+ . Hide 'mysqladmin ping' output, to prevent confusing the user in
+ case mysqld is running but the authentication fails, which apparently

+ run remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: #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: #483712, #346040, Trac#2).
+ . Actually allow to backup only VServers, by relaxing $include test.

+ . 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: #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

+ . fixed catifexec function to actually work, also now passes the arguments
+ given to catifexec() to the called command (Thanks John Hallam!)

+ -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)
+
+version 0.9.5 -- December 2, 2007
+ backupninja changes

+ applied to fix #370396 broke this, especially for configuration files
+ created with permissions 000 by an older ninjahelper version.

+ . 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: #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: #394935)

+ 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: #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: #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: #452039).
+ pgsql:
+ . Support configuring PGSQLUSER for real, and document it a bit; this
+ broken support actually prevented pgsql handler to work for VServers
+ (Closes: #396578)
+ rdiff-backup:
+ . Added cstream support to allow for bandwidth limiting
+ . Handle "keep = yes" to disable old backups removal (Closes: #424633)

+ . Added example.rsync configuration file
+ sys:
+ . Fixed typo breaking things for VServers.
+ . Fix bug when vrootdir is on its own partition (Closes: #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: #396632)
+ . Added option to not use sfdisk at all, useful for vserver/xen instances
+ that produce warnings about no harddisks found (Closes: #404071)
+ . Fixed example in example.sys to detail the __star__ in partitionsfile and
+ note why its necessary (Closes: #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
+ 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)
+
+version 0.9.4 -- October 6th, 2006
+ 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: #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: #370396).
+ . When determining which backup actions to make, find now follows
+ symlinks for $configdirectory
+ . Changed order of -s to mail for compatibility
+ . fixed permission stat call so it uses the --format supported by
+ coreutils (Closes: #382747)
+ . Added disk space report option (thanks Adam Kosmin)
+ handler changes
+ Added tar handler:
+ . create tarballs
+ Added rsnap handler:
+ . rotated rsync snapshops
+ . code from paulv@bikkel.org
+ Added rub handler:

+ pgsql:
+ . Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
+ . Fixed su quote usage to be more posixy
+ . Fixed shell expansion, thanks Thomas Kotzian (Closes: #363297)
+ . postgres user UID is now the one from inside the vserver if necessary
+ . Compress now happens in-line to save some disk space (Closes: #370778)
+ . $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

+ . 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: #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.
+ 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)

+ programs such as PGSQLDUMP, so that users can figure
+ out more easily they can customize them

+ handler changes
+ duplicity, mysql, pgsql, rdiff, svn, sys: start to use (at different
+ degrees) new lib/vserver functionality
+ mysql:
+ . fixed no user defaults file processing
+ duplicity:
+ . fixed (again...) globbing in include and exclude options (Debian bug
+ #348022, follow-up to #338796)
+ . warn if vsnames or vsinclude is enabled while vservers support is
+ disabled in backupninja.conf
+ . now works when multiple vservers names are given (separated by space)
+ in vsnames config variable

+ ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or
+ slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method
+ is set to ldapsearch as this is safer
+ ******************************************************************
+ NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler,
+ you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
+ ******************************************************************

+ changes to duplicity handler (thanks intrigeri!):
+ "keep = yes" now disables file cleaning on desthost

+ added "encryptkey" option to specify the gpg key to use
+ split config into [source], [gpg] and [dest] sections

+ added "sshoptions" option (will be passed to ssh/scp)
+ added "bandwidthlimit" option
+ example.dup example config file for duplicity handler
+ added trac (http://trac.edgewall.com/) environment handler (thanks Charles Lepple!)
