Note: this creates only one level. + +Dropped ssh-command and added ssh-options to allow users +to add options to the scp and sftp commmands. + +Removed use of tempfile.TemporaryFile(). This fixes the +restore problem on Windows that was due to Python bug +1776696 reported on Sourceforge. + +Fixed Debian Bug#437694: Make bzip2 compression optional. +The default is not to do bzip2 compression. To use bzip2 +add the following command line option: +--gpg-options='--compress-algo=bzip2 --bzip2-compress-level=9' +Note: do not add spaces in the string value. + +Fixed bug 20764 - unable to use port in ssh backend. +https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?20764 + +Remove ssh_command option, add ssh_options. This adds +options to the scp and sftp commands that are used by +the ssh backend. + +Change ssh backend to send 'quit' instead of EOF when +using sftp. This allows it to run under cron as long +as the password is supplied non-interactively. + +Change ssh backend to not pass :port part of URL to +scp or sftp. We already supply -oPort=xx for port. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC12 (2007/08/09) +------------------------------- +Fix index out of range in Bug 20730, triggered when there +is only one incremental in the list. +https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?20730 + +Changed the file:, ftp:, and ssh: backends so that +the target directory will be created at start. + +Changed the ftp: backend so that empty target dirs +do not error out. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC11 (2007/07/20) +------------------------------- +Duplicity is now covered under GPL version 3 (or later). + +Duplicity now correctly processes scp URL's of the form: + scp://user@host[:port]/ +where the directory spec is empty. This fixes a bug where the +user could not write into the home directory on the target. + +The SSH/SCP backend has had an overhaul. It now requires the +python-pexpect module. Normally this can be obtained from your +distro's repository, but if you want, you can download pexpect +from http://pexpect.sourceforge.net. + +The SSH/SCP backend work was done to allow the user to use password +authentication rather than public-key. You may now enter a password, +either through the FTP_PASSWORD environment variable, or at the +console. To activate this feature you will need to use the option +--ssh-askpass on the command line. The default is public-key, which +does *not* look for a password from either source. + +Various fixes to the man page for --ssh-askpass, --remove-older-than, +and --archive-dir. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC10 (2007/07/14) +------------------------------- +Add support for: + --ftp-passive, + --ftp-regular + +Removed -m option on FTP put command. This means that the remote +directory must exist prior to backup. + +Changed ftpBackend from -f option back to commandline. Various +versions of ncftp* interact differently when both -f and commandline +options are supplied. + +The FTP password is munged in all log operations. + +Added logging of filenames in the bucket when -v9 is used on +Amazon S3. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC9 (2007/07/09) +------------------------------ +Change to a max block size of 2048 bytes for rsync difference buffer. +This may slow things down for truly large files, but will give much +smaller deltas on files with numerous small changes, such as database +files. + +New S3 backend, Boto, from Eric Evans, replaces bitBucket. Boto can +be obtained from http://code.google.com/p/boto/. I did not make this +a requirement for setup since its not in the normal repositories. + +New FTP backend from Thorsten Schnebeck that uses ncftp instead of +Pythons ftplib. This seems to be much more solid. I added the -f +option with a secure temp file to contain host, user, and password, +rather than having them on the command line. I also added the -m +option to the put command to create the target directory and the -t +option to make sure it times out if there is a network problem. + +The Backend class now contains a popen_persist function that acts like +run_command_persist. Both use the new num_retries global. + +Added a commandline option, '--num-retries=', to set the number +of retries. The default is 5. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC8 (2007/06/27) +------------------------------ +Bug 20282 - Thomas Tuttle: +An out of range index when checking past history in the backup +sets caused a failure when trying to access later. + +Bug 20149 - dAniel hAhler: +dAniel submitted a second patch for this for further cleanup. +The new patch prefers the latest intact backup set. + +Bug 20039 - Andreas Schildbach: --and-- +Patch 6030 - Alexander Zangerl : +Duplicity now uses bzip2 for compression. This matches the way +the Debian distribution handles it. I'll think about adding an +option to override later, if its needed. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC7 (2007/06/19) +------------------------------ +Bug 20179 - dAniel hAhler: +When errors cause login to fail in FTP, reset and try again. + +Patch 6015 -dAniel hAhler: +Better display of traceback when ftpBackend errors out. + +Patch 6029 - Alexander Zangerl : +http://bugs.debian.org/370206 +archive-dir together with incremental backup results in crash. the +patch is simple, the code in 0.4.2 did attempt to access strings as +objects. +Patch 6031 - Alexander Zangerl : +http://bugs.debian.org/369971 +there's some problems with unattended encrypted dumps, if the user +doesn't want to hand duplicity the gpg passphrase and attempts to work +around this by using a local archive dir. the patch makes it look at +a manifest in a local archive dir if gpg doesn't manage to decrypt a +remote one (no surprise without a passphrase). + +Patch 6032 - Alexander Zangerl : +a new feature patch: i've recently gotten annoyed with having +gazillions of 5mb files and therefore added a --volsize option to +allow the user setting the chunk size. the patch is simple and +contains a manpage update as well. + +Patch 6033 - Alexander Zangerl : +let's add a --help terse usage message and don't just direct the user +to the manual. this should come handy if somebody needs to restore +stuff without having the manual available. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC6 (2007/06/13) +------------------------------ +Bug 20149 - dAniel hAhler: When errors cause an incomplete backup set, +flag the error with a message, rather than erroring out. The user +then knows to run --cleanup. + +Patch 5998 - Kuang-che Wu: Cache uid and gid lookup to speed +operations. + +Patch 5993 - daacyy302@sneakemail.com: Make Amazon S3 backend +incrementally more robust for recovery. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC5 (2007/06/04) +------------------------------ +GnuPG fails when trying to access stdin on an empty passphrase. +Changes allow empty passphrase on public-key encryption and now +respond gracefully on empty passphrase for symmetric encryption. + +dAniel hAhler submitted a patch to change "Error initializing file +foo" (log level 2), where foo was a socket, to "Skipping socket foo" +(log level 7). https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?5985 + +Change logging to flush after every write, unbuffering stdout and +stderr, thus producing logs that are coherent. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC4 (2007/06/02) +------------------------------ +More fixes on FTP. dAniel hAhler supplied a new patch for FTP that +cleans up the error handling and reduces the retry time to zero on the +first retry. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC3 (2007/05/31) +------------------------------ +Fixed connection problem in FTP where it was not quitting on +connection reset and just logging in again. This created many stale +logins on the remote system. + +Changed attribution of a couple of patches to dAniel hAhler, who +actually wrote the patches, not just found them. + + +New in v0.4.3.RC2 (2007/05/30) +------------------------------ +Fixed bug in tarfile.py that was causing ValueError exception.
