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