# Version 3.1.0, 25 Nov 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed config editor bug for case where override is unchecked on
an array where the current array is shorter than the main config's
array.
* Fixed missing close quote in BackupPC_archiveHost reported by Franky
Van Liedekerke.
* Replaced "$BinDir/.." with $bpc->InstallDir() for path to BackupPC
docs, mentioned by Kenneth Porter.
* Moved default of $Conf{IncrLevels} from lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm
to lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm (after the merge of the config files). This
fixes a bug that caused $Conf{IncrLevels} to get over-ridden if it
was only defined in the main config file. Reported by John Rouillard.
* Fixed the completion status message in BackupPC_dump so that missing
error counts appear as 0, rather than empty. Reported by Bill.
* Changed lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm to only increment the error
count when the md4 checksum fails on the second phase, not the first.
Reported by Adrian Bridgett.
* Updated a comment in config.pl about BackupPC_nightly, reported by
Dan Pritts.
* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm to ensure that the list of hosts
presented for direct restore do have direct restore enabled. Reported
by Stephen Joyce.
* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RestoreFile.pm to replace \n with \r\n in
the restore http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.1.0beta1, 21 Oct 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* When there is an existing partial, a new partials is only saved
if it has more files than the existing partial. Requested by
Carl Soderstrom.
* Fixed handling of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} for tar XferMethod.
Patch supplied by Frans Pop.
* Fixed numeric column sorting in host summary table, reported by
Michael Pellegrino.
* Fixed host CGI editor so it creates the new host's config.pl file
using the lower-case host name, since host names are mapped to
lower case when they are read from the hosts file. Reported by
Alexander Onic.
* Applied documentation patches from Frans Pop. Also updated
Pod::Html to improve documentation formatting.
* Added Polish translation from Semper.
* Fixed BackupPC_nightly reporting of repeated pool file hashes.
* Add run-time check that IO::Dirent is functioning correctly,
reported by Doug Lytle.
* Added comment to Cmd settings in conf/config.pl that they are
not executed by a shell, as suggested by Erik van Linstee.
* Added undefIfEmpty => 1 to lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm for
RsyncRestoreArgs, TarClientRestoreCmd and SmbClientRestoreCmd
so that restores can be disabled by clear these fields in the
CGI editor. Patch supplied by Stephen Joyce
* Replaced the FAQ link with Wiki in the navigation bar and added
mention of the Wiki to the documentation. Since these navigation
bar links are specified in the config file, upgrades will keep
the old FAQ link. The FAQ opening page will have a prominent
link to the Wiki.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.1.0beta0, 3 Sep 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added new script BackupPC_archiveStart that allows command-line
starting of archives. Based on script written by Sergey Kovzik,
which in turn was based on an earlier version by Holger Parplies.
* Added Simplified Chinese CGI translation from Youlin Feng,
plus fixed a couple of cases where utf8 share names were
not displayed correctly.
* Added sorting by column feature to host summary table in CGI
interface. Implemented by Jeremy Tietsort.
* Added optional support for IO::Dirent which allows inode information
to be extracted from the dirent directory structure. This allows
BackupPC to order some directory operations by inode, which on
some file systems (eg: ext3) can results in a 20-30% performance
gain. On other file systems there is no real improvement. This
optimization is turned on automatically if IO::Dirent is installed.
* Added some performance improvements to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO
for the case of small files with cached checksums.
* Added check to BackupPC at startup that $TopDir can support
hardlinks. Also added check to BackupPC_dump that a hardlink
below $TopDir/pc/HOST can be made to below $TopDir/cpool.
Also added the need for a hard-link capable file system to
the documentation. Suggested by Nils Breunese.
* Added FreeBSD init.d file provided by Gabriel Rossetti.
* Added -l and -L options to BackupPC_tarCreate so that
provide a file list (without creating the archive).
Requested by Dirk.
* Made the default charset for BackupPC_zipCreate cp1252, which
appears to work correctly with WinZip. Unfortunately there is
no clear standard for charset encoding in zip files.
* Added support so that pre-3.0 backups with non-utf8 charsets
can be viewed and restored correctly. A new config variable
$Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} specifies the charset used to
encode file names in legacy backups. This is only relevant
if you are trying to view or restore a backup made with
BackupPC 2.x and some of the file names have non-ascii
characters.
* Added setting of the environment variable BPC_REQUSER to
the requesting user name in BackupPC prior to fork(), so
each child process inherits the value. Submitted by
Holger Parplies.
* Fixed bug in rsync incrementals that happens on particular
file names when a file being backed up fails in both rsync
phases. Reported by Dan Smisko.
* Fixed single-restore file name charsets for IE, reported by
Francis Lessard.
* Fixed makeDist so that the --config-dir option to configure.pl
works correctly. Reported by Randy Barlow, Tony Shadwick and others.
* Removed ConfDir from config editor (since it is hardcoded in
lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm). Also made TopDir and LogDir only visible
if useFHS (for non-FHS they are hardcoded in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm).
* Applied patch from Holger Parplies that fixes cleanup of early abort
in BackupPC_dump.
* Applied small patch from Sergey to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm that makes
it ignore "socket ignored" error on incrementals.
* Applied small patch from Sergey to bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
* Changed BackupPC_sendEmail so that summary admin email doesn't
include errors from hosts that have $Conf{BackupsDisable} set.
Reported by James Kyle. Also, per-user email is now disabled
when $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
* Added RsyncdUserName to the config editor. Reported by Vicent Roca Daniel.
* $Conf{IncrLevels} is now defaulted if it is not defined.
* configure.pl clears $Conf{ParPath} if it doesn't point to a valid
executable.
* Added documentation for BackupPC_tarPCCopy, including use of -P option
to tar suggested by Daniel Berteaud.
* Config editor now removes white space at start of exec path.
Reported by Christoph Iwasjuta.
* CgiDateFormatMMDD == 2 gives a YYYY-MM-DD format for CGI dates,
suggested by Imre.
