22 Items to note for 1.36.3!!!
23 - Drop support of old style Include/Excludes. Matt Howard has
24 supplied a handy Perl program that will do a good job of
25 converting your FileSets. It can be found in
26 examples/conf/fileset_convert.pl
27 - Dan has reminded us that the arguments for make_catalog_backup
28 changed from 1.34.x to 1.36.1. The old arguments were typically
29 "-U bacula". The new arguments are typically "bacula bacula",
30 where the first is the database name, and the second is the
35 04Mar05 1.36.2-level.patch
36 This patch should fix a problem with th %l editing in the
37 client (FD) where it edited nothing. With this fix, it should
40 04Mar05 1.36.2-pool.patch
41 This patch corrects a problem preventing multiple
42 simultaneous jobs from different pools.
44 09Mar05 1.36.2-win32-drive.patch
45 This patch will prevent the Win32 FD from printing an error message
46 when it attempts to restore the permissions for a drive (which Win32
47 doesn't permit). The error is harmless in any case.
49 15Mar05 1.36.2-netbsd.patch
50 This patch corrects a compile problem because of no statfs()
51 on NetBSD. The patch was submitted by kardel with bug 258.
53 16Mar05 1.36.2-console.patch
54 This patch causes the output directed to a file to be
55 flushed after every line. This is a bit overkill, IMO, but
56 a user complained about it.
58 17Mar05 1.36.2-restore-speed.patch
59 This patch will fix a subtle bug that was introduced in 1.36.2
60 which causes Bacula to be very slow restoring a few files. This
61 is because it reads completely to the end of the Volume rather
62 than stopping when all the files on the Volume are loaded. The
63 introduction of the bug was caused by a patch that fixed
64 Bacula truncating tapes after a restore.
65 Note that all source files will be rebuilt during the make.
67 18Mar05 1.36.2-store.patch
68 This patch fails a job if no Storage resource is specified and
69 the job attempts to call the SD.
71 18Mar05 1.36.2-reschedule.patch
72 This patch should fix a Segfault bug when a job is rescheduled.
73 The storage pointers were being released when they should not
76 24Mar05 1.36.2-wx-console-bugfixes.patch
77 Major wx-console fixes (see src/wx-console/CHANGELOG for details).
79 28Mar05 1.36.2-tray-monitor-memleak.patch
80 This patch should fix memory leaks in tray-monitor.

83 The Bacula Version 1.36.2 tar file is released to Source Forge.
85 Release Notes for Bacula 1.36.2
87 Bacula code: Total files = 398 Total lines = 117,915 (*.h *.c *.in)
89 Major Changes to version 1.36.2:
90 - Applied all fixes for bugs since version 1.36.1 (see below)
91 - Added new directives from 1.37 code (see below).
92 - Applied Tim's patch for ACLS.
93 - Eight new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
94 ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
95 and regexfile, hardlinks. See below for details.
96 - Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
97 - Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
98 - Fix ClientRun jobs on Win32 to faile if the
99 return code is not zero.
101 New Directives in 1.36.2:
102 - New Options keywords in a FileSet directive:
104 Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
107 Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
110 Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
111 will not be matched).
113 Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
114 will not be matched).
115 - IgnoreCase = yes | no
116 Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
117 This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
119 where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
120 reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
121 systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
122 and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
123 specified on the fstype directive does not match the
124 filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
125 not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
126 backing up non-local filesystems.
127 - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
128 If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
129 - In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
130 a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
132 in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
137 Items to note for 1.36.2!!!
138 - Dan has reminded us that the arguments for make_catalog_backup
139 changed from 1.34.x to 1.36.1. The old arguments were typically
140 "-U bacula". The new arguments are typically "bacula bacula",
141 where the first is the database name, and the second is the
146 03Dec04 1.36.1-pool.patch
147 This patch should hold jobs in the Director's start queue if
148 more than one simultaneous backup job wants to use the same
149 Storage device with two different Pools (i.e. 2 Volumes).
151 03Dec04 1.16.1-slots.patch
152 This patch should fix "update slots" with two different
153 magazines in different pools by checking the pool when zapping
156 18Dec04 1.36.1-spool.patch
157 This patch fixes the despooling size printed in the Job
158 report. Previously, it reported the total size for the
159 device. This patch makes it report the size for the job.
161 21Dec04 1.36.1-store.patch
162 This patch fixes a problem with overriding storage daemon
163 specifications. Previously they were not always honored.
164 This implements more uniform handling. It also eliminates
165 an orphaned buffer situation using JobDefs.
167 21Dec04 1.36.1-reload.patch
168 This patch fixes Bacula so that it does not exit if there
169 is a syntax error in its conf file during a reload command.
171 24Dec04 1.36.1-fileset.patch
172 This patch should correct a seg fault in the FD that occurs
173 at the end of a job when the job uses old style include/excludes.
174 Old style include/excludes are deprecated and should be
175 converted to the new style as soon as possible.
177 30Jan05 1.36.1-acl.patch
178 This patch fixes some typos with ACL checking that results
179 in the incorrect name being used for the check.
180 This fixes possible security problems with unwanted
181 access by restricted consoles.
183 15Feb05 1.36.1-truncate.patch
184 This patch fixes a bug where a tape gets "truncated" after
185 doing a restore. The number of files in the catalog do not
186 agree with what Bacula thinks is on tape, then the tape is
