+Changes in release 3.2.1
+
+ * barcode are added to the tapelist file.
+ * Faster 'amadmin find', improve speed on many programs.
+ * device-output-buffer-size default to a minimum of 4*block_size.
+ * ssh auth use the client-port
+ * Bug fixed:
+ o "Can't opendata output stream: Connection refused".
+ o Better handling of dump to tape.
+ o Corrupted 'amdump' log file, amstatus not showing correct state.
+ o Execute subprocess with the config overwrite.
+ o tape-device allow to set LEOM.
+ o Crash in robot changer.
+ o Script output property are not sent to application.
+
+Changes in release 3.2.0
+
+ * Support for multiple simultaneous writes to storage devices
+ o Can write to all available drives in parallel.
+ o Works only with the new changer API.
+ o Useful if two or more volumes are used in a single run.
+ o dump direct to tape can be scheduled any time during the run,
+ previously they were done sequencially after all dump to holding disk.
+ o enabled with the new 'taper-parallel-write' configuration option.
+ * Support for LEOM in storage devices
+ o allows splitting without partial parts, saving space
+ o much more efficient, since parts need not be cached on disk in most
+ cases
+ * new, simpler splitting commands in the tapetype section:
+ part-size, part-cache-type, part-cache-dir, part-cache-max-size; see
+ amanda.conf(5) for details
+ * Amanda server configuration file changes (amanda.conf)
+ o new configuration keyword:
+ + taper-parallel-write -- How many drive amanda can write to
+ in parallel.
+ o deprecated configuration keywords:
+ + amrecover_do_fsf
+ + amrecover_check_label
+ * the CONFIG parameter to amidxtaped is now required; this means that
+ versions of amrecover older than 2.4.3 will be unable to recover from
+ servers running Amanda-3.2 and later.
+ * The new dumptype and global parameters 'recovery-limit' can be used to
+ limit which hosts may recover from a particular DLE. See amanda.conf(5)
+ and amanda-auth(7) for more information.
+ * Several old changers have been removed - these changers will work with
+ Amanda for the forseeable future, but are no longer included in the
+ distribution.
+ o chg-chio
+ o chg-chs
+ o chg-iomega
+ o chg-juke
+ o chg-mcutil
+ o chg-mtx
+ o chg-null (use the new "chg-null:")
+ o chg-rait (use the new "chg-rait:{dev1,dev2}")
+ o chg-rth
+ o chg-scsi-chio
+ o chg-scsi
+ * Amdump change:
+ o new '--no-taper' option to start the run in degraded mode
+ * Amvault is much improved, but still experimental:
+ o supports assembling split parts on the source volume and re-splitting
+ them on the destination
+ o supports filtering dumps with the same syntax as amfetchdump
+ o a --fulls-only option skips all incremental dumps on the source
+ o an --export option tries to move tertiary volumes to import/export
+ slots when completed
+ o command-line syntax has changed incompatibly; see manpage or
+ 'amvault --help'
+ * Rewritten and improved:
+ o amoverview
+ o amcheckdump
+
+Changes in release 3.1.0
+
+ * Deprecated old changers; see amanda-changers(7) for replacements. These
+ changers are still available in the distribution, but will be removed in a
+ future release.
+ o chg-null
+ o chg-zd-mtx
+ o chg-rait
+ o chg-disk
+ o chg-multi
+ * Although chg-zd-mtx is still supported, we recommend that all users upgrade
+ to the more efficient chg-robot. See contrib/convert-zd-mtx-to-robot.sh
+ for a useful conversion script.
+ * Amanda server configuration file changes (amanda.conf)
+ o deprecated configuration keywords:
+ + label_new_tapes
+ o keywords deprecated in 2.6.1:
+ + rawtapedev
+ + tapebufs
+ + file-pad
+ o new configuration keyword
+ + autolabel -- replace label_new_tapes
+ + columnspec -- can specify a precision.
+ + order -- in script, to specify script order execution.
+ + client_port -- in dumptype, to specify which port to connect on
+ the client.
+ + estimate -- in dumptype, can specify multiple estimate method.
+ o accept 'define' keyword for defining an holdingdisk
+ * Amanda client configuration file changes (amanda-client.conf)
+ o new configuration keyword
+ + debug_days -- how many days to keep debug files.
+ + client_port -- use by amrecover, specify which port to connect on
+ the server.
+ * Removed compile-time default --with-changer-device: specify a device
+ explicitly in amanda.conf instead
+ * amtape behavior has changed:
+ o 'device' subcommand removed
+ o 'slot advance' subcommand removed
+ o 'update' subcommand no longer displays each slot as it is updated, and
+ is not supported by all changers
+ o taperscan output has changed
+ o new 'inventory' subcommand
+ * amrmtape rewrite
+ o use long option
+ + --changer -- Specify which changer to use
+ + --cleanup -- Remove logs and indexes associated with label
+ + --dryrun -- do not update the original copies.
+ + --erase -- Attempt to erase the data contained on the volume
+ + --keep-label -- Do not remove label from the tapelist
+ + --quiet -- Opposite of --verbose
+ + --verbose -- List backups of hosts and disks that are being
+ discarded.
+ * amdevcheck
+ o new --label option.
+ o new --properties option.
+ * Device API
+ o changed wildcard setting for S3_BUCKET_LOCATION from "" to "*"
+ o new 'ndmp:' device to write to a tape on an ndmp server.
+ o new 'dvdrw:' device to write to a dvd drive.
+ * Application API
+ o new properties to many applications
+ o amgtar
+ + new ACLS, SELINUX and XATTRS properties
+ o amsamba
+ + Allow '\' in diskname and amandapass.
+ + new ALLOW-ANONYMOUS property.
+ o new applications:
+ + ampgsql -- Backup PostgreSQL using continuous WAL archiving
+ + amsuntar -- Backup filesytem with the SUN tar
+ + amraw -- Backup only one directory entry
+ * New taper, with DirectTCP support, changed tape and catalog format:
+ o all dumpfiles are now F_SPLIT_DUMPFILE
+ o all on-tape dumpfiles have numparts=-1, since it's no longer possible
+ to calculate this value in advance
+ o there is no logging or reporting of zero-byte, successful parts (this
+ may cause gaps in filenums in the catalog)
+ * Redesigned amreport
+ o much more natural command-line interface (just run 'amreport $config')
+ o experimental XML output
+ * configuration override for dumptype works with inheritance.
+
+Changes in release 2.6.1p2
+ * amtapetype: new -p option
+ * Bugs fixed
+ o S3 device driver
+ o amcheckdump
+ o file not removed from holding disk
+ o sendbackup compatibility with a 2.4.2 server
+ o handle EROFS error from tape device.
+ o zfs snapshot name us the diskname.
+ o fix fd allocation in amandad
+ o crash in amflush
