--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
BackupPC 4.4.0 === This release contains several new features and some bug
fixes. New features include: * any full/filled backup can be marked for
keeping, which prevents any expiry or deletion * any backup can be annotated
with a comment (eg, "prior to upgrade of xyz") added metrics CGI (thanks to
@jooola) that replaces RSS and adds Prometheus support * tar XferMethod now
supports xattrs and acls * rsync XferMethod now correctly supports xattrs on
directories and symlinks * nightly pool scanning now verifies the md5 digests of
a configurable fraction of pool files * code runs through perltidy so format is
now uniform (thanks to @jooola, with help from @shancock9 and @moisseev) * New
versions of BackupPC::XS (0.62) and rsync-bpc (3.0.9.15, 3.1.2.2 or 3.1.3beta0)
are required. Here are the more detailed changes: * Merged pull requests #325,
#326, #329, #330, #334, #336, #337, #338, #342, #343, #344, #345, #347, #348,
#349 * Filled/Full backups can now be marked as "keep", which excludes them
from
any expiry/deletion. Also, a backup-specific comment can be added to any backup
to capture any important information about that backup (eg, "pre-upgrade of
xyz"). * Added metrics CGI, which adds Prometheus support and replaces RSS, by
@joola (#344, #347) * Tar XferMethod now supports xattrs and acls; xattrs sbould
be compatible with rsync XferMethod, but acls are not * Sort open directories to
top when browsing backup tree * Format code using perltidy, and included in pre-
commit flow, by @joola (#334, #337, #342, #343, #345). Thanks to @joola and
@shancock9 (perltidy author) for significant effort and support, plus
improvements in perltidy, to make this happen. * Added
$Conf{PoolNightlyDigestCheckPercent}, which checks the md5 digest of this
fraction of the pool files each night. * $Conf{ClientShareName2Path} is saved in
backups file and the share to client path mapping is now displayed when you
browse a backup so you know the actual client backup path for each share, if
different from the share name * configure.pl now checks the per-host config.pl
in a V3 upgrade to warn the user if $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} or
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} are used for that host, so that the new settings
$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} and $Conf{RsyncClientPath} can be manually updated. * Fixed
host mutex handling for dhcp hosts; shifted initial mutex requests to client
programs * Updated webui icon, logo and favicon, by @moisseev (#325, #326, #329,
#330) * Added $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgsExtra} for host-specific restore settings *
Language files are now all use utf8 charsets * Bumped required version of
BackupPC::XS to 0.62 and rsync-bpc to 3.0.9.15. * Ping failure message only
written to stdout only if verbose * BackupPC_backupDelete removes partial v3
backup in HOST/new; fixes #324 reported by @thalueng * BackupPC_backupDelete
adds -f option to over keep, if set * BackupPC_nightly: change -f to -F when
running BackupPC_refCountUpdate during fsck * Better formatting of eval cmd
result in cmdSystemOrEvalLong() * Remove zero count entries in per-backup and
per-host poolCnt files * Add a fake version parameter to the CSS URL to overcome
caching * Fixed ALRM typo in BackupPC_dump, by @rhansen (#348) * Fixed command
name in error message in BackupPC_archive, by @rhansen (#349) *
lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm skips adding --iconv option when
$conf->{ClientCharset} is utf8 or empty, to avoid a long-standing rsync bug *
lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm provides a more informative warning when the client
rsync exits with an IO error, and also includes the IO error in the xferErr
count * lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm recognizes NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE error *
Increase text length in config editor fields, by @moisseev (#336) * Typo fix in
config.pl, by @cure (#338) * Minor documentation updates, removing old
SourceForge links BackupPC-XS 0.62 released === This release has a couple of
fixes: * force rewrite of attr file if xattr key fixup was applied * fixed
attrib refCnt when attrib is unchanged * bpc_attrib_dirWrite() doesn't create
empty attrib files
