More complete changelog at: http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=news
This 5.0.3 version is significant bug fix update to version 5.0.2.
It includes new code and some new features.
There is no database change since prior versions of 5.0.
Compatibility:
--------------
As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
the same time.
Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.3
Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
Daemons.
Changes and New Features:
- If a VSS (Windows) snapshot fails, the whole Job is failed, previously
it printed a warning message and continued.
- New editing codes %b = Job Bytes and %f = Job Files for runscripts
- Any non-Bacula project plugins (i.e. third party plugins)
must be upgraded to specify AGPLv3 in place of the GPLv2 used previously
for the PLUGIN_LICENSE.
- The bat Media page text columns can be sorted by clicking on the column.
- If possible, the SD will automatically update the catalog Volume size if
it does not match the Volume size. The mismatch between the Volume sizes
typically occurs when the FD has a comm line drop or the FD crashes.
* We believe that we have resolved most of the problems
concerning canceled or failed jobs being "stuck" in the
Director. There is one outstanding problem in the SD when
canceling jobs that we will fix in the next major release.
If you see jobs that seem to be stuck, in general issuing
a cancel command in bconsole should now make them go away.
Directives:
* The default for "Allow Duplicate Jobs" has been changed from
no to yes. If you use this directive, please check your
conf file, and note the next two items!
* AllowHigherDuplicates disabled. It did not work as documented
and was confusing.
* New directive "CancelLowerLevelDuplicates" See New Features
section in the manual.
* Truncate on Purge rewritten. See New Features section in the manual.
* Bug fixes
* Ensure SD asks for help when looping even if poll set.
* Fix three-pool regress bug
* This version fixes an issue where the console window would start out
docked. It is fixed by initiating the variables in the Pages class wi
constructor.
* Fix make_catalog_backup.pl fails when catalog db is on other host
* Fix 1352 about double free with regexp and big filenames on windows
* Apply Graham's idea for recovering from disk full by recursing
when doing fixup_write_error ...
* Make fix for VirtualFull changing device
* Fix concurrent Job recycle bug 1288
* Backport part of one possible fix from bug 1346
