1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
6 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
7 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
8 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
9 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
10 kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
11 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
12 is properly initiated.
14 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
15 kes Tweak new Volume code.
17 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
18 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
19 should be enclosed in double quotes.
20 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
21 it should normally be off in a production system.
23 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
24 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
25 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
26 is now owned by the device.
28 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
29 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
30 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
32 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
33 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
35 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
36 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
39 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
40 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
41 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
42 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
44 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
45 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
46 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
47 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
48 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
49 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
51 kes Make database name and user configurable
52 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
53 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
55 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
56 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
57 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
60 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
61 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
63 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
64 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
66 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
67 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
68 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
69 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
71 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
74 kes More pruning cleanup.
75 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
76 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
77 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
78 No install yet though.
80 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
81 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
82 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
83 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
85 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
86 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
88 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
89 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
90 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
92 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
93 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
94 amount of duplicated code.
95 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
96 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
97 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
99 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
101 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
102 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
103 Fix sql stuff for mysql
105 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
106 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
107 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
108 of other prune/purge subroutines.
109 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
110 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
112 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
113 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
114 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
115 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
116 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
118 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
119 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
121 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
122 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
123 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
124 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
125 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
126 and bacula access to the DB.
127 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
128 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
129 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
130 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
131 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
132 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
133 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
135 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
136 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
137 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
139 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
140 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
143 kes Extend new GUI API.
144 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
145 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
147 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
149 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
150 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
152 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
154 kes More bat implementation.
155 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
156 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
157 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
158 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
159 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
160 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
161 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
162 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
164 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
167 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
168 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
169 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
170 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
172 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
173 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
175 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
176 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
178 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
179 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
182 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
184 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
186 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
187 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
189 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
190 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
191 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
193 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
194 than English. Fixes bug #788.
196 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
198 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
199 It will be fixed soon.
200 If you want to use this, you can apply
201 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
203 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
204 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
205 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
206 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
207 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
208 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
209 update volume=xxx frompool
210 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
213 RecyclePool = Scratch
217 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
218 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
219 that returns more information and will make it easier
220 to interface to the Director from a program.
222 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
223 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
224 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
225 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
226 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
227 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
228 the Changer Command to an empty string.
230 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
231 in a single write() request rather than in two.
232 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
233 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
235 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
236 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
237 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
238 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
240 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
241 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
243 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
244 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
245 was opened, it is closed.
247 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
248 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
249 in the case of orphaned records.
250 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
251 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
252 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
253 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
254 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
255 happens to the ScratchPool?
256 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
257 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
258 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
259 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
260 times are in Bacula units.
261 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
263 kes Update projects list.
265 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
266 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
267 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
268 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
269 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
271 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
272 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
273 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
275 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
276 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
278 Switch to using Subversion
279 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
281 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
282 plus the entrypoints.
283 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
284 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
285 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
287 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
288 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
290 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
291 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
292 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
294 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
295 problem is with read or append.
297 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
298 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
299 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
300 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
301 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
302 (i.e. migration jobs).
303 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
304 a memory leak problem.
305 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
306 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
307 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
308 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
309 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
310 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
311 (hides some of the ugly casting).
312 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
313 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
314 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
315 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
316 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
317 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
318 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
319 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
320 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
322 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
324 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
325 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
326 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
328 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
329 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
331 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
332 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
334 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
335 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
336 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
337 other DIR specifications.
339 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
340 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
341 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
343 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
345 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
346 backup. This should fix bug #755.
347 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
351 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
352 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
353 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
355 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
357 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
358 This *should* fix bug #747.
359 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
362 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
363 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
364 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
365 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
366 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
367 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
369 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
370 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
372 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
