# Version 4.3.1, 14 Jul 2019
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull request #240.
* Fixed CGI host summary columns for new Comment value; reported by
@karlis-irmejs (#245).
* Added support to BackupPC_tarCreate for PAX headers to allow large
metadata values to be correctly encoded; reported by @seblu (#254).
* Fixed regexp in BackupPC so that versions like rsync-bpc 3.1.2beta0
are matched. PR submitted by Adrien Ferrand (#240).
* Added more details to error messages when failing to connect to
BackupPC server; reported by @dmak (#261).
* bin/BackupPC Main_Initialize() checks if a BackupPC server is running
by trying to connect to it, in addition to existing check that PID
exists; reported by @toggoboge (#264).
* Fixed utf8 encoded share names in deletion of orphan RsyncShareNames,
reported by @Yann79 (#266).
* Fixed %Conf passing to perl code version of $bpc->cmdSystemOrEval;
reported by Jeff Kosowsky.
* BackupPC_backupDelete removes files with BPC_FTYPE_DELETED from filled
merged backup; reported by Jeff Kosowsky.
* added Data::Dumper SortKeys(1) to lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm so that
config hash writes have repeatable order; suggested by @kr4ut (#275).
* bin/BackupPC_archive: use $bpc->openPCLogFile() instead of manual LOG
file rotation
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/Archive.pm: create client directory if it doesn't
exist
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.3.0, 25 Nov 2018
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull requests #200, #208, #216, #217, #229, #230, #231, #232,
#233, #235.
* Added checking of file system inode usage, with new configuration
settings $Conf{DfInodeUsageCmd} and $Conf{DfMaxInodeUsagePct}.
* bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: fixes to hardlink handling on incrementals,
plus cleanup
* bin/BackupPC_backupDuplicate: fixed directory creation for copying v3
backups.
* bin/BackupPC_backupDelete: couple of inode-related bug fixes; also do
fsck if $Conf{RefCntFsck} != 0.
* bin/BackupPC: fixed handling of dhcp hosts, reported by Jean-Marc.
* bin/BackupPC: improved version check of rsync_bpc to allow period
before "beta", reported by @ktenney in issue #214.
* Added $Conf{EMailAdminSubject} to allow the admin email subject to
be set.
* Changed default $Conf{CgiDateFormatMMDD} to 2 (YYYY-MM-DD), submitted
by @moisseev (#231).
* Allow multiple groups in $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup}, submitted by
@moisseev (#235).
* Improvements to html table sorting, and made more tables sortable,
submitted by @brenard and @moisseev (issue #199, PRs #200, #229, #230,
#232).
* Add action type column to queue status page (#208), submitted by
@brenard.
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/Summary.pm: host summary only reports age of completed
backups (not partial or active), suggested by Michael Selway.
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pm: show active backup as partial if there
is no job running (to handle case of abnormal exit of BackupPC),
reported by @8666 in issue #220.
* systemd/src/backuppc.service: added ExecReload, submitted by
@opoplawski (#233).
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: empty $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} is no longer fatal;
removed remaining mentions of RsyncdAuthRequired from conf/config.pl
and lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm; reported by @jooola in issue #224.
* bin/BackupPC_dump: moved alarm($Conf{ClientTimeout}) to after all the
pre-backup code (including expiry, duplication etc of backups, which
could be slow) reprted by Michael Selway.
* bin/BackupPC_refCntUpdate: added a couple of __bpc_progress_state__ prints
to improve status reporting during nightly (-m), reprted by Michael Selway.
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm: added Disabled value to host info (copied from
$Conf{BackupsDisable}); suggested by @danielmotaleite (issue #222).
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: added checks for a couple of common rsync
file error and error exit messages that now increment the xferErrs count.
* bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: errors related to a particular file are counted
as Xfer errors, rather than considered fatal.
* bin/BackupPC_dump: added check that $LogFd is defined before using it.
* lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm: replaced exit() with POSIX::_exit() so that object
destruction is skipped in the child process. This fixes corruption of
the compressed XferLOG file if the exec of $Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} fails.
* conf/config.pl: updated project home page to https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc
in email message footers.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.2.1, 7 May 2018
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull request #195.
* Added new config variable $Conf{CgiUserDeleteBackupEnable} that
sets whether users and admins can delete backups via the CGI
interface. The default value is 0, which means it's disabled
for regular users but available for admins.
* Fixed delete backup bug in bin/BackupPC_Admin_SCGI reported by
Julian Zielke in issue #193.
* Added check to dirCacheFlush() in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract to skip files
that don't have attributes; reported by Tarak Patel.
* Removed extraneous duplicate variable assignment in lib/BackupPC/CGI/GeneralInfo.pm,
from @moisseev (#195).
#------------------------------------------------------------------------

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull requests #160, #190.
* Backups can now be deleted via the CGI interface, written by @moisseev
(#160).

LOG file, to support CGI backup deletion.
* Added support for a user-editable comment per host, via a new ClientComment
config parameter, requested by @andrewmaksymowsky.
* bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: Added support for pax headers, which smbclient
uses for long file names
* bin/BackupPC_backupDelete: make sure directory exists when renaming tree
from deleted backup.
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm: ignore empty output lines from smbclient;
fixes issue #159.
* bin/BackupPC: improved several of the exit error messages.
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: added shareName to RsyncArgs* argument
substitutions; suggested by Alex Kobel.
* conf/BackupPC_stnd.css: removed import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css....'
suggested by @MartijnRas in issue #174.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.1.5, 3 Dec 2017
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Changed required BackupPC::XS version from 0.56 to 0.57.
* bin/BackupPC_dump now updates inodeLast for share being backed up.
* bin/BackupPC_refCountUpdate: inodeLast is checked and updated during fsck;
needs BackupPC::XS 0.57.

#151, #152, #153, #155, #157, #167
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm: made pipeSMB non-blocking to avoid a
reported deadlock when BackupPC's select() returns ok for reading,
but there are no bytes to read from the client tar's log/stdout
output. Parallel change to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm in 4.1.3.
* bin/BackupPC_tarCreate and bin/BackupPC_zipCreate: untaint the host name
so they work with setuid under CGI; fixes empty tar or zip files
downloaded via CGI interface (fixes issue #156)

from @moisseev (#152)
* bin/BackupPC: added more detailed startup information (perl and BackupPC
version) to log, from @moisseev (#157)
* bin/BackupPC_rrdUpdate: fixed empty pools hiding from @moisseev (#167)
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm: now ignores additional debug messages from
smbclient, and flags lines in the XferLOG it doesn't recognize.
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/Browse.pm: default display now has the last, rather
than first, share opened.
* Replaced submit with button so that Enter doesn't activate the Delete
button. Fixes issue #161, reported by Philippe-M.

# Version Version 4.1.3, 3 Jun 2017
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull requests: #109, #114
* Fixed editing of compound menu variables (eg: BackupFilesOnly).
* Made tarPipe in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm non-blocking to avoid a
reported deadlock when BackupPC's select() returns ok for reading,
but there are no bytes to read from the client tar's log/stdout
output. Thanks to Matt Bedynek for running various tests and
providing debugging insights to track this down.
* Better error checking when using $f->read() on pool files.
Thanks to Cody Jackson for tracking down this issue, related to
reading corrupted compressed pool files. There's also an
additional fix in backuppc-xs (version 0.54).
* Cleans up any orphan temporary pool writing files.
* Fixed utf-8 output in SCGI.
* Fixed a reference counting bug in BackupPC_tarExtract.
* Fixed rsync restore transfer byte total, reported by Alexander
Moisseev
* Replaced logo href with https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc.
* On a v3->v4 upgrade, remove the new --one-file-system flag from the new
RsyncArgs if it wasn't there before.
* Added /usr/local/bin to search path in configure.pl from Alexander
Moisseev (#109).
* Avoid missing or extra quotes when replacing misused undef or
empty string values in configure.pl from Alexander Moisseev
(#114).
* Chasing down a still unsolved bug with help from Lano and Dieter Fauth
where newly added pool files in uncompressed backups get removed
by BackupPC_refCountUpdate during a long-running backup, or if
BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 is running. Two workarounds added in this
release: BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 will now exit if BackupPC is running,
and BackupPC_refCountUpdate only removes pool files that are more than
a week old.

# Version 4.1.2, 30 Apr 2017
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull requests: #93, #94, #97, #102
* Fixed NetBios lookup of hosts, reported by Doug Lytle.
* Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract and lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Ftp.pm in case where
a directory tree is no longer present in a new backup. Reported by
Jens Potthast and Matt Bedynek, who helped debug it.
* Fixed SCGI when BackupPC is run in non-daemon mode (which is the systemd
default starting in 4.1.1).
* $Conf{ClientNameAlias} can now be an array of hostnames; the first one
that succeeds ping is used for the backup or restore. From martintamare
(#94).
* Fixed status link in SCGI server, improved the navigation tab (now
it doesn't scroll) and some css/html cleanup; from Nicholas Hall (#97).
* Fixed logic in bin/BackupPC_dump for $Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} to
prevent netbios name check; from Nicholas Hall (#102).
* Fixed config editor bug in sub-entries of hash config variables, related
to SCGI.
* Fixed rsync restore of a top-level directory when the share is "/",
reported by Ray Frush.
* Increased $Conf{FullKeepCnt}[0] by 1 in expiry calculations, so the most
recent filled backup effectively isn't counted for expiry. This improves
the behavior, particularly when $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1.
* Rsync transfers now use --timeout=$Conf{ClientTimeout} instead of
using an alarm based on rsync log output, suggested by ACR.
* added --delete-excluded and --one-file-system to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
* Removed extra quotes from $Conf{CgiURL} in configure.pl from Alexander
Moisseev (#93). Also added $DestDir to some print messages in configure.pl.
* BackupPC_dump and BackupPC_restore now support the -p option to turn off
progress reports. The old -p (inplace) option to BackupPC_tarExtract
is now -P.
* Backup directory mtime is now set to the backup endTime.
* Updated FSF address in cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin, reported by TomCat42 (#91).

by spikebike.
* Fixed divide-by-zero in progress % report in BackupPC_migrateV3toV4
(issue #75) reported by spikebike.
* In lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm, if Socket::getaddrinfo() doesn't exist (ie,
an old version of Socket.pm), then default to ipv4 ping.
* Updates to configure.pl to make config-path default be based on
config-dir (#79), prepended config-path with dest-dir, fixing a
config.pl merge bug affecting $Conf{PingPath} reported by Richard Shaw,
and a few other fixes.
* Updated required version of BackupPC::XS to 0.53 and rsync_bpc to
3.0.9.6.
* Minor changes to systemd/src/init.d/gentoo-backuppc from sigmoidal (#82).
* Added RuntimeDirectory to systemd/src/backuppc.service.
* Use the scalar form of getpwnam() in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm and
lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm

reported and proposed fix by stirab (issue #67).
* configure.pl replaces SourceForge links in $Conf{CgiNavBarLinks} with
new Github links.
* Added BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 that migrates old V3 backup storage to
V4, eliminating hardlinks. The forward merging of V3 incrementals is
not changed; just the backup tree is updated to use V4 attrib files, and
the linked V3 files are removed. Thanks to Michael Huntley for testing.
* Renamed init.d to systemd, added systemd/src/backuppc.service template
* Replaced CSS file with new BackupPC_stnd.css from Ernesto Carrea (#59,#73).
Renamed old ones to conf/BackupPC_retro_v2.css and conf/BackupPC_retro_v3.css.
* Updated lib/BackupPC/DirOps.pm with more robust checking that IO::Dirent
works. Matches similar changes to 3.x that didn't make it into 4.x.
Fixes issue #56.
* BackupPC_refCountUpdate handles case of empty backups better. It creates
a noPoolCntOk file if there are legitimately no poolCnt files after
running. Reported by Alexander Kobel.
* Fixed umask() in child processes (issue #58) reported by Alexander
Moisseev.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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.

$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

# 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.
