- Release Notes for Bacula 1.33
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 283 Total lines = 84,818 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-New directives:
-- "Close on Poll = yes/no" in SD Device resource.
-- "Volume Poll Interval = time-interval" in SD Device resource.
-- "Two EOF = yes/no" in SD Device resource.
-- "Maximum Network Buffer Size = size" in SD Device resource.
-- "Maximum Network Buffer Size = size" in FD FileDaemon (or Client) resource.
-- "Console" new resource in Director conf file.
- New directives: Name, Description, Password, JobACL, ClientACL,
- StorageACL, ScheduleACL, RunACL, PoolACL, CommandACL,
- FileSetACL, CatalogACL.
-- "Max Run Time = duration" in Director Job resource.
-- "Max Wait Time = duration" in Director Job resource (not fully implemented).
-- "JobDefs = name-of-resource" in Director Job resource.
-- "Jobdefs" new resource in Director. Same directives as for a Job.
-- "Full Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director.
-- "Incremental Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director.
-- "Differential Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director.
-- Three new options on the Run override statement in a Schedule resource:
- FullPool=xxx
- IncrementalPool=xxx
- DifferentialPool=xxx
-
-New Commands:
-- "SetIP"
-- Added "pool=xxx" to restore command line.
-- Added "fileset=xxx" to restore command line.
-- Fixed "storage=xxx" on restore command line.
-- "markdir" command in restore tree.
-- "unmarkdir" command in restore tree.
-- "quit" command in restore tree.
-
-Most Significant Changes since 1.32d
-- The ability to ask the Storage daemon on a device by device basis
- to "poll" the tape drive at a given interval (minimum 1 minute). If
- a tape is found, its label is read and if appropriate it is used.
- This eliminates the need to do "mount" commands.
-- The ability to close and re-open the device when a poll occurs.
- This permits dealing with certain recalcitrant autochangers that
- invalidate devices (typically on FreeBSD).
-- Dan Langille has written a PostgreSQL driver for Bacula.
-- Implement "update slots scan" that reads the volume label(s).
-- The full form of the scan is "scan=1,2,4-5,7". With no specification,
- all occupied slots are scanned.
-- Turn off changer Volumes that are not current in the changer when
- an "update slots" is done, or if any tape operation discovers that
- the right volume is not in the slot.
-- The console program will run all commands it finds in ~/.bconsolerc
- at startup.
-- Add Dan Langille's changes to the bacula start/stop script that
- permit dropping root permissions just after startup.
-- New version 1.5.5-1 Cygwin.
-- Modify SD to update the catalog database when it is shutdown,
- even if the job is canceled.
-- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to
- a single Volume.
-- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to
- a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first
- tape block, so the tape is not recognized.
-
-Other Changes since 1.32d
-- Restore directory tree automatically selects all higher level
- directories to be restored.
-- Implement conio.c to use in console program -- mini-readline.
-- Enhance "fill" command of btape -- simpler output. Use -v to
- cause last block to be dumped after write and after re-read.
-- Added an autochanger test to the btape "test" command. It is
- automatically invoked if the autochanger is properly configured. It
- is still a bit primitive but covers the essential of testing
- the mtx-changer script with your autochanger.
-- Select the oldest LastWritten volume during recycling.
-- Added forward space file test to btape "test" command.
-- All 1.32d patches applied.
-- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to
- a single Volume.
-- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to
- a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first
- tape block, so the tape is not recognized.
-
-Items to note: !!!!!
-- FreeBSD users NOTE!!!!!
- You MUST add the following two records to your SD Device resource for
- tape drives.
-
- TWOEOF = yes
- Fast Forward Space File = no
-
-- The daemon protocol has changed, you must update everything at once.
-- The database level has been updated. You must either re-initialize
- your databases with:
-
- ./drop_bacula_tables
- ./make_bacula_tables
-
- which will delete ALL prior catalog information, or you can
- update your database with:
-
- ./update_bacula_tables
-- smtp has now become bsmtp
-- console has now become bconsole.
-- console.conf is now bconsole.conf
-- Please don't underestimate the repercussions of the bsmtp and bconsole
- name changes!
+ Release Notes for Bacula 2.5.16
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 517 Total lines = 199,415 (*.h *.c *.in)
+
+This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
+but they should be compatible with all 2.4.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 2.4.x. However, the next
+BETA release will require a database upgrade.
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+This BETA release of Bacula 2.5.x development code uses libtool
+to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
+being directly linked in as in prior versions. This means that
+the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object
+directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
+that may be specified on the ./configure line using the
+--libdir option as:
+
+ ./configure --libdir=/full-path/dir
+
+the default /lib. If --libdir is specified, there should be
+no need to modify your loader configuration provided that
+the shared objects are installed in that directory (Bacula
+does this with the make install command). The shared objects
+that Bacula references are:
+
+libbaccfg.so
+libbacfind.so
+libbacpy.so
+libbac.so
+
+If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old
+way of building static libraries, you can do so by disabling
+libtool on the configure command line with:
+
+ ./configure --disable-libtool
+==============================================================
+
+This release includes large number of new features and changes.
+It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
+and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
+features.
+
+Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
+some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
+
+http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
+
+The ChangeLog has more details.
