Release Notes for Bacula 1.27 Bacula code: Total files = 220 Total lines = 59,468 (*.h *.c *.in) Major Changes this Release: - Implemented support for Sparse files. - Implemented support for all Win32 attributes. - New Volume format. Will permit faster restores, and correct restores of Volumes written with multiple simultaneous jobs. - Important change to communications protocol. Eliminated deprecated 0 signal. Minor Changes this Release: - Mount Anonymous Volumes is now dropped from the Storage daemon configuration files. - Accept Any Volume is by default "Yes" and permits Bacula to accept any appendable volume from the pool. Previously, it would accept ONLY the next appendable volume. To get the old behavior add "Accept Any Volume = No" to the Storage resources of your Director's configuration file. - Improve handling of the "Where" prefix on Win32 by first stripping any previous drive. This allows restoration to any drive. - Modified Director-FD logon sequence to pass the OS id strings to the director. - Fixed mount loop when the autochanger slot is incorrect in the catalog. - Updated the bacula script to work on more systems. Items to note: - The Dir-SD protocol has changed since 1.26, so you must update the Director and Storage daemons. - The Dir-FD protocol has changed since 1.26 (and earlier versions of 1.27).
