- 0.6.10 (2010-05-09):
- Fixed support of symbolic links on ntfs filesystems with ntfs3g >= 2010.3.6
- 0.6.9 (2010-05-04):
- Fix in probe: show devmapper/lvm volumes even when /dev/dm-xx does not exist
- Fixed restoration of very small archives (archive < 4K)
- Fix error handling in restoration: consider ENOSPC as a fatal error and other fixes
- Fix: remove all volumes of the archive instead of just the first one if save fails
- 0.6.8 (2010-02-20):
- Fixed compilation error on systems with recent kernel headers by including <sys/stat.h>
- Fixed critical bug: there was a risk of corruption when the archive was written on a smbfs/cifs filesystem
- 0.6.7 (2010-01-31):
- Added support for sparse files (sparse file on the original disk will be recreated as sparse file)
- Added per-archive minimum fsarchiver version requirement (MAINHEADKEY_MINFSAVERSION)
- Added dirsinfo in archives with simple files and directories to store stats required for progression
- The logfile created when option -d is used now has a specific name so that it's not overwritten
- The md5 checksums are now calculated using the implementation from libgcrypt instead of the internal one
- The libgcrypt library is now a mandatory dependency and crypto cannot be disabled any more
- Allow non root users to use "fsarchiver archinfo" as long as they have read permissions on the archive
- 0.6.6 (2010-01-24):
- Fix: don't remove the archive file when savefs/savedir fails because the archive already exists
- Partitions already mounted are remounted with MS_BIND to have access to files hidden by mounted filesystems
- Analyse filesystems only when they are all accessible to prevent having to wait and then get an error
- Moved management of data files (open/write/md5sum) from extract.c to a separate object (datafile.c)
- Important internal changes, renaming of functions/files, and simplifications for better consistency
- Rephrased and simplified messages and other improvements in fsarchiver.c (contribution from dgerman)
- Fixed potential memory error in savefs/savedir with extended attributes (bug reported by mbiebl)
- 0.6.5 (2010-01-07):
- Fixed compilation issues (pkg-config problems especially on systems with e2fsprogs < 1.41.2)
- Retry with the default level (gzip -6) when compression of a data block lacks memory with bzip2/lzma
- 0.6.4 (2010-01-03):
- Improved the manpage: documented the long options, added examples, links, ...
- Reorganized code of the archive-io thread (split archive into archreader and archwriter)
- Fixed critical bug: integer overflow for "u16 headerlen" when sum of attributes size > 65535
- Introduced new fileformat: "FsArCh_002", but old format "FsArCh_001" is also supported
- Using code from libblkid instead of complex implementation to read ntfs labels
- Switch to pkg-config in configure.ac and Makefile.am (contribution from Michael Biebl)
- 0.6.3 (2009-12-28):
- Don't fail when e2fsck returns 1 in extfs_mkfs() since it means the filesystem has been fixed
- Extended options (stride and stripe_width), max_mount_count, check_interval are now preserved for ext{2,3,4}
- Display the percentage of the operation which has been completed when verbose >= 1 (sort of progress bar)
- Display information about physical disks as well as partitions in "fsarchiver probe <mode>"
- Fixed bug with archive splitting: the split size was sometimes incorrect due to an integer overflow
- Added option "--exclude/-e <pattern>" to exclude files/dirs. It works for both archiving and extracting.
- Added support for long options (--option) using getopt_long
- Removed the dependency on "which" to find the path to a program
- Accept all libgcrypt versions >= 1.2.4 at runtime in gcry_check_version
