Rdiff-backup v0.7.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2002-04-29 // about 22 years ago
  • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed broken remote operation in v0.7.2 by applying (a variant of) โœ… Daniel Robbins' patch. Also fixed associated bug in test set.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed bug recognizing --[include|exclude]-filelist-stdin options, and IndexError bug reading some filelists.

    --force is no longer necessary if the target directory is empty.

    --include/--exclude/etc now work for restoring as they do for backing up.

    ๐ŸŒฒ Raised verbosity level for traceback output - if long log error messages are annoying you, set verbosity to 2. Will come up with a ๐Ÿ‘ better logging system later.

    ๐Ÿ›  May have fixed a problem encountered by Matthew Farrellee and Kevin Spicer wherein the _session_info_list information was stored on the ๐Ÿ’ป wrong computer. This could cause rdiff-backup to fail when running after another backup that failed for a different reason. May backport this fix to 0.6.0 later.

    ๐Ÿ›  May have fixed a problem also noticed by Matthew Farrellee which can cause rdiff-backup to exit when a directory changes into a non-directory file while rdiff-backup is processing the directory. (May also apply to 0.6.0).

    ๐Ÿ›  Fixed a bug noticed by Jamie Heilman where restoring could fail if a recent rdiff-backup process which produced the backup set was aborted while processing a new directory. (May also apply to 0.6.0)
