Technical notes on version 2.1
General:
+23Mar07
+ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
+22Mar07
+kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
+kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
+ the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
+ of other prune/purge subroutines.
+kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
+ that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
+ job.
+kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
+ src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
+ src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
+ src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
+ src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
+21Mar07
+ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
+kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
+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.
+13Feb07
+kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
+ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
11Feb07
kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
in the case of orphaned records.
kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
- idea came from Alan Brown (if I remember right).
+ idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
happens to the ScratchPool?
kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
- should be some way to turn of timing. I'm not sure
+ should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
times are in Bacula units.
kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
09Feb07
Fixes bug #771.
kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
-ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes
+ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
04Feb07
kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
problem is with read or append.
