* Add a new -F option for daemons, which runs in the foreground but still accepts multiple connections, which is what SINGLEPROCESS used to do.
* Fixed compare of timestamps on filesystems which cannot set them more accurately than 1 second.
* Added new backup-start and backup-finish events to the NotifyScript, which can be used to implement more advanced functionality such as snapshotting databases.
- * Added a new sample NotifySysAdmin script for Windows, written by James O'Gorman in VBscript.
+ * Added a new sample !NotifySysAdmin script for Windows, written by James O'Gorman in VBscript.
* Added support for multiple Box Backup (bbackupd) services on Windows, with different service names and named pipe names, to implement redundancy.
* Fixed bbackupd mysteriously failing to back up if one of the location paths did not exist.
* Fixed entering of international characters into bbackupquery on Windows (instructions) and Unixes with editline.
* Improve Makefiles by reducing verbosity during build, so that any errors and warnings can be seen more easily.
- * Added saving of the list of unused root directory entries to the StoreObjectInfoFile, so that they will persist across restarts of bbackup (thanks to Gary Niemcewicz).
+ * Added saving of the list of unused root directory entries to the !StoreObjectInfoFile, so that they will persist across restarts of bbackup (thanks to Gary Niemcewicz).
* Updated built-in documentation (program manuals, installation guide and administrator's guide).
* Improved build targets (thanks to James O'Gorman).
+ * On Unix platforms, all commands have moved from bin to sbin.

If you have problems with large files (over 2GB compressed) not being backed up, restored or compared, you will need to delete them from the store server to fix them properly. You can do this before or after upgrading, but if they are uploaded again by the 0.10 client then the problem will not be solved.

+You will probably get this error message every backup run:
+
+{{{
+BACKUP PROBLEM on host your.client.host (unknown)
+}}}
+
+To fix this, edit the !NotifyScript (usually `/etc/box/bbackupd/NotifyScript.sh`), find the line that starts with the word `else`, and add these three lines immediately before it:
+
+{{{
+elif [ "$1" = backup-start -o "$1" = backup-finish -o "$1" = backup-ok ]; then
+ # do nothing by default
+ true
