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