More complete changelog at: http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=news
* 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 1323 about a problem when mounting a requested volume during a restore.
* Add more example SD Device configurations.
* Force the client_encoding to SQL_ASCII when database is already using this
mode.
* Fix 1335 about postgresql error message during copy session
* Cleanup old job records when starting the director (Created/Running -> Failed)
* Apply patch in bug 1315 by McMichaeli that fixes scripts/logwatch
* Add more output when spooling and no space left
* Fix postgresql driver bug that displayed <NULL> rows from time to time.
* Implement the project 'restore' menu: enter a JobId, automatically
select dependents
* Should fix 1323 about verify accurate jobs and deleted files.
* more...
* Bug fixes.
* Check for job_canceled() in fd_plugin code.
* Update Win32 table creation to have new DB version 11 format
* Remove illegal Options in Exclude of default Win32/64 bacula-dir.conf
* Remove "Reposition" message when restoring
* Update projects file
* Modify insertion of read Volumes in SD to be done before the
drive reservation. This ensures that a Volume to be read will not
be reserved for writing. Significant enhancement.
Changes 3.0.0:
* Fix Win32 make clean to clean correctly
* Separate object/binaries in Win32 and Win64 builds. More to be done.
* Add bconsole to Win64 installer.
* Enhance Job messages from SD when the FD->SD protocol is incorrect
and the SD hangs up. Previously this looked like a comm error.
* Fixed problem in xattr and acl code trying to send empty acl or xattr
streams.
* Fix for bug #1261 where we send out a null stream when a file only an
acl and xattr support is also turned on.
* Added some warnings to configure when using libtool and static in
one configure.
* Fix small memory leak in fileregexp bsr code
* Correct bacula32.def entry point as specified by James.
* Add code to FD plugin driver to make a copy of the plugin
filename to be saved to avoid save_file from zaping it.
* Directly mark all files saved by plugin as being seen for Accurate.
* more...
* Apply 2.4.2-cancel-non-running-jobs.patch to be able to cancel
a non created job faster.
* Fix typo in configure.in that breaks --with-db-password option
* Remove all double quotes from SQLite creating script and
replace by single quotes as suggested by John Huttley.
* Fix SQL case problem that may cause the failure of DiskToCatalog.
* Copy missing storage name into edit buffer. As far as I can tell
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 owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.
(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake
variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages
that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.
(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.
