- Release Notes for Bacula 1.31
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 250 Total lines = 74,359 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-Major Changes this Release:
-- The database format has changed. Please see below.
-- 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.
-- Added readline to depkgs (removed from depkgs1) and fixed configuration if
- it is not installed in your system libraries.
-- Implemented generalized tape label formats including counter variables.
-- Implement multiple simultaneous jobs.
-
-
-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 -- please remove
- these records from your .conf files.
-- 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.
-- A Storage daemon crash on FreeBSD systems (due to an improper FreeBSD
- pthreads implementation -- IMO) is fixed.
-- Better Job termination report particularly for Verify and Restore jobs.
-- Update Verify VolumeToCatalog to use new BSR records.
-- Fixed list last 20 jobs in restore command (previously reported any
- 20 jobs).
-- Gnome command line history works better.
-- Better messages if a job is upgraded from Diff or Inc to Full.
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.32f-2
+ Bacula code: Total files = 262 Total lines = 80,318 (*.h *.c *.in)
+Changes since 1.32f:
+- This release has two patches applied:
+ 1.32f-1-weekofmonth.patch
+ 1.32f-2-eom-nextvol.patch
+- Fix an incorrect calcualtion of the week of the month reported
+ by Volker Sauer -- patch 1.
+- Fix bug reported by Phil (could not duplicate here) where at the end
+ of a Volume, Bacula wanted a new Volume and got into a loop requesting
+ it, then gave up -- Patch 2.
+- Modify selection of next Volume to select most currently appended Volume,
+ or if none oldest recycled Volume (problem reported by Lars) -- Patch 2.
+- Added new spec file from Scott.
+Changes since 1.32e:
+- Note, this change affects only the Win32 FD.
+- Fixed Win32 FD crash due to missing argument in status command. It
+ always crashed if there was a job that had previously run. Thanks to
+ Christopher Hull for finding and diagnosing this problem.
+
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32e-08Dec03
+- Added additional error messages to smtp.
+- Added suse platform directory and configure code. Must be tweaked for
+ SuSe.
+- Added debian platform directory.
+- Fixed fd.in (thanks Dan) to configure subsystem directory.
+- Back ported fix to Week of Month from 1.33
+- Add JobId to Running jobs and Terminated Jobs status list.
+- Fixed "Phil's" bug where after doing a restore from a tape, if the next
+ operation was an append to the same tape, the number of files on the
+ tape and in the catalog got out of sync.
+- Fixed bug in Terminated Jobs status list that repeated the same job.
+
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32d
+- 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.
+- 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.
+- Added forward space file test to btape "test" command.
+- New version 1.5.5-1 Cygwin.
+- Select the oldest LastWritten volume during recycling.
+- Modify SD to update the catalog database when it is shutdown,
+ even if the job is canceled.
+- 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.
+- The "mark" command in the restore command now provides feedback
+ on how many files were marked.
+
+Other Changes since 1.32d:
+- Fixed getdomainname() prototype on Darwin.
+- Fixed an SQL typo (missing space) in "list volumes jobid=xxx"
+- Fixed crash with "list job"
+- Fixed crash with ' entered as a filename to be restored (any
+ name causing an SQL error would cause the crash).
+- Fixed | syntax in FileSet Include.
+- Corrected crash in restore in some weird cases where the bootstrap
+ file defined in the resource.
+- Fixed a crash when storage daemon did not accept unknown Device.
+- Fixed a rare crash in list nextvol
+- Fixed a compile error if zlib does not exist.
+- Finally got the Gnome console running correctly under Gnome 2.x
+- Print human readable message on error by gethostbyname().
+- Fixed a time conversion problem in tape label.
+- A number of enhancements to btape (more work to be done).
+- Updates to Solaris system installation files.
+- New bacula.spec.in from Scott Barninger -- including a rescue rpm.
+- Slightly different listing and list sorting, more important fields
+ are first.
+
+
Items to note: !!!!!
-- The default time interval is now days instead of seconds. Please
- check your .conf files!
-- 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. You will most likely need to do an ldconfig.
- Please see the installation documentation for building MySQL.
-- Version 1.31 and 1.30 daemons/Director are not compatible. You must
- upgrade all or nothing.
-- The format of the catalog database has changed, so you must either
- re-initialize your database (losing all the old info) with:
-
- ./drop_bacula_tables
- ./make_bacula_tables
-
- or you can use the appropriate script (you must choose the name according
- to which database you have) in the <bacula-source>/src/cats directory.
-
- BEFORE APPLYING THE ALTER SCRIPT PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. Do one
- of the following only if you wish to keep your old tables (not doing
- the re-initialize documented above), and do this only after configuring
- an building the new Bacula, but before trying to run it:
-
- MySQL:
- cd working-directory (or where you want to backup the catalog)
- mysqladmin -f --opt bacula >bacula.sql
- cd <bacula-source>/src/cats
- ./alter_mysql_tables
-
- SQLite:
- cd working-directory
- echo '.dump' sqlite bacula.db >bacula.sql
- cd <bacula-source>/src/cats
- ./alter_sqlite_tables
-
- When you are sure that Bacula is running with your upgraded database,
- please delete the bacula.sql copy you made.
-
+- All daemons should be compatible with all other 1.32x versions,
+ you can mix and match (hopefully).
+
+
+Change in previous releases:
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32c
+- Mainly a bug fix release.
+- Do a clean of both Gnome directories.
+- Require that FileSet id match when finding an Incremental
+ previous job. This was already the case for a Full.
+- Print message if no status returned from FD.
+- Correct "Do not forget to mount the drive" message. Test was
+ backward.
+- "status dir" stopped scanning the run records on the first
+ one that matched giving an incomplete listing.
+- Edit commas in Bytes on "estimate" command output.
+
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32b
+- Implemented a RunAfterFailedJob record in the Job resource.
+- Implemented "delete job" command in the Console.
+- Gnome 2.0 console compiles and works.
+- Implemented VerifyJob record in the Job resource
+ that tells Verify which job to verify (JobId not required)
+- First cut Verify Disk to Catalog
+- Fix "status dir" to examine all run commands in Schedule.
+- Close unused file descriptors in bpipe.c
+- There is now a patch for FreeBSD 4.8 pthreads that
+ fixes the problems of data loss at the end of a tape.
+ Please see:
+ <bacula-source>/platforms/freebsd/pthreads-fix.txt
+- Fixed (I think) the elusive Windows "packet too big" bug.
+- Added %v to RunBefore/After editing codes. It edits in
+ a list of Volumes used for the job (not tested).
+
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32a:
+- Improve forward space file/block during restore, many
+ optimizations.
+- Fix a Bacula bug that did not allow appending to a tape
+ on FreeBSD systems.
+- Fix pruning so that it will not prune the current job.
+- Modify configure to use non-threaded MySQL client lib if
+ the threaded version is not present.
+- Implement restore by file before date.
+- When pruning don't prune the current job.
+
+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.
