1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
6 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
7 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
8 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
9 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
10 and bacula access to the DB.
11 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
12 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
13 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
14 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
15 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
16 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
17 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
19 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
20 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
21 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
23 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
24 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
27 kes Extend new GUI API.
28 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
29 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
31 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
33 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
34 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
36 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
38 kes More bat implementation.
39 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
40 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
41 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
42 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
43 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
44 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
45 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
46 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
48 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
51 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
52 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
53 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
54 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
56 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
57 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
59 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
60 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
62 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
63 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
66 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
68 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
70 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
71 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
73 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
74 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
75 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
77 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
78 than English. Fixes bug #788.
80 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
82 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
83 It will be fixed soon.
84 If you want to use this, you can apply
85 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
87 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
88 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
89 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
90 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
91 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
92 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
93 update volume=xxx frompool
94 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
101 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
102 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
103 that returns more information and will make it easier
104 to interface to the Director from a program.
106 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
107 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
108 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
109 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
110 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
111 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
112 the Changer Command to an empty string.
114 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
115 in a single write() request rather than in two.
116 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
117 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
119 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
120 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
121 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
122 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
124 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
125 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
127 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
128 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
129 was opened, it is closed.
131 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
132 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
133 in the case of orphaned records.
134 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
135 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
136 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
137 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
138 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
139 happens to the ScratchPool?
140 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
141 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
142 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
143 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
144 times are in Bacula units.
145 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
147 kes Update projects list.
149 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
150 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
151 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
152 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
153 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
155 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
156 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
157 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
159 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
160 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
162 Switch to using Subversion
163 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
165 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
166 plus the entrypoints.
167 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
168 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
169 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
171 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
172 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
174 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
175 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
176 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
178 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
179 problem is with read or append.
181 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
182 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
183 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
184 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
185 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
186 (i.e. migration jobs).
187 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
188 a memory leak problem.
189 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
190 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
191 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
192 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
193 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
194 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
195 (hides some of the ugly casting).
196 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
197 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
198 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
199 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
200 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
201 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
202 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
203 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
204 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
206 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
208 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
209 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
210 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
212 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
213 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
215 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
216 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
218 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
219 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
220 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
221 other DIR specifications.
223 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
224 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
225 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
227 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
229 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
230 backup. This should fix bug #755.
231 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
235 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
236 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
237 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
239 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
241 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
242 This *should* fix bug #747.
243 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
246 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
247 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
248 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
249 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
250 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
251 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
253 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
254 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
256 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
