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