1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Print waiting to reserve a device every 5 mins.
7 kes Don't call close_part in label.c if tape and relabel.
8 kes Don't free volume if busy in close() -- should help with
10 ebl Fix #824 RunScript bug (After script could be execute twice)
11 Now, Before Script can use RunsOnSuccess and RunsOnFailure options
12 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
13 Add a regression script to test RunScript
15 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
18 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
19 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
20 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
21 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
23 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
26 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
27 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
29 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
30 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
31 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
32 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
33 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
34 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
36 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
37 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
38 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
39 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
40 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
41 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
42 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
43 kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
44 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
45 is properly initiated.
47 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
48 kes Tweak new Volume code.
50 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
51 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
52 should be enclosed in double quotes.
53 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
54 it should normally be off in a production system.
56 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
57 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
58 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
59 is now owned by the device.
61 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
62 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
63 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
65 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
66 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
68 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
69 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
72 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
73 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
74 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
75 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
77 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
78 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
79 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
80 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
81 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
82 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
84 kes Make database name and user configurable
85 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
86 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
88 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
89 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
90 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
93 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
94 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
96 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
97 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
99 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
100 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
101 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
102 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
104 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
107 kes More pruning cleanup.
108 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
109 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
110 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
111 No install yet though.
113 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
114 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
115 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
116 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
118 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
119 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
121 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
122 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
123 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
125 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
126 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
127 amount of duplicated code.
128 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
129 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
130 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
132 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
134 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
135 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
136 Fix sql stuff for mysql
138 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
139 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
140 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
141 of other prune/purge subroutines.
142 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
143 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
145 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
146 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
147 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
148 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
149 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
151 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
152 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
154 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
155 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
156 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
157 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
158 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
159 and bacula access to the DB.
160 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
161 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
162 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
163 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
164 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
165 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
166 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
168 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
169 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
170 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
172 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
173 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
176 kes Extend new GUI API.
177 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
178 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
180 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
182 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
183 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
185 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
187 kes More bat implementation.
188 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
189 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
190 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
191 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
192 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
193 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
194 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
195 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
197 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
200 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
201 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
202 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
203 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
205 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
206 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
208 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
209 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
211 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
212 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
215 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
217 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
219 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
220 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
222 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
223 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
224 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
226 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
227 than English. Fixes bug #788.
229 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
231 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
232 It will be fixed soon.
233 If you want to use this, you can apply
234 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
236 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
237 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
238 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
239 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
240 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
241 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
242 update volume=xxx frompool
243 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
246 RecyclePool = Scratch
250 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
251 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
252 that returns more information and will make it easier
253 to interface to the Director from a program.
255 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
256 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
257 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
258 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
259 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
260 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
261 the Changer Command to an empty string.
263 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
264 in a single write() request rather than in two.
265 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
266 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
268 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
269 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
270 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
271 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
273 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
274 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
276 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
277 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
278 was opened, it is closed.
280 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
281 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
282 in the case of orphaned records.
283 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
284 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
285 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
286 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
287 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
288 happens to the ScratchPool?
289 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
290 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
291 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
292 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
293 times are in Bacula units.
294 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
296 kes Update projects list.
298 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
299 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
300 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
301 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
302 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
304 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
305 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
306 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
308 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
309 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
311 Switch to using Subversion
312 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
314 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
315 plus the entrypoints.
316 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
317 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
318 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
320 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
321 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
323 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
324 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
325 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
327 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
328 problem is with read or append.
330 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
331 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
332 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
333 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
334 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
335 (i.e. migration jobs).
336 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
337 a memory leak problem.
338 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
339 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
340 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
341 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
342 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
343 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
344 (hides some of the ugly casting).
345 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
346 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
347 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
348 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
349 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
350 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
351 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
352 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
353 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
355 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
357 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
358 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
359 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
361 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
362 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
364 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
365 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
367 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
368 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
369 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
370 other DIR specifications.
372 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
373 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
374 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
376 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
378 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
379 backup. This should fix bug #755.
380 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
384 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
385 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
386 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
388 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
390 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
391 This *should* fix bug #747.
392 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
395 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
396 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
397 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
398 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
399 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
400 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
402 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
403 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
