v3.3-rc1

Some major changes in this version:

• Mounting is now more consistent after initial dataset transfer: Previously newly received datasets would never be mounted. In this version a dataset will be mounted according to the same logic as a zfs mount -a. #112 Also see https://github.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup/wiki/Mounting
• Empty parent datasets that are created will now have canmount=off. Previously they would be created with on.
• The guid of common snapshots is now checked, and mismatching ones can be destroyed by --destroy-incompatible. (#218)
• --rollback is now only run at the start of an actual transfer. #217 (previously all target datasets where rolled back always when --rollback was specified)
• #264: Snapshot exclude patterns
• Reduced verbosity and improved output.
• A bunch of other bugfixes and improvements.

Note that we now have a v3.4 branch that has some major internal improvements to prepare for bookmarks and other features. Please test that version as well if you're daring :)

v3.2.2

New in v3.2:

• --help output is split up in nice sections now.
• Moved documentation to wiki and split it up.
• Allow non-recursive selection of datasets by setting autobackup:name=parent. (usefull for /var/lib/docker)
• Some major internal class restructuring. (shouldn't affect functionality)

New tools, still in progress:

• zfs-check: a tool to generate checksum streams of zfs datasets, to compare datasets with eachother. (Will be used in conjuction with zfs-autoverify) This still has issue #176 and #206
• Note that zfs-check can also be used on regular directories or files
• Prepared for zfs-autoverify tool to actually verify your backups. (this took some refactoring and extracting common code to a ZfsAuto baseclass) Still work in progress.

v3.2-beta1

New in v3.2 so far:

• --help output is split up in nice sections now.
• Moved documentation to wiki and split it up.
• Created zfs-check, a tool to generate checksum streams of zfs datasets, to compare datasets with eachother. (Will be used in conjuction with zfs-autoverify)
• Started working on an zfs-autoverify tool to actually verify your backups. (this took some refactorring and extracting common code to a ZfsAuto baseclass) Still work in progress.
• Allow non-recursive selection of datasets by setting autobackup:name=parent. (usefull for /var/lib/docker)

v3.1.3

This release fixes #153 .

Important if you have >255 datasets and rely on the exit code.

v3.1.2

• Better strip path handling and collision checking. Now also support stripping so much it ends up on a pool-target. Fixes #102 and #117 .
• Strip-path mistakes should result in a much clearer error now.
• Added --force option (zfs recv -F) to allow 1:1 replication.

v3.2-alpha2

• --help output is split up in nice sections now.
• Moved documentation to wiki and split it up.
• Created zfs-check, a tool to generate checksum streams of zfs datasets, to compare datasets with eachother. (Will be used in conjuction with zfs-autoverify)

v3.2-alpha1

(This alpha release is just to allow me to test it with real world data, dont use it)

• --help output is split up in nice sections now.
• Moved documentation to wiki and split it up.
• Started working on an zfs-autoverify tool to actually verify your backups. (this took some refactorring and extracting common code to a ZfsAuto baseclass) Still work in progress.
