1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Don't call close_part in label.c if tape and relabel.
6 kes Don't free volume if busy in close() -- should help with
8 ebl Fix #824 RunScript bug (After script could be execute twice)
9 Now, Before Script can use RunsOnSuccess and RunsOnFailure options
10 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
11 Add a regression script to test RunScript
13 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
16 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
17 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
18 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
19 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
21 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
24 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
25 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
27 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
28 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
29 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
30 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
31 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
32 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
34 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
35 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
36 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
37 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
38 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
39 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
40 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
41 kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
42 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
43 is properly initiated.
45 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
46 kes Tweak new Volume code.
48 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
49 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
50 should be enclosed in double quotes.
51 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
52 it should normally be off in a production system.
54 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
55 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
56 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
57 is now owned by the device.
59 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
60 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
61 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
63 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
64 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
66 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
67 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
70 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
71 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
72 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
73 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
75 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
76 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
77 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
78 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
79 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
80 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
82 kes Make database name and user configurable
83 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
84 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
86 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
87 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
88 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
91 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
92 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
94 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
95 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
97 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
98 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
99 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
100 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
102 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
105 kes More pruning cleanup.
106 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
107 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
108 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
109 No install yet though.
111 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
112 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
113 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
114 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
116 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
117 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
119 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
120 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
121 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
123 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
124 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
125 amount of duplicated code.
126 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
127 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
128 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
130 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
132 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
133 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
134 Fix sql stuff for mysql
136 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
137 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
138 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
139 of other prune/purge subroutines.
140 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
141 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
143 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
144 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
145 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
146 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
147 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
149 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
150 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
152 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
153 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
154 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
155 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
156 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
157 and bacula access to the DB.
158 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
159 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
160 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
161 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
162 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
163 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
164 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
166 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
167 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
168 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
170 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
171 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
174 kes Extend new GUI API.
175 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
176 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
178 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
180 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
181 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
183 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
185 kes More bat implementation.
186 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
187 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
188 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
189 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
190 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
191 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
192 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
193 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
195 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
198 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
199 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
200 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
201 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
203 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
204 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
206 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
207 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
209 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
210 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
213 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
215 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
217 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
218 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
220 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
221 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
222 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
224 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
225 than English. Fixes bug #788.
227 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
229 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
230 It will be fixed soon.
231 If you want to use this, you can apply
232 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
234 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
235 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
236 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
237 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
238 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
239 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
240 update volume=xxx frompool
241 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
244 RecyclePool = Scratch
248 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
249 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
250 that returns more information and will make it easier
251 to interface to the Director from a program.
253 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
254 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
255 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
256 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
257 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
258 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
259 the Changer Command to an empty string.
261 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
262 in a single write() request rather than in two.
263 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
264 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
266 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
267 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
268 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
269 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
271 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
272 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
274 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
275 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
276 was opened, it is closed.
278 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
279 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
280 in the case of orphaned records.
281 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
282 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
283 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
284 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
285 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
286 happens to the ScratchPool?
287 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
288 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
289 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
290 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
291 times are in Bacula units.
292 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
294 kes Update projects list.
296 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
297 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
298 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
299 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
300 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
302 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
303 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
304 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
306 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
307 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
309 Switch to using Subversion
310 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
312 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
313 plus the entrypoints.
314 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
315 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
316 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
318 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
319 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
321 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
322 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
323 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
325 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
326 problem is with read or append.
328 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
329 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
330 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
331 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
332 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
333 (i.e. migration jobs).
334 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
335 a memory leak problem.
336 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
337 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
338 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
339 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
340 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
341 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
342 (hides some of the ugly casting).
343 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
344 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
345 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
346 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
347 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
348 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
349 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
350 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
351 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
353 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
355 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
356 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
357 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
359 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
360 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
362 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
363 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
365 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
366 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
367 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
368 other DIR specifications.
370 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
371 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
372 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
374 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
376 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
377 backup. This should fix bug #755.
378 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
382 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
383 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
384 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
386 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
388 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
389 This *should* fix bug #747.
390 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
393 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
394 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
395 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
396 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
397 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
398 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
400 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
401 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
