-Other Items Fixed:
-- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
- ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
-- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
- which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
- Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
- (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
- program must be patched using the
- <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
- You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
-- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
- files, called 'parts'.
-- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
- Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
-- The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed
- by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions
- to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive. If
- all else fails, change to using user=root. However, it is more secure
- to use user=bacula.
+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. Define qwt libraries with
+ --with-qwt=<dir>. See Installation chapter of manual for details.
+- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are
+ needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both
+ these packages in the distro.
+- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead
+ of prepending.
+- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the
+ Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount
+ directives are defined.
+- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries.
+- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor.
+ Use the command line or the Services panne.
+- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool.
+- More debug output in status storage.
+- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some
+ critical columns were lost).
+- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems,
+ which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which
+ should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly
+ (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but
+ concurrent jobs should run much faster.
+- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
+ the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
+- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
+ pool and media type when a job is waiting.
+- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
+- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
+- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request)
+- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request)
+- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
+- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
+- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
+ in front of the configuration path/filename.
+- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
+ memory usage, and an in use buffer dump.
+- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
+ filename restrictions.
+- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug.
+- Additional version information added to Job reports.
+- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
+- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
+ is already a < in the target.
+- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
+ mounted by another job.
+- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
+- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
+- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
+- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
+- Drop from root done before database is opened.
+- Database user and name can be configured with:
+ --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
+- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
+- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
+ This appears to have been an unreported bug.
+- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
+- Better restricted console ACL checking.
+- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
+ users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
+- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
+ job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
+- Sockets are no longer restored.
+- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
+- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
+ large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
+- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
+- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
+ which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies
+ the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
+ not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
+- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
+ catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
+ and DVD).
