Backuppc v4.1.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-06-04 // almost 7 years ago
  • ๐Ÿ›  BackupPC 4.1.3 fixes several bugs:

    ๐Ÿ”€ Merged pull requests: #109, #114

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed editing of compound menu variables (eg: BackupFilesOnly).

    โœ… 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.

    ๐Ÿ‘ 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.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed utf-8 output in SCGI.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed a reference counting bug in BackupPC_tarExtract.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed rsync restore transfer byte total, reported by Alexander Moisseev

    Replaced logo href with https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc.

    โฌ†๏ธ On a v3->v4 upgrade, remove the new --one-file-system flag from the new RsyncArgs if it wasn't there before.

    โž• Added /usr/local/bin to search path in configure.pl from Alexander Moisseev (#109).

    ๐Ÿ‘€ Avoid missing or extra quotes when replacing misused undef or empty string values in configure.pl from Alexander Moisseev (#114).

    โšก๏ธ 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.
