-- New IPv6 code (untested)
-- New way of specifying Addresses and Ports -- permits having
- server listen on multiple ports.
-- Regular expressions in Options directive.
-- Reader/writer programs in Options (not yet fully implemented,
- please do not use).
-- Fixed specification of bind address on Win32 (thanks to
- Martin Simmons).
-- Update all Volumes from Pool record.
-- Update License to terminate rights of anyone suing a GPL licensor.
-- Improved error messages for Win32 and when running external
- programs (e.g. RunBeforeJob).
-- Implement reload of conf file in Directory on SIGHUP.
-- Building restore tree is much faster on large filesets
- due to binary insert.
+==== IMPORTANT Catalog update required =====
+- The database format has been updated from what was used in
+ Bacula 1.38.x. You must manually update your database before
+ running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. If you are using Bacula supplied
+ RPMs this is not necessary as the RPM does it automatically.
+ Please backup your previous version of the database before
+ running the update. The update script will be automatically
+ installed in your scripts directory, or can also be found in
+ <bacula-source>/src/cats. It is called:
-New Directives:
-- Alert Command in Device resource of Storage Daemon.
-- New IP address and port directives.
-- reader = xxx, writer = yyy in Options within FileSet of
- Director's conf file.
-- regex = xxx in Options within FileSet of Director's
- conf file.
-- New command options: update AllFromPool updates all
- Volumes with Pool defaults.
-- .backups client=xxx (for GUI programs).
+ ./update_bacula_tables
-Items to note!!!
-- All daemons should be compatible with 1.34 with the exception
- of the new FileSet features such as regular expressions.
-- Regular expressions are not implemented in the Win32 FD.
+ It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to
+ a 2.0.0. Upgrading the Bacula version thereafter does not
+ require updating the database again. Depending on the size of
+ your database the script make take a bit of time, to run, but
+ in general, it should be very fast.
-Other Items:
-- A duration specification may have any number of integer/modificator
- specifications. E.g.:
- 1 week 2 days 3 hours 10 mins
- 1 month 2 days 30 sec
-- Print error message if Alert Command fails in bpipe_open().
-- Doc Alert command.
-- Eliminate unnecessary class in findlib/attribs.c
-- Add necessary empty files to new tray-monitor directory.
-- Implement Class with template in findlib/attribs.c to do casting
- of uint64_t into stat packet types to avoid compiler warnings.
- Thanks to Meno for this idea.
-- Make some modifications to satisfy VC++.
-- Apply Martin Simmons' second patch to compat.cpp to fix the line
- I previously missed.
-- Apply Meno's fix to bnet that corrects use of ipaddr after free_addresses,
- back out my kludges, and it works.
-- Modified configure.in to by default add -Wall.
-- Found some problems with printing IP addresses -- will notify Meno.
-- Added printing Pool to Job report.
-- Fixed several places where dlists were not being released
- (term_job_server, ...)

- but could not get it to work.
-- Fixed a mutex deadlock between the job queue scheduler and the
- watchdog.
-- Made add_address() static.
-- Added bsnprintf to address_conf.c
-- Apply Marin Simmons patch to inet_aton() in compat.
-- Build on Win32 -- required a few changes because of new IP code.
-- Implement program reader code in Dir and FD -- not tested, and
- a few corrections for writer code are needed in FD.
-- Rework SQL for pruning. Add Admin pruning. Prune failed
- jobs in Verify and Restore.
-- Don't put commas in listing produced in restore so that users
- can cut and past JobIds without having commas in the way.
-- Change size_t to socklen_t in filed.c -- reindent a bit.
-- Remove addr_list->size from buf size definition in bnet.c
-- Create a Developer's document.
-- Add prompt for Update volume from pool and update all
- Volumes from pool.
-- Implement user friendly time duration input editing.
-- Add buf len argument to edit_utime().
-- Added eliminate orphaned Client records to dbcheck.
-- Implement Alert Command in SD Device conf.
-- Fix updating a Volume from the pool record -- it never changed
- anything.
-- Implement updating all Volumes from pool record.
-- Add patch by Denis Shaposhnikov that fixes excludes of directories
- in new style FileSets.
-- Merge Meno's IPv6-1 code.

- and bpipe errors. Bpipe still needs to be implemented.
- This fixes (not yet tested) the Win32 errno problems in the compat lib.
-- Fix btape compile problem reported by Martin Simmons -- thanks.
-- Add ./configure detection of sys/tape.h
-- Apply two fixes to recent changes to dev.c submitted by
- Martin Simmons.

-- Remove fd/fd.in from scripts directory.
-- Fix a number of bugs in dbcheck concerning the -c option
- (i.e. with a config file).
-- Made RH start scripts use -u and -g options.
-- Many more DCR changes.
-- Add job message indicating that the job has been rescheduled
- and when.
-- Fix job end time so that it is always updated. Previously it
- was not updated when a job was rescheduled.
-- Correct SQL for restoring job by path/name. It could sometimes
- pickup the wrong JobId -- submitted by a user.
-- Add a number of "%s" in editing database errors -- security issue.
-- Ensure that the NumVols is incremented and decremented in the
- pool record when Volumes are created or deleted.
-- Cleanup error handling when labeling a tape. If vol was read-only,
- the device would still be marked as having found a label.

- this will fix the problem of noticing files have been moved
- into the save path after a Full save.
-- Fix bug in "status dir" where not all entries are listed.
-- Cleanup some improper result printing in configure.
-- Optimize a couple of insertions in binary_insert of dlists.
+==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
+ For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special
+ needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
+ automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\bacula
+ directory mostly out of paranoia.
-Release 1.35.0 08 July 2004:
-- Apply Christopher Hull's const patch for PostgreSQL
-- Add code to block.c to detect if block header is destroyed.
-- Add debug code for memset checking for zeroing 1900-3000 bytes
- which is what happened to the block headers.
-- If block header is destroyed, read the next block. Probably
- should return with new status similar to the SHORT block
- return.
-- Add more debug info to bls for bad blocks.
-- More implementation of DCRs.
-- Eliminate argument passing in SD by using dcr.
-- More int->bool conversions.
-- Add file:block to a number of read/write error messages.
-- More int -> bool conversions.
-- Modify the SD piece by piece to use DCRs everywhere.
-- Cleanup some printout for query command.
-- Fix typo in cats/mysql.c
-- Work on cleaning up tape driver a bit (use bools, better calling
- sequences).
-- Attempt to fix multi-Volume disk backup. Needs to be tested.
-- Add Regular expressions to FileSet options.
-- Correct configure.in to use ${MAKE} for doing the dependencies.
-- Make MySQL and PostgreSQL try for 30 seconds to connect before
- giving up.
-- Correct Gnome 1.4 Makefile to build without cats library.
-- Correct a crash reported (with patch) by Jonathan Soong
- when attempting to backup an ACL on a symlinked file.
-- Fixed an off by one bug in the new resources pointer code.
- res_head array was one too small.
-- Added Errors to last_job list. This allows detecting jobs
- that terminated in a warning.
-- Implement setting the Win32 icon to yellow instead of red
- when the job terminated OK but with warnings.
-- Fix the Win32 makefile and VC project file. The links were
- not including the Win32 dlls.
-- Delete some old Win32 code that was turned off.
-- Eliminate a few more Win32 compiler warnings.
-- Reduce the output produced by NIS (Win32 install builder).
-- Simplify some of the #ifdefing in compat.h
-- Rewrite spooling error handling when I/O error occurs. It is
- a bit tricky, requiring to truncate the file so that a despooling
- will work correctly. Needs to be tested.
-- Make better subroutines for setting up for a new job.
-- Start putting all DB ids on #defines (going to 64 bits).
-- Fix gnome-console Makefile.in to work again.
-- All "level=Incremental/Decremental" to the estimate command. This
- required some re-arrangement of subroutines at a fairly low level.
-- Apply Piotr Jaworski's patch (patch-r-status.diff) to update the
- catalog status when a backup job starts running.
-- Add (char*) cast to readline call in console.c for old readlines.
-- Copy Makefile.in from gnome2-console to gnome-console (to eliminate
- need for cats library).
-- Modify spooling code to handle write error (e.g. spooling disk full)
- more gracefully. Previously despooling would fail.
-- Reduce casting in smartall.c a bit and add counters for
- bytes, max_bytes, buffers and max_buffers.
-- Fixed reload algorithm to stack both job end callback and the
- table id.
-- Fixed the orphaned buffer after reload (job_end_push had to be
- destroyed.
-- Destroy cond var (jcr->term_wait) only if initialized.
-- Sort the Scheduled Jobs list by start-time, priority.
-- Implement resources on a pointer.
-- Fix Gnome console crash on up/down arrow with no history.
-- Finish first cut of SIGHUP code. To make really work need res
- on a single pointer rather than in fixed memory.
-- Fix a number of places in query.sql where multiple JobIds are
- printed (due to JobMedia records).
-- Add new query: List jobs on Volume given Volume name.
-- Correct socket close on Win32 in bnet.c (in addition to compat.cpp).
- Caused fd leak in Win32 for each connection.
-- Remove vol labeled test in askdir update_volume_info so that non-labeled
- Volume in catalog can be marked in error.
-- Close socket in SD when connection rejected. Caused fd leaks.
-- Initialize job_start_wait cond variable after every new_jcr() otherwise
- NetBSD gets error in library when trying to delete it without being inited.
-- Fix typo (9 instead of 0) return status in write_new_volume_label.
-- Fix mount.c to call routine that correctly marks a volume in error.
-- Move code to rewrite volume label to subroutine -- a bit cleaner.
-- Finish implementation and testing of new restore tree code.
-- Implement feedback while tree is loading.
-- Eliminate printing INFO message in UpdateDB (cats) -- it generates
- "false" error messages.
-- Eliminate some GTK error messages when running the Gnome2 console.
-- Begin restructuring tree.c for inclusion of the binary_insert()
- routine.
-- Apply Peter Eriksson's lib file order changes in linking for IRIX.
-- Abort configure if Internal is selected as the database.
-- Add testimonials to the Web page
-- Add the bugs list to the Web page "lists".
-- Clarify the English in SuSE and Slackware when SD not running.
-- Applied another extern "C" patch from Peter Eriksson.
-- Fixed a bunch of VC warning messages.
-- Applied the patches sent by Andreas Jellinghaus: build Gnome and
- wx-console in client-only build if configured; add ./configure option
- to permit setting of sbin modes -- default is 0745 as before; remove
- cats library from Gnome console build; remove old version from Gnome
- About box. Thanks Andreas.
-- Applied Peter Eriksson's const changes to the source code. Thanks Peter.
-- Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used
- in the restore tree routines.
-- Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which
- are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit
- behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*.
+==== IMPORTANT miscellaneous ====
+- The Gnome console program (gconsole) no longer functions as it
+ should.More importantly, in restore mode, the restore tree is
+ no longer shown in the left pane. I suspect this is due to
+ incompatible changes in the GTK+ API, and hence have given up
+ on gnome and gtk+, as this has already happened several times
+ previously. At some point there will be a new GUI console.
+- The bacula-dir.conf directive Accept Any Volume has been
+ removed because it was never implemented. You must delete all
+ occurrence of this directive for the Director to run. The Storage
+ daemon will automatically accept any valid Volume that you mount.
+- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man
+ directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and
+ mandir/man1 as appropriate.
+- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 2.0.0 Director
+ and SD providing you do not use any of the new features (runscript,
+ data encryption). It seems to work here, but we do not guarantee it.
+- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded.
+- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method
+ of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last
+ device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it
+ will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource
+ with the correct MediaType.
+- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary
+ format compatible with the rest of the world. If you are running verify
+ jobs, you *must* do an InitCatalog or all files will show an MD5
+ difference. Also, authentication uses the new algorithm by
+ default, but *should* accept connections from older components (FD) using
+ the old non-compatible algorithm. This has been tested, but more
+ more testing is still needed.
+- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses
+ the tape drive. Workaround, load the SuSE 10.1 version 2.6.16.21-0.25
+ kernel or later. The SuSE 10.2 Alpha 5 or later kernel also works.
+ This problem may also be present in certain Fedora FC5 kernels.
+- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please
+ be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options
+ with version 1.39.0 through 1.39.26 created Volume data that cannot
+ be restored. We strongly recommend that anyone using encryption
+ carefully review his/her backups and at a minium do a Full backup
+ with 1.39.28 of all encrypted data. Robert Nelson has identified
+ and fixed it as follows:
+ As of 1.39.27:
+ No filters = Works fine
+ Sparse = Works fine
+ Compression = Works fine
+ Encryption = Works fine
+ Sparse + Compression = Works fine
+
+ Sparse + Encryption = Restore broken
+ Sparse + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
+ Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
+
+ As of 1.39.28:
+ Most combinations work, but some encrypted files are
+ not properly restored.
+
+ As of 1.39.30:
+ All combinations work fine except Sparse+Encryption.
+
+ Bottom line, if you are using data encryption, please test restoring
+ data to be sure it all works correctly.
+- The current Volume format written by 1.39.22 is different from
+ the format written by previous versions. The two formats
+ are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will
+ be unreadable by version 1.39.22.
+- If you previously run a Bacula version prior to 1.39.30, the JobMedia
+ data may not be correct for disk Volumes. This can cause incorrect
+ seeking in versions after 1.39.30. If you experience what appears to
+ be data I/O or integrity errors during restores, please add the
+ following directive to your disk DEVICE resource in the Storage
+ daemon conf file:
+
+ Block Positioning = no
+
+ This will turn off all seek requests during restores and avoid
+ this problem.
+- VSS for Windows clients is now enabled by default.
+- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
+- Implement mount command for autochanger, see manual.
+
+New Features in 2.0.0:
+- Turn on disk seek code for restores.
+- There is a partial but reasonable translation of the Bacula
+ messages for French. To install it, first configure and build
+ Bacula, then as root run:
+
+ cd <bacula-source>/po
+ make install
+
+ If you have your locale set properly you will get the translated
+ messages.
+- Bacula now support Migration jobs that are documented in a new
+ Migration chapter in the manual
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
+- Data encryption is now implemented and is documented in
+ a new chapter of the manual at:
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
+- Additional support for removable devices. See the
+ Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
+ Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
+ Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
+ same chapter.
+- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
+ cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson,
+ then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
+ cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
+ also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
+ all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
+ drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
+- The Director and Storage daemon have now been ported to Win32.
+ This code is working but should still be tested carefully
+ before putting into production.
+- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
+ any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
+ the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
+ to Thorsten Engel for this code.
+- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
+ eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel. However, if you are using
+ Volume Shadow Copy, please be careful to specify all the paths
+ in the bacula-fd.conf file using a full path notation including
+ the drive letter.
+- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
+ the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
+ plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
+ of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227
+- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher.
+- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
+ If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
+ "list nextvol days=xx"
+ or
+ "status dir days=xx"
+ This can be used to preview the next scheduled job (and the
+ next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
+ the weekend.
+- From Eric Bollengier. One can now using the bconsole wait command do:
+ wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
+ wait jobid=nn
+ wait jobuid=unique id
+ wait job=job-name
+- Volumes can now be set to Enable, Disable, or Archive. If they
+ are not enabled, Volumes will not be mounted.
+ Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
+- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
+ job report in the Log database table.
+- Writing/reading DVD Volumes is much more stable -- to the point
+ of being useful. Thanks to Richard Mortimer.
+- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
+ the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
+ the job can be manually started from the console.
+- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits
+ can be enabled by changing one define and changing the appropriate
+ table variable. Normally, you need 64 bits only for FileId.
+- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in
+ the restore cd command.
+- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling
+ will now finish faster due to a mutex optimization made by Eric
+ Bollengier.
+- Conf files containing UTF-8 marker at the head of the file as well as
+ conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters
+ are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson.
+- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
+- Win32 external script execution is much more flexible -- handles
+ spaces in names better, ...
+- Lots of DVD fixes -- writing DVDs is now reported to work.
+- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect
+ any Catalog ACL.
+- Much better automatic handling of multiple database catalogs in
+ the restore command.
+- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
+ patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
+- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
+ from Eric Bollengier.
+- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
+ in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
+- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
+ display data_len instead of data content (may be binary).
+- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
+- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir/
+- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
+ the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
+ path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
+ over where users can restore files. This is untested.
+- Install man pages with 'make install'.
+- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
+- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
+- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
+- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio -- used in bweb.
+- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
+ command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
+- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
+ triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
+- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
+- Implement mount command for autochanger
+- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
+ from File= was not found.
+- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
+ do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
+ have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
+ Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
+- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that
+ creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
+ Andrew J. Millar.
+- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
+ Christian Masopust.
+- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
+ appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore
+ listing where they could be "lost".
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
+ correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
+ Bug # 506.
+- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund.
+- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
+ list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
+ lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
+- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This
+ should get Bacula into the correct groups.
+- Implement support for removable filesystems -- device type directive
+ and mount, unmount directives.
+- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks
+ to a user submission.
+- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed
+ in the Status report. You must take much more care now to unmount
+ devices prior to removing tapes that Bacula has open or prior to
+ changing a magazine. Don't forget to do a mount afterwards or the
+ device will be blocked.
+- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places.
+- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
+ all other Storage specifications.
+- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.
+- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
+ from a database table for restore.
+- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are
+ designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.
+- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to
+ accept time qualifiers.
+- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
+ suggested by Eric Bollengier.
+- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
+ Job Level, only during JobInit event.
+- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
+ to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
+ be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
+- Allow the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only
+ one at a time).
+- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
+ Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
+- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
+ bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
+ bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
+ bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
+ bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
+- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
+ explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
+- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
+ wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
+- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
+- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
+ - Allow multiple connections to database with different
+ parameters.
+ - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
+ fault, but still 60 second window.
+ - Additional info in Reschedule message.
+ - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
+ cancel, error.
+ - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
+ - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
+ - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
+ - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
+ - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance).
+ - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
+ - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
+- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
+ routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
+ author of bug #565.
+- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher
+ Hull.
+- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
+- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support.
+ O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
+ updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
+ happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
+ prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
+ only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
+ programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
+ categories).
+ You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting:
+ noatime = yes
+ The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except
+ it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime.
+- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon.
+- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
+ Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
+ Delete MAC table
+ Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
+ Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
+ Add Cost to Location table.
+ Enabled to Media table and Location table.
+- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
+ and forcing a 6 second wait.
+- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
+ -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
+- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. The reason for this code is to
+ eliminate the security problems associated with using the
+ system libraries print routines.
+- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
+ came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
+ it is all very complicated.
+- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
+ for restore.
+- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this
+ class.
+- Improved Bacula rescue procedures -- see the Disaster Recovery
+ chapter of the manual
+- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
+- Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
+- Allow true/false in many but not all yes/no directives.
+- The Bacula source code is now copyrighted by the Free Software
+ Foundation Europe. The Developer's Guide documents the new procedures,
+ and the LICENSE file has been updated.
+- Apply Jaime Ventura's patch that implements the Messages resource
+ Mail On Success directive.
+- The Client returns its Version string, which is printed in the Job
+ report.
+- The Client returns whether or not VSS and Encryption are used, which
+ are printed in the Job report.
+
+Additional Features Added for Win32:
+- Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
+ resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There
+ is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that
+ has the concept of drives.
+
+- Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
+ resource. Allowed values are: yes and no.
+
+ When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the
+ Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways.
+
+ Patterns conform to Posix
+ \ is not a special character in character classification []
+ To match a - it must be the first or last character
+ To match a ] it must be the first character
+
+ fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a /
+ so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path
+
+- Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match
+ against the filename portion. This in combination with the
+ FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile =
+ abc*.def work as expected.
+
+- Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion.
+
+ Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5.
+
+ # Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
+ WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies"
+ WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent"
+ WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/History"
+ WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp"
+ WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files"
