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