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