BackupPC 4.1.3 has been released on Github.

New versions of BackupPC-XS 0.55, rsync-bpc 3.0.9.7 and cygwin-rsyncd 3.1.2.1 have also been released.

There are several bug fixes; see below.  Upgrading is strongly recommended.

Thanks to Matt Bedynek, Cody Jackson, Lano and Dieter Fauth helping track down some bugs.

Enjoy!

* 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.
