1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
6 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
7 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
8 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
10 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
11 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
13 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
14 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
15 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
17 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
18 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
19 amount of duplicated code.
20 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
21 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
22 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
24 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
26 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
27 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
28 Fix sql stuff for mysql
30 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
31 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
32 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
33 of other prune/purge subroutines.
34 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
35 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
37 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
38 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
39 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
40 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
41 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
43 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
44 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
46 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
47 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
48 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
49 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
50 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
51 and bacula access to the DB.
52 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
53 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
54 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
55 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
56 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
57 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
58 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
60 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
61 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
62 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
64 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
65 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
68 kes Extend new GUI API.
69 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
70 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
72 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
74 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
75 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
77 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
79 kes More bat implementation.
80 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
81 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
82 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
83 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
84 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
85 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
86 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
87 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
89 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
92 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
93 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
94 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
95 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
97 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
98 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
100 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
101 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
103 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
104 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
107 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
109 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
111 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
112 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
114 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
115 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
116 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
118 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
119 than English. Fixes bug #788.
121 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
123 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
124 It will be fixed soon.
125 If you want to use this, you can apply
126 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
128 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
129 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
130 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
131 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
132 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
133 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
134 update volume=xxx frompool
135 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
138 RecyclePool = Scratch
142 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
143 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
144 that returns more information and will make it easier
145 to interface to the Director from a program.
147 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
148 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
149 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
150 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
151 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
152 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
153 the Changer Command to an empty string.
155 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
156 in a single write() request rather than in two.
157 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
158 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
160 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
161 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
162 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
163 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
165 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
166 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
168 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
169 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
170 was opened, it is closed.
172 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
173 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
174 in the case of orphaned records.
175 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
176 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
177 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
178 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
179 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
180 happens to the ScratchPool?
181 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
182 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
183 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
184 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
185 times are in Bacula units.
186 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
188 kes Update projects list.
190 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
191 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
192 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
193 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
194 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
196 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
197 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
198 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
200 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
201 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
203 Switch to using Subversion
204 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
206 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
207 plus the entrypoints.
208 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
209 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
210 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
212 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
213 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
215 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
216 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
217 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
219 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
220 problem is with read or append.
222 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
223 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
224 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
225 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
226 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
227 (i.e. migration jobs).
228 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
229 a memory leak problem.
230 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
231 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
232 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
233 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
234 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
235 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
236 (hides some of the ugly casting).
237 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
238 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
239 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
240 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
241 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
242 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
243 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
244 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
245 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
247 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
249 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
250 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
251 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
253 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
254 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
256 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
257 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
259 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
260 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
261 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
262 other DIR specifications.
264 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
265 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
266 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
268 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
270 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
271 backup. This should fix bug #755.
272 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
276 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
277 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
278 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
280 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
282 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
283 This *should* fix bug #747.
284 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
287 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
288 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
289 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
290 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
291 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
292 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
294 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
295 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
297 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
