1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Update the po files.
7 kes Change name bacula-bat to bat for man 1 page to correspond to

18 kes Attempt to fix MySQL db open memory loss (not successfull).
19 kes Don't set SIGKILL and SIGSTOP neither can be trapped.
20 kes Eliminate memory loss in MySQL (possibly other SQLs) during
21 Query. This looks like a MySQL but but by doing extra releases,
22 the memory goes away. This should fix bug #847.
24 kes When backup fails, cancel SD before waiting for sd termination.
25 kes If SD is waiting for FD to connect during cancel, wake up the
27 kes Fix fsf code so that errno is correctly reported.
28 kes Apply migration patch (with changes) from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>

36 spooling in migration jobs. Not yet tested.
37 kes Merge patch from Jorj Bauer <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> that implements
38 reading conf file from a pipe. However, do it with open_bpipe()
39 rather than popen. Not yet tested.

58 Console file. This fixes bug #846.
59 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
61 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
63 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
64 to force Win32 error message.
66 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
67 but nothing is done with it yet.
68 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
69 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
70 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
72 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
73 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
76 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
77 File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.

117 kes Add more debug to FIFO code -- fix fifo regression test.
119 kes Implement posix_fadvise in FD, and for reading spool files in SD.
120 kes Add thread timer to bnet_connect() to break from OS if wait time
123 kes Update Win32 build to include new files, new symbols, and
125 kes Implement socket level heartbeat (tcp_keepidle)

130 kes Add -8 option to bsmtp command line to add content type utf-8.
131 Fixes bug #809. (Character coding problem in bsmtp).
132 kes If < is found in target (from, to, cc) then do not enclose the
133 target in < > in bsmtp. Fixes bug #772 (malformed address).
134 kes When printing certain items in dbcheck, stop after 300000.
135 Fixes bug #822. (dbcheck loops).

149 Add a regression script to test RunScript
151 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
154 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
155 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
156 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
157 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
159 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
162 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
163 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
165 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
166 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
167 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
168 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
169 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
170 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
172 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
173 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
174 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

184 kes Tweak new Volume code.
186 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
187 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
188 should be enclosed in double quotes.
189 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
190 it should normally be off in a production system.
192 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
193 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
194 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
195 is now owned by the device.
197 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
198 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
199 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
201 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
202 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.

208 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
209 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
210 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
211 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
213 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
214 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
215 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
216 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
217 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
218 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
220 kes Make database name and user configurable
221 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
222 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
224 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
225 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
226 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
229 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
230 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error

247 No install yet though.
249 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
250 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
251 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
252 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
254 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
255 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
257 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
258 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
259 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
261 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
262 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
263 amount of duplicated code.
264 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
265 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
266 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
268 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
270 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
271 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
272 Fix sql stuff for mysql
274 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
275 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
276 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
277 of other prune/purge subroutines.
278 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
279 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
281 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
282 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
283 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
284 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
285 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
287 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
288 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
290 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
291 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
292 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
293 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
294 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
295 and bacula access to the DB.
296 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
297 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
298 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
299 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
300 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
301 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
302 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
304 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
305 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
306 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
308 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
309 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
312 kes Extend new GUI API.
313 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
314 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
316 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from

319 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
321 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
323 kes More bat implementation.
324 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
325 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
326 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
327 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
328 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
329 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
330 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
331 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
333 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
336 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
337 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
338 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
339 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
341 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
342 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
344 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
345 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
347 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
348 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
351 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
353 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
355 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
356 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
358 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
359 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
360 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
362 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
363 than English. Fixes bug #788.
365 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
367 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
368 It will be fixed soon.
369 If you want to use this, you can apply
370 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
372 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
373 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
374 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
375 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
376 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
377 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
378 update volume=xxx frompool
379 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
382 RecyclePool = Scratch
386 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
387 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
388 that returns more information and will make it easier
389 to interface to the Director from a program.
391 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
392 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
393 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
394 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
395 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
396 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
397 the Changer Command to an empty string.
399 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
400 in a single write() request rather than in two.
401 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
402 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
404 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
405 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
406 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
407 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
409 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
410 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
412 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
413 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
414 was opened, it is closed.
416 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
417 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
418 in the case of orphaned records.
419 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
420 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
421 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
422 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
423 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
424 happens to the ScratchPool?
425 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
426 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
427 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
428 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
429 times are in Bacula units.
430 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
432 kes Update projects list.
434 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
435 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
436 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
437 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
438 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
440 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
441 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
442 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
444 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
445 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
447 Switch to using Subversion
448 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
450 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
451 plus the entrypoints.
452 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
453 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
454 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
456 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
457 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
459 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
460 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
461 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
463 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
464 problem is with read or append.
466 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
467 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
468 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
469 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
470 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
471 (i.e. migration jobs).
472 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
473 a memory leak problem.
474 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
475 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
476 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
477 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
478 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
479 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
480 (hides some of the ugly casting).
481 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
482 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
483 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
484 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
485 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
486 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
487 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
488 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
489 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
491 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
493 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
494 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
495 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
497 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
498 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
500 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
501 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
503 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
504 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
505 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
506 other DIR specifications.
508 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
509 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
510 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
512 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
514 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
515 backup. This should fix bug #755.
516 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
520 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
521 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
522 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
524 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
526 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
527 This *should* fix bug #747.
528 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
531 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
532 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
533 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
534 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
535 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
536 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
538 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
539 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
