Technical notes on version 2.1
General:
+18Mar07
+kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
+kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
+ebl Fix AfterJob timing
+kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
+ to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
+ and bacula access to the DB.
+kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
+kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
+ uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
+kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
+ Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
+kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
+ wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
+ return immediately).
+kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
+ running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
+kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
+ fix bug #802.
+kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
+ the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
+ Fixes bug #797.
+10Mar07
+kes Extend new GUI API.
+kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
+ error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
+08Mar07
+kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
+ bug #798.
+kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
+kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
+07Mar07
+kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
+05Mar07
+kes More bat implementation.
+kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
+ of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
+kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
+ crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
+kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
+kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
+kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
+kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
+04Mar07
+kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
+ tape alert info.
+02Mar07
+kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
+ cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
+kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
+ modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
+29Feb07
+kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
+ volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
+28Feb07
+kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
+kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
+27Feb07
+kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
+kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
+ in bug #791.
+26Feb07
+kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
+24Feb07
+ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
+22Feb07
+kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
+kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
+ not be zeroed.
+kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
+ who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
+ them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
+21Feb07
+kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
+ than English. Fixes bug #788.
+20Feb07
+ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
+ This fixes bug #780
+ You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
+ It will be fixed soon.
+ If you want to use this, you can apply
+ trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
+19Feb07
+kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
+ no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
+ set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
+ebl finish RecyclePool feature
+ Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
+ when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
+ update volume=xxx frompool
+ To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
+ Pool {
+ Name = Default
+ RecyclePool = Scratch
+ ...
+ }
+ TODO: update manual
+kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
+kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
+ that returns more information and will make it easier
+ to interface to the Director from a program.
+18Feb07
+kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
+ obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
+ first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
+kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
+ changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
+ implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
+ the Changer Command to an empty string.
+17Feb07
+kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
+ in a single write() request rather than in two.
+ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
+ volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
+16Feb07
+kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
+ to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
+kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
+kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
