<FONT COLOR="#99CCFF">2012-01-27: burp-1.3.1 is released.
70
Changes in burp-1.3.1:
71
* EFS support on Windows.
72
* Move to using mingw-w64 for both 32bit and 64bit Windows builds.
73
* Add 'exclude_fs =' option for Linux so that you can skip partitions
74
types (for example, tmpfs) without generating warnings.
75
* If recovery method 'resume' is set, but the includes/excludes change,
76
switch to 'use', then start a new backup.
77
* In the tests, check to see whether it looks like the server has finished
78
the backup before moving on, rather than just waiting a set amount of time.
79
* Add man pages for bedup and burp_ca.
80
* Remove embedded uthash code. It will need to be installed as a dependency.
81
For example, in Debian, you might run 'apt-get install uthash-dev'.
82
* Add Bas van den Dikkenberg's tweaks for getting burp into official Debian
83
and Ubuntu repositories. Burp is now in debian sid and ubuntu precise.
84
* Make the server tell the client what extra_comms features it supports, so
85
that, in future, old servers are more likely to work with new clients.
86
* Improve 'make clean'.
87
* Add option to strip off leading path components on restore.
88
* Fix segfault that was happening on the server when SSL_accept() failed.
89
* Move burp and bedup to /usr/sbin (you need to check that any cron jobs
90
are pointing there too).
91
* Moved list of things to do to https://github.com/grke/burp/issues

159
Changes in burp-1.2.0:
160
* Improvements to the counters and status monitor - remember the phase1
161
scan counters for later phases to use for things like estimated times.
162
* Add 'working_dir_recovery_method = resume' option, which continues a
163
backup from the point it was interrupted.
164
* Add a useful message about options when run with '-h' or '-?'.
165
* Get the client to pass its version to the server. The minimum version the
166
client needs to be is now this release.
167
* Get the server to warn when the client is on a different version.
168
* Put the number of warnings in the subject of the notification emails.
169
* Allow config file location to be changed via configure (Michael Roland's
171

172
* Uncomment the reload lines in the Debian init script.
173
* Add logrotate file for Debian.
174
* Add ability to send a regular snapshot of the status summary screen in an
175
email ("daily backup summary" feature).
176
* Add simple 'exclude_ext =' feature.
177
* Add Windows 7 bare metal restore instructions.

201
inherited from bacula. Just call all the functions directly.

260

IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM AN OLDER VERSION OF BURP:
360
a) Your previous backups will no longer work, due to changes in the
361
manifest files. You will also need to move old backups aside in order to
362
continue to make new backups.
363
b) Your old config files will need some fields to do with SSL added to them.
364
See the man page and the examples in the 'configs' directory for help.
366
IMPORTANT FOR MY ENCOURAGEMENT AND THE FUTURE OF BURP:
367
If you have tried burp, I really want to hear from you to find out what
368
you like about it, what you don't like, what new features you would like,
369
how you have been using it, whether it has helped you, or anything that
370
you would like to tell me. I am currently working in the dark!
