2 Release Notes for Bacula 1.36.1
4 Bacula code: Total files = 396 Total lines = 116,418 (*.h *.c *.in)
8 - There is a new Win32 pebuilder rescue disk thanks to Scott. This
9 is worth the effort to checkout.
10 - A number of indexes have been removed from the PostgreSQL
11 database to improve performance during backups. You may need to
12 add these indexes if you do Verifies. See the scripts.
13 - We now have a Gentoo ebuild -- thanks Scott.
14 - There are a number of new ./configure options for the
15 bimagemgr. Please see the documentation or ./configure --help
16 - The RedHat autostart scripts disable using /lib/tls. If you
17 don't want this you will need to turn it off.
18 - Corrected a problem with the default SD and FD conf files that
19 incorrectly set Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1. This prevented
20 running a job and obtaining the status at the same time.
21 - All daemon messages are now prefixed with a short date/time,
22 and queued messages (generated in the comm routines) have the
23 time the message was generated rather than the time the message
24 was sent (usually much later).
25 - Fixed a bug with the autochanger code not respecting the InChanger
36 - The output from Job reports has been modified to include the
37 seconds on the start/end times, the Storage device used, and to
38 indent the output differently.
39 - If you created a PostgreSQL database under version 1.36.0, there
40 are two things you might want to do. 1. manually remove some
41 of the File table indexes to improve backup performance. See the
42 make_postgresql_tables script. 2. run fix_postgresql_tables (in
43 src/cats and updatedb) to correct a table. This is necessary only
44 if you are creating disk Volumes greater than 2GB.
45 - As of 1.35.5 you MUST do a database update.
47 cd scripts-dir (or src/cats)
48 ./update_bacula_tables
50 - All daemons should be compatible with 1.34 with the exception
51 of the new FileSet features such as regular expressions.
52 - Regular expressions are not supported in the Win32 FD.
55 - It is now possible to build the Rescue CDROM using a pre-installed
57 - Corrected a bug in the traceback code when Bacula was executed without
58 a path. Tracebacks should now work in more cases.
59 - Corrected a typo in the traceback script.
60 - Fixed the mtx autochanger script so that it correctly waits on
61 Linux systems (if you manually enable the code).
62 - Added grant all on cdimages for PostgreSQL users of bimagemgr.
63 - The actual Job start time is now correctly recorded in the catalog.
64 - You can now specify a JobId (or multiple ones separated by commas) on
65 the restore command line.
66 - A -d50 will now turn on lots of debug code if you are having
67 authentication errors.
68 - Found a workaround to a /lib/tls pthreads bug (a library seg fault).
69 - Added an ALERT message class for Alert messages.
70 - Fixed a seg fault in the restore tree routine when attempting
71 to select certain files in the root directory.
72 - Allow other jobs to request new Volumes while operator intervention
73 is needed -- previously all stalled.
74 - Enhancements to btape test (don't loop if certain tape errors occur).
75 - Improvements to the Win32 install.
