+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.39.26
Bacula code: Total files = 447 Total lines = 149,711 (*.h *.c *.in)
-New Features in 1.39.22:
-- 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.
+Version 1.39.26 contains mainly bug fixes to 1.39.24. Please
+ see the ChangeLog for more details.

+==== 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
./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
are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will
be unreadable by version 1.39.22.
-==== IMPORTANT miscelleaneous ====
+==== 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.
New Features in 1.40.0:
+- 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.

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 inital work was done by Howard Thomson,
+ 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
or

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
+ 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

listing where they could be "lost".
- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.

+ explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
