- Release Notes for Bacula 1.31
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 241 Total lines = 69,771 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-Major Changes this Release:
-- Support to save and restore all files on WinNT/2K/XP systems
- including the permissions. Unfortunately files that are in use by another
- program cannot be saved.
-- Support for Win95 systems (untested since I don't have Win95).
-- Heartbeat every 20 minutes between daemons to prevent network
- timeouts. The heartbeat interval can be set.
-- Volume names may now only contain letters, numbers, colon, period, dash,
- and underscore.
-
-
-Other Changes this Release:
-- Preliminary support for BSDi.
-- Use smtp instead of mail to send the traceback message.
-- Fixed a race condition in the "list" command while a backup is
- in progress.
-- Beginning of support for SSL encryption.
-- Beggining of support for Base level backups.
-- Improvements to gnome-console.
-- Prune certain orphaned jobs (no files saved, no Volume used).
-- Added non-fatal errors to Job reports.
-- Eliminate need for SubsysDirectory in each daemon.
-- Add a lot more "command line" options to console commands.
-- More info in traceback (database type, ...).
-- Better handling of errors with autochangers during restore.
-- Better cancellation of jobs in Storage daemon (doesn't try
- to cleanup twice).
-- SD error messages such as autochanger errors are now properly
- directed back to Console -- previously some were lost.
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.33
+ Bacula code: Total files = 281 Total lines = 83,815 (*.h *.c *.in)
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32d
+- Implement "update slots scan" that reads the volume label(s).
+- The full form of the scan is "scan=1,2,4-5,7". With no specification,
+ all occupied slots are scanned.
+- Turn off changer Volumes that are not current in the changer when
+ an "update slots" is done, or if any tape operation discovers that
+ the right volume is not in the slot.
+- The console program will run all commands it finds in ~/.bconsolerc
+ at startup.
+- Add Dan Langille's changes to the bacula start/stop script that
+ permit dropping root permissions just after startup.
+- New version 1.5.5-1 Cygwin.
+- Modify SD to update the catalog database when it is shutdown,
+ even if the job is canceled.
+- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to
+ a single Volume.
+- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to
+ a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first
+ tape block, so the tape is not recognized.
+
+Other Changes since 1.32d
+- Implement conio.c to use in console program -- mini-readline.
+- Enhance "fill" command of btape -- simpler output. Use -v to
+ cause last block to be dumped after write and after re-read.
+- Added an autochanger test to the btape "test" command. It is
+ automatically invoked if the autochanger is properly configured. It
+ is still a bit primitive but covers the essential of testing
+ the mtx-changer script with your autochanger.
+- Select the oldest LastWritten volume during recycling.
+- Added forward space file test to btape "test" command.
+- All 1.32d patches applied.
+- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to
+ a single Volume.
+- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to
+ a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first
+ tape block, so the tape is not recognized.
Items to note: !!!!!
-- For MySQL users, you must have the thread safe client libraries
- available. If you build MySQL yourself, add the --enable-thread-safe-client
- option on the ./configure.
-- Version 1.31 and 1.30 daemons/Director are not compatible. You must
- upgrade all or nothing.
+- FreeBSD users NOTE!!!!!
+ You MUST add the following two records to your SD Device resource for
+ tape drives.
+
+ TWOEOF = yes
+ Fast Forward Space File = no
+
+- The daemon protocol has changed, you must update everything at once.
+- The database level has been updated. You must either re-initialize
+ your databases with:
+
+ ./drop_bacula_tables
+ ./make_bacula_tables
+
+ which will delete ALL prior catalog information, or you can
+ update your database with:
+ ./update_bacula_tables
+- smtp has now become bsmtp
+- console has now become bconsole.
+- console.conf is now bconsole.conf
+- Please don't underestimate the repercussions of the bsmtp and bconsole
+ name changes!
