PDM - PHP Dump Maker - Smart Backup Tool / News: Recent posts

Many days passed since last release. The project is unfortunately mature enoght to not require continous attention. Some bugs still lurks and some features are missing. I did some work with 4.2 some time ago and at the moment I just working on it, which mean I shall release 4.2 soon. Please report any issues found with PDM 4.1 now, if you want to see it fixed in version 4.2

Please go upgrade if you need to make multivolume backups as version 4.0 used to 'abuse' mkisofs features sometimes.

Finally version 4.0 hits the strees. The most anticipated feature this release brings you is preliminary DVD support. Yes! Finally you would be able to burn one DVD-R instead of tons of CDs and PDM now knows how ;) See release CHANGELOG for more details. Enjoy.

As SF lacks standard pool forms, please give your ansewer in comment.

Question: Currently PDM is PHP based script. Would you prefer it to be compilable application instead?

Answers:

A: PHP script is fine for me. No need for a change
B: I don't bother. I use PDM sparringly
C: Yes, I'd like it to be compilable instead
D: I don't know

Please give your answer letter in the comments (regular comments are also welcomed). Thanks

Major feature update. Upgrade suggested ;)

A major update and bugfix release. However fixed bugs caused no deadly injuries, I advise you to update if you use any previous version of 3.x branch. See CHANGES

Fixes major bug (malfunction in some modes) and some tiny issues. Must-have update for 3.0 users

As usual see the CHANGELOG for closer details ;)

Public release 2.5 of PDM went out with incorrect version string, and therefore claims it is a "2.5 beta" version on each run. Since it's rather minior issue, I decided to let it be and it won't be fixed.

PDM 2.5 released - check changelog for details

Frankly v2.3 is just vanilla v2.2, but working. If you fetched v2.2 it's a must-have update.

A must-have release with vast new features ;)
