- Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.0
+ Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.9
- Bacula code: Total files = 438 Total lines = 154,329 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ Bacula code: Total files = 498 Total lines = 167,596 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ 82 new files, 41,221 new lines of code, 208,380 lines of change from 2.0.3
-The major features are:
-- First cut of bat (Bacula Administration Tool)
+This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
+but they should be compatible with all 2.0.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 2.0.x to 2.2.0.
+

+ since version 2.2.6:
+- It fixes bugs: 1009, 1022, 1024, 1019, 1012, 1021, 1020
+ 1007, 1008. For more details, please see the technotes-2.1 file.
+- Fixed a seg fault reported by Frank Sweetser that depended on
+ exact path lengths, but the problem was in bsnprintf.c
+- Double quoting include filenames (@xxx) in Bacula conf files is now
+ possible, thanks to a patch by Michael Stapelberg.
+- You can pipe input to include filenames (@|prog) by using a vertical
+ bar, thanks to the above patch.

+Version 2.2.5 is a major bug fix release to version 2.2.4
+- It fixes the following bugs: #961, 962, 963, 969, 968, 960,
+ 964, (possibly 935 and 903), 953, 953, 967, 966, 965, 954,
+ 957, 908, 958, and 955.
+- It also improves listing performance problems in bat pointed

+- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
+ This fixes bug #950.
+- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
+ trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
+ Fixes bug #906.
+- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
+ should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices
+ are released as soon as possible.
+- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
+ have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
+ in bug #942, but not the main problem.
+- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
+ by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
+- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
+ TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
+- Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works
+ as expected.
+- Using "m" in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions
+ and not memory usage.
+

+ program.
+
+Version 2.2.3 is a critical bug fix release to version 2.2.2
+- Fix bug #935, and possibly also bug #903 where files were not
+ restored. MediaId was not properly set in JobMedia record after
+ a Volume change. This bug is known to affect all versions from
+ 2.0.0 on, and probably versions prior to that. A detailed analysis
+ of the bug can be found at:
+
+ http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-395.txt
+
+- Add ./configure search in qwt-qt4 for qwt package
+- Apply Martin Simmons patch that should turn off the new API usage
+ when batch insert is turned off allowing building on older

+ program.
+
+Version 2.2.2 is a minor bug fix release to 2.2.1

+ the main changes since 2.2.0 are:
+- Fixed bugs #921, 930, and 923.
+- More portable timezone offset in bsmtp thaks to Attila Fülöp.
+- Fix several bat issues.
+- Use GTK+ calls instead of egg files in tray-monitor.
+- Win32 service routines rewritten
+- Updated projects file
+Please see the ChangeLog for details.
+
+Notes on 2.2.0 release follow:
+
+Areas requiring caution or testing:
+- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
+ to build with MySQL enabled.
+- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
+ your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions.
+- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
+ to what we do with sockets).
+- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
+ bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris.
+- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
+ This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
+ of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
+ The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
+- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please
+ test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse
+ points.
+- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
+
+The major new features are:
+- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
+ many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
+- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
+ bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
+ must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
+ (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
+ must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times).
-- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files.
+- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
+ thanks to Eric.
- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
-- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance.
-- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
+- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
+ swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
+ implemented.
- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
+- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
-- New Recycle Pool feature.
+- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
+- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
+ mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
+
+New ./configure options:
+- --enable-bwx-console
+- --enable-bat
+- --with-qwt=
+- --with-db-name=
+- --with-db-user=
+- --enable-batch-insert
+
+New bconsole commands:
+- exec
+- memory
+- update recyclepool
+- .sql
+- .api
+- .pwd (in restore tree)
+- restoreclient (keyword)
+- backupclient (keyword)
+- regexwhere (keyword)
+- update jobid (new command)
+- recyclepool (keyword)
+
+New directives:
+- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf)
+- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage)
+- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client)
+- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool)
+- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript)
+- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
+- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)

+- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with
+ --with-qwt=<dir>. See Installation chapter of manual for details.
+- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are
+ needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both
+ these packages in the distro.

+ Use the command line or the Services panne.
+- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool.
+- More debug output in status storage.
+- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some
+ critical columns were lost).
+- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems,
+ which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which
+ should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly
+ (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but
+ concurrent jobs should run much faster.
+- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
+ the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
+- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
+ pool and media type when a job is waiting.
+- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
+- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c

in front of the configuration path/filename.
- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
- memory usage, and a in use buffer dump.
-- Solaris door and event port files are no longer restored.
+ memory usage, and an in use buffer dump.
- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
filename restrictions.
-- Corrected Win32 ftruncate bug.

-- rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
+- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
+- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
This appears to have been an unreported bug.
