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