1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
6 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
7 Fix sql stuff for mysql
9 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
10 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
11 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
12 of other prune/purge subroutines.
13 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
14 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
16 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
17 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
18 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
19 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
20 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
22 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
23 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
25 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
26 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
27 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
28 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
29 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
30 and bacula access to the DB.
31 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
32 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
33 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
34 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
35 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
36 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
37 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
39 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
40 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
41 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
43 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
44 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
47 kes Extend new GUI API.
48 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
49 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
51 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
53 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
54 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
56 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
58 kes More bat implementation.
59 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
60 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
61 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
62 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
63 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
64 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
65 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
66 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
68 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
71 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
72 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
73 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
74 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
76 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
77 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
79 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
80 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
82 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
83 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
86 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
88 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
90 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
91 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
93 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
94 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
95 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
97 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
98 than English. Fixes bug #788.
100 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
102 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
103 It will be fixed soon.
104 If you want to use this, you can apply
105 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
107 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
108 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
109 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
110 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
111 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
112 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
113 update volume=xxx frompool
114 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
117 RecyclePool = Scratch
121 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
122 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
123 that returns more information and will make it easier
124 to interface to the Director from a program.
126 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
127 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
128 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
129 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
130 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
131 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
132 the Changer Command to an empty string.
134 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
135 in a single write() request rather than in two.
136 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
137 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
139 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
140 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
141 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
142 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
144 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
145 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
147 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
148 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
149 was opened, it is closed.
151 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
152 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
153 in the case of orphaned records.
154 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
155 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
156 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
157 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
158 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
159 happens to the ScratchPool?
160 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
161 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
162 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
163 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
164 times are in Bacula units.
165 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
167 kes Update projects list.
169 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
170 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
171 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
172 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
173 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
175 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
176 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
177 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
179 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
180 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
182 Switch to using Subversion
183 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
185 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
186 plus the entrypoints.
187 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
188 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
189 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
191 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
192 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
194 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
195 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
196 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
198 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
199 problem is with read or append.
201 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
202 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
203 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
204 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
205 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
206 (i.e. migration jobs).
207 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
208 a memory leak problem.
209 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
210 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
211 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
212 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
213 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
214 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
215 (hides some of the ugly casting).
216 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
217 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
218 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
219 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
220 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
221 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
222 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
223 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
224 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
226 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
228 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
229 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
230 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
232 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
233 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
235 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
236 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
238 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
239 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
240 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
241 other DIR specifications.
243 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
244 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
245 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
247 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
249 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
250 backup. This should fix bug #755.
251 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
255 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
256 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
257 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
259 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
261 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
262 This *should* fix bug #747.
263 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
266 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
267 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
268 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
269 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
270 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
271 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
273 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
274 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
276 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
