this never caused a bug.
* Remove catalog dependency for bcopy
* Modify catalog scripts to have an easier packaging integration,
using default variables.
Make difference between SQLite3 and SQLite in db_get_type()
job when reading from one autochanger and writing to another.
* Add more information to SD acquire.c INFO messages.
* Fix NULL Volume name error when reading and the drive must
be switched.
* Fix a Verify InitCatalog problem where in certain cases
a garbage filename may be entered in the verification database.
* Add space after version before date in bat about dialog.
* Fix seg fault in Dir during estimate command with no level value given.
* Add message to migration job when the target job is already migrated.
the 2.0.x series. Major new features include:
- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
(Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
thanks to Eric.
- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
implemented.
- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
Important upgrade notes are mentioned in the MESSAGE file.
XXX Not (functionally) tested by myself, but Peter Eisch <peter@boku.net>
(via pkgsrc-users@NetBSD.org) verified the patch in his setup.
5Mar07
kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
04Mar07
kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
tape alert info.
02Mar07
kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
28Feb07
kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
27Feb07
kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
in bug #791.
26Feb07
kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
24Feb07
ebl Fix FIFO stuff, bacula tries to rewind the FIFO... Thanks to Andreas
22Feb07
kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
not be zeroed.
21Feb07
kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
than English. Fixes bug #788.
20Feb07
ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob as it was in 1.38.x
This fixes bug #780
You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
If you want to use this, you can apply
trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
19Feb07
kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
16Feb07
kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
15Feb07
kes Add quick disconnect FD code from 2.1.4 to 2.0.3. This code
causes the SD to release the FD as soon as the FD has sent
all the data to the SD. After that the SD will do any final
despooling (data and attributes) that are necessary. This
allows laptops to disconnect much quicker from the network
after a backup.
13Feb07
kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
11Feb07
kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
was opened, it is closed.
10Feb07
kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
09Feb07
kes Update projects list.
08Feb07
kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
#767.
kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
to fail.
kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
07Feb07
Switch to using Subversion
kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
06Feb07
kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
plus the entrypoints.
kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
05Feb07
kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
Fixes bug #771.
kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
04Feb07
kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
problem is with read or append.
02Feb07
kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
(i.e. migration jobs).
kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
a memory leak problem.
kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
(hides some of the ugly casting).
26Jan07 (back port)
kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
the SD. This is noted in more detail above.
- Add test for IRIX64 as OS
- Minor tweaks to bregex.c
- Fix to block.c to correctly check for DVD number of parts.
- Fix to dev.c to permit DVD seeking in spool file. Corrects label rewriting
problems.
- Clarify license for techlogs (GPL). I consider them "part" of the source code
of Bacula.
- Use FDL license for developer's manual, French translation, German
translation, bimagemgr manuals (same as the main manual), and the web site.
Changes since the 1.38.8 release:
- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during
a restore.
- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file.
- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap
statistics.
- Implement an NT_() macro to indicate that text should NOT
be translated.
- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
they should not be (e.g. commands).
- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
values.
- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
restorable.
- Remove lib/regex.c (replaced by bregex.c).
- Delete src/win32/License.txt
- Modify installer to install LICENSE
- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
- Integrate most of the MinGW changes -- more to do.
- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
working directory. Fixes bug #578.
- Update job start time after the any run before job so that
files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
bug #599.
- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
the restore command when reading a file. This permits
the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
was suggested by the user.
- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
portability.
- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
more portability.
- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.
- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in
as reported by a user.
patch-ak has been applied upstream.
Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.6:
New features:
- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
no appendable Volumes are available.
- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
documentation.
- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =',
which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can
be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot
correctly detect the DVD.
- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory.
- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the
name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers
as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers
to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each
job.
- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways
of displaying the information.
- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
- Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
Major bug fixes:
- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
both drives want the same Volume.
- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console
if it is not in ACL.
- Writable FIFOs now work for restore.
- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands.
- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers
should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names,
update slots use correct StorageId).
- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed
while in the reservation process.
Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.5:
Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
