#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.1, 13 Mar 2005
#------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * Fixed bug in top-level restore using rsync XferMethod.
   BackupPC::View was leaving an extra leading "/" at the start
   of top-level directories, messing up the FileList sort order.
   Reported and debugged by Gail Edwards.

 * Added pathCreate() to BackupPC_tarExtract so that new directories
   are created.  Required for xtar on MacOSX since the virtual resource
   fork directories (.rsrc) are not explicitly included in the tar
   archive - just the files below .rsrc are.

 * Changed $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt.* to $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt*
   in $parCmd in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.

 * Fixed HostSortCompare() in BackupPC to correctly sort hosts so
   those with the oldest backups get queued first.

 * Changed test in BackupPC_sendEmail so that directories/files
   starting with "." in $TopDir/pc are ignored, rather than
   just "." and "..".

 * Changed BackupPC_sendEmail to include NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT
   in check for bad outlook files.

 * Ensure that %Status and %StatusHost are empty if requesting
   status on hosts in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm GetStatusInfo().
   Fixes problem with new hosts under mod_perl.

 * Added images/icon-hardlink.gif so that hardlinks show file type icon.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0pl1, 15 Aug 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
* Added fix to lib/BackupPC/Lang/nl.pm from Lieven Bridts.

* Added patch from Tony Nelson to remove $Info{pid} before BackupPC
  writes the status and shuts down.

* Changed BackupPC_nightly so that it doesn't call find() if the
  directory doesn't exist.  This avoids errors in certain versions
  of perl.  Reported by Bernd Rilling.

* Fixed BackupPC::CGI::Lib to correctly re-load config.pl for mod_perl.
  Reported by Tony Nelson and Jimmy Liang.

* Explicitly untaint $In{host} in BackupPC::CGI::Lib to fix problem
  reported by Thomas Tempé.

* Added newline to "...skipping because of user requested delay..."
  log message in BackupPC_dump.  Reported by Wayne Scott.

* Added read file size error checking to BackupPC_tarCreate.
  Reported by Brandon Evans.

* Added check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO to ensure that when
  compression is toggled on/off, a compressed backup doesn't link
  to an uncompressed pool file (and an uncompressed backup doesn't
  link to a compressed pool file).  Reported by Brandon Evans.

* Updated documentation with new dirvish URL and a typo from
  Todd Curry.

* Fix to BackupPC_sendEmail so that it correctly sends admin emails
  for hosts that have failed backups.  Reported by Simon Kuhn.
