Backuppc v3.2.0.beta1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2010-01-24 // over 14 years ago-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
🛠 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 dynamically 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.
