Chroniton-0.03
++

Changes for version 0.03

  • remove colons from filenames to prevent tar from getting confused
  • chroniton.pl prints error messages after the backup, even if --quiet is specified (for cron jobs)
  • extended filesystem attributes are supported if File::ExtAttr is installed
  • now stores config in a hidden directory on UNIX-like OSes
  • files created by chroniton use the same time for their name throughout (i.e. backup_123456 and log_123456 instead of backup_Jan_02_1970_08:30AM and log_123456.133742)
