- Release Notes for Bacula 1.36.1
+ Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.0
- Bacula code: Total files = 396 Total lines = 116,418 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ Bacula code: Total files = 438 Total lines = 154,329 (*.h *.c *.in)
+The major features are:
+- First cut of bat (Bacula Administration Tool)
+- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
+- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times).
+- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files.
+- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
+- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance.
+- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
+- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
+ conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
+- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
+- New Recycle Pool feature.
+- 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.
-Major Changes:
-- There is a new Win32 pebuilder rescue disk thanks to Scott. This
- is worth the effort to checkout.
-- A number of indexes have been removed from the PostgreSQL
- database to improve performance during backups. You may need to
- add these indexes if you do Verifies. See the scripts.
-- We now have a Gentoo ebuild -- thanks Scott.
-- There are a number of new ./configure options for the
- bimagemgr. Please see the documentation or ./configure --help
-- The RedHat autostart scripts disable using /lib/tls. If you
- don't want this you will need to turn it off.
-- Corrected a problem with the default SD and FD conf files that
- incorrectly set Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1. This prevented
- running a job and obtaining the status at the same time.
-- All daemon messages are now prefixed with a short date/time,
- and queued messages (generated in the comm routines) have the
- time the message was generated rather than the time the message
- was sent (usually much later).
-- Fixed a bug with the autochanger code not respecting the InChanger
- flag.
-
-
-New Directives:
-- None since 1.36.0
-
-New Commands:
-- None since 1.36.0
-
-Items to note!!!
-- The output from Job reports has been modified to include the
- seconds on the start/end times, the Storage device used, and to
- indent the output differently.
-- If you created a PostgreSQL database under version 1.36.0, there
- are two things you might want to do. 1. manually remove some
- of the File table indexes to improve backup performance. See the
- make_postgresql_tables script. 2. run fix_postgresql_tables (in
- src/cats and updatedb) to correct a table. This is necessary only
- if you are creating disk Volumes greater than 2GB.
-- As of 1.35.5 you MUST do a database update.
-
- cd scripts-dir (or src/cats)
- ./update_bacula_tables
-
-- All daemons should be compatible with 1.34 with the exception
- of the new FileSet features such as regular expressions.
-- Regular expressions are not supported in the Win32 FD.
-
-Other Items:
-- It is now possible to build the Rescue CDROM using a pre-installed
- static Bacula FD.
-- Corrected a bug in the traceback code when Bacula was executed without
- a path. Tracebacks should now work in more cases.
-- Corrected a typo in the traceback script.
-- Fixed the mtx autochanger script so that it correctly waits on
- Linux systems (if you manually enable the code).
-- Added grant all on cdimages for PostgreSQL users of bimagemgr.
-- The actual Job start time is now correctly recorded in the catalog.
-- You can now specify a JobId (or multiple ones separated by commas) on
- the restore command line.
-- A -d50 will now turn on lots of debug code if you are having
- authentication errors.
-- Found a workaround to a /lib/tls pthreads bug (a library seg fault).
-- Added an ALERT message class for Alert messages.
-- Fixed a seg fault in the restore tree routine when attempting
- to select certain files in the root directory.
-- Allow other jobs to request new Volumes while operator intervention
- is needed -- previously all stalled.
-- Enhancements to btape test (don't loop if certain tape errors occur).
-- Improvements to the Win32 install.

+- Solaris door and event port files are no longer restored.
+- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
+ filename restrictions.
+- Corrected Win32 ftruncate bug.

+ is already a < in the target.
+- Perfer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
+ mounted by another job.
+- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11

+ --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.

+ large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.

+- 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.
