Technical notes on version 2.1
General:
+11Apr07
+kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
+ executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
+ should be enclosed in double quotes.
+kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
+ it should normally be off in a production system.
+10Apr07
+kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
+kes Implement SD lock debug code.
+kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
+ is now owned by the device.
+04Apr07
+kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
+ resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
+ tape conflicts described in bug 801.
+03Apr07
+kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
+kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
+02Apr07
+ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
+kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
+ recent 2.1.x change.
+01Apr07
+kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
+kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
+kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
+kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
+31Mar07
+ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
+ it has changed during backup, if "checkfilechanges" is set.
+ The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
+ each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
+ 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
+ error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
+30Mar07
+kes Make database name and user configurable
+ --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
+kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
+29Mar07
+kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
+kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
+ formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
+ the code.
+28Mar07
+kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
+kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
+ message class calls.
+kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
+kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
+27Mar07
+kes Add context menu for floating a window.
+kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
+kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
+kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
+ FreeBSD to bsock.c
+ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
+ sqlite2 and sqlite3.
+26Mar07
+kes More pruning cleanup.
+kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
+kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
+kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
+ No install yet though.
+25Mar07
+kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
+kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
+ Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
+ for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
+24Mar07
+kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
+ previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
+23Mar07
+kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
+ if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
+ resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
+ volumes.
+kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
+ to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
+ amount of duplicated code.
+kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
+ if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
+kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
+ and architecture.
+kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
+ ua_purge.c.
+ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
+ Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
+ Fix sql stuff for mysql
+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.
