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