## [0.9.8] - 2010-09-12
### backupninja changes
- Added GZIP_OPTS option, defaulting to --rsyncable, so that this option can be
disabled on systems that don't support it. This also allows to use another
compression program, such as pbzip2 on SMP machines (Closes Roundup bug
#2405)
### handler changes
#### sys
- Only run mdadm if RAID devices actually exist (Closes: DEBBUG-572450)

- added sshoptions variable for arbitrary ssh options
- updated example file to include destid_file, destport and sshoptions
- use any subdirectories not just "a" to "z". Thanks Chris Nolan! (#606)
#### mysql
- Options passed to mysqldump are now customizable with the new sqldumpoptions
configuration variable. Thanks to Chris Lamb for his preliminary patch
(Closes: DEBBUG-502966)
- Hide 'mysqladmin ping' output, to prevent confusing the user in case mysqld
is running but the authentication fails, which apparently does not prevent
mysqldump to work.
- Fix the error message displayed when mysqld is not running: mysqladmin ping
indeed returns 0 when authentication fails.
- Use gzip's --rsyncable option.
- Quote output filenames to support shell meta-characters in database names.
- Use bash pipefail option when needed so that failed dumps are reported as
such.
#### pgsql
- Use gzip's --rsyncable option.

- Send duplicity output to debug line by line instead of as a whole at one time
(Closes: DEBBUG-536360)

- Fix include/exclude paths with spaces
- Support backups to Amazon S3 buckets, thanks to stefan for the patch.
### helper changes
#### dup
- Do not propose to exclude /home/\*/.gnupg twice anymore (Closes: DEBBUG-563044)

- mktemp is now required to run backupninja, removed less secure fall-back if
mktemp did not exist on the system
### handler changes
#### dup
- General cleanup
- Better support for new duplicity (>= 0.4.4) command line syntax: run
remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: DEBBUG-458816), and run
"duplicity cleanup" before any other duplicity command; both only trigger a
warning on failure, since they should not stop backups from being done. Also
migrated full/incremental backup switch to the new syntax.
- Support every duplicity-supported transport with new configuration option
desturl (Closes: DEBBUG-483712, DEBBUG-346040, Trac#2).
- Actually allow to backup only VServers, by relaxing $include test.
- Set secure permissions on tmpdir when creating it.

supported backend is found (Closes: DEBBUG-476910)
#### rdiff
- Fixed ignore_version default value missing
- Add patch from Matthew Palmer to rdiff handler to incorporate sshoptions into
options via remote-schema not already specified (Closes: DEBBUG-424639)
#### wget
- New handler from rhatto designed to incrementally pull content from a website
to a local folder, based on the rsync handler
#### maildir
- fixed bug where maildirs that start with a number were skipped
- make maildir helper look in every subdirectory of the source directory for
maildirs, rather than just looking in the directories [a-zA-Z0-9], thanks for
the patch from chris@cenolan.com (Trac#43).
- make deleted maildirs record the date they were deleted
- add destid_file configuration option to enable you to specify an alternate
ssh public key authentication file (defaulting to /root/.ssh/id_rsa) pgsql,
mysql, svn, sys:
- use new vservers_running function from lib/vserver (factorization++)
#### sys
- update for 2.6 kernels: use /proc/kallsyms instead of /proc/ksyms (Closes:
Trac#39)
- support selection of VServers to run on, in the same way as in the dup
handler, with the new vsnames configuration option ; (Closes: Trac#45)
- add support for capturing the package debconf selection states using
debconf-get-selections
- fixed catifexec function to actually work, also now passes the arguments
given to catifexec() to the called command (Thanks John Hallam!)
- Added more robust software RAID information capture by running mdadm -Q
--detail /dev/md?\* because some people may have empty mdadm.conf files
(Thanks to John Hallam).
#### trac
- stop failing on all the trac backups if just one fails, this means removing
the temporary trac backup directories if they fail
#### makecd
- updated handler for new toolset (genisoimage and wodim)
## [0.9.5] - 2007-12-02
### backupninja changes
- Fixed checks on configuration files permissions, since the patch applied to
fix DEBBUG-370396 broke this, especially for configuration files created with
permissions 000 by an older ninjahelper version.
- Enhanced portability for other platforms
- Added quoting because it was needed to prevent shell expansion, broking the
toint function sometimes (Closes: Trac#11)
- Fixed reportspace option (Closes: Trac#10)
- Fixed ldap handler not recognizing database suffix (Closes: Trac#28)
### handler changes
#### dup
- Support duplicity >= 0.4.3 invocation syntax (--ssh-command option is not
supported anymore) (Closes: DEBBUG-447425)
- New tmpdir configuration option, very useful in case duplicity tends to fill
up /tmp.
#### ldap
- Fixed shell command quoting issues, missing 'then' clauses, cleaned up
compress=yes to be less redundant and not create empty uncompressed file
(Closes: DEBBUG-394935)
- Fixed ninjahelper to properly set compress option, standardized on yes/no
instead of on/off
- Fixed problem that caused combination of slapcat and compress to not work
together (Closes: Trac#29)
- Applied patch from romain.tartiere@healthgrid.org to fix the SSL/TLS options
to be correct, also set TLS to be the default over SSL (Closes: Trac#13)
#### maildir
- Added an examples file (Closes: Trac#23)
- Applied patch from Anarcat that fixes the cp/mkdir calls to not use GNU
coreutils options, as well as some bashisms (Closes: Trac#24)
- Fix test mode (Closes: Trac#25)
#### mysql
- Fixed case where odd combination of configuration options caused sqldump
backups to get overwritten with an empty file (Closes: DEBBUG-402679)
- Added 'nodata' option to enable you to specify tables that you want to omit
the data from a backup, but still backup the table structure. This is very
useful in cases where tables contain large amounts of cache data. See the
example.mysql for options, thanks Daniel Bonniot (Closes: DEBBUG-408829)
- Enhance code for selecting databases by asking MySQL not to give us the
header (-N), to not draw pretty boxes around the output (-B), send the query
via -e instead of a pipe and ensure MySQL listens to -B. Thanks to Matthew
Palmer (Closes: DEBBUG-452039).
#### pgsql
- Support configuring PGSQLUSER for real, and document it a bit; this broken
support actually prevented pgsql handler to work for VServers (Closes:
DEBBUG-396578)
#### rdiff-backup
- Added cstream support to allow for bandwidth limiting
- Handle "keep = yes" to disable old backups removal (Closes: DEBBUG-424633)
- Add configuration option to allow you to disable the version check as in some
instances this may be an ok scenario (Closes: DEBBUG-424632)
- Added local destination support to helper (Closes: Trac#4)
- Allow exclude-only configurations (Closes: Trac#21)
#### rub/rsync
- Fixed typo in rub handler that caused it to not work
- Changed to use lib/vserver code
- Fixed fsck error
- Fixed integer comparison (Closes: Trac#3)
- Renamed handler to 'rsync', replaces outdated rub handler

(Closes: DEBBUG-440554)
- Added example.rsync configuration file
#### sys
- Fixed typo breaking things for VServers.
- Fix bug when vrootdir is on its own partition (Closes: DEBBUG-395928)
- Better sfdisk error and output handling: should now properly warn when it
does not manage to backup a partition table, and shut up when it succeeds
(Closes: DEBBUG-396632)
- Added option to not use sfdisk at all, useful for vserver/xen instances that
produce warnings about no harddisks found (Closes: DEBBUG-404071)
- Fixed example in example.sys to detail the `__star__` in partitionsfile and
note why its necessary (Closes: DEBBUG-409192)
- Force C locale for sfdisk to ensure english words are found in grep
- Make directory where output is placed configurable, and create the parent dir
if it doesn't exist (Closes: Trac#1)
#### ninjareport
- Added first draft of method to aggregate reports from many servers into one
email. Requires logtail, rsync, configuration of reporthost, reportdirectory
and reportuser in backupninja.conf. Configure cron to run once a day, and
individual backupninjas not to report by email their status, then enjoy one
email report from all hosts, rather than multiple
#### other
- fixed 'make install' bug that failed if /etc/backup.d already existed
- changed spaces to tabs in Makefile.am
- updated redhat spec file (thanks Adam Monsen)
## [0.9.4] - 2006-10-06
### backupninja changes
- Fixed bug in toint(), and thus isnow(), which caused it to not work when run
from cron.
- Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: DEBBUG-361102)
- Add admingroup option to configuration to allow a group that can read/write
configurations (instead of only allowing root). Checks and complains about
group-readable files only when the group differs from the one in the
configuration file (default is root as before). Thanks to Martin Krafft for
the patch (Closes: DEBBUG-370396).
- When determining which backup actions to make, find now follows symlinks for
$configdirectory
- Changed order of -s to mail for compatibility

- Fixed erroneous removal of tmpfile when it didn't exit
- Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
- Fixed su quote usage to be more posixy

- $PGSQLUSER is used instead of hardcoding user 'postgres' (although this is
the default)
#### svn
- Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
#### rdiff
- Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude. Clarification:
globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt is done to dereference
symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities between various readlink versions
in this field.
- Removed overzealous vsnames check
- Now works if testconnect=no and if $test is not defined.
- add $sshoptions config parameter in [dest] section of config so connections
to ports other than 22 can be made by adding the following to the top of the
handler config: options = --remote-schema 'ssh -p REMOTE-PORT -C %s
rdiff-backup --server'
#### dup
- Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude. Clarification
globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt is done to dereference
symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities between various readlink versions
in this field.
- Removed over zealous vsnames check
- Does not pretend anymore that duplicity can work without any passphrase
- Support duplicity 0.4.2 (with Debian patches applied; upstream's 0.4.3 will
integrate them); documented how to write sftp-compatible sshoptions (Closes:
DEBBUG-388543)
- Now forbid to (try to) include /.
#### sys
- Many more system checks were added, (thanks to Petr Klíma)

#### vserver
- init_vservers: fixed DEBBUG-351083 (improper readlink syntax)
- found_vservers: escaped special grep repetition character +
- forced mktemp to use a template with a name to be more compatible with
different versions of mktemp, thanks anarcat
### ninjahelper changes
- Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: DEBBUG-361102)
- Fix configdirectory error that forced you to use /etc/backup.d, thanks
anarcat
- When determining which backup actions to list, find now follows symlinks for
$configdirectory
- Stop checking helpers perms: both "make install" and distros packages install
them with appropriate permissions, it's overzealous to check this at runtime,
and is more complicated to do with current admingroup option.
#### dup.helper
- Fix: signing was enabled with symmetric encryption.
#### other
- changed cron permissions to 644
- changed /etc/backup.d permissions to 0770 (for admingroup)
- minor documentation fixes
- improved RPM build process allowing 'make rpm-package' and 'make
srpm-package' targets, also fixes permissions on man directories, cleans up
RPM-related files during distclean, and adds default EDITOR for "autogen.sh
-f" if none is set. (thanks Robert Napier)
