1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
8 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
9 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
10 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
11 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
13 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
14 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
16 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
17 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
19 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
20 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
23 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
25 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
27 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
28 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
30 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
31 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
32 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
34 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
35 than English. Fixes bug #788.
37 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
39 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
40 It will be fixed soon.
41 If you want to use this, you can apply
42 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
44 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
45 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
46 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
47 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
48 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
49 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
50 update volume=xxx frompool
51 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
58 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
59 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
60 that returns more information and will make it easier
61 to interface to the Director from a program.
63 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
64 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
65 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
66 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
67 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
68 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
69 the Changer Command to an empty string.
71 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
72 in a single write() request rather than in two.
73 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
74 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
76 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
77 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
78 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
79 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
81 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
82 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
84 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
85 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
86 was opened, it is closed.
88 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
89 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
90 in the case of orphaned records.
91 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
92 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
93 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
94 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
95 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
96 happens to the ScratchPool?
97 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
98 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
99 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
100 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
101 times are in Bacula units.
102 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
104 kes Update projects list.
106 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
107 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
108 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
109 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
110 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
112 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
113 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
114 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
116 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
117 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
119 Switch to using Subversion
120 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
122 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
123 plus the entrypoints.
124 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
125 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
126 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
128 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
129 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
131 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
132 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
133 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
135 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
136 problem is with read or append.
138 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
139 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
140 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
141 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
142 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
143 (i.e. migration jobs).
144 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
145 a memory leak problem.
146 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
147 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
148 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
149 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
150 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
151 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
152 (hides some of the ugly casting).
153 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
154 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
155 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
156 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
157 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
158 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
159 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
160 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
161 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
163 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
165 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
166 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
167 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
169 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
170 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
172 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
173 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
175 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
176 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
177 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
178 other DIR specifications.
180 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
181 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
182 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
184 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
186 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
187 backup. This should fix bug #755.
188 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
192 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
193 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
194 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
196 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
198 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
199 This *should* fix bug #747.
200 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
203 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
204 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
205 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
206 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
207 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
208 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
210 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
211 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
