- Release Notes for Bacula 1.32c
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 259 Total lines = 78,317 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-Most Significant Changes since 1.32b
-- Implemented a RunAfterFailedJob
-- Implemented "delete job"
-- Gnome 2.0 console compiles and works (but still has
- certain scrolling problems).
-- Implemented VerifyJob record that tells Verify which
- job to verify (JobId not required).
-- First cut Verify Disk to Catalog
-
-Most Significant Changes since 1.32a:
-- Improve forward space file/block during restore, many
- optimizations.
-- Fix a 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 <working-directory-as-in-Bacula-conf>
- rm -f *.spool.*
-
- Please be sure there are no spaces between the asterisks
- and the periods.
+ 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.
