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