create the directory /etc/burp/CA-client.
* Make compile succeed when there is no libncurses library.
* Add 'client_can_force_backup' option, defaulted to on. Turning it off means

Changes in burp-1.3.2:
* Add options for the client to automatically generate a certificate signing

in the given extension.
* Fall back to using the client or server name if ssl_peer_cn is unset on the
server or client.
* Don't try to chuser/chgrp in the child if the user/group settings are the
same as the parent (fixes bug where setting user/group in the server
wouldn't work, because it would try to chuser/chgrp twice).
* Windows installer: add comment about poll interval '0' means that the
scheduled job isn't installed.
* Windows installer: don't install the scheduled task when doing an upgrade.
* Unlock the client directory after server_script_post has run instead of
before.

script.

a gui that browses backup contents).
* Bug fixes to ssl_extra_checks_script.
* Bug fix: initialise network_timeout properly.
* Fix typos in docs/burp_ca.txt.
* Add 'export LANG=C' to the timer script, so that timer_arg days are always
expected in English.

Changes in burp-1.3.1:
* EFS support on Windows.
* Move to using mingw-w64 for both 32bit and 64bit Windows builds.

types (for example, tmpfs) without generating warnings.
* If recovery method 'resume' is set, but the includes/excludes change,
switch to 'use', then start a new backup.
* In the tests, check to see whether it looks like the server has finished
the backup before moving on, rather than just waiting a set amount of time.
* Add man pages for bedup and burp_ca.
* Remove embedded uthash code. It will need to be installed as a dependency.
For example, in Debian, you might run 'apt-get install uthash-dev'.
* Add Bas van den Dikkenberg's tweaks for getting burp into official Debian
and Ubuntu repositories. Burp is now in debian sid and ubuntu precise.

that, in future, old servers are more likely to work with new clients.
* Improve 'make clean'.
* Add option to strip off leading path components on restore.
* Fix segfault that was happening on the server when SSL_accept() failed.
* Move burp and bedup to /usr/sbin (you need to check that any cron jobs
are pointing there too).

properly.
* Fix rounding problem in remaining time estimation in the status monitor.

* Add 'allow autoupgrade' option to a second screen on the Windows installer.
* Add 'max_storage_subdirs' option, and default it to 30000.

produce, and exit.
* Let backups carry on when files cannot be opened.
* Spot Windows EFS directories and files and warn about them.

be backed up, and prints counters, without contacting the server.
* Strip out 744 lines of unused Windows code.
* Fix possible segfault when backup directory forward paths don't match.
* Removed working_dir_recovery_method=merge. Use 'resume' instead.
* Add a flexible way of passing new fields from the client to the server so
that clients are less likely to have to upgrade.
2011-11-26: burp-1.2.5 is released.
Changes in burp-1.2.5:
* IMPORTANT: Fixed critical path comparison typo bug. If you have been using
1.2.4 either as a server or as a client, you need to upgrade
immediately! Backups made with 1.2.4 should be treated as suspicious.
* Add a 'max_file_size' option.
* Store windows file attributes in a separate field to the standard unix ones.
2011-11-22: burp-1.2.4 is released.

'keep' option in the man page.
* Make sure the client version warning message appears in the backup log.
* Network send rate-limiting feature (both client and server).

scan counters for later phases to use for things like estimated times.
* Add 'working_dir_recovery_method = resume' option, which continues a
backup from the point it was interrupted.
* Add a useful message about options when run with '-h' or '-?'.
* Get the client to pass its version to the server. The minimum version the
client needs to be is now this release.
* Get the server to warn when the client is on a different version.

IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM AN OLDER VERSION OF BURP:
a) Your previous backups will no longer work, due to changes in the
manifest files. You will also need to move old backups aside in order to
continue to make new backups.
b) Your old config files will need some fields to do with SSL added to them.
See the man page and the examples in the 'configs' directory for help.
IMPORTANT FOR MY ENCOURAGEMENT AND THE FUTURE OF BURP:
If you have tried burp, I really want to hear from you to find out what
you like about it, what you don't like, what new features you would like,
how you have been using it, whether it has helped you, or anything that
you would like to tell me. I am currently working in the dark!
