Numerous navigation improvements. + +* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the + user to quickly see which files changed between backups on a + per-directory basis. + +* Added exponential expiry option for full dumps.

This allows you, for example, to keep 4 weekly fulls, + followed by 6 fulls every 4 weeks (approx 1 month) and 2 fulls at + 16 weeks, for roughly 1 year of history. This works by deleting + every other full as each expiry boundary is crossed.

Based on patch submitted by + Lorenzo Cappelletti. + +* Disabled alarms after forks to avoid timeouts in children that + do not reset their alarm. Prompted by ideas from James Leu. + +* Added options for block size, buffer size and share wild-card to + BackupPC_tarCreate. Also added negative backup number options + that are relative to the last (so -1 is the last), suggested by + William McKee and Carl Soderstrom. + +* Add creation of per-PC directory in BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm in + case it doesn't already exist. + +* Added -q -x to all ssh commands in conf/config.pl. Suggested by + SI Reasoning and Niranjan Ghate. + +* Changed restore code so that option #1 (direct restore) can be + disabled if the restore command is undefined. Disabling direct + restore is necessary if the share is read-only. Suggested by + Rich B from SAIC. + +* Changed regexp in lib/BackupPC/Smb.pm to allow numbers with both + a decimal point or comma for international versions of Samba. + Patch submitted by Frank Gard. * Browsing and directory history now sort the files in a case-insensitive manner. +* Changed exec() syntax to allow executing commands whose path + contains spaces. + * 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. +* Fixed a bug in tar restore related to how the common prefix path is + removed. Now ensure that the common path is at a directory boundary. + Reported by Patrick Neuner. + +* Added --chuid ${USER} to init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc. Suggested by + SI Reasoning, Pascal Pochol, Michael Evanoff and others. + +* Added Suse notes to init.d/README from Bruno Vernay. + +* Added Apache 2 documentation fix from Michael Tuzi. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.2, 6 Oct 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Fixed stupid last-minute change in octal size conversion in + Backup_tarExtract. + +#----------------------------------------------------------------------- +# Version 2.0.1, 5 Oct 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Fixed handling of >= 8GB files in BackupPC_tarExtract and >= 4GB + files in BackupPC_tarCreate. + +* Removed smbclient size repair in BackupPC_tarExtract for files + between 2GB and 4GB. This means that BackupPC_tarExtract 2.0.1 + doesn't behave the same as 2.0.0 for file sizes between 2GB and 4GB + extacted using smbclient 2.2.x. If you have problems backing up + files whose size is between 2GB and 4GB using smbclient 2.2.x + you should upgrade smbclient to 3.0, since it now generates + correct file sizes. + +* Replace PingClientPath with PingPath in configure.pl. + +* Removed -T (taint mode) on binaries installed in configure.pl. + +* Added support for smbclient from samba version 3.0.0. + +* Fixed $Conf{HardLinkMax} limit check in BackupPC::Lib; reported + by Ross Skaliotis. + * 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.
