Options passed to mysqldump are now customizable with the new - sqldumpoptions configuration variable. Thanks to Chris Lamb for his - preliminary patch (Closes: #502966) - . Hide 'mysqladmin ping' output, to prevent confusing the user in - case mysqld is running but the authentication fails, which apparently - does not prevent mysqldump to work. - . Fix the error message displayed when mysqld is not running: - mysqladmin ping indeed returns 0 when authentication fails. - sys: - . New luksheaders option (default=disabled) to backup the Luks header - of every Luks device. - . New lvm option (default=disabled) to backup LVM metadata for every - detected volume group. - . Backup dmsetup info as well, for easier restoring of Luks headers. - -version 0.9.6 -- July 21, 2008 - backupninja changes - . fix bug in cstream definition, thanks Jamie McClelland - .

Fixed problem that caused combination of slapcat and compress to not work - together (Closes: Trac#29) - .
