Changes since version 1.0.34:
A bug in tarsnap 1.0.34 which could cause tarsnap to crash
(segmentation fault or bus error) when encountering network
glitches or outages is fixed.
When tarsnap encounters "insane" filesystems (procfs and other
similar synthetic filesystems which are not reasonable to
archive), it now archives the filesystem mount point but by
default does not recurse into the filesystem. Previous releases
(since 1.0.26) did not archive the synthetic filesystem mount
point.
Changes since version 1.0.33:
Tarsnap now supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Tarsnap is now more resilient against short network glitches
when it first connects to the Tarsnap server.
Tarsnap now supports platforms with mandatory structure alignment
(e.g., ARM OABI).
Tarsnap now restores terminal settings if killed with ^C while
reading a password or passphrase.
Multiple minor bug fixes and cleanups.
Changes since version 1.0.32:
- Tarsnap now caches archive metadata blocks in RAM, typically
providing a 5x - 10x speedup and reduction in bandwidth usage
in the "fsck" operation and when deleting a large number of
archives at once.
- Tarsnap's internal "chunk" metadata structure is now smaller,
providing a ~10% reduction in usage on 32-bit machines and a
~30% reduction in memory usage on 64-bit machines.
- Tarsnap's --newer* options now correctly descend into old
directories in order to look for new files. (But note that
tarsnap's snapshotting makes these options unnecessary in
most situations.)
- Multiple minor bug fixes and cleanups.
Changes since version 1.0.31:
- A bug affecting the handling of the --nodump option on Linux
(and in most cases rendering it inoperative) is fixed.
- A workaround has been added for a compiler bug in OS X 10.7 (Lion).
- The NetBSD "kernfs" and "ptyfs" filesystems are now excluded
from archival by default.
Changes since version 1.0.30:
- A race condition in key generation has been fixed which could
allow a newly-generated key file to be read by another local
user if the key file is being generated in a world-readable
directory and the user running tarsnap-keygen has a umask other
than 0066.
- A bug in key generation has been fixed which could allow a
newly-generated key file to be read by another local user
if they key file is being generated in a world-writable
directory (e.g., /tmp).
- Tarsnap now supports Minix.
- Tarsnap now ignores blank lines in key files; line-buffers
its output (which makes tarsnap --list-archives | foo more
responsive); and prints a progress indicator during tarsnap --fsck.
- Multiple minor bug fixes.
Changes since version 1.0.29:
A bug fix in the handling of readdir errors; in earlier versions,
it was theoretically possible for a failing hard drive or other
errors in reading directories to result in files being silently
omitted from an archive.
Several bug fixes relating to the handling of @archive directives
with mtree files.
A bug fix to prevent cache directory corruption resulting in
tarsnap failing if it was interrupted at exactly the right
(wrong) moment in its operation.
A bug fix to correctly handle ~ in tarsnap -s path substitutions.
Many more minor bug fixes.
