confstore 0.5.4 released!
Version 0.5.4 adds support for environmental variables, such as $HOME, in definition files thus greatly expanding what definition files can cover. Also, a bug in the wildcard system that wouldn't allow you to restore files that had been originally found using a wildcard entry has been fixed. When restoring, 'v' now shows both files so you can compare before you restore. All module options have been moved to cs.conf as well, meaning that you no longer have to edit the module scripts. Finally, I've added a few more configsets to the default locations.def plus a few that people submitted on SF and via the submission form on the confstore site.

Confstore news and updates
Well its been a while since a new release or any news on confstore, so I thought I'd post to update people.
Firstly, the web version of confstore is unlikely to go ahead due to lack of interest. I'm currently looking at releasing 0.5.4 with a few fixes, updated definitions and maybe a few small new features.
Also, a windows version of confstore is in the pipeline! I make no promises on when this will be released but I'm working on it now and progress is going well.
Thanks to everyone who is supporting and using confstore!

Development of a possible web interface for confstore
I've been considering the idea of a fully featured web interface version of confstore for a while now. Such an implementation would allow great flexibility and accessibility. Every backup would be logged automatically, users would be able to enter dates and see the configuration present at that time, backup data from the interface, view differences between various config files in seperate frames, have the added security of automatic md5 checksum verification and so much more. The possibilities are endless and I feel this is the way foward for confstore. The command line script version would continue to be developed aswell for those not interested in a web interface. However there are a lot of decisions to be made yet, for example, whether the web interface would also be in Perl or maybe PHP may lend a helping hand, and whether MySQL could be used to store various information about backups, maybe even actual configuration files. The reason I am posting about this is because I need confirmation that people would be interested in such a development. If there is little interest in this web interface then I will not waste my time coding it. If you have *any* interest, comments or suggestions regarding the possible web interface, please mail mastodon at fade@xaker.ru
The future of confstore is in your hands!

confstore v0.5.3 released!
confstore v0.5.3 contains mainly bugfixes for v0.5.2 which had some problems with the encryption. Mainly, 0.5.2 would not run at all unless you had Crypt::CipherSaber, even if you werent using the encryption. This is fixed now and you only need Crypt::CipherSaber if you are going to use the encryption features. Checking for the module now occurs earlier in program execution to prevent unencrypted archives being left around if you try and encrypt something without Crypt::CipherSaber.
