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