Backuppc v3.0.0.beta3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2006-12-03 // over 17 years ago
  • ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    • โœ‚ Removed default paths from conf/config.pl so configure.pl will determine the correct ones at install time. Avoids problem of the config editor complaining about bad executable paths the first time you use it.

    • ๐Ÿ”„ Changed first byte of compressed files with rsync checksums appended to 0xd7 to allow correct protocol_version >= 27 md4 checksums to be written. Old cached checksum files have a first byte 0xd6 and are now considered to be uncached. They will be automatically updated as needed. This avoids the cached checksum warnings in beta2.

    • BackupPC_tarPCCopy now handles all file types correctly. Reported by George Avrunin.

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed BackupPC_nightly to finish pending deletes before renaming pool chains.

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixes for rsync restore where hardlink is to file outside of the top-level restore directory. Reported by George Avrunin, who helped with debugging.

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixes for checksum mismatch on restore for certain file sizes. Reported by George Avrunin and others.

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix for config.pl writing code to handle multi-line expressions. Reported by David Relson and others.

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix for CGI editor when deleting hash entries whose keys are non alphanumeric. Report by David Relson and Aaron Ciarlotta.

    • ๐Ÿ”ง Two fixes to configure.pl from Andreas Vรถgele.
