+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.32a
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 259 Total lines = 77,873 (*.h *.c *.in)
Major Changes this Release:
-- Implemented support for Sparse files.
-- Implemented support for all Win32 attributes.
-- New Volume format. Will permit faster restores,
- and correct restores of Volumes written with multiple
- simultaneous jobs.
-- Important change to communications protocol. Eliminated
- deprecated 0 signal.
-- Implemented VolumeUseDuration (duration Volume can be written)
-- Implemented MaximumVolumeJobs (max jobs written to volume) see
- the Pool documentation for the Director for more details.
-- Rework of the Web site.
-- New format for the User's Guide (manual).
-- New bcopy tool (works but not totally complete).
-- All bxxx tool programs MUST read a Storage daemon configuration file.
-- Mount Anonymous Volumes is now dropped from the Storage
- daemon configuration files.
-- Accept Any Volume is by default "Yes" and permits Bacula
- to accept any appendable volume from the pool. Previously,
- it would accept ONLY the next appendable volume. To get
- the old behavior add "Accept Any Volume = No" to the
- Storage resources of your Director's configuration file.
-- New database format. You must either re-initialize your database or
- use <bacula-src>/src/cats/alter_mysql_tables (or alter_sqlite_tables)
- to upgrade an existing database.
-
-Minor Changes this Release:
-- A number of small bug fixes.
-- Improve handling of the "Where" prefix on Win32 by first
- stripping any previous drive. This allows restoration to
- any drive.
-- Modified Director-FD logon sequence to pass the OS id strings
- to the director.
-- Fixed mount loop when the autochanger slot is incorrect in
- the catalog.
-- Updated the bacula start/stop script to work on more systems.
-- Fixed many places prone to buffer overflows.
-- Scripts are now found in <bacula-src>/scripts
-- A mtx-changer script was contributed for the Sony
- TLS-11000 autochanger. It is in <bacula-src>/examples
-
-Items to note:
-- You must re-initialize or alter your databases.
-- The inter-daemon protocol has changed so you must
- upgrade all your daemons (and all Clients).
-
-Altering your database:
-- First make a backup.
-- Configure and build Bacula
-
-- For MySQL
- cd <bacula-src>/src/cats
- ./alter_mysql_tables
-
-- For SQLite
- cd <bacula-src>/src/cats
- ./alter_sqlite_tables
+- 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 this 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.
