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