+ Release Notes for Bacula 2.4.0
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 195,550 (*.h *.c *.in)
- 82 new files, 41,221 new lines of code, 208,380 lines of change from 2.0.3

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.
+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
+ PostgreSQLs.
+- 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().

Other features or bug fixes:
- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907,
- 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
+ (<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.
