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