Re: [BackupPC-devel] [backuppc/backuppc] BackupPC 4.1.2 release

[Raoul B. <ra...@bh...>]

Thanks Craig and everybody who contributed 

I've updated the Debian packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 16.10 - you
can find them at
https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Build-Your-Own-Packages#downloads
(Sorry, no personal need/time for Ubuntu 17.04 yet) 

Feedback appreciated! 

Cheers,
Raoul

> * Fixed NetBios lookup of hosts, reported by Doug Lytle.
> * Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract and lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Ftp.pm in case where a directory tree is no longer present in a new backup. Reported by Jens Potthast and Matt Bedynek.
> * Fixed SCGI when BackupPC is run in non-daemon mode (which is the systemd default starting in 4.1.1).
> * $Conf{ClientNameAlias} can now be an array of hostnames; the first one that succeeds ping is used for the backup or restore. From martintamare (#94 [2]).
> * Fixed status link in SCGI server, improved the navigation tab (now it doesn't scroll) and some css/html cleanup; from Nicholas Hall (#97 [3]).
> * Fixed logic in bin/BackupPC_dump for $Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} to prevent netbios name check; from Nicholas Hall (#102 [4]).
> * Fixed config editor bug in sub-entries of hash config variables, related to SCGI.
> * Fixed rsync restore of a top-level directory when the share is "/", reported by Ray Frush.
> * Increased $Conf{FullKeepCnt}[0] by 1 in expiry calculations, so the most recent filled backup effectively isn't counted for expiry. This improves the behavior, particularly when $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1.
> * Rsync transfers now use --timeout=$Conf{ClientTimeout} instead of using an alarm based on rsync log output, suggested by ACR.
> * added --delete-excluded and --one-file-system to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
> * Removed extra quotes from $Conf{CgiURL} in configure.pl from Alexander Moisseev (#93 [1]). Also added $DestDir to some print messages in configure.pl.
> * BackupPC_dump and BackupPC_restore now support the -p option to turn off progress reports. The old -p (inplace) option to BackupPC_tarExtract is now -P.
> * Backup directory mtime is now set to the backup endTime.
> * Updated FSF address in cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin, reported by TomCat42 (#91 [5]).
