BackupPC 3.2.0 has been released on SF.net.
This release contains a few new features and significant number of
bug fixes. Some of the new features are:
* Added FTP xfer method, implemented by Paul Mantz.
* Moved setting of $bpc->{PoolDir} and $bpc->{CPoolDir} after the config
file is read in BackupPC::Lib, which fixes a long standing problem.
Fix proposed by Tim Taylor and Joe Krahn, and rediscovered by several
others including Holger Parplies.
* 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.
* Added $Conf{CmdQueueNice} to specify nice level for command queue
commands (eg: BackupPC_link and BackupPC_nightly). Suggested by
Carl Soderstrom.
* Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if
$Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. Requested by John Rouillard.
* 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 Kratochvil.
There is also a new version 0.70 of File::RsyncP that fixes an
issue on ARM targets.
See the attached ChangeLog showing the cumulative changes since 3.1.0.
Enjoy!

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 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 Kratochvil.
* 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 Jesus Martel.
* Removed BackupPC_compressPool and BackupPC::Xfer::BackupPCd.
