- Release Notes for Bacula 1.37.37
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 137,650 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-Major Changes:
-- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
- autochangers.
-- 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.
- 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
- 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
- production.
-- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
- ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
- and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
-- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
- 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.
-- 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
- to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
- any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
- also be used to group jobs.
-- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
-- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
- backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
- A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
- 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.
-- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
- is now included in the Bacula GUI release (yet to be fully
- created).
-- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
- in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
-
-New Directives:
-- New Job directive "Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no" causes the
- SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
- Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
- it will select the first available drive.
-- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
- cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
- Run = "job-name level=%l since=\"%s\""
- Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
- is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
- want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
- storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
- default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
- that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
- ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
- 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:
- - WildDir xxx
- Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
- be matched).
- - WildFile xxx
- Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
- be matched).
- - RegexDir xxx
- Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
- will not be matched).
- - RegexFile xxx
- Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
- will not be matched).
- - IgnoreCase = yes | no
- Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
- This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
- - FsType = string
- where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
- reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
- systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
- and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
- specified on the fstype directive does not match the
- filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
- not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
- backing up non-local filesystems.
- - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
- If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
-- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
- Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
- If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
- precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
-- Check Labels = yes | no
- Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
- ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
- is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
- check the label type.
-- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
- which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
- appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
- so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
-- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
- a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
- HardLinks = no
- in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
-- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
- Defines the maximum part size.
-- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
- Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
- must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
- must be defined in the same Device resource:
- + Mount Point = directory
- Directory where the device must be mounted.
- + Mount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
- is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
- Mount Point.
- + Unmount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
- command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
- %m with the Mount Point.
- + Write Part Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
- the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
- with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
- and %v with the current part filename.
- + Free Space Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
- on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
- the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
- number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
-- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
- If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
- created after the job is finished.
-- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
- of the manual.
-
-New Commands:
-- "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
- sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
- a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
-
-New configure options:
-- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
- the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
-- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
- required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
-
-Items to note!!!
-- 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.
-- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
- 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.
-- 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
- Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
- (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/).
- 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.
+ Release Notes for Bacula 2.4.0
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 500 Total lines = 188,654 (*.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 when you upgrade. There is
+no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version
+2.2.x to version 2.4.0
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into
+any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the
+specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of
+FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will
+be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want
+reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them
+in your FileSet.
+==============================================================
+
+This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
+but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
+Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
+code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
+with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
+said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
+the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+ 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038
+ 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031
+
+New features:
+- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use
+ --without-qwt as a ./configure option.
+
+Release Version 2.4.0
+- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes.
+- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume.
+ This fixes bug #1095.
+- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should
+ fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro.
+- Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug
+ #1086.
+- Fix possible seg fault if SQL error.
+- Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name.
+- If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and
+ try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went
+ wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously
+ this error was fatal, now it produces an error message.
+- Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore
+- Fix a few more Coverity reported problems.
+- Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command.
+- Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race
+ conditions.
+- Make sure device not busy before doing label command.
+- Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too
+ many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070.
+- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any
+ reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the
+ directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as
+ with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be
+ backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files.
+ This fixes bug #1041.
+- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes).
+- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity.
+- Implement --without-qwt
+- Fix layout of restore tree dialog
+- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built
+ with or without the QWT libaries.
+- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume
+ from one drive to another.
+- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions.
+- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives.
+ This fixes bug #1083.
+- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
+ the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
+ bug #1083.
+- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
+ This fixes bug #1078.
+- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a
+ warning rather than an error.
+- Fix SQL query in migration code
+- Fix bat seg fault at termination.
+- Add Bacula generated version to bat about box.
+- Backport development stream SD reservation system changes.
+- When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger.
+- Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the
+ same volume name twice in a row.
+- Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make
+ the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically
+ handling the responsibilities.
+- Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just
+ causes a seg fault in many cases.
+- Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and
+ swapping volumes.
+- Prevent volume from being released while being swapped.
+- Refactor parts of stored/mount.c
+- Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime
+- Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime
+ and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066
+- Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c
+- Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to
+ autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code.
+- Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job.
+- Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking
+ the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by
+ another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it.
+- Correct some SD catalog request error messages.
+- Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD
+ when reading past an EOS_LABEL.
+- Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just
+ causes problems.
+- Lock volumes when unreserving a device.
+- Do not mark volume unused when recycling.
+- Fix bug #1068 fixes a SD crash when using Virtual autochanger.
+- Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when
+ running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
+ <tih@hamartun.priv.no> for excellent analysis and testing.
+- *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9
+ Mostly SD reservations enhancements.
+- Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination
+ of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038.
+- Fixes a StorageId problem with volumes after migration.
+- Implements autostart scripts for Debian
+- Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program.
+- Apply doc fix from bug #1062.
+- Resolve crash and improper restore wx-console Win32 restore
+ GUI. Fixes bug #1065.
+- Update Win32 wxWidgets to latest version.
+- Attempt to do correct handling of Win32 mount points. Should
+ fix bug #1046.
+- Add const to AIX prototype for initgroups()
+- Fix to the JobMedia patch, which introduced a new problem.
+- Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include
+ proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs.
+- Fix bug #1047, do not strip paths on symbolic links.
+- Set catalog backup database and user name from values specified on
+ the ./configure line.
+- Apply patch to correct bug #1031, about wrong pool source information
+ in job report.
+
+
+=========================================================================
+
+Version 2.2.8 is a bug fix to version 2.2.7:
+- It fixes bugs: 1036, 1033(doc), 1028, 1040, 1045(doc), 1030,
+ 1042(partially), and possibly bugs 1018 and 1032.
+ Bugs 1018 and 1032 involve problems with multiple-drive autochangers,
+ and are difficult to reproduce.
+ See the ChangeLog for more details.
+
+Version 2.2.7 has several new features and several important bug fixes
+ 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.
+- A daylight savings time bug in the Win32 bsmpt was fixed by a patch from
+ Nerijus Baliunas.
+- Marc Cousins submitted a patch that permits building the PostgreSQL
+ driver with version 8.3.
+- The configure option --archivedir has been changed to --with-archivedir
+
+Version 2.2.6 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.5
+- It fixes bugs: #1003, 942, 982, 990(response only), 991,
+ 993, 986, 976.
+- Fix bat crash wen it cannot connect to Director.
+- Fix joblist failure bug in bat.
+
+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
+ out by Chris Howells.
+
+Version 2.2.4 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.3
+- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953.
+- Possible fix for bug #908.
+- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
+ file to always be deleted.
+- 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.
+
+- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
+ 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

+- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
+ program.
+
+Version 2.2.2 is a minor bug fix release to 2.2.1
+- Detect if new PosgreSQL batch insert API is present.
+- Correct incorrect mempool call causing Director crash on older
+ systems that do not have va_copy().
+- Update spec files for 2.2.1 release
+
+Version 2.2.1 is mainly a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.0,
+ 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).
+- 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 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 -- 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)
+
+Other features or bug fixes:
+- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907,
+ 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872
+ 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859,
+ 856, 854, 845, 847, 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.
+- 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.
+- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead
+ of prepending.
+- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the
+ Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount
+ directives are defined.
+- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries.
+- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor.
+ 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
+- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request)
+- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request)
+- 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 an in use buffer dump.
+- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
+ filename restrictions.
+- Corrected the 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.
+- Prefer 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).
