+ Bacula code: Total files = 345 Total lines = 99,835 (*.h *.c *.in)
+Changes for 1.34.2:
Major Features:
-- Data spooling which eliminates tape shoe-shine during Inc backups,
+- wx-console can now be built both under GTK and Win32. It is
+ now part of the Win32 binary release. It has a very nice tree
+ oriented restore. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat for this program.
+- bconsole is now included in the Win32 binary release.
+
+Items to note!!!
+- bscan restored StartBlocks one block off resulting in loss of
+ data if any bscanned volumes were restored. Thanks to Gregory
+ for reporting this. It is fixed in this release.
+- Due to an oversight, "Maximum Job Spool Size" was is not implemented.
+ It will be in the next release.
+- To build wx-console on Linux. Download wxWidgets 2.4.2 from wxwidgets.org,
+ build and install it on your system, then add --enable-wx-console on
+ your Bacula ./configure and it will be built and installed.
+- For both the Win32 and Linux GTK versions of wx-console, you must
+ create a wx-console.conf in the current directory. The contents are
+ identical to a bconsole.conf file.
+
+Other items:
+- Make SD utility programs accept device name as well as archive device
+ on command line.
+- Update docs
+- Remove old debug code from Win32 FD.
+- A new version of depkgs-win32 was released containing the Win32
+ wxWidgets source code.
+- Disable SIGHUP code in Director which is not yet complete.
+
+
+Release 1.34.1:
+- Autochanger users, please note you must add %d to the end of the
+ changer command line in your Device resource in your bacula-sd.conf
+ file.
+- There is a new wx-console program that does restores with a
+ tree allowing you to visually select what files are to be restored.
+ It is in a preliminary stage of development, but can be easily
+ be built under Linux with GTK, and with just a bit more difficulty
+ under Win32 with MinGW.
+- Fixed a major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple
+ simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had
+ blocked another because of resource usage.
+- Fixed crash in SD during restore.
+- Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings
+ if any warning messages were generated.
+- Change output of restore report to indicate:
+ "Restore OK -- warning file count mismatch"
+- Make backup report say "Backup OK with warnings" if either FD or SD
+ report any non-fatal errors.
+- Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...)
+ added to catalog.
+- Added --enable-wx-console and updated Makefile.in
+- Fix mtx-changer so that the calling sequence is compatible
+ with the previous version (the new one required arguments that
+ were not necessarily used).
+- Document how to use stunnel with Bacula.
+- Fix crash in query command.
+- Remove schedule from the default restore job.
+- Fix data spooler to use min/max tape blocking factors.
+- Automatically turn of conio if library not found instead of bombing.
+- Cleaned up a lot of copyright dates.
+- Try to keep spool statistics from going negative.
+- Added new Pools chapter. Doc about using two disks.
+- Attempt to keep the spool file statistics size from going
+ negative.
+- Fix the Director's Scheduled Jobs: list to have a ===
+ termination.
+- Fixed ./configure to disable readline rather than stop if
+ readline.h is not found
+- Fixed a typo in the SQLite database update script as reported
+ by Robert J. Clark - thanks.
+- Removed src/win32/pthreads and src/win32/zlib from the source
+ tree.
+- Created a new depkgs-win32 that has the pthreads and zlib source
+ code.
+- Removed the JobDefs from the default Restore job as it has a
+ schedule. Thanks to Matt Howard for this.
+
+
+
+Release 1.34.0
+Major Features:
+- Data spooling which reduces tape shoe-shine during Inc backups,
and permits multiple simultaneous backups without interleaved blocks.
- Native Win32 client -- much faster and restores permissions correctly
(thanks to Christopher Hull)
+- New Windows style installer for the Win32 Client.
- PostgreSQL database driver (thanks to Dan Langille).
- Polling of devices eliminating need to unmount and mount from
console.
- Improved Autochange support of Slots (update slots scan).
-- Autochanger support for multiple drives.
+- Autochanger support for multiple drives (I think).
- New conio code to implement Console command line editing and history.
- JobDefs resource permits smaller .conf files for Director
- Access console lists for the Console
- Pool level overrides.
-- Daemon statistics memory.
+- Daemon "status" is recovered across daemon executions.
- Improved btape "test" and "fill" commands.
Items to note: !!!!!
+- If you have a RedHat system, be sure to delete the /lib/tls
+ directory from your system. It contains defective pthreads code.
- The restore default is changed to have nothing selected by default.
You must either enter: "restore all" or after getting into the tree
selection prompt enter "mark *" to have everything selected.
The "Fast Forward Space File" is surely needed, and the TWOEOF
is needed on some systems and not others. Running the btape
- "test" command will tell you.
+ "test" command will tell you. If you get an error with TWOEOF set
+ to yes, set it to no.
-- The daemon protocol has changed, you must update everything at once.
+- If you want either bsmtp or bconsole on Win32, you will need
+ to load the 1.32 version along with cygwin1.dll. Some solution
+ for this will be forthcoming in a future update.
+- The daemon protocol has changed from version 1.32, you must update
+ everything at once.
- The database level has been updated. You must either re-initialize
your databases with:
./make_bacula_tables
which will delete ALL prior catalog information, or you can
- update your database with:
+ update your 1.32 database with:
./update_bacula_tables
Please save your old database before dropping the tables or doing
an upgrade or you may regret it later.
+- If you are updating versions older than 1.32, you can look in
+ the updatedb directory for scripts that you can use. You will need
+ to manually set the paths for your system.
- smtp has now become bsmtp -- you *must* modify your .conf files.
- console has now become bconsole.
- SpoolData=yes/no in DIR Job resource
- SpoolData=yes/no in Run override directive.
- MaximumSpoolSize in SD Device resource
-- MaximumSpoolJobSize in SD Device resource
+- MaximumJobSpoolSize in SD Device resource
- SpoolDirectory in SD Device resource.
+- Drive Index in SD Device resource for using two autochanger
+ drives.
+- mtimeonly=yes/no on Include directive.
+- keepatime=yes/no on Include directive.
New Commands:
- "SetIP"
Additional changes:
-- Implement Gnome 2.0 restore GUI
+- Slackware support
+- On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly.
+- Implement "delete job jobid=xxx jobid=yyy ..."
+- Implement "purge volume=xxx volume=yyy ..."
+- Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes
+ Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely
+ this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running
+ the daemon with this option in production.
- Add a missing unlock in the jobq handler.
- Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name
by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under
projects / bacula / bacula / blobdiff
