+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.32b
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 259 Total lines = 77,984 (*.h *.c *.in)
+
+Changes since 1.32a:
+- Improve forward space file/block during restore, many
+ optimizations.
+- Fix a bug that did not allow appending to a tape
+ on FreeBSD systems.
+
+
+Major Changes 1.32a Release:
+- Implemented forward space file/block whenever possible
+ during restore. Restoring a small number of files is now
+ much faster.
+- There is a new option to restore that allows you
+ to restore files based on their Filename. You can
+ also specify a file to read which contains the list.
+- Added ClientRunBeforeJob and ClientRunAfterJob.
+- Implemented Include | and < in File daemon.
+- Automatic labeling of tape Volumes should work now.
+- Recycling has been completely restructured and should work.
+- Implemented full length time interval qualifiers (e.g
+ "5n is now "5 min" or "5 minutes". A modifier is now required!
+- Fixed gnome-console to compile with RH9 (Gnome 2.0)
+- Implemented "list nextvol job=xxx", which displays the
+ next volume to be used by job xxx. The Volume name to
+ be used is also added to the "status dir" output.
+- Lots of fixes with variable expansion and counter variables
+- Implemented a new Include/Exclude syntax.
+- While writing a tape, an end of file mark will be written
+ every 1Gb. This makes restores faster. If you want to
+ change this use "Maximum File Size" in the SD Device
+ resource.
+
+
+Other Changes 1.32a Release:
+- Fixed sparse file bug.
+- A warning message is sent when a job starts that will be
+ blocked because the user did an "unmount".
+- Block checksum errors if any are printed in the job report.
+- Implemented a single routine to read_records. It also returns
+ a different record packet for each session. This means
+ that multiple simultaneous jobs should work.
+- Added SDConnectTimeout to FD.
+- Lots of doc enhancements
+- Fixed a PurgeOldestVolume bug (VolStatus not returned)
+- Don't crash if DB address record not specified.
+- Return VolStatus on find_next_volume.
+- Use alist for incexe name_list.
+- Use bget_dirmsg() everywhere possible when talking to FD.
+- Delete old semaphore job and workq job scheduling code.
+- edit_run_codes in one place (/lib) Add Job name
+- Update query.sql to find current backups correctly.
+- Correct ambiguous SQL statement for pruning.
+- Set heartbeat interval to zero by default.
+- Fix a possible race condition in stopping the
+ heartbeat thread.
+- Eliminate gnome2-console directory. Everything is in gnome-console
+- Enhanced "packet too big" message to indicate who sent it.
+- Corrected console prompt problem in non-readline versions.
+- Correct a number of variable expansion problems.
+- Added a number of new regression tests.
+- In an attempt to make configuration a bit less confusing, I've changed
+ the name of a number of variables. The old ones still work, but will
+ be phased out over time. FDAddress, FDPassword, SDAddress SDPassword,
+ SDDeviceName, and DBPassword.
+- A possible fix to the very intermittent SD crashes that Alex gets.
+
+
+
+Items to note: !!!!!
+- Modifiers (sec, min, hour, day, ...) are now required on conf file
+ time interval specifications.
+- Duplicate names within the same conf resource are prohibited.
+- If you have used a prior BETA version of 1.32, please do
+ the following to cleanup any zero length spool files:
+
+ cd <working-directory-as-in-Bacula-conf>
+ rm -f *.spool.*
+
+ Please be sure there are no spaces between the asterisks
+ and the periods.
