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.

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.
