1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
6 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
7 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
8 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
9 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
10 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
11 update volume=xxx frompool
12 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
19 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
20 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
21 that returns more information and will make it easier
22 to interface to the Director from a program.
24 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
25 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
26 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
27 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
28 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
29 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
30 the Changer Command to an empty string.
32 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
33 in a single write() request rather than in two.
34 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
35 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
37 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
38 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
39 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
40 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
42 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
43 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
45 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
46 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
47 was opened, it is closed.
49 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
50 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
51 in the case of orphaned records.
52 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
53 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
54 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
55 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
56 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
57 happens to the ScratchPool?
58 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
59 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
60 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
61 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
62 times are in Bacula units.
63 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
65 kes Update projects list.
67 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
68 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
69 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
70 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
71 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
73 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
74 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
75 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
77 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
78 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
80 Switch to using Subversion
81 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
83 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
85 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
86 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
87 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
89 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
90 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
92 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
93 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
94 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes
96 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
97 problem is with read or append.
99 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
100 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
101 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
102 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
103 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
104 (i.e. migration jobs).
105 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
106 a memory leak problem.
107 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
108 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
109 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
110 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
111 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
112 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
113 (hides some of the ugly casting).
114 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
115 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
116 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
117 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
118 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
119 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
120 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
121 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
122 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
124 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
126 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
127 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
128 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
130 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
131 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
133 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
134 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
136 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
137 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
138 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
139 other DIR specifications.
141 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
142 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
143 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
145 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
147 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
148 backup. This should fix bug #755.
149 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
153 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
154 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
155 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
157 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
159 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
160 This *should* fix bug #747.
161 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
164 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
165 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
166 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
167 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
168 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
169 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
171 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
172 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
174 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
