- Release Notes for Bacula 2.1.14
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 458 Total lines = 170,197 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-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. However, bat works only with
-a 2.1.8 Director or greater.
-
-Changes since Beta release 2.1.12
-- Fixed bugs #864, 872, 874, 882, 882
-- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
- mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
-- Fix update all from pool to pass pool name.
-- Correct reservation system bug that invalidated Volumes by
- calling find_next_appendable volume before acquiring a device.
-
-Changes since Beta release 2.1.10
-- Lots of new bat functionality !!!!!!
-- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
- the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
-- Reload was broken in 2.1.10 -- now fixed.
-- 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
-- Reduce the impact of a backup on the FD's memory usage (OS file
- caching). This works only on POSIX compliant systems. This allows
- users to work with less interference on a Client machine during a
- backup.
-- bat should now handle non-English characters.
-- ./configure now permits --enable-batch-insert (as well as --disable...).
- This feature is enabled by default if your SQL libraries are thread
- safe.
-- 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
-
-Areas requiring caution or testing:
-- You must have Qt4 Version 4.2 or greater loaded to build bat
-- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
- to build with MySQL enabled.
-- The Volume management in the Storage daemon is extensively rewritten.
- It appears to function much better, but is largely untested under
- severe production stress conditions (multiple drive autochangers, ...).
-- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
- your database to grow compared to prior Bacula version.
-- Socket level heartbeat is untested.
-- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
- to what we do with sockets).
-- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
-- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
- bus errors.
-
-The major new features are:
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
- many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
-- First cut 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, and
- qmake and the other Qt4 tools must be available. bat is ALPHA
- software. A large part of the work 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.
-- 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 -- 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.
-
-Other features or bug fixes:
-- Fixed bugs: 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.
-- Only the minumum number of volumes are pruned rather than
- all volumes in the pool.
-- wx-console renamed to bwx-console
-- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console
-- 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 a in use buffer dump.
-- 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.
-- 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.
-- 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
-- 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).

+Release 7.0.0
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 713 Total lines = 305,722
+ The diff between Bacula 5.2.13 and Bacula 7.0.0 is 622,577 lines,
+ which represents very large change.
+
+This is a major new release with many new features and a
+number of changes. Please take care to test this code carefully
+before putting it into production. Although the new features
+have been tested, they have not run in a production environment.
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+For packagers, if you change options, naming, and the way
+we link our shared object files, as at least one of you does,
+you are creating a situation where the user may not be able
+to run multiple versions of Bacula on the same machine, which
+is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration
+that the project cannot properly support.
+
+Please note that the documentation has significantly changed.
+You will need additional packages to build it such as inkscape.
+Please see the README and README.pct files in the docs directory.
+The packages come with pre-build English pdf and html files,
+which are located in the docs/docs/manuals/en/pdf-and-html directory.
+
+Packagers: please note that the Bacula LICENSE has changed, it is still
+AGPLv3 and still open source. A new requirement has been added which
+requires other projects using the source to keep the acreditations.
+
+Packagers: please note that the docs license has changed. It is now
+licensed: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International
+This is a common open source license.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+Compatibility:
+--------------
+As always, both the Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded at
+the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
+or Storage daemon must be of the same version.
+
+Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.0.0 Director and Storage
+daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.
