2002-mm-dd Version 1.28 (not yet released)
-General: from kes02Dec02
+General:
+- Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
+ it as the development goes on.
- Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
- Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
- Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
- Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
+- Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
+ tape drivers.
Changes submitted this submission:
+29Dec02
+- Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
+- Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
+28Dec02
+- Added more rescue documentation.
+- Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
+- Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
+ configuration file as the default.
+25Dec02
+- Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
+ the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
+ were lost).
+24Dec02
+- Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
+ the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
+ resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
+ fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
+21Dec02
+- Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
+- Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
+- Added skeleton freebsd rescue
+- Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
+- Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
+19Dec02
+- Documented Bare Metal Recovery
+- Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
+- Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
+ was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
+ I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
+18Dec02
+- Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
+- Fix installation mv of query.sql.
+- Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
+- Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
+16Dec02
+- Started adding FileOptions ...
+- Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
+- Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
+- Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
+- Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
+- Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
+- Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
+ block before writing and upon read back.
+- Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
+- Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
+ contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
+- Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
+ static versions of the daemons.
+13Dec02
+- The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
+ using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
+ is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
+ to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
+ blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
+ It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
+ to help guide the user.
+- Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
+12Dec02
+- Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
+ the timer expires, the child process is killed.
+- Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
+- Added a new test to the btape "test" command
+09Dec02
+- More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
+- Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
+- Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
+07Dec02
+- Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
+- Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
+- Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
+- Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
+ in the restore Console command.
+- Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
+ tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
+ both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
+- Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
+ parameters in it.
+- Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
+ prompt.
+- Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
+ new lib/edit.c file.
+02Dec02
