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