sbackup (0.11.6)
* Add XFCE4 to list of supported desktop environments to enable status
indicator on xfce4
* [Fix] LP: #1174124 Catch invalid path selections to avoid TypeErrors
when coercing to Unicode. Replace FileChooserButton with text entry
to avoid problems when selecting destination paths.
* [Fix] LP: #1159705 set default setting for log level as string, not as
integer in order to fix a KeyError if no log level is defined in config
file. Also make sure, a string is processed when setting GUI widgets
using the log level value.
* [Fix] LP: #1190224 Restore behaviour of GioOperations.path_exists.
This caused a regression which let the backup fail.
* merge fix for bug 632605. Thanks to Mascha

sbackup (0.11.5)
* translations updated
* [Fix] LP: #1000171 make it backwards compatible because upgrade-backups
is incredibly slow and not reliable:
added restore utility which provides legacy support
using the 0.10.5 algorithm. Command must be
executed from terminal: 'sbackup-legacy-restore
BACKUP_PATH FILE_OR_DIR_TO_RESTORE [TARGET_DIR]'
or for more ease of use with GTK gui:
'sbackup-legacy-restore --gui'.
* remove 'backup upgrade' feature and 'rebase snapshot' feature since it
is not reliable and can cause severe user data loss
* [Fix] LP: #1097465 Regular expressions defined in default configuration
can be improved:
-do not exclude specific types of files e.g. mp3, avi
-fix regex for .gvfs, trash, cache etc. so these apply
to 'top-level' directories
-add a default regex for lock directories
(e.g. $HOME/.mozilla/lock)
-add a default regex for $HOME/.cache directory
* [Fix] LP: #785512 Backup files are not protect from local user access:
make the snapshot directories RWX only by owner
(existing snapshots are not affected by this fix).
* Apply patch from Simon Déziel to make the temp directory
RWX only by owner instead of by all. (LP: #785495)
* [Fix] LP: #330680 fails if target path contains #:
fixed by not allowing fragments when parsing target
path and using quote/unquote to escape # properly
(FIXME: this fix does not cover target paths containing
special chars ; or ?)
* [Fix] LP: #980786 Don't complain about non-accessable excluded files:
order of checks when inspecting file system revised. It
is now first checked whether a file is excluded before
it is actually accessed.
Thanks for Bernd Wurst for the suggestion.
* [Fix] LP: #670646 sbackup-gtk crashes while starting: invalid literal
for int():
ignore ValueError from urlparse when parsing port
* [Fix] LP: #888367 TypeError: argument of type 'int' is not iterable:
Try to fix type error by not using interpolation when
getting items From ConfigParser.
* [Fix] LP: #173490 Pre/Post backup script hooks:
applied patch suggested by Derek Ditch
* [Fix] LP: #918099 System menu names should include 'admin' or similar:
applied patch suggested by Anton (feenstra)
* [Fix] LP: #875634 sbackup's tar very slow due to erroneous backup size
calculation:
Sometimes the calculation of the space required goes
badly wrong and we could end-up With _checkp=1 for
30GB to save, making tar VERY slow.
Fixed by setting minimum value to 100. Thanks to
Thibault Godouet for the patch.
* added exception handling in case of not implemented
'attach_to_status_icon' method (e.g. Debian Wheezy)
* [Fix] LP: #768080 incremental snapshots store more files than needed:
add TAR option '--no-check-device'. Thanks to
Rogach (platon7pronko) and Felix Griewald (tiiunder)
for the patch.
* Correctly set package format to 3.0 (quilt). Thanks to Marc Deslauriers.
