Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.9 Bacula code: Total files = 498 Total lines = 167,596 (*.h *.c *.in) 82 new files, 41,221 new lines of code, 208,380 lines of change from 2.0.3 This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time, but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0. Version 2.2.9 is a bug fix to version 2.2.8: - *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9 Mostly SD reservations enhancements. - Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038. - Fixes a StorageId problem with volumes after migration. - Implements autostart scripts for Debian - Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program. - Apply doc fix from bug #1062. - Resolve crash and improper restore wx-console Win32 restore GUI. Fixes bug #1065. - Update Win32 wxWidgets to latest version. - Attempt to do correct handling of Win32 mount points. Should fix bug #1046. - Add const to AIX prototype for initgroups() - Undo bug #1047 heap overrun fix as it is not correct. - Fix to the JobMedia patch, which introduced a new problem. - Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs. - Fix bug #1047, do not strip paths on symbolic links. - Set catalog backup database and user name from values specified on the ./configure line. - Apply patch to correct bug #1031, about wrong pool source information in job report. Version 2.2.8 is a bug fix to version 2.2.7: - It fixes bugs: 1036, 1033(doc), 1028, 1040, 1045(doc), 1030, 1042(partially), and possibly bugs 1018 and 1032. Bugs 1018 and 1032 involve problems with multiple-drive autochangers, and are difficult to reproduce. See the ChangeLog for more details. Version 2.2.7 has several new features and several important bug fixes since version 2.2.6: - It fixes bugs: 1009, 1022, 1024, 1019, 1012, 1021, 1020 1007, 1008. For more details, please see the technotes-2.1 file. - Fixed a seg fault reported by Frank Sweetser that depended on exact path lengths, but the problem was in bsnprintf.c - Double quoting include filenames (@xxx) in Bacula conf files is now possible, thanks to a patch by Michael Stapelberg. - You can pipe input to include filenames (@|prog) by using a vertical bar, thanks to the above patch. - A daylight savings time bug in the Win32 bsmpt was fixed by a patch from Nerijus Baliunas. - Marc Cousins submitted a patch that permits building the PostgreSQL driver with version 8.3. - The configure option --archivedir has been changed to --with-archivedir Version 2.2.6 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.5 - It fixes bugs: #1003, 942, 982, 990(response only), 991, 993, 986, 976. - Fix bat crash wen it cannot connect to Director. - Fix joblist failure bug in bat. Version 2.2.5 is a major bug fix release to version 2.2.4 - It fixes the following bugs: #961, 962, 963, 969, 968, 960, 964, (possibly 935 and 903), 953, 953, 967, 966, 965, 954, 957, 908, 958, and 955. - It also improves listing performance problems in bat pointed out by Chris Howells. Version 2.2.4 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.3 - Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953. - Possible fix for bug #908. - Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid file to always be deleted. - Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property. This fixes bug #950. - Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking. Fixes bug #906. - Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices are released as soon as possible. - Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point in bug #942, but not the main problem. - Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes by skipping |. Fixes bug #936. - Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU. - Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works as expected. - Using "m" in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions and not memory usage. - Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor program. Version 2.2.3 is a critical bug fix release to version 2.2.2 - Fix bug #935, and possibly also bug #903 where files were not restored. MediaId was not properly set in JobMedia record after a Volume change. This bug is known to affect all versions from 2.0.0 on, and probably versions prior to that. A detailed analysis of the bug can be found at: http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-395.txt - Add ./configure search in qwt-qt4 for qwt package - Apply Martin Simmons patch that should turn off the new API usage when batch insert is turned off allowing building on older PostgreSQLs. - Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor program. Version 2.2.2 is a minor bug fix release to 2.2.1 - Detect if new PosgreSQL batch insert API is present. - Correct incorrect mempool call causing Director crash on older systems that do not have va_copy(). - Update spec files for 2.2.1 release Version 2.2.1 is mainly a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.0, the main changes since 2.2.0 are: - Fixed bugs #921, 930, and 923. - More portable timezone offset in bsmtp thaks to Attila Fülöp. - Fix several bat issues. - Use GTK+ calls instead of egg files in tray-monitor. - Win32 service routines rewritten - Updated projects file Please see the ChangeLog for details. Notes on 2.2.0 release follow: Areas requiring caution or testing: - You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded to build with MySQL enabled. - Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions. - Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent to what we do with sockets). - SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris. - The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'. This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly. The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h - Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse points. - Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work. The major new features are: - Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times), many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin. - First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley. - Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading). - The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files thanks to Eric. - Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested). - posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent implemented. - Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers. - Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system. - Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled. - New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric. - Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists. - Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir' - Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged, during pruning, it is immediately discovered. - License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice. New ./configure options: - --enable-bwx-console - --enable-bat - --with-qwt= - --with-db-name= - --with-db-user= - --enable-batch-insert New bconsole commands: - exec - memory - update recyclepool - .sql - .api - .pwd (in restore tree) - restoreclient (keyword) - backupclient (keyword) - regexwhere (keyword) - update jobid (new command) - recyclepool (keyword) New directives: - Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf) - Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage) - TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client) - Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job) - Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job) - Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job) - Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job) - Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool) - FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript) - CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet) - StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet) Other features or bug fixes: - Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907, 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859, 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772, 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791, 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764, 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743. - Configure bat with --enable-bat.
