1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Free an unreleased buffer in compat code.
6 kes Change console Job name from *Console* to -Console- to eliminate
7 Win32 filename problems. Put Win32 path separator when creating
8 Console file. This fixes bug #846.
9 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
11 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
13 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
14 to force Win32 error message.
16 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
17 but nothing is done with it yet.
18 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
19 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
20 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
22 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
23 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
26 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
27 File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.

41 kes Apply CentOS patches someone sent me. Checks for /var/run/subsys,
42 the /var/lock/subsys for subsysdir. Also corrects typos in the
45 kes First cut update job.

61 kes Apply patch from John Goerzen to add hostname as fourth argument
62 to make_catalog_backup script.
63 kes Fix typos I introduced into bsmtp.c

78 kes Warn during install if old gnome-console binary found.
79 kes Warn during install if old wx-console binary found.
80 kes Add -8 option to bsmtp command line to add content type utf-8.
81 Fixes bug #809. (Character coding problem in bsmtp).
82 kes If < is found in target (from, to, cc) then do not enclose the
83 target in < > in bsmtp. Fixes bug #772 (malformed address).
84 kes When printing certain items in dbcheck, stop after 300000.
85 Fixes bug #822. (dbcheck loops).
86 kes Incorrect status in Dir after waiting for mount with poll set.
89 kes Extend idea of Prefer Mounted Volumes to mean a volume about
91 kes Print waiting to reserve a device every 5 mins.

98 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
99 Add a regression script to test RunScript
101 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
104 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
105 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
106 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
107 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
109 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
112 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
113 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
115 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
116 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
117 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
118 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
119 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
120 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
122 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
123 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
124 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
125 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
126 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
127 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
128 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.

130 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
131 is properly initiated.
133 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
134 kes Tweak new Volume code.
136 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
137 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
138 should be enclosed in double quotes.
139 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
140 it should normally be off in a production system.
142 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
143 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
144 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
145 is now owned by the device.
147 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
148 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
149 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
151 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
152 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
154 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
155 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
158 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
159 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
160 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
161 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
163 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
164 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
165 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
166 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
167 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
168 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
170 kes Make database name and user configurable
171 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
172 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
174 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
175 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
176 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
179 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
180 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
182 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
183 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
185 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
186 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console

190 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
193 kes More pruning cleanup.
194 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
195 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
196 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
197 No install yet though.
199 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
200 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
201 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
202 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
204 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
205 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
207 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
208 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
209 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
211 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
212 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
213 amount of duplicated code.
214 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
215 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
216 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
218 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
220 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
221 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
222 Fix sql stuff for mysql
224 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
225 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
226 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
227 of other prune/purge subroutines.
228 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
229 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
231 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
232 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
233 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
234 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
235 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
237 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
238 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
240 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
241 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
242 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
243 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
244 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
245 and bacula access to the DB.
246 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
247 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
248 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
249 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
250 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
251 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
252 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
254 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
255 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
256 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
258 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
259 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
262 kes Extend new GUI API.
263 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
264 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
266 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
268 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
269 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
271 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
273 kes More bat implementation.
274 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
275 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
276 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
277 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
278 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
279 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
280 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
281 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
283 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
286 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
287 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
288 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
289 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
291 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
292 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
294 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
295 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
297 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
298 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
301 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
303 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
305 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
306 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
308 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
309 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
310 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
312 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
313 than English. Fixes bug #788.
315 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
317 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
318 It will be fixed soon.
319 If you want to use this, you can apply
320 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
322 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
323 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
324 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
325 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
326 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
327 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
328 update volume=xxx frompool
329 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
332 RecyclePool = Scratch
336 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
337 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
338 that returns more information and will make it easier
339 to interface to the Director from a program.
341 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
342 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
343 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
344 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
345 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
346 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
347 the Changer Command to an empty string.
349 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
350 in a single write() request rather than in two.
351 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
352 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
354 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
355 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
356 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
357 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
359 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
360 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
362 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
363 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
364 was opened, it is closed.
366 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
367 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
368 in the case of orphaned records.
369 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
370 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
371 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
372 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
373 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
374 happens to the ScratchPool?
375 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
376 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
377 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
378 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
379 times are in Bacula units.
380 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
382 kes Update projects list.
384 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
385 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
386 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
387 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
388 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
390 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
391 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
392 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
394 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
395 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
397 Switch to using Subversion
398 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
400 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
401 plus the entrypoints.
402 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
403 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
404 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
406 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
407 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
409 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
410 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
411 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
413 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
414 problem is with read or append.
416 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
417 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
418 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
419 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
420 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
421 (i.e. migration jobs).
422 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
423 a memory leak problem.
424 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
425 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
426 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
427 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
428 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
429 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
430 (hides some of the ugly casting).
431 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
432 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
433 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
434 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
435 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
436 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
437 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
438 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
439 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
441 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
443 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
444 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
445 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
447 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
448 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
450 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
451 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
453 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
454 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
455 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
456 other DIR specifications.
458 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
459 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
460 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
462 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
464 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
465 backup. This should fix bug #755.
466 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
470 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
471 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
472 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
474 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
476 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
477 This *should* fix bug #747.
478 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
481 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
482 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
483 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
484 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
485 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
486 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
488 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
489 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
