+Changes in release 2.5.0p2

+
+Changes in release 2.5.0
+
+* Communication security/authentication: Kerberos 4/5, OpenSSH
+* Data security: Symmetric/Assymetric encrytion algorithms (aesutil
+ and gpg encryption), Encryption can be done on server or client,
+ Custom encryption utilities can be used.
+* Compression: Ability to add custom compression tools. This is a
+ really useful feature especially since it can specified for a DLE. You
+ can use different compression algorithm for images, binaries, ascii files
+ and so on.
+* Dump images spanning multiple media volumes - Dump images are no
+ longer restricted to a single media volume (tape or vtape). Data restoration
+ can be done using amrecover and amfetchdump commands.
+* Auto tape labelling - This optional feature is good for disk backups.
+
+Change in release 2.4.5p1
+
+* New [--days <num>] argument to 'amadmin <conf> tape'.
+* New amoverview -last -num0 -togo0 options.
+
+Change in release 2.4.5
+
+* new displayunit global option to select the unit use to display number
+ k=kilo, m=mega, g=giga, t=tera.
+* new amoverview -skipmissed option.
+
+Change in release 2.4.5b1
+
+* holding disk disk use timestamped directory.
+* autoflush flush today's dump.
+* new bumppercent global option, this should improve bumping criteria,
+ the bumpsize is set to a fixed value which can be adequate for small
+ and large disk.
+* bumpsize, bumppercent, bumpdays and bumpmult can be in a dumptype.
+* calcsize support include and exclude like gnutar.
+* new 'estimate' dumptype option to select estimate type:
+ CLIENT: estimate by the dumping program.
+ CALCSIZE: estimate by the calcsize program, a lot faster but less acurate.
+ SERVER: estimate based on statistic from previous run, take second but
+ can be wrong on the estimate size.

Changes in release 2.4.4p3
* new chg-iomega changer script.
* new autoflush option.
* new dumperstr option to specify the priority order of each dumper.
-Changes in release 2.4.2p2
+Changes in release 2.4.2
-* Mostly bug fixes.
* Samba passwords are now sent to smbclient via a pipe and never displayed.
-* Amrecover should now work with xfsrestore.
-* Amrecover no longer binds an incorrect port that resulted in connection
- failures on some systems.
* Debug files in /tmp/amanda (--with-debug-dir) are now timestamped and old
ones automatically cleaned out. This means more space (a few KBytes) will
be used since in a given run, several of the programs are called more than
be lost by the file being overwritten. The length of time to keep the
files is controlled by --with-debug-days (default: 4). The old flag
--with-pid-debug-files is no longer needed and is ignored.
-* updated chg-zd-mtx.sh.in changer.
-
-Changes in release 2.4.2p1
-
-* Bugs fix release, the most annoying one is that amanda could retry
- the same filesystem indefinitely if it is larger than the holding
- disk but the estimate was smaller.
-
-Changes in release 2.4.2
-
* dumptypes can be specialized in the disklist file
* Amanda will never use more space than specified (use) for an holding
disk
* new force-bump, force-no-bump and unforce-bump command in amadmin.
* Increased the maximum number of filesystems that can be backed up
from a single host, by increasing the maximum UDP request packet
- size
+ size.
* A new `dtimeout' keyword in amanda.conf to replace the READ_TIMEOUT
constant in dumper.c.
* A new `ctimeout' keyword in amanda.conf to replace the CHECK_TIMEOUT
