +* Fixed bug in BackupPC_tarExtract for files >8GB in size whose + lengths are multiples of 256. Reported by Jamie Myers and + Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem. + +* Fixed bug in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm that caused + incorrected deleted attributes to be set in directories + where one of the files had an rsync phase 1 retry during + an incremental. Reported by Tony Nelson. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.1.2, 5 Sep 2005 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented + hardlinks being saved correctly. 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 + $Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed. + +* Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$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). + +* 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. + +* 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 2.1.1, 13 Mar 2005 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + + * Fixed bug in top-level restore using rsync XferMethod. + BackupPC::View was leaving an extra leading "/" at the start + of top-level directories, messing up the FileList sort order. + Reported and debugged by Gail Edwards. + + * Added pathCreate() to BackupPC_tarExtract so that new directories + are created. Required for xtar on MacOSX since the virtual resource + fork directories (.rsrc) are not explicitly included in the tar + archive - just the files below .rsrc are. + + * Changed $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt.* to $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt* + in $parCmd in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost. + + * Fixed HostSortCompare() in BackupPC to correctly sort hosts so + those with the oldest backups get queued first. + + * Changed test in BackupPC_sendEmail so that directories/files + starting with "." in $TopDir/pc are ignored, rather than + just "." and "..". + + * Changed BackupPC_sendEmail to include NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT + in check for bad outlook files. + + * Ensure that %Status and %StatusHost are empty if requesting + status on hosts in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm GetStatusInfo(). + Fixes problem with new hosts under mod_perl. + + * Added images/icon-hardlink.gif so that hardlinks show file type icon. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# 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. This avoids errors in certain versions + of perl. Reported by Bernd Rilling. + +* Fixed BackupPC::CGI::Lib to correctly re-load config.pl for mod_perl. + Reported by Tony Nelson and Jimmy Liang. + +* Explicitly untaint $In{host} in BackupPC::CGI::Lib to fix problem + reported by Thomas Tempé. + +* Added newline to "...skipping because of user requested delay..." + log message in BackupPC_dump.
