Bacula code: Total files = 438 Total lines = 154,329 (*.h *.c *.in)
+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.
+
The major features are:
-- First cut of bat (Bacula Administration Tool)
+- First cut of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
+ bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
+ must have the Qt4 libraries loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4
+ tools must be available.
- 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.
-- Socket level heartbeat (untested).
+- 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.
- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
- New Recycle Pool feature.
- 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.
+
+Other features or bug fixes:
+- Fixed bugs: 846, 809, 772, 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797,
+ 798, 795, 789, 791, 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767,
+ 775, 621, 772, 764, 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741,
+ 747, 742, 744, and 743.
+- Only the minumum number of volumes are pruned rather than
+ all volumes in the pool.
+- wx-console renamed to bwx-console
+- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console
+- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
+- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
+- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
+ 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.
+- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
+ filename restrictions.
+- Corrected Win32 ftruncate bug.
+- Additional version information added to Job reports.
+- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
+- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
+ is already a < in the target.
+- Perfer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
+ mounted by another job.
+- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
+- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
+- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
+- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
+- Drop from root done before database is opened.
+- database user and name can be configured with:
+ --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
+- 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.
+- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
+- Better restricted console ACL checking.
+- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
+ users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
+- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
+ job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
+- Sockets are no longer restored.
+- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
+- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
+ large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
+- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
+- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
+ which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies
+ the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
+ not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
+- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
+ catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
+ and DVD).
