Changes: ======== 2010-06-25 Version 1.3.3 Fixed: If an index of an existing backup set was missing, the scanning operation produced an error (baseName must not be null). 2010-06-21 Version 1.3.2 Fixed: Clean-up settings could not be saved, if last backups was checked as the only element (which in fakt makes no sense, because no backups would be deleted). Fixed: Directory includes now work as expected. To include a special directory and it's subdirectories one has to add "\*" to the directory name. Changed: The log file now uses also UTF-8 encoding instead of the system-locale encoding in order to avoid encoding problems on unicode file names. Added: Check. if two source directories have the same name. 2010-04-21 Version 1.3.1 Fixed: Settings are now upgraded from previous versions, so e.g. smtp settings must not be reentered in the options dialog. Fixed: 64-Bit-Operating System detection did not work always (for auto-update). Fixed: Program-Close-Countdown-Dialog caused system to hang after countdown. 2010-04-17 Version 1.3.0 Fixed: EMail-Notification only on error was not saved to rdb-file and so did not work correctly. Fixed: Tray icon did not disappear from task bar, when application finished. Fixed: Tab-Order and mnemonics for all dialogs. Fixed: German translations. Added: New clean-up-rule: Keep last n backup sets. Added: Extended settings for SMTP-set-up. Added also a 'e-mail-test'-butten, that sends a test e-mail to check smtp settings. Added: Options dialog now shows a list of all scheduled backups of this computer. The scheduled backups can be selected and the scheduling can be removed. 2010-04-14 Version 1.2.0 Fixed: Exception thrown when clicked on the empty backup sets listbox Fixed: Errors that occured on removing backup sets were not logged correctly and lead to errors on the summary page Fixed: Could not remove read-only directories in clean-up backup sets Fixed: If checked for new versions on option dialog, the ok-message also occured if the update was denied by the used Fixed: Version check algorithm also was providing version if version in web was older than the installed (normally should only occure on my system...) Changed: Reworked the clean-up-settings and the clean-up-algorithm completely Changed: If a backup fails (an unexpected error occurred), the backup is renamed using a starting '~' in the name. So this directory must be deleted manually and will not be used on the next backup for compare. Added: Auto-Update now supports x64 and x86 platforms. On x64 installations, automatically the 64bit-Installer is choosen. However; because the updater itself must be installed, this works first time for the next update. Added: Show tooltip on backupsets-listbox with more information about the backupset, including a description for backupsets that are marked to be removed. Added: Display progress on Windows 7 Taskbar Added: Tray-Icon and options to minimize RsyncBackup to the tray icon. The tray icon shows the progress on scanning (green) and copying (red/brown) as long as messages via balloon tips. Added: Full silent mode: use option "-silent" as start parameter to start RsyncBackup minimized to the tray icon. On startup with silent mode, no automatic update checks will be done (ignoring the option for automatic auto-update in options panel). Optionally balloon tips can be hidden and access to RsyncBackup or to cancel backup can be disabled. In silent mode the backup is startet automatically and the application exits after the countdown time, if not opened. Added: Scheduling page for easy scheduling of a (saved) backup definition. Scheduled backups will always start in silent mode. Added: Notification page to define success notifications after backup has completed. Added: E-Mail-Notification support. Settings for smtp-server and account information must be made via the options dialog. Added: Options to set the countdown for automatically close the application and for the system shutdown. 2010-03-09 Version 1.1.3 Fixed: DTD was not updated, so reading of RBD's with the new hour-attribute failed 2010-03-09 Version 1.1.2 Fixed: Could not clean-up backups that contain read-only files Fixed: Clean-up-algorithm deleted always the newest instead of the oldest backup Fixed: Now can handle hard-links with too long path names correctly Added: New-Button to create a new backup definition Added: New time-interval 'hourly' for clean-up-rules Added: New text that describes the time span for the clean-up-rule 2010-03-07 Version 1.1.1 Fixed: Major bug that caused that the backup-options of RBD-files without clean-up-rules were not read correctly. Fixed: Size-Problem with the second Spin-Box for a Cleanup-Rule. Fixed: Incorrect display of the application URI on the start-up splash screen Fixed: German resources were sometimes only visible for the German/Germany-Locale. Changed: The backup directory is now scanned on validation rather than on key press. Added: A check will be done, if we can create a file on the target drive. If the target drive cannot be written, an error message will be displayed. Added: New Options-Dialog. Added: Application Option: Now the user can choose, if RsyncBackup should check for updates on start-up. 2010-03-04 Version 1.1.0 Added: Support for a Backup-Set-Name Added: Option for automatic clean-up of old backup sets. Added a new tab to configure clean-up rules. Backupsets to be removed are marked red. Changed: Memory consumption - in previous versions parts of the file-list-view were created while scanning to improve performance on showing the scond page. But in very large backups (>1 million files) this wastes memory never needed, because often backups will be automatically and skip the second page. So this is a first optimization (more will come). Added: A check will be done, if the backup drive does support hard-links, if this option is used. If the backup-drive does not support hard-links, an error message occures. 2010-01-28 Version 1.0.3 Fixed: Display of infinite remaining time is now indicated as 'unknown' time. 2010-01-16 Version 1.0.2 Fixed: Infinite loop when reading an empty rbi file. Added: Now checks, if all source directories are existing and shows an error message if not 2009-12-03 Version 1.0.1 Fixed: Close Program Option can get lost when saving to RBD-file. 2009-11-30 Version 1.0.0 Fixed: Error message when no backup drive can be found. Fixed: "Next"-Button on first page now is enabled, even if the backup target directory is not existing. Fixed: Can read backup definitions that do not contain a target directory. Fixed: Installer forgot to copy parts of localized resources Added: New Option, that closes RsyncBackup after the backup is finished. 2009-06-26 Version 0.13.0 Fixed: Layout problems on some wizard pages Fixed: Localization problems of the update and shutdown dialogs. 2009-06-16 Version 0.12.0 Changed: Removed the "base directory" of a source directory and replaced it with an name. The new name attribute will be used at the backup target to specify the backed-up source directory. If backslashed are used, subdirectories will be created. The default value is the name of the source directory to backup. Changed: All directory-filters now do NOT have to include the name (or relative path from the base directory) in their names! To have directory-filter working in this version, remove the name (the relative path from base directory to the source directory) from the directory filters. Fixed: If there are many existing backup sets, a scrollbar was hiding the list of backup sets the backup settings information panel. 2009-04-08 Version 0.11.0 Added: Progress bar now flashed red, if an error occured Fixed: Automatic Backup option now works (WizardController now can handle navigation on page initialize) Fixed: German translation on Summary page Fixed: Bug, that incorrctly interprets the versionnumber at ApplicationVersion.xml Changed: New method calculating the remaining time 2009-03-23 Version 0.10.0 Fixed: Installer issues 2009-03-21 Version 0.9.643 Added: Scan-, Backup- and Run-Options can now be stored at the RBD-file Added: If target directiory is contains files, a question shows up and directory can be cleared Added: Log now includes time for scan and backup Added: Window-title displays RBD-file and progress Fixed: Massive performance-Improvement on scanning and backup Fixed: Backward-navigation now fully supported Fixed: RsyncBackup did not close when updating a new version Fixed: Flickering of percentage value of progress on progress bars Changed: renamed file-index to "index.rbi" (instead of "fileindex.xml") 2009-03-15 Version 0.8.3 Fixed: Shut-down problem: Now RsyncBackup waits for cancel scan or backup before shutting down Fixed: Progressbar on backup Fixed: Link-script format Added: File index funktionality: a file "fileindex.xml" is created along backing up or scanning existing backups. This fileindex is read instead of scanning exiting backup directories. This speeds up scanning significantely. 2009-03-08 Version 0.8.2 Added: Online update functionality. 2009-03-01 Version 0.8.1 Initial version.
