"SfR Fresh" - the SfR Freeware/Shareware Archive

Member "dar-2.3.8/ChangeLog" of archive dar-2.3.8.tar.gz:

    1 from version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.1
    2 - correction of few mistakes that lead the compilation to fail with certain
    3       C++ compilers
    4 - bug #1 fixed.
    5 
    6 from version 1.0.1 to version 1.0.2
    7 - bug #2 fixed
    8 - bug #3 fixed
    9 
   10 from version 1.0.2 to version 1.0.3
   11 - bug #5 fixed
   12 
   13 from version 1.0.0 to version 1.1.0
   14 - added feature: now ignored directory are not stored at all in the archive
   15       unless -D option is used, in which case ignored directory are recorded as
   16       empty directory (as it was in 1.0.x)
   17 - added support for hard links. Generated archive format version is now 02, but
   18       format 01 can still be read, and use as reference.
   19 - fixed bug #1
   20 - fixed bug #2
   21 - fixed bug #3
   22 - added feature: restore only more recent file than existing one (-r option)
   23 - added feature: support for Extended Attributes (activated at compilation)
   24 - added feature: verbose option (-v) with -l (add archive contents)
   25 - modified behavior: -l option without -v is no more interactive
   26 - added feature: archive integrity test (option -t). CRC have been added in
   27       the archive (format 02), thus even without compression Dar is able to
   28       detect errors.
   29 - added feature: comparison with filesystem (difference) (option -d)
   30 - modified behavior: non interactive messages goes to stdout, while those
   31       asking user, goes to stderr (all goes to stderr if stdout is used for
   32       producing the archive, or for sending orders do dar_slave.
   33 - added feature: DAR automatically goes in non interactive mode if no terminal
   34       is found on standard input (for example when run from crontab). In that
   35       case any question make DAR to abort.
   36 - added feature: catalogue extraction to small file: "isolation" (-C option)
   37 - added feature: archive produced on stdout when using -c or -C with "-" as
   38       filename
   39 - added feature: -V option summarizes version of the binary
   40 - added feature: additional command "dar_xform" to "re-slice" an archive
   41 - added feature: read archive trough a pair of pipes with the help of dar_slave
   42 - added feature: long option are now available (see man page)
   43 - fixed bug #5
   44 - a lot of speed optimization in algorithm
   45 - changed exit codes to positive values in case of error
   46 - dar returns an new error code when an operation is partially successful
   47   (some filed missed to be saved / restored / tested / compared).
   48 - replace the use of vform() method by a customized simple implementation
   49   in the ui_printf() routine, this should now allow compilation with gcc-3
   50 - changed long option that used an underscore character (`_') by a dash ('-')
   51 - added -O option to have a better behavior when used with non root user
   52 - added 'make doc' option in the makefile
   53 
   54 from version 1.1.0 to version 1.2.0
   55 - -P option can now accept wild cards
   56 - changed dar output format when listing archive contents to have something
   57   more similar to the output of tar. -T is provided to get the previous tree
   58   listing
   59 - fixed bug #6
   60 - user interaction is now possible even if standard input is used (for pipe)
   61 - fixed bug #7
   62 - added some missing #include files for compilation under Windows using Cygwin
   63 - added feature to display name of user and group (when possible) in place of
   64   uid and gid while listing archive contents.
   65 - added the possibility to launch command between slices (-E and -F options)
   66   for dar, dar_xform and dar_slave.
   67 - when saving or comparing a directory tree, DAR goes transparently in
   68   subdirectory not modifying the last_access date of each directory.
   69 - usage text (displayed by -h option) is now generated from xml file
   70   thanks to Chris Martin's little software named dar-help
   71 - fixed bug concerning the uninstallation of man pages
   72 - changed the place where man pages and documentation go /usr/share/doc
   73   usr/share/man
   74   in place of /usr/doc and /usr/man for the RPM package (conform to Filesystem
   75   Hierarchy Standard)
   76 - changed the place where documentation goes for /usr/local/doc to
   77   /usr/local/share/doc by default. (Thanks to Jerome Zago)
   78   (conform to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard)
   79 - added scrambling features (-J and -K options)
   80 - added selective compression (-Y and -Z options)
   81 - added third state for saved data to keep trace in an extracted catalogue of
   82   what is saved in the reference archive (this opens the door to the archive
   83   manager)
   84 - added the ability to read configuration file (-B option, -B like "batch").
   85 - if a slice name is given in place of a base name, dar proposes to change
   86   to the correct base name (strips the extension number and dots).
   87 - fixed bug #8
   88 - added dar_manager command-line program
   89 - replaced integer types by macro that can be adapted to have correct behavior
   90   on 64 bits platform (in particular to read archive from other platforms).
   91 
   92 from version 1.2.0 to version 1.2.1
   93 - minor change to have backward compatibility with old archive (dar < 1.2.0)
   94 generated on 64 bits OS (have to use OS_BITS=32 in Makefile on 64 bits OS).
   95 - adapted Axel Kohlmeyer's patch for RPMS
   96 - adapted Dietrich Rothe's patch for compression level : -z has an optional
   97   argument which is compression level to use.
   98 - I and -X now available while listing archive contents (-l)
   99 - based on Brian May's patch, dar with EA_SUPPORT avoids complaining when
  100   reading a filesystem that do not supports EA.
  101 - based on Brian May's other patch, dar now uses by default the <stdint.h>
  102   integers.
  103 - dar is now built with dynamic linking, and a special version named
  104   dar_static which is statically linked is also available

  106 
  107 from version 1.2.1 to 1.3.0

  113 - added feature : comments in the configuration file given to -B (see
  114   man page for more).
  115 - added feature : --mincompr option
  116 - fixed a display error when listing a hard link (the name of the first
  117   hard link seen on an inode was displayed in place of the name of each hard
  118   link). This did not concern the tree (-T option) listing.
  119 - added standard config files ~/.darrrc and /etc/darrc config files
  120 - conditional statements in included files (using make-like targets)
  121 - added feature : --noconf option

  130 - added the --nodump feature
  131 - fixed bug #13
  132 - configuration file can have DOS or UNIX text formating
  133 - now closing files before asking for the last slice, this allow un-mounting

  158   messages are sent there.
  159 - changed "dar_manager -u" do not display anymore files present in the archive
  160   which have not saved data or EA in the asked archive.
  161 - removed displaying of command-line used for backup ("dar -v -l ...") as it
  162   is no more becoming inaccurate due to include files and as it would consume
  163   too much space if it has to be developed.
  164 - added sample scripts for using dar with Parchive
  165 - now displaying option read from configuration files when using -v option
  166 - added %e and %c for user script parameters
  167 - using UPX to compress binary if available at compilation time

  171 - removed this previous warning when creating archive on the stdout
  172 - fixed bug #15
  173 - fixed error in libdar sanity checks, where exceptions were not raised (due
  174   to the lack of the "throw" keyword)
  175 - fixed bug #16
  176 - changed order of argument passed to dar by dar_manager, for the -x <archive>

  357 - added Swedish translation (by Peter Landgren)
  358 - fixed typo in French translation
  359 - added a const_cast statment to avoid compilation warning under some systems
  360 - fixed problem on solaris where the TIME&MIN non canonical parameters
  361   for terminal are not set by default to 1 and 0 (but to 4 and 0),
  362   leading keyboard interaction to be impossible when dar needs
  363   user interaction.
  364 - added O_BINARY to open() mode in dar_cp, without this will cause some problem
  365   under Cygwin.
  366 
  367 from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3
  368 - error in TUTORIAL (-P only receives relative paths)
  369 - updated FAQ with memory requirement questions/problem
  370 - added Bob Barry's script for determining memory requirement
  371 - added documentation about NLS in doc/NOTES
  372 - fixed bug concerning the << operator of infinint class. This has no
  373   impact as this operator is not used in dar/libdar.
  374 - added Jakub Holy's script to doc/samples
  375 - fixed bug with patch transmitted from Debian (Brian May) about the
  376   detection of the ext2_fs.h header.

  378   while the nodump feature has not been activated at compilation time.
  379 - fixed dar man page about --gzip option usage when using an argument
  380 - now counting as errors the file with too long filename
  381 - now counting the file excluded due to nodump flag as ignored due filter
  382   selection
  383 
  384 from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4
  385 - fixed #35

  387   Rivera
  388 - updated Swedish translation by Peter Landgren
  389 
  390 from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5
  391 - limited size of internal buffers allocated on the stack to not
  392   be greater than SSIZE_MAX when this macro is defined. This comes
  393   from feedback from "Steffe" at sourceforge after he ported dar
  394   to HPnonStop.
  395 - integrated Andrey Yasniy's patch: fixed differential backup problem with
  396   ru_RU.koi8-r locale.
  397 - integrated  Nick Alcock's patch: no warning shown when not on EXT2
  398   filesystem and nodump feature has been activated.
  399 - avoid having arrow key be interpreted as escape key (while they remains
  400   an escape key + one char, as received from the tty).
  401 - added part of Kyler Klein's patch for OSX (Tiger) (only concerns included gettext)
  402 
  403 from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6

  407 
  408 from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7
  409 - updated Swedish translation by Peter Landgren
  410 - fixed bug #37
  411 - added old function (modified in 2.2.6) for backward compatibility
  412 - added German translation by Markus Kamp
  413 
  414 from 2.2.x to 2.3.0
  415 - added user_interaction::pause2() method
  416 - added the snapshot feature
  417 - added the Cache Directory Tagging detection feature
  418 - adapted Wesley's patch for a pkgconfig for libdar
  419 - added -[ and -] options (file selection from file listing)
  420   Important consequence for libdar user programs:
  421   the fs_root argument is now expanded to full absolute path inside libdar,
  422   thus the mask you will give for path inclusion/exclusion (the "subtree" argument)
  423   will be used against full absolute path of files under consideration
  424   for the operation. Assuming you have fs_root=tmp/A and the current
  425   directory is /tmp, your mask will be used against strings like
  426   /var/tmp/A/some/file. (instead of tmp/A/some/file as in the previous API
  427   version). Things are equal if the fs_root is given an absolute path.
  428 - changed archive format to "05". Due to complete review of EA management.
  429 - upon some signal reception, dar aborts the backup nicely, producing a
  430   completely formatted archive will all the file saved so far. This archive can
  431   be take as reference for a further backup to continue the operation at a later
  432   time.
  433 - dar_manager aborts properly upon certain signal reception (do not let the database
  434   partially updated).
  435 - dar_slave and dar_xform now recognize when a slicename is given in place of a basename
  436 - reviewed thread_cancellation (API change) for it be possible to cancel several thread at the same time
  437 - prevent some dead-lock situation that can occur when a signal is received inside a critical section
  438 - dar_cp, dar_xform and dar_slave also abort nicely upon signal reception
  439 - dar_manager can now restore files based on a given date (not always the most recent version)
  440 - dar_manager now has an interactive mode (-i option)
  441 - change in API, the warning() method need not be overwritten, but the new protected method
  442   inherited_warning() must be inherited in its place (same function, same prototype

  446 - dar now check a file has not been modified while it was reading it, if so it reports a warning and returns a specific exit code

  461 - dar will no refuse to abort if user presses escape when dar asks the user to be ready to write to a new slice
  462 - adapted Wesley Legette's patch for an xml archive listing
  463 - added 'InRef' status for EA (same meaning as the one for file's data)
  464

  468 - fixed compilation problem when thread-safe code is disabled
  469 - integrated Wiebe Cazemier's patch for dar's man page

  489 - update FAQ
  490 - fixed bug: uncaught exception thrown when CTRC-C was hit while dar waits an
  491   answer from the user [SF #1612205]

  494 - added a check to verify that the libdar used is compatible with the current
  495   dar suite programs [SF #1587643]
  496 - fixed bug: added workaround for the right arithmetic shift operator (the
  497   binary produced by gcc-3.4.2 produces computes "v>>s" equal to "v" when when
  498   v is a integer field composed of s exactly bits. It should rather compute it
  499   to zero...).
  500   this problem leads 32 bits generated archive incompatible with 64 bits
  501   generated archive only when blowfish is used.
  502 - fixed bug met when the inode space is exhausted, thanks to "Jo - Ex-Bart" for
  503   this new feedback. [SF #1632738]

  516 - fixed behavior when differential backup is interrupted (no more store file that
  517   would have been read if no interruption had been done as "deleted" since the
  518   archive of reference) [SF #1669091].
  519 - added official method to access catalogue's statistics through the API (for kdar
  520   next version).
  521 - Fixed syntax error in dar_par_create.duc and dar_par_test.duc files (Parchive
  522   integration with dar).
  523 - minor spelling fix in error message (compressor.cpp)
  524 - added Wiebe Cazemier's two patches for dar man page
  525 - integrated patch from Dwayne C. Litzenberger to fix weakness in dar's

  540 - fixed Makefile.am in src/dar_suite (removed "/" after $(DESTDIR))
  541 - fixed bug in regex mask building when not using ordered masks
  542 - fixing bug that led dar_manager to report no error while some files failed
  543   to be restored due to command-line for dar being too large.
  544 - fixed bug met when user aborts operation while dar is finalizing archive creation [SF #1800507]
  545 - fixed problem with execvp when dar_manager launches dar
  546

  561 - fixed bug in libdar met when user supply an empty file as a list of file to
  562   include or exclude ( -[ and -] options )
  563 - fixed bug concerning elastic buffers used beside strong encryption. No
  564   security issue here, just in some almost rare situations the generated archive
  565   was not readable (testing your archive prevents you loosing data in this
  566   situation)
  567 - added some speed optimizations
  568 - avoided warning to appear without -v option set, when an error is met while
  569   fetching value of nodump flag (flag not supported on filesystem for example).
