[BackupPC-devel] BackupPC 4.3.0 released

[Craig B. <cba...@us...>]

BackupPC 4.3.0 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/releases/tag/4.3.0>
has been released on Github.  This release has a few new features (eg,
checking inode usage on the BackupPC filesystem) and some improvements (eg,
html table sorting), in addition to a number of bug fixes.

In addition, rsync-bpc 3.0.9.13
<https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc/releases/tag/3.0.9.13> and backuppc-xs
0.58 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc-xs/releases/tag/0.58> have been
released.  Those are very minor updates, and upgrading from rsync-bpc
3.0.9.12 or backuppc-xs 0.57 is not necessary to run BackupPC 4.3.0.

The changes since 4.2.1 are listed below.

I'd like to thank the folks that contributed to this release, and people
who helped debug issues.

Enjoy!

Craig

   <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/208>), submitted by @brenard
   <https://github.com/brenard>.
   - lib/BackupPC/CGI/Summary.pm: host summary only reports age of
   completed backups (not partial or active), suggested by Michael Selway.
   - lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pm: show active backup as partial if there
   is no job running (to handle case of abnormal exit of BackupPC), reported
   by @8666 <https://github.com/8666> in issue #220
   <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/220>.
   - systemd/src/backuppc.service: added ExecReload, submitted by
   @opoplawski <https://github.com/opoplawski> (#233
   <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/233>).
   - lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: empty $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} is no longer
   fatal; removed remaining mentions of RsyncdAuthRequired from conf/
   config.pl and lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm; reported by @jooola
   <https://github.com/jooola> in issue #224
   <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/224>.
   - bin/BackupPC_dump: moved alarm($Conf{ClientTimeout}) to after all the
   pre-backup code (including expiry, duplication etc of backups, which could
   be slow) reported by Michael Selway.
   - bin/BackupPC_refCntUpdate: added a couple of bpc_progress_state prints
   to improve status reporting during nightly (-m), reported by Michael Selway.
   - lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm: added Disabled value to host info (copied
   from $Conf{BackupsDisable}); suggested by @danielmotaleite
   <https://github.com/danielmotaleite> (issue #222
   <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/222>).
   - lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: added checks for a couple of common rsync
   file error and error exit messages that now increment the xferErrs count.
   - bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: errors related to a particular file are
   counted as Xfer errors, rather than considered fatal.
   - bin/BackupPC_dump: added check that $LogFd is defined before using it.
   - lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm: replaced exit() with POSIX::_exit() so that
   object destruction is skipped in the child process. This fixes corruption
   of the compressed XferLOG file if the exec of $Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} fails.
   - conf/config.pl: updated project home page to
   https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc in email message footers.
