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