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