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.
