1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
6 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
7 should be enclosed in double quotes.
8 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
9 it should normally be off in a production system.
11 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
12 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
13 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
14 is now owned by the device.
16 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
17 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
18 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
20 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
21 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
23 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
24 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
27 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
28 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
29 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
30 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
32 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
33 it has changed during backup, if "checkfilechanges" is set.
34 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
35 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
36 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
37 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
39 kes Make database name and user configurable
40 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
41 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
43 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
44 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
45 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
48 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
49 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
51 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
52 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
54 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
55 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
56 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
57 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
59 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
62 kes More pruning cleanup.
63 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
64 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
65 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
66 No install yet though.
68 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
69 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
70 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
71 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
73 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
74 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
76 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
77 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
78 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
80 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
81 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
82 amount of duplicated code.
83 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
84 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
85 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
87 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
89 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
90 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
91 Fix sql stuff for mysql
93 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
94 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
95 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
96 of other prune/purge subroutines.
97 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
98 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
100 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
101 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
102 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
103 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
104 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
106 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
107 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
109 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
110 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
111 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
112 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
113 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
114 and bacula access to the DB.
115 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
116 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
117 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
118 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
119 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
120 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
121 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
123 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
124 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
125 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
127 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
128 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
131 kes Extend new GUI API.
132 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
133 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
135 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
137 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
138 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
140 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
142 kes More bat implementation.
143 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
144 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
145 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
146 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
147 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
148 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
149 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
150 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
152 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
155 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
156 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
157 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
158 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
160 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
161 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
163 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
164 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
166 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
167 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
170 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
172 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
174 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
175 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
177 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
178 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
179 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
181 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
182 than English. Fixes bug #788.
184 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
186 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
187 It will be fixed soon.
188 If you want to use this, you can apply
189 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
191 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
192 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
193 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
194 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
195 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
196 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
197 update volume=xxx frompool
198 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
201 RecyclePool = Scratch
205 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
206 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
207 that returns more information and will make it easier
208 to interface to the Director from a program.
210 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
211 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
212 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
213 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
214 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
215 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
216 the Changer Command to an empty string.
218 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
219 in a single write() request rather than in two.
220 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
221 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
223 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
224 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
225 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
226 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
228 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
229 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
231 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
232 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
233 was opened, it is closed.
235 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
236 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
237 in the case of orphaned records.
238 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
239 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
240 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
241 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
242 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
243 happens to the ScratchPool?
244 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
245 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
246 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
247 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
248 times are in Bacula units.
249 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
251 kes Update projects list.
253 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
254 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
255 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
256 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
257 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
259 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
260 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
261 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
263 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
264 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
266 Switch to using Subversion
267 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
269 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
270 plus the entrypoints.
271 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
272 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
273 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
275 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
276 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
278 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
279 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
280 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
282 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
283 problem is with read or append.
285 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
286 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
287 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
288 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
289 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
290 (i.e. migration jobs).
291 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
292 a memory leak problem.
293 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
294 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
295 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
296 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
297 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
298 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
299 (hides some of the ugly casting).
300 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
301 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
302 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
303 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
304 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
305 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
306 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
307 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
308 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
310 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
312 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
313 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
314 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
316 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
317 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
319 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
320 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
322 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
323 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
324 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
325 other DIR specifications.
327 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
328 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
329 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
331 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
333 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
334 backup. This should fix bug #755.
335 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
339 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
340 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
341 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
343 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
345 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
346 This *should* fix bug #747.
347 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
350 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
351 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
352 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
353 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
354 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
355 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
357 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
358 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
360 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
