Change Log

Changes in 2.0.1 (2011-05-27):
• Fixed the problem where AppBackup was hanging on the Please Wait screen for many people.
• Fixed a cosmetic bug with the Please Wait screen.
• Updated Spanish translation.
• ini-to-strings.py now sorts the list of language files before converting them.

Changes in 2.0 (2011-05-26):
• AppBackup now works on iOS versions 4.3.x and later (and it still works with iOS 3; untested on iOS 2).
• Added a confirmation screen for all actions.
• Redesigned About screen.
• AppBackup has been split into two parts:
· The GUI, written in Objective-C this time.
· A command-line interface in the form of a Python package. (Just type appbackup at the terminal to use it.)
· As a result, the code has been completely rewritten and is much cleaner and object-oriented.
• The FixPermissions utility can now be used by typing appbackup-fix-permissions at the terminal. It is still run automatically in the GUI mode only.
• Updated translations and added new translations for the following languages:
· Czech - Jan Kozánek
· Chinese - goodlook8666
· Greek - Spiros Chistoforos-Libanis
· Japanese - Osamu
· Korean - Joon Ki Hong
· Norwegian - Jan Gerhard Schøpp
• Changed translations format in the source tree.
• Translations are now managed on Transifex (https://www.transifex.net/) and converted to Apple's Localizable.strings format at build time.

Changes in 1.0.14 (2011-05-05):
• SECURITY UPDATE: FixPermissions now ensures that no directory other than /var is a link.
• Added the German ß/Eszett to the diacritical mappings used for sorting.
• This does NOT fix the incompatibility with iOS 4.3.x. I am still working on fixing that.

Changes in 1.0.13 (2011-01-13):
• Added the ability to ignore and un-ignore apps in the backup list and when using the All button.
• Fixed a crash caused by an error in the Dutch translation. (Tim van Neerbos was consulted about the problem string. This bug only affected users who have their language set to Dutch.)
• The unique bundle ID of each app is now displayed under its name in the backup/restore prompt.

Changes in 1.0.12 (2010-11-27):
• Fixed a bug where AppBackup would crash if the modification time of a backup file was used instead of a non-existent backuptimes.plist entry.
• Fixed a couple of bugs in the old method of finding apps.
• Reverted to the old method of finding apps because it is faster.
• Fixed some problems with the English strings for deleting backups.
• Fixed logging when deleting backups.
• Simplified localization code in BackupAll/BackupOne.
• The action argument of on(OneApp/AllApps)DoAction_withModalView_ takes an unlocalized string now.

Changes in 1.0.11 (2010-11-25):
• Added a Dutch translation by Dennis Morren.
• Added a Russian translation by Nikita "ZAY" Peshkov.
• Added proper error-checking when backing up or restoring/deleting a backup.
• Added the ability to delete backups (only translated to English and Russian for now).
• Permissions on /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/AppBackup are now fixed on startup to reduce crashes
· This is done with a setuid root binary called FixPermissions and can be disabled by making an empty file at /Applications/AppBackup.app/NoFixPermissions
• The modification time for the backup file is now used as a fallback if the file exists but the app is not in backuptimes.plist.
• Added Retina images for the icon and splash screen.
· The Retina icon is slightly different than the low-resolution icon.
• Re-designed the splash screen.
• Now released under the X11 License.
• The Web site's domain name is now pages.srwz.us.
• Full changelog now shipped with AppBackup and shown in the About dialog.
• Tweaked the debug.log format a tiny bit.
• Source changes:
· Setuid root binary called FixPermissions added to fix permissions on startup.
· PermissionsFix is now FixPermissions.old and is deprecated.
· Changes related to Python naming conventions and docstrings in include/globals.py.
· Source tree reorganized, changes and credits reorganized, and build process changed.
· README and LICENSE files added.
· Trivial changes.

Changes in 1.0.10 (2010-08-03):
• Added an Italian translation by Pietropaolo Mastromarco.
• Fixed a bug where the restore option didn't appear if we couldn't get a localized date string from the operating system, even though the app was backed up already.
• (Only of interest to developers) Sorted the functions in include/globals.py alphabetically, except for a couple of long ones which were left at the bottom.

Changes in 1.0.9.9 (2010-06-10):
• Added a Spanish translation by Ramón Cutanda.
• Changed the debug logging method again.
• Threads now have autorelease pools.
• This version is mainly intended to help me figure out crashing problems that people are having, although the above change might help some.

Changes in 1.0.9.2 (2010-01-14):
• Fixed another problem when upgrading to 1.0.7 or later from 1.0.6 or earlier.

Changes in 1.0.9.1 (2010-01-13):
• AppBackup no longer crashes on a new install.
• Fixed complications when upgrading to 1.0.7 or later from 1.0.6 or earlier.

Changes in 1.0.9 (2010-01-11):
• Attempted to fix AppBackup crashing on new installs.

Changes in 1.0.8:
• There is NO version 1.0.8!

Changes in 1.0.7 (2010-01-10):
• Moved backup location to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/AppBackup so that iTunes will back them up.

Changes in 1.0.6 (2009-09-19?):
• Added a French translation by Marc Klein and I forgot to mention it.
• Worked around a problem caused by MobileSubstrate support, which was removed.

Changes in 1.0.5 (2009-08-17):
• Fixed a problem where apps whose .app folders' names had non-ASCII characters in them (e.g. "é" or "™") would crash AppBackup.
• Support for sorting app names that have accented letters has been added. (e.g. "Métro" now comes before "Mint")
• CPU-intensive functions are now executed in separate threads. This should result in better performance. Specifically, finding apps and the actual backup and restore processes are now executed in separate threads.
• The method used for finding apps has changed except for firmware versions below 2.1.
• Reorganized the code A LOT.
• Changed the debug logging process.
• Made other small changes.

Changes in 1.0.4 (2009-07-09):
• Works on iPhoneOS 3.0
• Worked around bug where an app that localized its name on the SpringBoard and didn't have a CFBundleDisplayName key in its Info.plist file would crash AppBackup
• Fixed more crash-on-startup bugs
• Added credits for the translations to the About screen (VERY sorry about not doing this earlier, translators)
• Added MobileSubstrate support

Changes in 1.0.3final (2008-09-27):
• Added German and Swedish translations
• Uses date format according to user's locale and preferences
• Source is now compiled into optimized Python bytecode to run a little quicker; this may fix some crashing problems people have been having, especially after updating to 2.1.
• Changes to UI: All and About buttons moved to bottom; buttons in dialogs are now on separate rows. This is to better support translated strings.
• Sorting of apps in the list is now done case-insensitively.

Changes in 1.0.2 (2008-09-02):
• Fixed a problem where if an app's Info.plist file didn't exist, AppBackup would crash by checking to see if it exists (thanks Steven B.)
• Fixed a problem where AppBackup would crash if you have a non-directory file in /var/mobile/Applications (thanks Ryan H.)
• Changed some strings to stress that this doesn't backup the actual apps, but just their saved data
• Added support for localization. If you want to help translate AppBackup into a different language, please contact me.
• Other small code changes

Changes in 1.0.1 (2008-08-19):
• Now outputs debugging info to /var/mobile/Library/AppBackup/debug.log
• Fixed a problem with BigBoss-provided debs causing it to crash
• Changed something that I think might cause a crashing bug if you have lots of AppStore apps
• Added thanks to BigBoss for hosting it
• Some minor, unnoticeable changes (like changing some comments in the code)

Changes in 1.0 (2008-08-17):
• Initial public release
