There have been reports of backups being + empty, perhaps when the BackupPC data file system fills up. + Now backups is not renamed to backups.old if backups is empty. + +* BackupPC now closes stderr and stdout before renaming and + re-opening the log file. + +* Pre/post backup/restore/archive commands now correctly set + "type" to either incr/full/restore/archive, and now cmdType + is the type of Pre/post backup/restore/archive command. + +* BackupPC_archive correctly terminates archive processes on + alarm or cancel. + +* Updates to BackupPC_stnd.css with absolute font sizes instead + of relative. + +* BackupPC_dump now makes sure that the $Conf{FullAgeMax} check + also ensures the full backup is older than the maximum age + expected from $Conf{FullPeriod}. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.1.0beta2pl1, 30 May 2004 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Fixed bug in rsync checksum caching code in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest. + +* BackupPC_zipCreate now ensures the earliest mtime is 1/1/1980, + since zip file formats don't support earlier dates. Reported + by Dan Niles. + +* CGI restore via zip and tar now makes sure stderr is ignored + when BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate are run. + Previously any stderr output would get mixed in the archive, + corrupting it. Reported by Dan Niles. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.1.0beta2, 23 May 2004 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} now apply + to every share, rather than just the first, in the case where + they are arrays and there are multiple shares. Suggested + by Andy Evans. + +* On the phase 2 retry pass with rsync, verify the cached checksums + if checksum caching is turned on. This will catch the case of + cached checksums being incorrectly appended to the compressed + pool file. Added new config parameter $Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb} + so that cached checksums are verified with a selectable probability. + Also, increased File::RsyncP version number to 0.51. + +* configure.pl now supports an optional batch mode. Command-line + options are used to specify all the information that configure.pl + needs. This is useful for building auto-install packages. + Also, configure.pl now includes pod documentation, so you can do + "perldoc configure.pl" to see all the command-line options. + Suggested, tested and tweaked by Stuart Herbert for possible + Gentoo inclusion. + +* At each wakeup, clients are now queued based on how old the most + recent backup is. Clients with errors are queued first, with + the oldest error times going first. The rest of the clients are + queued next, with the clients with the oldest backup going first. + Previously the clients were simply queued in alphabetic order. + Suggested by Mike Trisko and Tony Nelson. + +* Added config parameter $Conf{PartialAgeMax} that controls whether + partials are saved at all, and if so, whether the partial will be + ignored at the next full backup if it is too old. + +* BackupPC_tarExtract now allows empty archives without reporting + an error.

Suggested by Ralph Paßgang. + +* Moved the last three navigation-bar links (docs, FAQ and SF) to + a new config parameter $Conf{CgiNavBarLinks}. This allows + these links to be locally configured.

Patch submitted by + Wayne Scott. + +* Allow several BackupPC_nightly processes to run in parallel based + on new $Conf{BackupPCNightlyJobs} setting. This speeds up the + traversal of the pool, reducing the overall run time for + BackupPC_nightly. + +* Allow BackupPC_nightly to split the pool traversal across several + nightly runs. This improves the running time per night, at the expense + of a slight increase in disk storage as unused pool files might not + be deleted for a couple of days.
