====================== CHANGES: arnie ====================== Current ------- - Applied bug fixes for Windows and binary files from Steve Scully. - Applied more fixes from Steve Scully: * Remote hosts are now limited to more than one characters. This allows Windows paths that include a drive-letter to be used as a destination path. * Compare the files in binary mode. Using text-mode on binary files may result in incomplete comparisons due to the presence of an EOF character in the stream. - Added patch from Steve Scully for Windows archive names. Version 1.2: (minor features release) ------------------------------------- - Fixed minor bugs (did not cause a loss of data) with symlinks and empty files that were annoying, they were due to the file sizes and would cause empty files to always be sent (that's in the 1.2 version). - Added more tests. - Added a dry-run option to the archive script. - Added storing uid and gid in arnie history file, but we're not checking changes in those yet. Adding the values in the file opens up the possibility for making those checks in the future. - Fixed a bug when attempting to back up the root directory / (credits to Uche Ogbuji for notifying of the problem). - Added an option to disregard the MD5 sums for large files (Uche Ogbuji's idea). - Added the file size to the format of the history file. Version 1.1: (minor features release) ------------------------------------- - Support for symlinks, symlinks to directories and non-existing symlinks (submitted Harry Flink , new tests add by blais) - Print out the archive size in verbose mode. This is useful when running from a crontab, you can check the amount of bytes transferred in the log file or log email. Version 1.0: (initial release) ------------------------------ - Initial release, including tests, most features and documentation.
