+is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration
+that the project cannot properly support.

+================================================================
+
+Version 5.2.1
+
+The 5.2.1 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
+It includes well over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 contributors,
+lots of bug fixes (see below), 1,851 software commits,and a
+number of important new features:
+
+Version 5.2.0 was short lived, because Marco (thanks) found
+a number of last minute bugs. So the first official release of 5.2
+is 5.2.1.
+
+Compatibility:
+--------------
+ As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
+ the same time.
+
+ Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.1
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
+
+5.2.1 New Features:
+-----------------
+- LZO Compression
+- New Tray Monitor
+- Purge Migration Job
+- Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)
+- Changes in the Pruning Algorithm
+- Ability to Verify any specified Job
+- Additions to RunScript variables
+- Additions to the Plugin API
+- ACL enhancements
+- XATTR enhancements
+- Class Based Database Backend Drivers
+- Hash List Enhancements
+
+Some of the above are described below; all the above are
+described in more detail in the New Features chapter of the
+manual.

+
+Note on bug 1612 where Bacula does not save a checksum for hard links during
+full backup, but expects one during accurate differential backups. You need
+a Full backup with the 5.2.x code to have these checksums in the Catalog.
+Doing Incr/Diff over a 5.0.x Full backup will still display lot of errors.
+
+
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+
+ The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
+ restore since the last Full backup. This is, of course, correct and desirable,
+ but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
+ prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
+
+Building Bat:
+-------------
+To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
+version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
+your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
+
+Packaging the SQL backend:
+--------------------------
+The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
+in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
+by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
+be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
+at the same time.
+
+- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
+ --with-sqlite3
+ --with-mysql
+ --with-postgresql
+
+Order of testing for database is
+- postgresql
+- mysql
+- sqlite3
+
+Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
+A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
+
+At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
+backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
+the default backend type.
+
+If you configure all three backends you get three backend libraries and the
+postgresql gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default
+you can copy one of the three backend libraries over the
+libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
+
+cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
+
+And update the default backend in the following files:
+
+create_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_tables
+grant_bacula_privileges
+make_bacula_tables
+make_catalog_backup
+update_bacula_tables
+
+New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
+-----------------------------------------------
This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.0 (version
-14). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
+scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
+14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
using rpms.
The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source:
+source (i.e. manually):
1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.0 version of Bacula
+3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
at the bottom of this file.
4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
Changes:
Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements:
-- Implement LZO compression algorithm
+- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option)
- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster
- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
Security Enhancements:
- Additional security against injection of illegal characters
-- Possible fnmatch problem
+- Fix possible fnmatch problem
Features Enhancements:
- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms:
- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog
backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent
of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the
- libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed.
+ libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend
+ to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL).
- Indent lsmark during restore
- Disable batch insert config item
- Director selection option in bconsole
- restorejob command in bconsole
- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
+- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
+ work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
- Improved hash table for hard links
- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
and %h (Client Address)
- Many new plugin API features
- Improved memory handling for restores
- Significant stability enhancements to bat
+- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning
- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.
