#========================================================================
#
# ChangeLog - change log for BackupPC.
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Revision history for BackupPC, detailing significant changes between
# versions, most recent first.
#
# AUTHOR
# Craig Barratt <[email protected]>
#
#========================================================================
#
# Version __VERSION__, released __RELEASEDATE__.
#
# See http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.
#
#========================================================================
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Initial rewrite of lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Ftp.pm for 4.x, but not yet working.
* Added more helpful text (instead of "New Key") for BackupFilesOnly and
BackupFilesExclude in the CGI editor.
* Updated Spanish language file lib/BackupPC/Lang/es.pm from Luis Bustamante.
* Added =encoding ISO8859-1 to top of BackupPC.pod; from Alexander Moisseev.
* Fixed minor typos in several language files; from Alexander Moisseev.
* Applied a couple of patches to bin/BackupPC_rrdUpdate from Alexander
Moisseev.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.0.0alpha3, 1 Dec 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added rrdtool support, based on code from Alexander Moisseev.
* Fixed BackupPC_attribPrint to auto-detect the compression status of the
attrib file. Reported by Chris Adamson.
* Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract for case where no subdirectories are in
the archive, which caused the top-level attrib file to not be written.
Reported by Alexander Moisseev.
* Added recovery/cleanup to bin/BackupPC_dump in case last V4 backup is
not filled.
* Tweaked RmTreeQuietInner() in lib/BackupPC/DirOps.pm to improve error
messages, and continue on error.
* When FHS is enabled, moved BackupPC.pid and BackupPC.sock files to
/var/run/BackupPC (or $Conf{RunDir}), and the documentation to
$InstallDir/share/doc/BackupPC.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.0.0alpha2, 15 Sep 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added SCGI support, allowing the Apache to run as any user, with requests
handled by BackupPC_Admin_SCGI, which is run by the BackupPC server. This
provides an alternative to running Apache as the BackupPC user, or needing
to use a setuid BackupPC_Admin script.
* Parallelized bin/BackupPC_refCountUpdate, so that $Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs}
instances run.
* Fixed pool size counting.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.0.0alpha1, 30 Jun 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* A few minor bug fixes.
* Some improvements to bin/BackupPC_fsck
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.0.0alpha0, 23 Jun 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Major changes.
* Updated init.d/debian-backuppc from Eduardo Díaz Rodríguez.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.3.0, 14 Apr 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Changed restore file name from restore.{zip|tar} to restore_$host_YYYY-MM-DD.{zip|tar},
where the date is the start date of the backup. Originally suggested by Brad Alexander,
with a healthy debate among Les, Holger, Jeffrey, Adam, Carl and others.
* Changed the timeStamp2 function in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that times more than 330
days ago also include the year. More recent times continue to use just the day of month
and month.
* Made the directory path display (when browsing backups or history) a sequence of links,
allowing any parent directory to be quickly selected.
* Added Japanese language file lib/BackupPC/Lang/ja.pm submitted by Rikiya
Yamamoto.
* Added Ukrainian language file lib/BackupPC/Lang/uk.pm submitted by Serhiy Yakimchuck.
* Added Russian language file lib/BackupPC/Lang/ru.pm submitted by Sergei Butakov.
* Patch from Alexander Moisseev that fixed file name encodings in zip files.
The default charset is now utf8. Added a menu option to override the codepage.
* Removed -N option from smbclient command in conf/config.pl to remain compatible
with more recent versions (3.2.3 and later) of smbclient. Reported and discussed
by various people on the mail list, most recently by Jeff Boyce, Les Mikesell and
Holger Parplies. Alexander Moisseev also submitted a patch.
Using smbclient >= 3.2.3 with the -N option will give a "tree connect failed:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED" error.
* Reapplied a patch from Tyler Wagner for lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pl so that
empty email status info doesn't appear. Somehow this missed 3.2.1.
* Fixed check on $parfile in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost since it is numeric.
Fix submitted by Tim Massey.
* Ensure $num is numeric in lib/BackupPC/CGI/View.pm error message
to avoid XSS attack. Report and patch by Jamie Strandboge.
* Ensure $num and $share in lib/BackupPC/CGI/RestoreFile.pm error messages
are escaped, to avoid XSS vulnerability. Report and patch by Jamie Strandboge.
Also added some additional error checking and tweaked the handling of the
invalid number error message.
* Fixed qw(...) deprecated syntax warnings in lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm
and lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm. Patch supplied by Juergen Harms. Also got a
patch from Alexander Moisseev and report from Richard Shaw.
* Fixed error in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail that caused accumulation of
per-host errors in the admin email to be skipped if a host's user
is not defined. Reported by Marco Dalla Via.
* Fixed lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm so that the base_url is correct for https.
Report and fix by Samuel Monsarrat.
* Added more careful checking that IO::Dirent returns valid inodes and file types.
Suggested by Daniel Harvey.
* Removed redundant setting of $Lang{CfgEdit_Title_Other} from all the Lang files.
* Applied couple of fixes to Lib.pm suggested by Jeffrey Kosowsky for special case of where
configuration commands are fragments of perl code.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.1, 24 Apr 2011
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ensure $num is numeric in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Browse.pm to avoid XSS
attack. Report and patch by Adam E.
* Fixed application of "*" in $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and
$Conf{BackupFilesExclud} for 2nd and later shares. Reported
by Alessandro and Alexander Maringer.
* Fixed email status check in lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pl so that
empty email info doesn't appear; reported by Wayne Trevena,
and based on patch from Tyler Wagner.
* Several fixes to FTP xfer mode related to file excludes, from
Dave Pearce.
* Wrapped eval() around unpack() in lib/BackupPC/Attrib.pm to avoid
failures on corrupted attrib files; patch from Tim Connors.
* Applied documention patch from Alexander Moisseev.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.0, 31 Jul 2010
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed code that detects duplicate shares in bin/BackupPC_dump
* Added fix to lib/BackupPC/Zip/FileMember.pm to avoid bug in
Archive::Zip 1.30 when creating compressed archives.
* Added Czech translation from Petr Pokorny.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.0beta1, 24 Jan 2010
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed FTP xfer method, with help from Holger Parplies and
Mirco Piccin. FTP restores are still not supported.
* Fixed bug in BackupPC_sendEmail where a user only receives
email about one host.
* Fixed bug where top-level attrib file was linked into the pool with
the wrong digest, caused by it being updated multiple times with
multiple shares. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky who also supplied a
patch.
* Fixed bug in blackout calculation when multiple periods span midnight.
Report and patch from Joachim Falk.
* Wrapped eval {} around attribute unpacking to make it more robust
to data corruption. Path submitted by Tim Connors.
* Ignore fileType 8 and 9 in BackupPC_tarCreate rather than consider then
errors. These are sockets and unknown (eg: solaris door) files that
are created dynamicaly by applications - there is no meaningful restore
for these file types.
* Changed lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm and lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm based on
patches from Davide Brini and Holger Parplies so that main config
%Conf values are available in the host config file, allowing more
flexibility in perl expressions in the config files. Users beware,
since the CGI editor won't work correctly if the config file have
perl expressions.
* Obscure password values in LOG file when CGI editor is used to change
values. Proposed by Steve Ling.
* Added favicon.ico from Axel Beckert. Thanks to Tyler Wagner for submitting
another version and reminding me about the first.
* Replace "sort(HostSortCompare keys(%$Hosts))" with "sort HostSortCompare keys(%$Hosts)"
in bin/BackupPC to avoid an error with certain versions of perl.
* Fixed $Conf{XX} links in the BackupPC.html and the CGI editor so they
correctly reference the definition.
* Support ${VAR} style variable substitution in commands, in addition to
existing $VAR style. Suggested by Jeffrey Kosowsky.
* Clarified usage of -b and -w options to BackupPC_tarCreate. Submitted by
Michael Selway.
* Repaired Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server Lang string and added new
string Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server_error_message. Proposed and
explained by Holger Parplies.
* Added 'use utf8' to lib/BackupPC/Lang/pl.pm. Reported by Michal Sawicz.
* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Hubert Tournier.
* Minor update to lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm from David Relson.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.0beta0, 5 April 2009
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added BackupPC::Xfer::Protocol as a common class for each Xfer
method. This simplifies some of the xfer specific code.
Implemented by Paul Mantz.
* Added FTP xfer method, implemented by Paul Mantz.
* Added BackupPC::Xfer module to provide a common interface to the
different xfer methods. Implemented by Paul Mantz.
* Moved setting of $bpc->{PoolDir} and $bpc->{CPoolDir} after the
config file is read in BackupPC::Lib. Fix proposed by Tim Taylor
and Joe Krahn, and rediscovered by several others including
Holger Parplies.
* Create $TopDir and related data directories in BackupPC_dump
prior to hardlink test. Requested by Les Stott.
* Fixed encoding of email subject header in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail as
suggested by Jean-Claude Repetto. Also changed $Conf{EMailHeaders}
charset to utf-8. Also changed bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send
any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
* Modified bin/BackupPC_dump to fix the case of a single partial
backup followed by a successful incremental resulting in a full
backup of level 1, rather than level 0. Reported by Jeff
Kosowsky.
* Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite to always create the parent directory.
This fixed a case with rsync/rsyncd where a file like "-i" in the
top-level directory sorts before ".", which meant the directory
creation is after the file creation. Also PoolWrite errors now
increment xferError count. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky.
* BackupPC now gives a more useful error message if BackupPC_nightly
takes more than 24 hours (ie: when the next one is meant to
start). Reported by Tony Schreiner.
* Fixed IO::Dirent run-time check. Reported by Bernhard Ott and Tino Schwarze
debugged it.
* Added more options to server backup command: rather than just forcing
an incremental or full backup, a regular (auto) backup can be queued
(ie: do nothing/incr/full based on schedule), as well as doing just
an incremental or full or nothing based on the client schedule.
Based on patches submitted by Joe Digilio.
* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm to replace \n with \r\n in the RSS
http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt.
* Modified bin/BackupPC_archive to allow the archive request file
name to contain spaces and dashes, requested by Tim Massey.
* Fix to configure.pl for --no-fhs case to initialize ConfigDir
from Dan Pritts. Also changed perl path to #!/usr/bin/env perl.
* Modified bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to shell escape the output file
name. That allows it to contain spaces and other special characters.
Requested by Toni Van Remortel. Also updated bin/BackupPC_archiveHost
to shell escape and check other arguments.
* Added $Conf{CmdQueueNice} to specify nice level for command queue
commands (eg: BackupPC_link and BackupPC_nightly). Suggested by
Carl Soderstrom.
* Added --config-override to configure.pl, allow config settings to be
set on the command line. Proposed by Les Stott and Holger Parplies.
* Moved call to NmbLookupFindHostCmd in BackupPC_dump to after the
check of whether a backup needs to be done. This makes wakeonlan
work correctly, rather than waking up the client every WakeupSchedule.
Reported by David Lasker.
* Improved settings for compression and compext in BackupPC_archiveStart
based on compression type, as proposed by Paul Dugas. compext is now
empty, .gz or .bz2 based on ArchiveComp.
* Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if
$Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. Requested by John Rouillard.
* Changed BackupPC_tarCreate to disable output of final nulls in
tar archive when -l or -L option is used. Reported by John
Rouillard.
* Added error check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO after call to
BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest->digestStart(), reported by Jeff
Kosowsky.
* Added variable substitution for host, confDir, client in
RsyncArgs, and also added option RsyncArgsExtra to allow
more easy customization of RsyncArgs on a per-client basis.
Proposed (with patch) by Raman Gupta.
* Added Xfer error column to the host summary table in the CGI
interface. Based on patch submitted by Jan Kratochvíl.
* Minor fix to sprintf arguments in BackupPC::Attrib, reported by
Jonathan Kamens.
* Fixed sort compareLOGName syntax in bin/BackupPC for perl 5.10.x,
reported by Jeff Kosowsky and Holger Parplies.
* Fixed bin/BackupPC_archiveStart to set compression correctly,
and also set the file extension to .gz when compression is on.
Reported by Stephen Vaughan.
* Fixed netbios name comparison in bin/BackupPC_dump and
bin/BackupPC_restore to just use the first 15 characters
of the host name. Patch from Dan MacNeil.
* Fixed nmblookup parsing in BackupPC::Lib::NetBiosInfoGet to ignore
entries with the <GROUP> tag. Based on patch from Dan MacNeil.
* Fixed BackupPC_dump so that the XferLOG file is saved when
DumpPreUserCmd fails. Reported by John Rouillard.
* Updated BackupPC.pod for $Conf{BackupsDisable}, reported by
Nils Breunese.
* Added alternate freebsd-backuppc2 init.d script that is
more compact. Submitted by Dan Niles.
* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Nicolas STRANSKY
applied by GFK, and also from Vincent Fleuranceau.
* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/de.pm from Klaus Weidenbach.
* Updates to makeDist for command-line setting of version and
release date from Paul Mantz.
* Add output from Pre/Post commands to per-client LOG file, in addition
to existing output in the XferLOG file. Patch from Stuart Teasdale.
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm now increments xferErrCnt on
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and ERRnoaccess errors from smbclient.
Reported by Jesús Martel.
* Removed BackupPC_compressPool and BackupPC::Xfer::BackupPCd.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.1.0, 25 Nov 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed config editor bug for case where override is unchecked on
an array where the current array is shorter than the main config's
array.
* Fixed missing close quote in BackupPC_archiveHost reported by Franky
Van Liedekerke.
* Replaced "$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.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0, 28 Jan 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* BackupPC_sendEmail now correctly sends admin email if backups
were skipped because the disk was too full, reported by Dan
Pritts.
* BackupPC_Admin now uses $Conf{UmaskMode}, so config.pl files
written by the editor have more restrictive permissions.
Reported by Tim Massey.
* Host summary now shows active backups on disabled hosts,
from Jono Woodhouse.
* Fixed host LOG link and LOG list order, reported by Tim Massey.
* Moved Encode.pm version check to start of configure.pl so it
produces a useful error message if Encode.pm is too old.
* Fixed hrefs to configuration documentation to handle changes
in the way perl generates the anchors. Reported by Philip
Gleghorn.
* Host name links in LOG files now allow "." in the host name.
Reported by Jean-Michel Beuken.
* Fixes to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm for tar 1.16: allow 1
(ie: 256) as a successful exit status and match "Total
bytes read" message for restores. First reported by
Torsten Sadowski and debugged by Ralf Gross and Holger
Parplies.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta3, 3 Dec 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Removed default paths from conf/config.pl so configure.pl will
determine the correct ones at install time. Avoids problem of
the config editor complaining about bad executable paths the
first time you use it.
* Changed first byte of compressed files with rsync checksums appended
to 0xd7 to allow correct protocol_version >= 27 md4 checksums to be
written. Old cached checksum files have a first byte 0xd6 and are
now considered to be uncached. They will be automatically updated
as needed. This avoids the cached checksum warnings in beta2.
* BackupPC_tarPCCopy now handles all file types correctly. Reported
by George Avrunin.
* Fixed BackupPC_nightly to finish pending deletes before renaming
pool chains.
* Fixes for rsync restore where hardlink is to file outside of the
top-level restore directory. Reported by George Avrunin, who helped
with debugging.
* Fixes for checksum mismatch on restore for certain file sizes.
Reported by George Avrunin and others.
* Fix for config.pl writing code to handle multi-line expressions.
Reported by David Relson and others.
* Fix for CGI editor when deleting hash entries whose keys are
non alphanumeric. Report by David Relson and Aaron Ciarlotta.
* Two fixes to configure.pl from Andreas Vögele.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta2, 18 Nov 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fix for final md4 digest check on rsync transfers >= 512MB when protocol
version >= 27 and checksums are not cached. Reported by Garith Dugmore
and Dale Renton.
* Config Editor "Save" button is now always visible, but greyed out
until there are changes to save.
* Config editor allows other tabs to be selected when there is an
error, which allows you to fix an error (eg: missing binary) in
an exiting config file. Errors are now displayed at the top of
the page in addition to next to the erroneous setting.
* configure.pl checks version of Encode.pm. Reported by Chris Stone.
* Several fixes to bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary from Stian Jordet.
* Fixed config.pl editor writing to solve bug with multi-line text
strings ending in newline. Reported and root caused by Les Stott
and Jerry Groendyke.
* Fixed error recovery case in BackupPC::PoolWrite, reported by
Samuel Bancal.
* Fixed table width in backup browsing to avoid Firefox layout anomoly,
provided by Jono Woodhouse.
* CSS file updates from Jono Woodhouse. Prior (v2) version is included
as BackupPC_stnd_orig.css in case people prefer the old skin.
* More compact host summary, including disabled host indication,
from Jono Woodhouse.
* New directory/file/hardlink and symlink image icons from Sean Cameron
and Jono Woodhouse, making directory browse more compact.
* BackupPC.pid is now world readable, suggested by Casper Thomsen.
* Reordered the Server navigation bar links, suggested by David Relson.
* Fixed typos in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc, configure.pl and config.pl
reported by David Relson.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta1, 30 Jul 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed several Xfer charset conversions.
* Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent
Fleuranceau.
* Rsync transfers now correctly handle file names with \n or \r.
* Host name is forced to lower case, to match 2.x.
* Fixed LOG file naming in BackupPC_restore and BackupPC_archive.
* GFK applied fr.pm corrections from Nicolas Stransky.
* Updated init.d/src scripts for FHS (ie: replaced __TOPDIR__/log
with __LOGDIR__ and __TOPDIR__/conf with __CONFDIR__). Patch
provided by Rodrigo Real.
* Added --log-dir and --conf-dir options to configure.pl.
Reported by Vincent Fleuranceau.
* Updated File::RsyncP version check in configure.pl, reported
by Vincent Fleuranceau. Changed File::RsyncP version to 0.64.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta0, 11 Jul 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added configuration and host CGI editor.
* Added rsync hardlink support. Requires latest version of
File::RsyncP (0.62).
* Decoupled BackupPC_dump from BackupPC_nightly by making
asynchronous file linking/delete robust to race conditions.
Now only BackupPC_nightly and BackupPC_link are mutually
exclusive so only one runs at a time, and BackupPC_dump and
BackupPC_restore can run anytime.
* Added support for multi-level incrementals. In the style of dump(1),
the level of each incremental can be specified. Each incremental
backups up everything since the most recent backup of a lower level
(fulls are always level 0). Previous behavior was all incrementals
were level 1, meaning they backed up everything since the last full
(level 0). Default configuration is all incrementals are level 1.
* Server file names are now in utf8 and optional conversion
to/from client name charsets can be configured. All CGI pages
now use the utf8 charset.
* Backup metadata is now additionally saved to pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo,
in addition to pc/HOST/backups. In case pc/HOST/backups gets trashed,
then a new script BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary can read the per-backup
metadata from pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo and reconstruct the backups file.
Roberto Moreno also pointed out an early error in the CVS version.
* Added Storage module and Storage::Text which localizes all the
text data file reading/writing (eg: backups, restores, archives
and config.pl files). Added read verify after all write
operations for robustness. Additional backends (eg: SQL)
can be added in the future as new subclasses of the Storage
module.
* Added Config module, and Config::Meta that contains meta data
about configuration parameters.
* Added RSS support from Rich Duzenbury.
* Translations of new 3.0 language strings from Guillaume Filion,
Reginaldo Ferreira, Ralph Passgang, Lieven Bridts, Guus Houtzager,
Rodrigo Real.
* Added optional checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post
UserCmd, requested by Kiko Jover, Matthias Bertschy and others.
* For new installations configure.pl tries to comply with the file
system hierarchy standard, which means all the configuration files
below /etc/BackupPC and log files go below /var/log/BackupPC.
* Added Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson.
* Fixed error reporting when restore/archive fail to write the
request file to the client directory.
* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt for DumpPreShareCmd and DumpPostShareCmd.
* Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath}
to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
* Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in configure.pl in CVS 3.0.0.
* Old backup email warnings now ignore partials requested by Samuel Bancal
* Applied patch to bin/BackupPC_sendEmail from Marc Prewitt that
ignores any file starting with "." in the pc directory when
it is generating warnings about old/unused files/directories.
* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt to fix host queue order.
* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
* Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
* Applied Alberto Marconi's it.pm patch.
* Add NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT to pst read error check in
BackupPC_sendEmail to fix bug reported by Dale Renton.
* Added fixup of $ENV{REMOTE_USER} to lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm in the
case of using mod_authz_ldap; patch submitted by Alain Perrier.
* Added env LC_ALL=C to $Conf{TarClientCmd} and $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd}
to avoid locale problems, suggested by Ludovic Drolez.
* Changed ping output parsing to pick out average rtt time, based
on patch from Ron Bickers.
* Removed leading "./" and top-level "./" directory from
zip archives generated by BackupPC_zipCreate. Reported
by Josh (hecktarzuli).
* BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate now allow "@"
in share names. Reported by Robert Waldner.
* NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES is now a fatal error for
smbclient transfers, suggested by Brian Shand.
* Changed bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to use /bin/csh instead of
/bin/sh. That way any errors in the pipeline are reported
via the exit status, instead of just the last.
* Added $Conf{EMailHeaders} for additional email headers, requested
by Ludovic Gasc. If the Content-Type charset is set to utf8 then
the body of the email is sent in utf8 coding.
* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens.
* Added some debian init.d instructions to init.d/README from
Bob de Wildt.
* Documentation updates from Richard Ames, JP Vossen, Torsten Finke.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.2pl2, 18 Jun 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* In conf/config.pl, changed --devices to -D in $Conf{RsyncArgs}
and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} to fix "fileListReceive failed" and
"Can't open .../f%2f for empty output" errors with rsync 2.6.7+.
Fix proposed by Justin Pessa and Vincent Ho, and confirmed by
Dan Niles.
* Added patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged"
message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups.
* Fixed creation of .rsrc directories in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract
when used with xtar on MacOS. Reported by Samuel Bancal and
Matthew Radey, who helped with debugging.
* Fixed bug in BackupPC_tarExtract for files >8GB in size whose
lengths are multiples of 256. Reported by Jamie Myers and
Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem.
* Fixed bug in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm that caused
incorrectly deleted attributes to be set in directories
where one of the files had an rsync phase 1 retry during
an incremental. Reported by Tony Nelson.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.2, 5 Sep 2005
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented
hardlinks being saved correctly. Debugged by Michael (mna.news)
with several other people.
* Fixed serious bug in bin/BackupPC_dump reported/debugged by Dan Niles
that can happen when multiple full backups are deleted after
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed.
* Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$TopDir/conf/$host.pl"
is displayed if it exists. Patch from Andreas Vögele.
* Applied daemonize patch to bin/BackupPC from:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301057
* It's now a fatal error if $Conf{CompressLevel} is set, but
Compress::Zlib is not found. Before $Conf{CompressLevel} was
silently set to 0, which made all the backups uncompressed.
That meant the user never knew if they forget to install
Compress::Zlib but were expecting compression to be on.
* Finally increased $Conf{ClientTimeout} to 72000 (20 hours).
* Added sleep 1 in restart() function in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc,
suggested by Jon Hood.
* Added $DestDir to the path of the CGI image directory in configure.pl.
Patch submitted by Andreas Vögele.
* Applied extensive patch to French translation from Frederic Lehobey.
* Minor change to Dutch language $Lang{Pool_Stat} from Wander Winkelhorst.
* Minor change to French language $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupMesg} and
$Lang{EMailOutlookBackupSubj} from Ludovic Gasc.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.1, 13 Mar 2005
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed bug in top-level restore using rsync XferMethod.
BackupPC::View was leaving an extra leading "/" at the start
of top-level directories, messing up the FileList sort order.
Reported and debugged by Gail Edwards.
* Added pathCreate() to BackupPC_tarExtract so that new directories
are created. Required for xtar on MacOSX since the virtual resource
fork directories (.rsrc) are not explicitly included in the tar
archive - just the files below .rsrc are.
* Changed $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt.* to $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt*
in $parCmd in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
* Fixed HostSortCompare() in BackupPC to correctly sort hosts so
those with the oldest backups get queued first.
* Changed test in BackupPC_sendEmail so that directories/files
starting with "." in $TopDir/pc are ignored, rather than
just "." and "..".
* Changed BackupPC_sendEmail to include NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT
in check for bad outlook files.
* Ensure that %Status and %StatusHost are empty if requesting
status on hosts in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm GetStatusInfo().
Fixes problem with new hosts under mod_perl.
* Added images/icon-hardlink.gif so that hardlinks show file type icon.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0pl1, 15 Aug 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added fix to nl.pm from Lieven Bridts.
* Added patch from Tony Nelson to remove $Info{pid} before BackupPC
writes the status and shuts down.
* Changed BackupPC_nightly so that it doesn't call find() if the
directory doesn't exist. This avoids errors in certain versions
of perl. Reported by Bernd Rilling.
* Fixed BackupPC::CGI::Lib to correctly re-load config.pl for mod_perl.
Reported by Tony Nelson and Jimmy Liang.
* Explicitly untaint $In{host} in BackupPC::CGI::Lib to fix problem
reported by Thomas Tempé.
* Added newline to "...skipping because of user requested delay..."
log message in BackupPC_dump. Reported by Wayne Scott.
* Added read file size error checking to BackupPC_tarCreate.
Reported by Brandon Evans.
* Added check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO to ensure that when
compression is toggled on/off, a compressed backup doesn't link
to an uncompressed pool file (and an uncompressed backup doesn't
link to a compressed pool file). Reported by Brandon Evans.
* Updated documentation with new dirvish URL and a typo from
Todd Curry.
* Fix to BackupPC_sendEmail so that it correctly sends admin emails
for hosts that have failed backups. Reported by Simon Kuhn.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0, 20 Jun 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added Dutch translation from Lieven Bridts, with tweaks from
Guus Houtzager.
* Added PC-specific config file read in CGI/Archive.pm. Patch
from Pete Wenzel.
* Added non-zero exit code to BackupPC_zcat when uncompress fails.
Patch from Pete Wenzel.
* Cosmetic changes to PC Summary and Log file language strings from
Pete Wenzel.
* BackupPC::Lib tries to be more careful when renaming the backups
file to backups.old. There have been reports of backups being
