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