# Version 4.0.0alpha3, 1 Dec 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Added rrdtool support, based on code from Alexander Moisseev.

* Fixed BackupPC_attribPrint to auto-detect the compression status of the
  attrib file.  Reported by Chris Adamson.

* Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract for case where no subdirectories are in
  the archive, which caused the top-level attrib file to not be written.
  Reported by Alexander Moisseev.

* Added recovery/cleanup to bin/BackupPC_dump in case last V4 backup is
  not filled.

* Tweaked RmTreeQuietInner() in lib/BackupPC/DirOps.pm to improve error
  messages, and continue on error.

* When FHS is enabled, moved BackupPC.pid and BackupPC.sock files to
  /var/run/BackupPC (or $Conf{RunDir}), and the documentation to
  $InstallDir/share/doc/BackupPC.
