Here is the current ChangeLog.  This should be pretty much what is
in 3.2.0beta0.

Craig

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.
