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