- Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.6-beta5
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.11
- Bacula code: Total files = 419 Total lines = 137,078 (*.h *.c *.in)
- 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
+ Bacula code: Total files = 423 Total lines = 139,479 (*.h *.c *.in)
-!!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- If you are compiling for a 64 bit machine, you need to ensure
- that the code is compiled with the -O0 (- oh zero) option otherwise
- the SD will crash on most all operations -- apparently due to
- a compiler bug in gcc's 64 bit code generation.
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Warning for version 1.38.8 and greater:
+- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case
+ in wild-card comparions. To get the same behavior as before,
+ you must explicitly use "Ignore Case = yes" in your FileSet.
+- Backslashes are no longer permitted in File directives
+ (typical error for Windows users), unless the string is
+ enclosed in double quotes, in which case, the backslashes
+ must be doubled.
-New features:
+Major Changes for 1.38.11
+- Add test for IRIX64 as OS
+- Fix scheduler hang during clock shift (due to missing unlock())
+- Minor tweaks to bregex.c
+- Fix to block.c to correctly check for DVD number of parts.
+- Fix to dev.c to permit DVD seeking in spool file. Corrects
+ label rewriting problems.
+- Clarify license for techlogs (GPL). I consider them "part" of
+ the source code of Bacula.
+- Use FDL license for developer's manual, French translation, German
+ translation, bimagemgr manuals (same as the main manual), and
+ the web site.
+
+New features for 1.38.11:

+====================================================================
+
+Major Changes for 1.38.10:
+- This is a primarily a bug fix release, with the following bugs being
+ resolved #570, 609, 611, 613, 614, 617 as well as other bugs not
+ reported in the bugs database. See below for details.
+- The bconsole "reload" command should now work properly in virtually
+ all situations thanks to the efforts of a number of people (Eric,
+ Christopher, and myself).
+- There is an untested fix to eliminate the scheduling problems (either
+ no job run or the same job run twice) during sudden clock shifts (daylight
+ savings time change).
+- The manual has been released under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL).
+ The major difference is that this removes the prior restriction on
+ commercial reproduction of the manual.
+- Fixed a race condition (thanks to Christopher) on dual processor machines
+ that caused jobs to block when starting with the SD.
+
+New features for 1.38.10:
+- None
+
+Fixes for 1.38.10:
+08Jun06
+- Modify setting ACLs to suppress error message if the file is a
+ symbolic link since the file linked to may not yet be created,
+ and symbolic links really should not have attributes ...
+06Jun06
+- Complete implementation of acl.c error message during restore.
+ During backups, errors getting acls are silently ignored, as was
+ previously the case.
+04Jun06
+- Modify configure.in to check for typeof().
+- Better detection of postgresql installation if pg_conf works.
+- Fix RescheduleTimes = 0 bug (should not reschedule).
+- Down port from 1.39: fixes for reload, autochanger error messages,
+ scheduler fixes for reload and day light savings change,
+01Jun06
+- Implement partial error messages for src/filed/acl.c
+- Fix return code to fail when doing update barcodes and
+ Pool resource is not found. This previously caused Volumes
+ to be labeled as cleaning tapes.
+- Small updates to projects file.
+26May06
+- Prevent DVD code from rewriting label if the device cannot be
+ opened read/write.
+- Fix Dir/SD run race in migrate.c, verify.c, and restore.c
+- Update projects file.
+24May06
+- Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure
+ of restarted jobs to complete (due to a destroyed pthreads conditional
+ variable used by the message thread).
+- Fixed bug #619 where Bacula would not restart jobs with MaxRestartTimes
+ set to zero.
+- Apply patch from John Goerzen bug #611 to fix bad manual links in the code.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #614 to removed trailing
+ colons in query.sql file.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #613 to correct prunning of files
+ not to create orphans.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #617 to use mtime instead of ctime
+ in restore long listing.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #609 to use MarkId in verify.c instead
+ of incorrect MarkedId.
+- Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace
+ Director with File daemon).
+21May06
+- Move DIR "run" command to SD before starting the message thread
+ as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from
+ two threads using the bsock structure.
+- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
+05May06
+- Correct EOF with no \n lex.c problem.
+- Add additional INFO messages if autochanger cannot be used.
+- Add Eric Bollengier's lex error handler fix, which corrects most
+ of the reload problems.
+
+
+New features for 1.38.9:
+- A "Dir Status" button in the Gnome console.
+
+Fixes:
+This is mainly a bug fix release containing a collection of
+ minor fixes for 1.38.8.
+- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during
+ a restore.
+- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file.
+- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap
+ statistics.
+- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
+ they should not be (e.g. commands).
+- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
+ Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
+- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
+ listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
+ values.
+- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
+ and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
+- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
+ machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
+ there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
+ FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
+ restorable.
+- Delete src/win32/License.txt
+- Modify installer to install LICENSE
+- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
+- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
+- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
+- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
+ Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
+- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
+ working directory. Fixes bug #578.
+- Update job start time after the any run before job so that
+ files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
+ bug #599.
+- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
+ the restore command when reading a file. This permits
+ the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
+ bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
+- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
+ command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
+ the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
+ was suggested by the user.
+- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
+ portability.
+- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
+ more portability.
+- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
+ than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.
+- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in
+ as reported by a user.
+
+
+New features for 1.38.8:
+- Regex, RegexFile, and RegexDir are now implemented in the
+ Win32 FD. However, this is new experimental code that is
+ largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory
+ leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully
+ before using.
+- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex
+ and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and
+ wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other
+ binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems.
+
+Fixes:
+- See below.
+
+New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases:
- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
no appendable Volumes are available.
- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
+- Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
+ disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
+ be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
+ Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
+- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
+- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that
+ allows you to try regular expressions on your system.
Major bug fixes:
- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
