1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
6 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
7 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
9 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
10 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
12 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
13 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
16 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
17 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
18 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
19 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
21 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
22 it has changed during backup, if "checkfilechanges" is set.
23 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
24 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
25 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
26 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
28 kes Make database name and user configurable
29 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
30 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
32 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
33 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
34 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
37 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
38 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
40 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
41 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
43 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
44 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
45 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
46 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
48 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
51 kes More pruning cleanup.
52 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
53 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
54 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
55 No install yet though.
57 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
58 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
59 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
60 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
62 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
63 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
65 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
66 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
67 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
69 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
70 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
71 amount of duplicated code.
72 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
73 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
74 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
76 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
78 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
79 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
80 Fix sql stuff for mysql
82 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
83 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
84 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
85 of other prune/purge subroutines.
86 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
87 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
89 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
90 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
91 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
92 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
93 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
95 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
96 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
98 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
99 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
100 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
101 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
102 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
103 and bacula access to the DB.
104 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
105 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
106 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
107 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
108 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
109 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
110 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
112 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
113 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
114 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
116 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
117 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
120 kes Extend new GUI API.
121 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
122 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
124 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
126 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
127 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
129 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
131 kes More bat implementation.
132 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
133 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
134 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
135 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
136 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
137 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
138 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
139 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
141 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
144 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
145 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
146 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
147 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
149 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
150 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
152 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
153 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
155 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
156 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
159 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
161 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
163 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
164 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
166 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
167 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
168 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
170 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
171 than English. Fixes bug #788.
173 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
175 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
176 It will be fixed soon.
177 If you want to use this, you can apply
178 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
180 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
181 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
182 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
183 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
184 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
185 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
186 update volume=xxx frompool
187 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
190 RecyclePool = Scratch
194 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
195 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
196 that returns more information and will make it easier
197 to interface to the Director from a program.
199 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
200 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
201 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
202 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
203 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
204 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
205 the Changer Command to an empty string.
207 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
208 in a single write() request rather than in two.
209 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
210 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
212 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
213 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
214 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
215 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
217 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
218 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
220 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
221 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
222 was opened, it is closed.
224 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
225 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
226 in the case of orphaned records.
227 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
228 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
229 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
230 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
231 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
232 happens to the ScratchPool?
233 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
234 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
235 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
236 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
237 times are in Bacula units.
238 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
240 kes Update projects list.
242 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
243 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
244 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
245 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
246 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
248 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
249 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
250 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
252 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
253 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
255 Switch to using Subversion
256 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
258 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
259 plus the entrypoints.
260 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
261 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
262 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
264 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
265 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
267 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
268 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
269 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
271 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
272 problem is with read or append.
274 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
275 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
276 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
277 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
278 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
279 (i.e. migration jobs).
280 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
281 a memory leak problem.
282 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
283 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
284 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
285 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
286 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
287 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
288 (hides some of the ugly casting).
289 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
290 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
291 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
292 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
293 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
294 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
295 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
296 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
297 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
299 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
301 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
302 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
303 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
305 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
306 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
308 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
309 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
311 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
312 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
313 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
314 other DIR specifications.
316 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
317 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
318 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
320 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
322 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
323 backup. This should fix bug #755.
324 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
328 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
329 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
330 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
332 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
334 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
335 This *should* fix bug #747.
336 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
339 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
340 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
341 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
342 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
343 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
344 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
346 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
347 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
349 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
