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