1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
7 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
8 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
9 should be enclosed in double quotes.
10 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
11 it should normally be off in a production system.
13 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
14 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
15 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
16 is now owned by the device.
18 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
19 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
20 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
22 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
23 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
25 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
26 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
29 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
30 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
31 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
32 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
34 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
35 it has changed during backup, if "checkfilechanges" is set.
36 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
37 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
38 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
39 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
41 kes Make database name and user configurable
42 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
43 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
45 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
46 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
47 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
50 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
51 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
53 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
54 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
56 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
57 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
58 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
59 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
61 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
64 kes More pruning cleanup.
65 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
66 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
67 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
68 No install yet though.
70 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
71 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
72 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
73 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
75 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
76 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
78 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
79 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
80 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
82 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
83 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
84 amount of duplicated code.
85 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
86 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
87 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
89 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
91 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
92 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
93 Fix sql stuff for mysql
95 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
96 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
97 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
98 of other prune/purge subroutines.
99 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
100 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
102 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
103 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
104 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
105 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
106 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
108 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
109 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
111 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
112 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
113 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
114 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
115 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
116 and bacula access to the DB.
117 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
118 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
119 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
120 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
121 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
122 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
123 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
125 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
126 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
127 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
129 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
130 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
133 kes Extend new GUI API.
134 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
135 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
137 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
139 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
140 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
142 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
144 kes More bat implementation.
145 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
146 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
147 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
148 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
149 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
150 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
151 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
152 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
154 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
157 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
158 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
159 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
160 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
162 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
163 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
165 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
166 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
168 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
169 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
172 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
174 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
176 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
177 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
179 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
180 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
181 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
183 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
184 than English. Fixes bug #788.
186 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
188 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
189 It will be fixed soon.
190 If you want to use this, you can apply
191 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
193 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
194 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
195 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
196 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
197 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
198 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
199 update volume=xxx frompool
200 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
203 RecyclePool = Scratch
207 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
208 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
209 that returns more information and will make it easier
210 to interface to the Director from a program.
212 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
213 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
214 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
215 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
216 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
217 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
218 the Changer Command to an empty string.
220 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
221 in a single write() request rather than in two.
222 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
223 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
225 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
226 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
227 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
228 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
230 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
231 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
233 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
234 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
235 was opened, it is closed.
237 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
238 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
239 in the case of orphaned records.
240 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
241 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
242 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
243 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
244 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
245 happens to the ScratchPool?
246 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
247 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
248 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
249 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
250 times are in Bacula units.
251 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
253 kes Update projects list.
255 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
256 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
257 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
258 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
259 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
261 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
262 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
263 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
265 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
266 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
268 Switch to using Subversion
269 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
271 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
272 plus the entrypoints.
273 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
274 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
275 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
277 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
278 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
280 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
281 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
282 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
284 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
285 problem is with read or append.
287 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
288 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
289 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
290 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
291 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
292 (i.e. migration jobs).
293 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
294 a memory leak problem.
295 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
296 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
297 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
298 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
299 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
300 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
301 (hides some of the ugly casting).
302 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
303 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
304 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
305 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
306 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
307 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
308 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
309 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
310 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
312 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
314 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
315 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
316 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
318 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
319 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
321 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
322 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
324 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
325 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
326 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
327 other DIR specifications.
329 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
330 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
331 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
333 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
335 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
336 backup. This should fix bug #755.
337 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
341 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
342 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
343 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
345 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
347 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
348 This *should* fix bug #747.
349 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
352 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
353 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
354 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
355 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
356 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
357 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
359 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
360 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
362 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
