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