changelog

0.3.5 (2018-12-28)

• fix restoring on android 9. selinux rules has become more strict and as a result system_server is not allowed to install from directories other than the package staging directory (/data/local/tmp) (c9ee0df7a7ea94b309cd8cde8e750068527f2152)
• use cmd package install instead of pm install for restoring apks (677d991c9e95de962a96f30f1e1290720aa31aae)

0.3.4 (2018-11-15)

• add ci test against nightly rust
• fix assembleUniversal{,Debug,Release} tasks
• add simplified chinese translation (zh_CN). thanks to Aining.
• trick aapt into reporting that the apks ship native code. the purpose of this is to make fdroid filter the apks based on the version of the pab-utils binary they contain even though no jni or ndk building is involved.

0.3.3 (2018-10-30)

• correct abi name for 64bit arm

0.3.2 (2018-10-18)

0.3.0 (2018-09-16)

• add binary written in rust to handle tasks which can only be done as root. this will eventually enable us to get rid of the dependency on a *box installation. at the moment it is compiled for armv7a, arm64, x86, and x86_64. it is able to get and set file ownership and set file permissions.

0.2.2 (2013-09-10)

  • if the data folder of the app doesn't contain any files (or only empty directories and the lib/ folder) no zip will be created since java.util.zip can't handle empty zip files

0.2.1 (2013-09-03)

• fixing bug where busybox tar is not compiled with support for gzip

0.2.0 (2013-08-30)

• compression of app data backup (tar + gzip)
• new logfile format. as the old logs are converted on the first run after updating to this version, please notice that it will take a little longer to start up (on one of my devices each log is written in approximately half a second). all timestamps for last backup will be reset in the app interface due to changes to a more flexible reading method but the original values will remain as strings in the logs (look for "lastBackup") until they are overwritten by a new backup, so if the date displayed in the app is important you can change to value of "lastBackupMillis" (milliseconds since unix epoch for desired date). this is unfortunately not possible to do automatically due to the unpredictability of various date formats.
• bug fixes:
  • refresh while searching
  • sorting
  • searching after restoring with apk or uninstalling
  • chown bug if uid less than five characters
  • chown and chmod bug where certain packages were not recognised by the system after restore due to the lib folder
