- Release Notes for Bacula 1.39.28
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 442 Total lines = 150,218 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-
-Version 1.39.28 contains mainly bug fixes to 1.39.26. Please
- see the ChangeLog for more details.
-
-==== IMPORTANT Encrypted Volume data may be unreadable ====
-- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please
- be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options
- with version 1.39.0 through 1.39.26 created Volume data that cannot
- be restored. We strongly recommend that anyone using encryption
- carefully review his/her backups and at a minium do a Full backup
- with 1.39.28 of all encrypted data. Robert Nelson has identified
- and fixed the following cases:
-
-==== IMPORTANT a stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash =====
-- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses
- the tape drive. Workaround, load a Fedora kernel, which works fine,
- or load the SuSE 10.2 rc5 kernel which also works fine.
-
-==== IMPORTANT Catalog update required =====
-- The database format has been updated from what was used in
- Bacula 1.38.x. You must manually update your database before
- running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. Please backup your previous
- version of the database before running the update. The update
- script will be automatically installed in your scripts directory,
- or can also be found in <bacula-source>/src/cats. It is called:
-
- ./update_bacula_tables
-
- It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to
- a 1.39.x beta or to 1.40.0. Upgrading the Bacula version
- thereafter does not require updating the database again.
- Depending on the size of your database the script make take a
- bit of time, to run, but in general, it should be very fast.
-
-==== IMPORTANT DVD Volume format changed ====
-- The current Volume format written by 1.39.22 is different from
- the format written by previous versions. The two formats
- are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will
- be unreadable by version 1.39.22.
-
-==== IMPORTANT miscellaneous ====
-- The Gnome console program (gconsole) no longer functions as it
- should. If you have multiple catalogs, you will need to select
- the catalog (this I will fix). More importantly, in restore
- mode, the restore tree is no longer shown in the left pane. I
- suspect this is due to incompatible changes in the GTK+ API,
- and hence have given up on gnome and gtk+, as this has already
- happened several times previously. At some point there
- will be a new GUI console.
-- The bacula-dir.conf directive Accept Any Volume has been
- removed because it was never implemented. You must delete all
- occurrence of this directive for the Director to run.
-- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man
- directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and
- mandir/man1 as appropriate.
-- The "Accept Any Volume" directive has been removed. It was never
- implemented. Bacula will always accept any valid tape that is in
- the drive for appending.
-- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 1.39.18 Director
- and SD providing you do not use any of the new features (runscript,
- data encryption). It seems to work here, but we do not guarantee it.
-- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded.
-- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method
- of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last
- device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it
- will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource
- with the correct MediaType.
-- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary
- format compatible with the rest of the world. If you are running verify
- jobs, you *must* do an InitCatalog or all files will show an MD5
- difference. Also, authentication uses the new algorithm by
- default, but *should* accept connections from older components (FD) using
- the old non-compatible algorithm. This has been tested, but more
- more testing is still needed.
-
-==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
- For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special
- needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
- automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\Bacula
- directory (mostly out of paranoia, we can change that prior to release if
- everyone is comfortable with it).
-
- Prior to using the current installer, if you used a version of the beta
- prior to 1.39.26, you must do one of the following three things:
-
- 1) Uninstall prior beta version and select the option to delete
- the configuration and state files. This will get rid of the bogus
- configuration files. Reinstall the new 1.39.26 version.
-
- 2) Manually copy the *.conf files from C:\Bacula\bin to
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula.
-
- 3) Manually edit the *.conf files in C:\Documents and
- Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula. The links in the Bacula menu
- can be used to avoid having to enter that ugly path.
-
- After one of these has been done the upgrade should work fine.
-
-
-New Features in 1.40.0:
-- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in
- the restore cd command.
-- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling
- will now finish faster due to a mutex optimization made by Eric
- Bollengier.
-- Conf files containing UTF-8 marker at the head of the file as well as
- conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters
- are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson.
-- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
-- Win32 external script excution is much more flexible -- handles
- spaces in names better, ...
-- Lots of DVD fixes -- I think they now work!
-- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect
- any Catalog ACL.
-- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
- patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- from Eric Bollengier.
-- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
-- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary)
-- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
-- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir
-- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
- the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
- path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
- over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-- Install man pages with 'make install'
-- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
-- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
-- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
-- The basic features of Migration are now complete.
-- There is a Migration chapter in the doc.
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
-- There is an Encryption chapter in the doc.
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
-- Additional support for removable devices. See the
- Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
- Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
- Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
- same chapter.
-- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio.
-- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
- command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
-- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
- triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger
-- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
- from File= was not found.
-- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
- do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
- have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
- Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
-- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
- cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson,
- then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
- cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
- also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
- all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
- drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
- Finally, he also ported the Director and the Storage daemon to
- Win32.
-- Data encryption done in the Client is now supported due to code
- submitted by Landon Fuller.
-- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
- any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
- the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
- to Thorsten Engel for this code.
-- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
- eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel.
-- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
- the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
- plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
- of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227
-- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that
- creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
- Andrew J. Millar.
-- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher.
-- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits
- can be enabled by changing one define, but this has never been tested.
-- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
- If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
- or
- "status dir days=xx"
- My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
- next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
- the weekend. This patch was probably back ported to 1.38.x
-- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
- Christian Masopust.
-- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
- appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore
- listing where they could be "lost".
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
- correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
- Bug # 506.
-- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund.
-- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
- the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
- the job can be manually started from the console.
-- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
- list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
- lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
-- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This
- should get Bacula into the correct groups.
-- Implement support for removable filesystems.
-- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks
- to a user submission.
-- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed
- in the Status report.
-- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places.
-- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
- all other Storage specifications.
-- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.
-- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
- from a database table for restore.
-- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are
- designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.
-- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to
- accept time qualifiers.
-- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
- suggested by Eric Bollengier.
-- Apply patch for enhancing wait from Eric Bollengier. One can now:
- wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
- wait jobid=nn
- wait jobuid=unique id
- wait job=job-name
-- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
- Job Level, only during JobInit event.
-- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
- to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
- be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
-- Allow the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only
- one at a time). This is not well tested.
-- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
- Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
-- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
- bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
- bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
- bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
- bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
-- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
- explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
-- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
- wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
-- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
-- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
- - Allow multiple connections to database with different
- parameters.
- - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
- fault, but still 60 second window.
- - Additional info in Reschedule message.
- - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
- cancel, error.
- - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
- - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
- - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
- - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
- - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance).
- - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
- - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
-- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
- routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
- author of bug #565.
-- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher
- Hull.
-- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
-- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support.
- O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
- updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
- happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
- prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
- only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
- programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
- categories).
- You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting:
- noatime = yes
- The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except
- it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime.
-- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon.
-- Implement a number of user supplied patches for DVD writing.
-- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
- Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
- Delete MAC table
- Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
- Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
- Add Cost to Location table.
- Enabled to Media table and Location table.
-- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
- and forcing a 6 second wait.
-- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
- -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
-- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. This could cause print output
- to look different. The reason for this code is to eliminate the
- security problems associated with using the system libraries
- print routines.
-- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
- came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
- it is all very complicated.
-- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
- for restore.
-- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this
- class.
-- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
- job report in the Log database table.
-- Spend a lot of time integrating mkcdrec with the rescue disk.
-- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
-- Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
-- Allow true/false in some yes/no questions.
-- Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
-
-Additional Features Added for Win32:
-
-Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
-resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There
-is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that
-has the concept of drives.
-
-Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
-resource. Allowed values are: yes and no.
-
-When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the
-Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways.
-
- Patterns conform to Posix
- \ is not a special character in character classification []
- To match a - it must be the first or last character
- To match a ] it must be the first character
-
- fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a /
- so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path
-
-Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match
-against the filename portion. This in combination with the
-FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile =
-abc*.def work as expected.
-
-Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion.
-
-Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5.
-
-# Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
-WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and
-Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies"
-WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and
-Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent"
-WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local
-Settings,LOCALS~1}/History"
-WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local
-Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp"
-WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local
-Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files"
+ Release Notes for Bacula 2.4.3
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 500 Total lines = 188,945 (*.h *.c *.in)
+
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into
+any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the
+specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of
+FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will
+be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want
+reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them
+in your FileSet.
+==============================================================
+
+Release 2.4.3
+ This is a bug fix to version 2.4.2. All daemons are compatible
+ with other 2.4.x versions.
+
+Bugs Fixed:
+ 1159, 1162. 1149, 1128, 1143, 1140, 1129
+
+Change Summary:
+- Apply 2.4.2-cancel-non-running-jobs.patch to be able to cancel
+ a non created job faster.
+- This should correct bug #1159 where Migration does not properly
+ respect the Migration Low Bytes directive.
+- Fix typo in configure.in that breaks --with-db-password option
+- This code should fix the race condition that leads to a Director
+ crash at job end time when the job list is updated. This was reported
+ in bug #1162.
+- Remove all double quotes from SQLite creating script and
+ replace by single quotes as suggested by John Huttley.
+- Fix SQL case problem that may cause the failure of DiskToCatalog
+ in bug #1149.
+- Copy missing storage name into edit buffer. As far as I can tell
+ this never caused a bug.
+- Remove catalog dependency for bcopy
+- Modify catalog scripts to have an easier packaging integration,
+ using default variables.
+ Make difference between SQLite3 and SQLite in db_get_type()
+- Attempt to fix bug #1128 InChanger flag cleared during Migration
+ job when reading from one autochanger and writing to another.
+- Add more information to SD acquire.c INFO messages.
+- Fix NULL Volume name error when reading and the drive must
+ be switched.
+- Fix a Verify InitCatalog problem where in certain cases
+ a garbage filename may be entered in the verification database. This
+ fixes bug #1143.
+- Add space after version before date in bat about dialog.
+- Fix seg fault in Dir during estimate command with no level value
+ given. This fixes bug #1140.
+- Add message to migration job when the target job is already migrated.
+ This closes bug #1129.
+
+
+==============================================================
+
+Release 2.4.2
+ This is an important bug fix release since version 2.4.1.
+
+Bugs Fixed:
+ 1034, 1125, 1118, 1124, 1107, 1129, 1126
+
+Change Summary:
+26Jul08
+- When a migration job actually runs, re-check the Job record
+ and skip if the job is already migrated. This should
+ significantly reduce the problems with bug #1129.
+- Break the do_swapping into do_unload, do_swapping, and
+ do_load. It is much more logical that way.
+- Implement a set_dcr_from_vol subroutine in acquire.c for
+ reading volumes. This allows the dcr to be refreshed after being
+ zapped when the wrong volume is mounted. This should fix bug #1126 -
+- During multiple tape restore, bacula
+ does not ask for physical tape change, but rereads same tape
+- Apply patch submitted for bug #1107 with a small modification.
+ This fixes a bug where bcopy copied too many records.
+- Make some tweaks to bsmtp based on patch submitted in bug #1124.
+ This fixes bug #1124.
+- Make the default bat restore Pool be Any. This fixes bug #1118.
+- Fix bug #1125 which reports a SD crash at the end of a tape
+ during restore. It was a debug statement that should not be
+ in a release.
+- Fix #1034 by setting big timeout on mysql connections
+- Do partial integration of the Win32 bat build created by Eric.
+- Ensure that SD tried to mount a volume not in an autochanger
+ at least once before asking for operator intervention.
+- Fix a pthreads bug in the Win32 pthreads emulation code affects only
+ version 2.5.x and above.
+
+
+=================================================================
+
+Release 2.4.1:
+
+Bugs Fixed:
+ 1103, 1100, 1105, 1094, 1109, 1106, 1101, 1102, 1112
+ 1117, 1116, 1097.
+
+Change summary:
+- Clear in-use bit on vol when unused while swapping.
+- Remove sleep at end of ./bacula
+- Clear hash packet for hardlinked files correctly. This corrects
+ a long standing bug where hardlinked files selected individually
+ would occasionally not be restored.
+- Apply Eric's patch to ensure that autoprune does not return
+ a Volume not in the autochanger unless requested to do so.
+- Correct bat restore display of multiple drives. This fixes
+ bug #1117.
+- Do find_a_volume() each time an unload is done. This
+ fixes the failure of maxvol2-test.
+- Use Qmsg() in job.c watchdog callback.
+- Release main control rwlock if ABORTing.
+- Make watchdog connect timeout queue messages rather than sending
+ directly to avoid lock conflicts with the real thread.
+- Remove const char that causes problems with Python, which has
+ older 'incorrect' headers.
+- Add const char in dbd.c to avoid compiler warnings.
+- Fix mtx-changer to detect both versions of Ubuntu (Debian)
+ mt. This fixes bug #1116.
+- Fix failure of 2drive-concurrent-test. Always read label;
+ clear_unload() only after drive is defined in acquire_for_read().
+- Generally clean up the manual tape loading code. The main
+ conceptial change is that when a volume is marked to be unloaded,
+ its volume name is retained, and it is only marked as unloaded
+ when either the autoloader says it is unloaded or another tape
+ is read on that drive.
+- Fix a recycling problem with two autochangers reported in bug
+ #1106. This may also (unlikely) fix a second recycling bug as
+ reported in #1103.
+- Fix a SD lock volumes deadlock problem reported in bug #1100.
+- Fix format problem in bscan output reported in bug #1105.
+- Copy more data when restarting a job so that run
+ overrides are kept. This should fix bug #1094.
+- Backport updates to jobq.c where possible.
+- Fix bug where SD did not ask operator if the device could not
+ be opened. Reported by Eric.
+- Add dbuser to DIR conf file (replaces user).
+- Add --with-db-password to ./configure
+- Fix regress to handle db_password.
+- Fix a couple of pedantic compiler warnings.
+- Fix bug when starting a restore on a storage that doesn't
+ have the requested MediaType.
+- More work on word alignments -- eliminate all ints from
+ the configuration routines.
+- Fix bug reported by Scott Barninger where the bacula script
+ refers to scripts in the wrong directory. Needed to meet the
+ requirements of recent FHS location changes.
+- Fix word alignment problem on non-Intel 64 bit machines
+ such as Solaris. This should fix bug #1097 -- bus error in SD.
+- Add missing win32/patches/wxWidgets.patch to 2.4 repository.
+
+=====================
+
+Release 2.4.0
+This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
+but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
+use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
+not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
+no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version
+2.2.x to version 2.4.0
+
+This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
+but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
+Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
+code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
+with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
+said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
+the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+ 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038
+ 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031
+
+New features:
+- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use
+ --without-qwt as a ./configure option.
+
+Release Version 2.4.0
+- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes.
+- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume.
+ This fixes bug #1095.
+- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should
+ fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro.
+- Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug
+ #1086.
+- Fix possible seg fault if SQL error.
+- Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name.
+- If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and
+ try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went
+ wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously
+ this error was fatal, now it produces an error message.
+- Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore
+- Fix a few more Coverity reported problems.
+- Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command.
+- Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race
+ conditions.
+- Make sure device not busy before doing label command.
+- Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too
+ many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070.
+- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any
+ reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the
+ directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as
+ with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be
+ backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files.
+ This fixes bug #1041.
+- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes).
+- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity.
+- Implement --without-qwt
+- Fix layout of restore tree dialog
+- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built
+ with or without the QWT libaries.
+- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume
+ from one drive to another.
+- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions.
+- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives.
+ This fixes bug #1083.
+- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
+ the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
+ bug #1083.
+- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
+ This fixes bug #1078.
+- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a
+ warning rather than an error.
+- Fix SQL query in migration code
+- Fix bat seg fault at termination.
+- Add Bacula generated version to bat about box.
+- Backport development stream SD reservation system changes.
+- When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger.
+- Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the
+ same volume name twice in a row.
+- Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make
+ the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically
+ handling the responsibilities.
+- Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just
+ causes a seg fault in many cases.
+- Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and
+ swapping volumes.
+- Prevent volume from being released while being swapped.
+- Refactor parts of stored/mount.c

+- Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to
+ autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code.
+- Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job.
+- Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking
+ the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by
+ another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it.
+- Correct some SD catalog request error messages.
+- Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD
+ when reading past an EOS_LABEL.
+- Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just
+ causes problems.
+- Lock volumes when unreserving a device.
+- Do not mark volume unused when recycling.
+- Fix bug #1068 fixes a SD crash when using Virtual autochanger.
+- Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when
+ running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
+ <tih@hamartun.priv.no> for excellent analysis and testing.
+- *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9
+ Mostly SD reservations enhancements.
+- Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination
+ of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038.
+- Fixes a StorageId problem with volumes after migration.
+- Implements autostart scripts for Debian
+- Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program.

+
+=========================================================================
+
+Version 2.2.8 is a bug fix to version 2.2.7:
+- It fixes bugs: 1036, 1033(doc), 1028, 1040, 1045(doc), 1030,
+ 1042(partially), and possibly bugs 1018 and 1032.
+ Bugs 1018 and 1032 involve problems with multiple-drive autochangers,
+ and are difficult to reproduce.
+ See the ChangeLog for more details.
+
+Version 2.2.7 has several new features and several important bug fixes
+ since version 2.2.6:
+- It fixes bugs: 1009, 1022, 1024, 1019, 1012, 1021, 1020
+ 1007, 1008. For more details, please see the technotes-2.1 file.
+- Fixed a seg fault reported by Frank Sweetser that depended on
+ exact path lengths, but the problem was in bsnprintf.c
+- Double quoting include filenames (@xxx) in Bacula conf files is now
+ possible, thanks to a patch by Michael Stapelberg.
+- You can pipe input to include filenames (@|prog) by using a vertical
+ bar, thanks to the above patch.
+- A daylight savings time bug in the Win32 bsmpt was fixed by a patch from
+ Nerijus Baliunas.
+- Marc Cousins submitted a patch that permits building the PostgreSQL
+ driver with version 8.3.
+- The configure option --archivedir has been changed to --with-archivedir
+
+Version 2.2.6 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.5
+- It fixes bugs: #1003, 942, 982, 990(response only), 991,
+ 993, 986, 976.
+- Fix bat crash wen it cannot connect to Director.
+- Fix joblist failure bug in bat.
+
+Version 2.2.5 is a major bug fix release to version 2.2.4
+- It fixes the following bugs: #961, 962, 963, 969, 968, 960,
+ 964, (possibly 935 and 903), 953, 953, 967, 966, 965, 954,
+ 957, 908, 958, and 955.
+- It also improves listing performance problems in bat pointed
+ out by Chris Howells.
+
+Version 2.2.4 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.3
+- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953.
+- Possible fix for bug #908.
+- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
+ file to always be deleted.
+- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
+ This fixes bug #950.
+- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
+ trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
+ Fixes bug #906.
+- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
+ should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices
+ are released as soon as possible.
+- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
+ have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
+ in bug #942, but not the main problem.
+- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
+ by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
+- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
+ TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
+- Fix bug #946 about 'bacula-dir -t' which doesn't works
+ as expected.
+- Using 'm' in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions
+ and not memory usage.
+
+- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
+ program.
+
+Version 2.2.3 is a critical bug fix release to version 2.2.2
+- Fix bug #935, and possibly also bug #903 where files were not
+ restored. MediaId was not properly set in JobMedia record after
+ a Volume change. This bug is known to affect all versions from
+ 2.0.0 on, and probably versions prior to that. A detailed analysis
+ of the bug can be found at:
+
+ http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-395.txt
+
+- Add ./configure search in qwt-qt4 for qwt package
+- Apply Martin Simmons patch that should turn off the new API usage
+ when batch insert is turned off allowing building on older
+ PostgreSQLs.
+- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
+ program.
+
+Version 2.2.2 is a minor bug fix release to 2.2.1
+- Detect if new PosgreSQL batch insert API is present.
+- Correct incorrect mempool call causing Director crash on older
+ systems that do not have va_copy().
+- Update spec files for 2.2.1 release
+
+Version 2.2.1 is mainly a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.0,
+ the main changes since 2.2.0 are:
+- Fixed bugs #921, 930, and 923.
+- More portable timezone offset in bsmtp thaks to Attila Fülöp.
+- Fix several bat issues.
+- Use GTK+ calls instead of egg files in tray-monitor.
+- Win32 service routines rewritten
+- Updated projects file
+Please see the ChangeLog for details.
+
+Notes on 2.2.0 release follow:
+
+Areas requiring caution or testing:
+- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
+ to build with MySQL enabled.
+- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
+ your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions.
+- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
+ to what we do with sockets).
+- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
+ bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris.
+- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
+ This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
+ of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
+ The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
+- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please
+ test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse
+ points.
+- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
+
+The major new features are:
+- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
+ many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
+- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
+ bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
+ must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
+ (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
+ must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
+- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
+- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
+ thanks to Eric.
+- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
+- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
+ swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
+ implemented.
+- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
+ conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
+- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
+- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
+- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
+- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
+- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
+- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
+ during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
+- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
+ mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
+
+New ./configure options:
+- --enable-bwx-console
+- --enable-bat
+- --with-qwt=
+- --with-db-name=
+- --with-db-user=
+- --enable-batch-insert
+
+New bconsole commands:
+- exec
+- memory
+- update recyclepool
+- .sql
+- .api
+- .pwd (in restore tree)
+- restoreclient (keyword)
+- backupclient (keyword)
+- regexwhere (keyword)
+- update jobid (new command)
+- recyclepool (keyword)
+
+New directives:
+- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf)
+- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage)
+- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client)
+- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
+- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool)
+- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript)
+- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
+- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
+
+Other features or bug fixes:
+- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907,
+ 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872
+ 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859,
+ 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772,
+ 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791,
+ 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764,
+ 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743.
+- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with
+ --with-qwt=<dir>. See Installation chapter of manual for details.
+- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are
+ needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both
+ these packages in the distro.
+- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead
+ of prepending.
+- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the
+ Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount
+ directives are defined.
+- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries.
+- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor.
+ Use the command line or the Services panne.
+- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool.
+- More debug output in status storage.
+- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some
+ critical columns were lost).
+- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems,
+ which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which
+ should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly
+ (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but
+ concurrent jobs should run much faster.
+- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
+ the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
+- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
+ pool and media type when a job is waiting.
+- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
+- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
+- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request)
+- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request)
+- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
+- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
+- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
+ in front of the configuration path/filename.
+- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
+ memory usage, and an in use buffer dump.
+- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
+ filename restrictions.
+- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug.
+- Additional version information added to Job reports.
+- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
+- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
+ is already a < in the target.
+- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
+ mounted by another job.
+- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
+- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
+- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
+- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
+- Drop from root done before database is opened.
+- Database user and name can be configured with:
+ --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
+- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
+- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
+ This appears to have been an unreported bug.
+- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
+- Better restricted console ACL checking.
+- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
+ users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
+- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
+ job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
+- Sockets are no longer restored.
+- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
+- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
+ large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
+- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
+- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
+ which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies
+ the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
+ not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
+- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
+ catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
+ and DVD).
