Release Notes for Bacula 1.32d Bacula code: Total files = 259 Total lines = 78,087 (*.h *.c *.in) Most Significant Changes since 1.32c - Mainly a bug fix release. - Do a clean of both Gnome directories. - Require that FileSet id match when finding an Incremental previous job. This was already the case for a Full. - Print message if no status returned from FD. - Correct "Do not forget to mount the drive" message. Test was backward. - "status dir" stopped scanning the run records on the first one that matched giving an incomplete listing. - Edit commas in Bytes on "estimate" command output. Most Significant Changes since 1.32b - Implemented a RunAfterFailedJob record in the Job resource. - Implemented "delete job" command in the Console. - Gnome 2.0 console compiles and works. - Implemented VerifyJob record in the Job resource that tells Verify which job to verify (JobId not required) - First cut Verify Disk to Catalog - Fix "status dir" to examine all run commands in Schedule. - Close unused file descriptors in bpipe.c - There is now a patch for FreeBSD 4.8 pthreads that fixes the problems of data loss at the end of a tape. Please see: /platforms/freebsd/pthreads-fix.txt - Fixed (I think) the elusive Windows "packet too big" bug. - Added %v to RunBefore/After editing codes. It edits in a list of Volumes used for the job (not tested). Most Significant Changes since 1.32a: - Improve forward space file/block during restore, many optimizations. - Fix a Bacula bug that did not allow appending to a tape on FreeBSD systems. - Fix pruning so that it will not prune the current job. - Modify configure to use non-threaded MySQL client lib if the threaded version is not present. - Implement restore by file before date. - When pruning don't prune the current job. Major Changes 1.32a Release: - Implemented forward space file/block whenever possible during restore. Restoring a small number of files is now much faster. - There is a new option to restore that allows you to restore files based on their Filename. You can also specify a file to read which contains the list. - Added ClientRunBeforeJob and ClientRunAfterJob. - Implemented Include | and < in File daemon. - Automatic labeling of tape Volumes should work now. - Recycling has been completely restructured and should work. - Implemented full length time interval qualifiers (e.g "5n is now "5 min" or "5 minutes". A modifier is now required! - Fixed gnome-console to compile with RH9 (Gnome 2.0) - Implemented "list nextvol job=xxx", which displays the next volume to be used by job xxx. The Volume name to be used is also added to the "status dir" output. - Lots of fixes with variable expansion and counter variables - Implemented a new Include/Exclude syntax. - While writing a tape, an end of file mark will be written every 1Gb. This makes restores faster. If you want to change this use "Maximum File Size" in the SD Device resource. Other Changes 1.32a Release: - Fixed sparse file bug. - A warning message is sent when a job starts that will be blocked because the user did an "unmount". - Block checksum errors if any are printed in the job report. - Implemented a single routine to read_records. It also returns a different record packet for each session. This means that multiple simultaneous jobs should work. - Added SDConnectTimeout to FD. - Lots of doc enhancements - Fixed a PurgeOldestVolume bug (VolStatus not returned) - Don't crash if DB address record not specified. - Return VolStatus on find_next_volume. - Use alist for incexe name_list. - Use bget_dirmsg() everywhere possible when talking to FD. - Delete old semaphore job and workq job scheduling code. - edit_run_codes in one place (/lib) Add Job name - Update query.sql to find current backups correctly. - Correct ambiguous SQL statement for pruning. - Set heartbeat interval to zero by default. - Fix a possible race condition in stopping the heartbeat thread. - Eliminate gnome2-console directory. Everything is in gnome-console - Enhanced "packet too big" message to indicate who sent it. - Corrected console prompt problem in non-readline versions. - Correct a number of variable expansion problems. - Added a number of new regression tests. - In an attempt to make configuration a bit less confusing, I've changed the name of a number of variables. The old ones still work, but will be phased out over time. FDAddress, FDPassword, SDAddress SDPassword, SDDeviceName, and DBPassword. - A possible fix to the very intermittent SD crashes that Alex gets. Items to note: !!!!! - Modifiers (sec, min, hour, day, ...) are now required on conf file time interval specifications. - Duplicate names within the same conf resource are prohibited. - If you have used a prior BETA version of 1.32, please do the following to cleanup any zero length spool files: cd rm -f *.spool.* Please be sure there are no spaces between the asterisks and the periods.
