This release contains several new features and some bug fixes. New features include:
any full/filled backup can be marked for keeping, which prevents any expiry or deletion
any backup can be annotated with a comment (eg, "prior to upgrade of xyz")
added metrics CGI (thanks to @jooola) that replaces RSS and adds Prometheus support
tar XferMethod now supports xattrs and acls
rsync XferMethod now correctly supports xattrs on directories and symlinks
nightly pool scanning now verifies the md5 digests of a configurable fraction of pool files
code runs through perltidy so format is now uniform (thanks to @jooola, with help from @shancock9 and @moisseev)
New versions of BackupPC::XS (0.62) and rsync-bpc (3.0.9.15, 3.1.2.2 or 3.1.3beta0) are required.
Filled/Full backups can now be marked as "keep", which excludes them from any expiry/deletion. Also, a backup-specific comment can be added to any backup to capture any important information about that backup (eg, "pre-upgrade of xyz").
Added metrics CGI, which adds Prometheus support and replaces RSS, by @joola (#344, #347)
Tar XferMethod now supports xattrs and acls; xattrs sbould be compatible with rsync XferMethod, but acls are not
Sort open directories to top when browsing backup tree
Format code using perltidy, and included in pre-commit flow, by @joola (#334, #337, #342, #343, #345). Thanks to @joola and @shancock9 (perltidy author) for significant effort and support, plus improvements in perltidy, to make this happen.
Added $Conf{PoolNightlyDigestCheckPercent}, which checks the md5 digest of this fraction of the pool files each night.
$Conf{ClientShareName2Path} is saved in backups file and the share to client path mapping is now displayed when you browse a backup so you know the actual client backup path for each share, if different from the share name
configure.pl now checks the per-host config.pl in a V3 upgrade to warn the user if $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} or $Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} are used for that host, so that the new settings $Conf{RsyncSshArgs} and $Conf{RsyncClientPath} can be manually updated.
Fixed host mutex handling for dhcp hosts; shifted initial mutex requests to client programs
Updated webui icon, logo and favicon, by @moisseev (#325, #326, #329, #330)
Added $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgsExtra} for host-specific restore settings
Language files are now all use utf8 charsets
Bumped required version of BackupPC::XS to 0.62 and rsync-bpc to 3.0.9.15.
Ping failure message only written to stdout only if verbose
BackupPC_backupDelete removes partial v3 backup in HOST/new; fixes #324 reported by @thalueng
BackupPC_backupDelete adds -f option to over keep, if set
BackupPC_nightly: change -f to -F when running BackupPC_refCountUpdate during fsck
Better formatting of eval cmd result in cmdSystemOrEvalLong()
Remove zero count entries in per-backup and per-host poolCnt files
Add a fake version parameter to the CSS URL to overcome caching
Fixed ALRM typo in BackupPC_dump, by @rhansen (#348)
Fixed command name in error message in BackupPC_archive, by @rhansen (#349)
lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm skips adding --iconv option when $conf->{ClientCharset} is utf8 or empty, to avoid a long-standing rsync bug
lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm provides a more informative warning when the client rsync exits with an IO error, and also includes the IO error in the xferErr count
