-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, With several important new features dar-2.3.0 is now ready for pre-release. During that phase, dar will be tested intensively (against regression but also for new features), you are of course welcome to download pre-release packages and do your own testing! For those interested in testing here is the link: http://dar.linux.free.fr/pre-release Changes in Brief: - - The documentation has been reviewed and converted to HTML - - snapshot feature (backup a directory tree recording only state of files) - - Dar is able to follow the Cache Directory Tagging Convention - - pkgconfig provided (Wesley Leggette's Patch) - - filter based on a listing file (exclude/include) - - upon certain signals reception dar command aborts nicely and closes the archive it was creating (letting the user to continue the backup with a differential backup at a later time). - - dar_manager has now an interactive mode (-i option) - - dar_manager features have been moved to libdar - - while performing a backup dar detects files that changed while they were read and warn the user. - - dar also saves EA under MacOS and thus File Forks (Dave Vasilevsky's patch) - - dar also uses Regular expression in place of Glob expression (both are possible at the same time thanks to command-line switches, -ag -ar). - - merging two archives is now possible (without decompression is possible if same compression algorithm is used). - - xml listing output (Wesley Leggette's Patch) - - Dar is now transparent to EA namespaces (the "trusted", "security" and other namespaces are saved/restored). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDwV6bpC5CI8gYGlIRAmyQAJ9giz1q6ZB9kEQbwiZKxfYc9wfM8gCfXze6 tg2eSIjkvvBApAAVWUznuO0= =zoGx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
