- Release Notes for Bacula 1.37.37
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.0
- Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 137,650 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 138,440 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
Major Changes:
+- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
- autochangers.
+ autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
+ resource in the Storage daemon.
- There is a new database format that is not compatible
with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
- Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
-- Multiple drive autochanger support. You *must* update
- your SD conf file.
- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
-- New communications protocol between DIR and SD to reserve
- drives.
- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
- Python Event support has been added. See below for
- configuration and details. Unfortunately, it is not yet complete
- and the only really useful function is defining a new
- Volume name.
-- DVD writing support, using parts, and a lot of new directives in
+ configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
+ so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
+ has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
+- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
- experimental and should be carefully tested before using in
+ BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
production.
- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
records have been removed from the catalog.
- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
- to Landon Fuller. This is mostly untested.
+ to Landon Fuller.
- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
turn on VSS with "Enable VSS = yes" in your FileSet resource.
- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
-- SQLite3 support, but it seems to run at 1/2 to 1/4 the speed of
- SQLite2.
+- SQLite3 support.
- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
- is now included in the Bacula GUI release (yet to be fully
- created).
+ is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
+ level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
to recurse.
-- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive:
+- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
- WildDir xxx
Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
be matched).
required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
Items to note!!!
+- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
+ to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
+ such as "update slots" may not work.
- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
automatically detected if in the standard place.
can be ignored.
- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
old database.
-- The TLS code is for the most part untested.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
you want TLS communications encryption support.
-- If you use an Autochanger, you *must* update your SD conf file
- to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
- such as "update slots" may not work.
- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
all cases, so it is turned off.
Other Items:
-- 2 new scripts, dvd-writepart and dvd-freespace, in the scripts directory,
- which are designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
+- 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/).
+ (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.
