1 2002-mm-dd Version 1.28 (not yet released)
4 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
5 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
6 it as the development goes on.
7 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
8 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
9 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
10 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
11 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
12 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
15 Changes submitted this submission:
17 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
18 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
19 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
21 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
22 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
23 handle shorts and long longs.
25 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
26 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
27 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
28 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
29 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
32 - Added more rescue documentation.
33 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
34 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
35 configuration file as the default.
37 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
38 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
41 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
42 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
43 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
44 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
46 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
47 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
48 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
49 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
50 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
52 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
53 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
54 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
55 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
56 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
58 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
59 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
60 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
61 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
63 - Started adding FileOptions ...
64 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
65 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
66 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
67 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
68 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
69 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
70 block before writing and upon read back.
71 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
72 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
73 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
74 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
75 static versions of the daemons.
77 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
78 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
79 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
80 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
81 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
82 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
83 to help guide the user.
84 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
86 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
87 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
88 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
89 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
91 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
92 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
93 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
95 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
96 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
97 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
98 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
99 in the restore Console command.
100 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
101 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
102 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
103 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
105 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
107 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
110 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
111 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
112 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
113 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
114 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
116 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
117 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
118 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
119 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
123 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
124 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
125 This code is untested.
126 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
127 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
128 as well as getting info from them.
129 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
131 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
132 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
133 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
135 - Improved error messages in smtp.
137 =============================================================================
138 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
139 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
140 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
142 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
143 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
144 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
146 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
147 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
149 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
150 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
152 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
154 General: from kes25Nov02
155 - Mostly Cygwin changes
157 Changes submitted this submission:
158 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
159 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
160 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
161 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
162 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
163 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
164 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
165 - Build testfind as default.
166 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
168 General: from kes21Nov02
169 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
170 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
171 the src/cats directory.
173 Changes submitted this submission:
174 - Additional documentation.
175 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
176 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
177 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
178 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
179 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
180 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
181 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
182 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
183 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
184 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
185 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
186 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
187 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
188 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
189 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
190 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
192 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
193 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
194 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
195 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
196 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
197 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
199 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
201 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
202 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
203 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
204 - Add Pool attribute query
205 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
206 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
208 General: from kes18Nov02
209 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
210 and prevent buffer overflows.
212 Changes submitted this submission:
213 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
214 jobs get the correct address.
215 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
216 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
217 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
218 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
219 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
221 General: from kes13Nov02
222 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
225 ./alter_sqlite_tables
226 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
227 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
229 Changes submitted this submission:
230 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
231 when a tape can be marked Used.
232 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
233 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
234 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
235 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
236 database. Incremented db version.
237 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
238 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
239 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
240 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
241 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
242 it for MySQL. What a pain!
243 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
244 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
246 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
247 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
249 General: from kes09Nov02
250 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
251 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
252 as well as a standard page size.
253 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
254 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
255 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
256 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
258 Changes submitted this submission:
259 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
260 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
262 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
263 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
265 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
266 -i option. I have not tested it.
268 General: from kes30Oct02
269 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
270 - bacula stript fixes.
271 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
272 - Added openbsd to platforms
274 Changes submitted this submission:
275 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
276 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
277 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
278 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
280 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
281 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
282 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
283 confusing for the user, but ...
284 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
285 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
287 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
288 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
289 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
290 where the Director seg faulted.
292 General: from kes29Oct02
293 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
295 Changes submitted this submission:
296 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
297 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
298 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
299 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
301 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
302 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
303 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
304 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
305 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
306 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
307 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
308 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
309 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
311 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
313 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
314 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
315 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
316 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
317 it was a network error.
318 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
319 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
320 console.exe to the release.
321 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
322 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
323 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
325 General: from kes23Oct02
326 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
327 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
329 - Trademarked name Bacula.
330 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
331 will be maintained forever.
332 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
335 Changes submitted this submission:
336 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
337 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
338 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
340 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
341 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
342 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
343 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
345 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
346 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
347 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
348 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
349 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
350 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
351 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
352 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
353 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
354 This replaces previous floating point times.
355 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
356 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
357 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
358 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
359 in the pool to be mounted.
360 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
361 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
362 for it to be enabled.
363 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
365 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
366 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
367 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
368 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
369 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
370 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
371 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
373 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
374 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
377 =============================================================================
378 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
379 General: from kes10Oct02
380 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
381 character on Windows.
383 Changes submitted this submission:
384 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
385 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
386 - Documentation on GZIP.
387 - Another restore doc example.
388 - Documented btape fill command.
389 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
390 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
391 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
392 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
393 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
394 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
395 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
396 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
397 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
398 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
399 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
400 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
401 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
402 routines that create files do not print error messages.
403 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
404 Currently the following bits are not handled:
408 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
410 General: from kes09Oct02
411 - More documentation.
412 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
413 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
416 Changes submitted this submission:
417 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
418 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
419 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
420 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
421 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
422 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
423 This will always be zero if no software compression was
424 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
425 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
426 the termination status represents the state of all three
428 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
429 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
432 General: From kes06Oct02
433 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
434 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
435 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
436 jobs to a File volume.
437 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
439 Changes submitted this submission:
441 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
442 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
443 is currently turned off.
444 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
446 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
447 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
448 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
449 ./drop_bacula_tables.
450 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
451 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
452 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
453 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
454 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
455 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
456 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
457 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
458 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
459 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
461 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
462 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
463 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
464 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
466 General: From kes25Sep02
467 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
470 Changes submitted this submission:
471 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
472 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
473 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
475 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
476 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
477 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
478 from which you can do a restore.
479 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
480 by an explicit ranlib call.
481 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
482 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
483 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
484 be listed as "Unknown type".
485 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
487 General: From kes14Sep02
488 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
489 - 64 bit file address support if available.
490 - Implement autochanger for reading
491 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
492 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
494 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
495 - Begin implementation of a regression script
496 - Write bootstrap after ever job
498 Changes submitted this submission:
499 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
500 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
501 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
503 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
504 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
505 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
506 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
507 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
509 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
510 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
511 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
513 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
514 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
515 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
516 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
517 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
519 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
520 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
521 acquire_device_for_read()
522 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
527 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
529 =============================================================================
530 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
531 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
532 will always read the currently mounted tape.
534 =============================================================================
535 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
537 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
538 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
539 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
541 Changes submitted this submission:
542 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
544 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
545 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
546 for Verify but not really errors.
549 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
551 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
552 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
553 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
554 were not properly restored.
558 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
559 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
560 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
561 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
562 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
563 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
564 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
565 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
566 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
567 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
568 any restore Job. Arrggg!
569 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
570 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
571 FD not required, but recommended.
573 Changes submitted this submission:
574 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
575 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
576 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
577 feedback from users. Thanks.
578 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
580 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
581 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
582 messages from within the Database subroutines.
583 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
584 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
585 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
586 of network errors from within the network code.
587 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
588 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
589 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
590 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
591 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
592 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
593 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
594 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
595 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
596 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
597 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
598 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
599 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
600 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
602 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
604 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
605 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
606 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
607 been done -- thanks Chuck.
608 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
609 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
610 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
611 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
612 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
613 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
614 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
615 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
616 reading them back much easier.
617 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
619 =============================================================================
620 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
622 - Made a new tools directory.
623 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
624 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
625 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
626 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
627 on binaries that actually need it.
628 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
629 - Move testfind to tools directory.
630 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
631 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
632 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
633 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
634 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
636 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
637 listing of the file/directory name.
638 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
639 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
640 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
641 FileSets, ask user to select one.
642 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
643 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
646 - Made restore actually work.
647 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
649 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
650 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
651 line arguments. Fixed!
652 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
653 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
654 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
655 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
656 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
657 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
659 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
660 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
661 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
662 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
663 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
664 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
667 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
668 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
669 new read-write lock code.
670 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
671 using the rwl_xxx routines.
672 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
673 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
674 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
675 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
676 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
677 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
678 to the default definition of char.
679 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
681 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
682 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
683 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
684 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
685 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
686 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
687 arguments for created run command in restore.
688 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
689 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
690 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
692 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
693 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
694 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
697 - Did a good amount of documentation.
698 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
699 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
700 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
701 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
702 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
703 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
704 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
705 - Increase the sleep time.
706 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
707 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
709 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
710 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
714 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
715 - Lots of work on the restore command.
716 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
717 when the console program prematurely terminates.
718 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
719 them all in the same thread.
720 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
721 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
722 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
723 on interdaemon communications.
724 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
725 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
727 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
731 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
732 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
733 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
734 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
735 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
736 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
737 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
738 This will permit splitting depkgs.
739 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
740 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
741 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
742 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
744 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
745 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
746 but does not produce a dump.
747 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
748 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
749 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
750 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
752 ===========================================================================
753 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
754 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
755 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
757 ===========================================================================
758 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
760 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
761 (still works with older MySQLs).
762 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
763 - Added kernstodo to CVS
764 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
765 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
766 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
767 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
770 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
773 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
774 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
775 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
776 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
777 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
778 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
779 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
781 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
782 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
783 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
784 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
785 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
786 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
787 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
788 ensure that the door is unlocked.
789 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
790 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
791 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
792 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
794 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
795 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
797 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
798 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
800 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
801 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
802 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
805 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
807 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
808 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
809 is finished with the Job.
810 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
811 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
812 the tape prior to freeing it.
813 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
814 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
815 This permits running an external program with the following editing
828 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
829 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
830 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
832 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
833 - Currently the changer commands used are:
834 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
835 load -- loads a specified slot
836 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
837 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
838 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
839 slots -- returns total number of slots
840 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
841 resource, permits editing of:
843 %a = archive device name
844 %c = changer device name
851 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
852 specified in the SD Device resource.
855 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
856 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
857 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
858 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
859 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
860 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
861 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
862 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
863 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
864 to a Console selection request.
865 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
866 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
867 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
868 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
869 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
870 box after history replacement.
871 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
872 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
873 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
874 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
875 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
876 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
877 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
878 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
879 of terminating the Job.
880 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
882 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
886 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
887 - A fair amount of documentation.
888 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
889 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
890 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
891 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
892 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
893 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
895 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
896 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
897 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
898 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
899 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
900 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
901 database that you are using.
902 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
903 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
904 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
905 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
906 routines even with DEBUG off.
907 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
908 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
909 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
910 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
911 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
912 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
913 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
914 handling of errors with minimum code.
915 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
916 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
917 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
918 resource is part of the Pool resource.
919 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
920 yet create a DB record.
921 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
923 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
924 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
925 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
927 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
928 backup and verify volume.
929 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
930 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
931 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
932 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
933 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
934 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
935 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
936 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
937 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
938 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
939 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
940 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
941 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
942 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
943 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
944 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
946 ===========================================================================
947 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
948 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
949 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
950 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
951 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
952 will go away in a future release.
953 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
954 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
955 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
958 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
959 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
960 order they appear in the config file.
961 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
962 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
963 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
964 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
965 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
966 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
967 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
968 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
969 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
970 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
971 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
972 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
973 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
974 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
976 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
977 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
978 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
979 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
982 - Additional documentation.
983 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
984 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
985 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
986 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
987 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
988 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
993 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
994 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
996 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
997 segment fault on Solaris.
998 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
1001 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
1002 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
1005 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
1006 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
1007 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
1009 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
1010 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
1011 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
1012 the caller to specify what he wants.
1013 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
1014 and name scanning to lex.
1015 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
1017 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
1018 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
1021 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
1022 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
1023 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
1024 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
1025 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
1026 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
1027 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
1028 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
1029 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
1030 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
1032 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
1033 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
1034 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
1035 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
1036 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
1037 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
1038 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
1040 ===========================================================================
1041 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
1042 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
1043 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
1044 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
1045 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
1046 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
1047 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
1048 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
1049 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
1050 recovery with no database.
1051 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
1052 in your config files.
1053 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
1057 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
1058 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
1059 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
1060 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
1061 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
1063 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
1064 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
1065 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
1066 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
1067 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
1069 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
1070 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
1071 statements per command.
1072 - Implemented three new "query" options:
1073 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
1074 List Volumes used by selected JobId
1075 List Volumes to Restore All Files
1076 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
1077 select the one you want.
1078 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
1079 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
1082 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
1083 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
1084 it with a pthreads mutex.
1085 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
1086 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
1087 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
1088 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
1089 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
1090 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
1097 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
1098 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
1099 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
1100 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
1101 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
1102 add data in the new format to old tapes.
1103 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
1104 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
1105 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
1106 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
1107 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
1108 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
1109 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
1111 ===========================================================================
1112 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
1113 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
1114 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
1115 - Fixed the query command bug.
1116 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
1117 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
1118 points to a working directory.
1119 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
1120 permits a core dump.
1121 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
1122 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
1123 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
1125 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
1126 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
1127 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
1128 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
1129 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
1130 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
1131 potential source of errors.
1132 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
1133 to the Schedule Run record.
1134 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
1135 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
1136 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
1137 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
1138 earlier code reorganization.
1139 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
1140 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
1141 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
1142 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
1143 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
1144 keep around legacy code.
1145 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
1146 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
1147 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
1148 by turning off autopruning.
1149 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
1150 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
1151 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
1152 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
1153 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
1154 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
1155 it forces the specified pruning.
1156 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
1158 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
1159 in place of P() and V().
1160 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
1162 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
1163 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
1164 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
1165 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
1166 calls the UA prune routines.
1167 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
1168 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
1169 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
1170 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
1171 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
1172 daemons if they listen on different ports.
1173 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
1174 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
1175 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
1176 it should be its own typedef.
1177 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
1178 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
1179 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
1180 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
1181 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
1182 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
1183 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
1184 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
1185 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
1186 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
1188 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
1189 the number of Files pruned in the message.
1190 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
1191 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
1192 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
1195 ===========================================================================
1196 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
1197 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
1198 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
1199 commands documented.
1200 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
1201 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
1202 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
1203 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
1204 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
1205 due to a bug in MySQL.
1206 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
1207 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
1208 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
1209 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
1210 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
1211 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
1212 Bug reported by Phil.
1213 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
1214 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
1215 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
1216 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
1217 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
1218 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
1219 older gcc compilers.
1220 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
1221 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
1222 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
1223 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
1224 in UserAgent server.
1225 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
1226 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
1227 - Delete unused code from backup.c
1228 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
1229 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
1230 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
1231 This dummy value should never be printed.
1232 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
1233 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
1234 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
1236 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
1237 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
1238 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
1240 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
1241 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
1242 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
1243 new btime_t definition.
1244 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
1245 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
1246 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
1247 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
1248 descriptive of what is done.
1249 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
1250 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
1251 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
1252 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
1253 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
1254 - Additional config options for Console.
1255 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
1256 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
1257 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
1258 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
1259 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
1260 to modify Media table.
1261 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
1262 message if the make ends in error.
1263 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
1264 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
1265 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
1266 all associated records in the database.
1267 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
1268 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
1269 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
1270 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
1271 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
1272 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
1273 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
1274 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
1275 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
1276 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
1278 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
1279 kept in ua and jcr structures).
1280 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
1281 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
1282 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
1283 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
1284 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
1285 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
1286 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
1287 - Make console accept redirected input.
1288 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
1289 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
1290 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
1291 - Use JobId_t in more places.
1292 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
1293 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
1294 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
1295 future changes in the database. This should prevent
1296 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
1297 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
1298 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
1299 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
1300 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
1301 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
1302 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
1303 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
1304 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
1305 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
1306 - Purge Volume now works.
1307 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
1308 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
1309 More work to be done to search for termcap.
1310 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
1311 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
1312 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
1313 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
1314 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
1315 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
1316 not have the ALTER SQL command.
1317 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
1318 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
1319 This value is used when doing pruning.
1320 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
1321 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
1322 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
1323 retention period changes.
1324 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
1325 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
1327 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
1328 message resources. Much more work to be done.
1329 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
1331 ===========================================================================
1332 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
1333 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
1334 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
1335 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
1336 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
1337 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
1338 due to a bug in MySQL.
1339 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
1340 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
1341 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
1342 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
1343 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
1344 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
1345 Bug reported by Phil.
1346 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
1347 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
1348 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
1349 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
1351 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
1352 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
1353 older gcc compilers.
1354 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
1357 ===========================================================================
1358 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
1359 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
1361 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
1362 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
1363 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
1364 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
1365 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
1366 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
1367 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
1368 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
1369 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
1370 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
1371 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
1372 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
1373 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
1374 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
1375 broke the restore code.
1376 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
1377 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
1378 variable block sizes.
1379 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
1380 (at least on DAT tapes).
1381 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
1382 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
1384 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
1386 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
1387 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
1388 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
1389 prototype problem for C++.
1391 ===========================================================================
1392 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
1393 - Many intervening changes/updates.
1395 2001-09-29 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
1396 - Fixes to problems found at John's
1398 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
1400 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
1401 - Helped John install at his site.
1402 He is backing up one Linux machine and
1403 one Win2000 machine.
1405 2001-mm-dd Many releases
1406 - Released internally.
1408 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
1409 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
1410 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
1411 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
1412 remains a lot to do.
1413 - The file search code is now integrated into the
1414 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
1415 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
1416 all the database records are being created, though
1417 there still remains some work in getting all the
1418 details into the records (such as the Storage
1420 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
1421 - I've defined error message handling though no code
1423 - The following resources and records are implemented
1424 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
1427 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
1430 Password (not yet used)
1432 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
1436 Backup (only one permitted)
1439 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
1442 Include (options ignored)
1443 Exclude (no options)
1448 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
1451 Address, Port, Password (not used)
1454 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
1456 - Added Storage configuration routines.
1458 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
1460 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
1463 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
1464 Archive Device (defines device name)
1467 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
1468 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
1469 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
1470 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
1471 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
1472 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
1473 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
1474 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
1476 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
1477 implement it in the daemons.
1478 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
1479 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
1480 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
1483 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
1484 - Integrated John's fixes.
1485 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
1486 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
1487 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
1488 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
1490 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
1491 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
1492 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
1494 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
1495 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
