23 kes Print waiting to reserve a device every 5 mins.
25 kes Don't call close_part in label.c if tape and relabel.
26 kes Don't free volume if busy in close() -- should help with
28 ebl Fix #824 RunScript bug (After script could be execute twice)
29 Now, Before Script can use RunsOnSuccess and RunsOnFailure options
30 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
31 Add a regression script to test RunScript
33 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
36 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
37 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
38 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
39 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
41 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
44 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
45 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
47 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
48 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
49 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
50 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
51 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
52 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
54 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
55 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
56 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
57 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
58 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
59 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
60 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
61 kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
62 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
63 is properly initiated.
65 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
66 kes Tweak new Volume code.
68 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
69 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
70 should be enclosed in double quotes.
71 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
72 it should normally be off in a production system.
74 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
75 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
76 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
77 is now owned by the device.
79 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
80 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
81 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
83 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
84 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
86 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
87 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
90 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
91 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
92 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
93 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
95 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
96 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
97 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
98 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
99 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
100 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
102 kes Make database name and user configurable
103 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
104 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
106 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
107 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
108 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
111 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
112 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
114 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
115 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
117 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
118 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
119 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
120 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
122 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
125 kes More pruning cleanup.
126 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
127 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
128 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
129 No install yet though.
131 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
132 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
133 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
134 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
136 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
137 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
139 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
140 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
141 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
143 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
144 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
145 amount of duplicated code.
146 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
147 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
148 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
150 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
152 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
153 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
154 Fix sql stuff for mysql
156 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
157 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
158 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
159 of other prune/purge subroutines.
160 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
161 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
163 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
164 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
165 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
166 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
167 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
169 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
170 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
172 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
173 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
174 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
175 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
176 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
177 and bacula access to the DB.
178 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
179 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
180 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
181 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
182 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
183 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
184 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
186 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
187 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
188 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
190 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
191 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
194 kes Extend new GUI API.
195 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
196 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
198 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
200 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
201 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
203 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
205 kes More bat implementation.
206 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
207 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
208 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
209 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
210 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
211 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
212 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
213 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
215 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
218 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
219 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
220 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
221 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
223 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
224 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
226 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
227 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
229 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
230 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
233 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
235 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
237 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
238 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
240 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
241 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
242 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
244 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
245 than English. Fixes bug #788.
247 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
249 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
250 It will be fixed soon.
251 If you want to use this, you can apply
252 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
254 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
255 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
256 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
257 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
258 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
259 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
260 update volume=xxx frompool
261 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
264 RecyclePool = Scratch
268 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
269 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
270 that returns more information and will make it easier
271 to interface to the Director from a program.
273 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
274 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
275 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
276 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
277 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
278 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
279 the Changer Command to an empty string.
281 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
282 in a single write() request rather than in two.
283 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
284 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
286 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
287 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
288 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
289 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
291 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
292 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
294 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
295 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
296 was opened, it is closed.
298 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
299 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
300 in the case of orphaned records.
301 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
302 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
303 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
304 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
305 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
306 happens to the ScratchPool?
307 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
308 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
309 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
310 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
311 times are in Bacula units.
312 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
314 kes Update projects list.
316 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
317 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
318 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
319 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
320 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
322 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
323 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
324 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
326 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
327 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
329 Switch to using Subversion
330 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
332 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
333 plus the entrypoints.
334 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
335 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
336 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
338 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
339 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
341 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
342 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
343 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
345 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
346 problem is with read or append.
348 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
349 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
350 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
351 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
352 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
353 (i.e. migration jobs).
354 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
355 a memory leak problem.
356 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
357 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
358 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
359 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
360 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
361 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
362 (hides some of the ugly casting).
363 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
364 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
365 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
366 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
367 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
368 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
369 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
370 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
371 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
373 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
375 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
376 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
377 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
379 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
380 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
382 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
383 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
385 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
386 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
387 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
388 other DIR specifications.
390 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
391 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
392 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
394 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
396 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
397 backup. This should fix bug #755.
398 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
402 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
403 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
404 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
406 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
408 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
409 This *should* fix bug #747.
410 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
413 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
414 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
415 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
416 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
417 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
418 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
420 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
421 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
423 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
