Technical notes on version 1.39
General:
+22Nov06
+kes Cleanup some of the error termination code in migration.
+kes Separate read/write source strings to keep track of where
+ storage devices are used in a job.
+kes Implement a new method of keeping track of which storage
+ device is used in a Job. USTORE keeps both a pointer to the
+ resource and to the source string.
+kes Modify all code to use new storage set subroutines in job.c
+kes Modify migrate.c so that the definitive selection of the storage
+ resource is done in the do_migration_init() routine prior to
+ the job going into the job queue. This permits accurate
+ deadlock detection (same read and write storage resource).
+kes Remove bfill from btape (I think it was a left over stub).
+22Nov06
+kes Make sure that the storage for a job is pulled first from
+ the Pool and if not from the Job.
+kes Ensure that either the Pool or the Job specifies a Storage
+ resource.
+21Nov06
+kes Start applying new FSFE copyright.
+20Nov06
+kes Add additional error messages in acquiring a drive for read.
+kes Make WritePartAfterJob the default so that the last DVD part
+ always gets written to the DVD by default.
+kes Add additional error messages in migration.
+kes Suppress redundant error messages in migration (possibly more to do).
+kes Apply Martin's fix (updated to 1.39) that takes into account
+ run storage overrides in the Director status display.
+kes Implement, but turn off the submitted code that sets the EOT
+ model on FreeBSD machines. Turning on this code is too risky at
+ this point in the development.
+19Nov06
+kes Implement unique dbid routine for migration to prevent the same
+ JobId from being migrated twice. This should fix bug #709.
+18Nov06
+kes Apply Jaime Ventura's 'mail on success' patch.
+kes Add a SMALLOC_SANITY_CHECK for Arno, which aborts Bacula
+ if memory usage gets too big.
+kes Tweak migration to ensure that read/write devices are different.
+17Nov06
+kes Create an AUTHORS file to list Bacula contributors.
+kes Add Richard Stallman's four GPL freedoms to LICENSE
+kes Require the conf file to have a valid NextPool for writing the
+ migration output.
+16Nov06
+ebl Enable RecycleCount in catalog.
+ebl Fix "echo python | bconsole" segfault
+14Nov06
+kes Implement code to pass the MediaId to the SD. The SD then uses
+ this MediaId when creating JobMedia records. This fixes a bug
+ with Migration where the MediaId got set to the second Volume
+ read rather than the write Volume. Possibly (unlikely) fixes
+ bug #709.
+kes Remove NextPool from Job resource.
+kes Edit a few numbers in the restore dialog with commas.
+kes Note, the DIR<->SD protocol has changed.
+13Nov06
+kes Replace () by {} in configure.in for proper HP configuration.
+kes Shorten some lines over 80 characters in filed/backup.c
+kes Cast sizeof() in filed/backup.c to avoid compiler warning.
+Version 1.39.28 released:
+12Nov06
+kes Change error message 'illegal' to 'invalid' -- bug #707
+kes Add rather primitive device resource deadlock detection in
+ the job queue handler. It detects the same read and write device
+ for migration and cancels the job.
+kes Start adding a unique_dbid_hander() routine in migration to avoid
+ duplicate mediaids and duplicate jobids.
+kes Add patch from bug #708 to permit relative paths such as ../xxx
+ in the restore tree routine.
+kes Add Eric Bollengier's patch to reduce locking time in the SD after
+ despooling, and thus many jobs finish faster.
+kes Correct locking order of reservations lock and device mutex in
+ reserve.c -- this should correct Arno's deadlock that occurred
+ when doing mount/unmount at the same time a job is reserving a
+ drive.
+05Nov06
+rbn Fixed problems with encryption when combined with compression
+ or sparse files. Unfortunately this means that all previous
+ encrypted backups can't be restored.
+rbn Fixed problem in bfgets with Windows and Mac end of lines.
+rbn Fixed bug in Windows version of close_bpipe() that cause programs
+ like bsmtp() to hang waiting for the pipe to be closed. Fixed
+ binary file type problems in open_bpipe().
+rbn Fixed a number of bugs in the mysql DB scripts.
+03Nov06
+ebl Fix broken runscript on director. (RunBefore, RunAfter)
+ebl Use M_ERROR instead of M_FATAL in runscript.c
31Oct06
ebl Small fix src/dird/job.c to add JobErrors count to catalog.
rbn Ignore UTF-8 marker at the start of .conf files.
21Oct06
rbn Change daemons and utilities so that if -c is omitted from the
command line AND there is no configuration file in the current
- directory then the "standard" configuration file (eg
+ directory then the 'standard' configuration file (eg
/etc/bacula/bacula-*.conf) will be used. If the argument to -c
doesn't contain any path separators AND there is no configuration
- file by that name in the current directory then the "standard"
+ file by that name in the current directory then the 'standard'
configuration file directory will be searched for a file by that
name.
rbn Fixed restore on Windows so that backslashes as path separators works.
kes Send a message to the sys log when Bacula forces a SEG FAULT, and
send the same message to stdout.
07Oct06
-kes Begin work on new GUI "console".
+kes Begin work on new GUI 'console'.
kes Make configure look in non-standard MySQL library directory
for Solaris.
kes Make mtx-changer automatically configure the autochanger wait
