rAPA 2.2.11 released

rAPA 2.2.11 is a maintenance release.

  • Fixed a bug in readSchedule, which could cause the UpdateTroves plugin to become unusable if the schedule for automatic update checks was changed or disabled. (RAA-900)
  • Encrypted backups now have encryption info stored in their backup properties in the raa database (RAA-1705)
  • When the backup archive creation process fails, more specific errors are now sent back to the user. (RAA-1708)
  • Calls to XML-RPC functions will now advance the Wizard when appropriate. (RAA-1710)
  • getBackupMetadata now unmounts the backup location before returning. (RAA-1711)
  • Network locations are no longer bind mounted when a mount already exists. Among other benefits, this prevents the backup plugin from improperly validating incorrect user credentials for a backup location (RAA-1712)
  • the SetTimeZone plugin now accepts either commas or spaces as separators in the ntp server list. (RAA-1713)
  • raadb is no longer created as world-readable. (RAA-1714)
  • Fixed a bug which could cause backups to fail if a temporary file was removed after being added to the backup file list. (RAA-1718)
  • Several possible exceptions in plugins which use "callBackend" are now handled more gracefully. (RAA-1719)
  • Fixed a bug which could cause the raa-service to die due to an unhandled exception in the listener thread. (RAA-1721)
  • The backup encryption feature relies on PyCrypto which may provide a faulty SHA-256 implementation; this feature now uses a module provided by Conary which consistently matches the previous behavior even on platforms with a correct SHA-256 implementation. (RAA-1723)
  • the backup properties in the raa database now store the correct top-level group information for each backup. (RAA-1728)
