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