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