+ 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
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.
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
