+We have released Bacula Version 5.2.1 to Source Forge
+
+
+ Release Notes for Bacula 5.2.1
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 1,110 Total lines = 231,439 (Using SLOCCount)
+
+General:
+--------
+
+This 5.2.1 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
+It includes well over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 contributors,
+lots of bug fixes (see below), 1,851 software commits,and a
+number of important new features:
+
+Version 5.2.0
+-------------
+Version 5.2.0 was short lived, because Marco (thanks) found
+a number of last minute bugs. So the first official release of 5.2
+is 5.2.1.
+
+Compatibility:
+--------------
+ As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
+ the same time.
+
+ Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.1
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
+
+Main New Features:
+------------------
+- LZO Compression
+- New Tray Monitor
+- Purge Migration Job
+- Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)
+- Changes in the Pruning Algorithm
+- Ability to Verify any specified Job
+- Additions to RunScript variables
+- Additions to the Plugin API
+- ACL enhancements
+- XATTR enhancements
+- Class Based Database Backend Drivers
+- Hash List Enhancements
+
+Some of the above are described below; all the above are
+described in more detail in the New Features chapter of the
+manual.
+
+Closed Bugs since 5.0.3:
+---------------------
+1389 1444 1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1493 1494 1497 1499 1501
+1502 1504 1509 1511 1513 1516 1524 1526 1527 1532 1536 1538 1541 1542 1549
+1551 1553 1554 1558 1559 1560 1564 1567 1568 1569 1571 1574 1577 1581 1582

+1633 1643 1648 1655 1661 1664 1666 1669 1672 1675 1684 1685 1695 1696 1699
+1700 1703 1735 1741 1749 1751 1761 1762 1764 1768 1770 1771 2710
+
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+
+ The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
+ restore since the last Full backup. This is, of course, correct and desirable,
+ but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
+ prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
+
+Building Bat:
+-------------
+To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
+version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
+your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
+
+Packaging the SQL backend:
+--------------------------
+The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
+in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
+by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
+be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
+at the same time.
+
+- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
+ --with-sqlite3
+ --with-mysql
+ --with-postgresql
+
+Order of testing for database is
+- postgresql
+- mysql
+- sqlite3
+
+Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
+A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
+
+At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
+backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
+the default backend type.
+
+If you configure all 3 backends you get 3 backend libraries and the postgresql
+gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default you can
+copy one of the 3 backend libraries over the libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
+
+cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
+
+And update the default backend in the following files:
+
+create_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_tables
+grant_bacula_privileges
+make_bacula_tables
+make_catalog_backup
+update_bacula_tables
+
+New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
+-----------------------------------------------
+This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
+scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
+14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
+detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
+recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
+using rpms.
+
+The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
+source (i.e. manually):
+1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
+2. Save a copy of your existing database.
+3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
+ Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
+ at the bottom of this file.
+4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
+5. ./update_bacula_tables
+6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
+ script and put the name of another database, and then
+ execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
+ catalogs have been updated.
+7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
+ not print any error messages.
+
+If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
+script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
+table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
+(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
+be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
+command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
+catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
+aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
+size.
+
+================================================================
+
+Changes:
+
+Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements:
+- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option)
+- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster
+- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
+ memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
+- limit command in some list commands
+- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access
+- Faster crc32 algorithm
+
+Security Enhancements:
+- Additional security against injection of illegal characters
+- Fix possible fnmatch problem
+
+Features Enhancements:
+- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms:
+ AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64
+- Tray monitor for Windows
+- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog
+ backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent
+ of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the
+ libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend
+ to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL).
+- Indent lsmark during restore
+- Disable batch insert config item
+- Director selection option in bconsole
+- restorejob command in bconsole
+- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
+- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
+ work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
+- Improved hash table for hard links
+- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
+ and %h (Client Address)
+
+Other Enhancements:
+- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and
+ junction points.
+- New database format
+- Many new plugin API features
+- Improved memory handling for restores
+- Significant stability enhancements to bat
+- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning
+- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.

+Bacula Version 5.0.1 has been released to Source Forge
+
+Bacula version 5.0.1 source code and Windows (32/64 bit) binaries have been
+released to Source Forge (thanks Eric).
+
+This is a major bug fix release including a few directives that have been
+rewritten, one new directive, and some different directive behavior (see the
+release notes below). As is usual for a patch release (last digit changes by
+one), this version is compatible with the 5.0.0 database and with prior
+clients. However, you *must* upgrade all components that are on any one
+machine (that is you must upgrade your Director, Storage daemon, and File
+daemon at the same time, if they reside on the same machine).
+
+Note, Bacula does not normally uninstall previous versions, and we have
+changed the shared object naming convention, so you might want to first save
+your configuration files then uninstall the old Bacula using the old Bacula
+uninstall prior to installing the new one. If you do not, it should not be
+serious, but you may be left with some older Bacula shared objects that are
+not used and hence wasting a small amount of disk space.
+
+If you are upgrading from version 3.0.x or prior, please see the full release
+notes as you must do a database upgrade. When updating from 5.0.0 to this
+release there is no database upgrade needed.
+
+Scott has made a number of changes and improvements in the rpm packaging over
+the past few weeks since version 5.0.0 was released, so he will probably be
+releasing the 5.0.1 rpms quite soon.
+
+Thanks for using Bacula :-)
+
+Best regards,
+
+Kern
+
+============= Performance Note ==================
+
+Some of you have encountered performance problems with your
+database (mainly with MySQL) with Bacula version 5.0.0. This is
+mainly because we've changed the SQL query used for restore,
+accurate jobs and base jobs. We have extensively tested this
+change, and though it should be a little bit slower than the previous
+versions, on a well configured database it should run
+extremely well.
+
+We strongly recommend to avoid the temptation to add new indexes.
+In general, these will cause very significant performance
+problems in other areas. A better approch is to carefully check
+that all your MySQL memory configuation parameters are are
+suitable for the size of your installation. If you backup
+millions of files, you need to adapt the database memory
+configuration parameters concerning sorting, joining and global
+memory. By default, sort and join parameters are very small
+(sometimes 8Kb), and having sufficient memory specified by those
+parameters is extremely important to run fast.
+
+If adjusting your MySQL memory configuration values does not
+solve your problem, you can also consider switching to
+PostgreSQL, which performs much better with Bacula on big
+installations (many millions of files per Job). However for
+large installations, you will also need to adjust the default
+PostgreSQL memory configuration parameters.
+
+==========================================
+
+
+ Release Notes for Bacula 5.0.1
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 1,081 Total lines = 217,272 (Using SLOCCount)
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+The Allow Duplicate Jobs directive has been significantly
+reworked, and the default value has changed. See below.
+
+Truncate On Purge has been totally rewritten. See the new
+features section of the manual.
+
+When Volume Poll Interval is set in the SD DEVICE configuration,
+(default 5 mins), after a certain number of polling tries (approx
+10) polling will stop and the operator will be asked to
+resolve the problem. Previously there was no limit, and an
+error message could be produced at each poll attempt.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+Changes since 5.0.0
+-------------------
+- We believe that we have resolved most of the problems
+ concerning canceled or failed jobs being "stuck" in the
+ Director. There is one outstanding problem in the SD when
+ canceling jobs that we will fix in the next major release.
+ If you see jobs that seem to be stuck, in general issuing
+ a cancel command in bconsole should now make them go away.
+
+Directives:
+- The default for "Allow Duplicate Jobs" has been changed from
+ no to yes. If you use this directive, please check your
+ conf file, and note the next two items !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+- AllowHigherDuplicates disabled. It did not work as documented
+ and was confusing.
+- New directive "CancelLowerLevelDuplicates" See New Features
+ section in the manual.
+- Truncate on Purge rewritten. See New Features section in the manual.
+
+Bug fixes:
+1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1494 1497
+1499 1501 1505 1509 1513
+
+- Ensure SD asks for help when looping even if poll set. Fixes bug #1513.
+- Fix three-pool regress bug
+- Modify bacula.spec fixes bug #1505
+- This version fixes an issue where the console window would start out
+ docked. It is fixed by initiating the variables in the Pages class wi
+ constructor.
+- Fix make_catalog_backup.pl fails when catalog db is on other host
+- Apply MacOSX installer patch from bug #1509
+- Apply fix to previous fix of Copy problem. Fix proposed by reporter o
+ #1476
+- Fix bug #1501 -t does not print errors

+- Fix bug #1488 -- avoid recursion and race conditions in messages.c
+- Upgrade cats library also to 5.0.0
+- Fix missing console page in bat
+- Add bat help files to Window install
+- Improve Windows upgrade to ensure old FD is shutdown
+- Fix bug #1481 -- bat consumes all console file descriptors
+- Backport truncate on purge from 5.1.x

+- Apply fix for dbcheck use by make_catalog_backup.pl
+- Fix seg fault in bscan from new comment field
+- Allow multiple CNs when using TLS
+- Fix seg fault in SQlite driver
+- Make shared libs version the same as the Bacula release version
+- Remove file_index sequential check
+- Fix #1466 about Bogus pruning message
+
+For Packagers:
+1. The default query.sql file is now, except for some comments, empty.
+The old file, which we no longer support (it is impossible or difficult to
+make it work on every backend, and the queries are mostly contributed) can
+be found in <bacula-source>/examples/sample-query.sql. The sample file is
+not installed by the Makefiles
+
+2. When you install the mtx-changer script, you must also install
+mtx-changer.conf if it does not exist. This new file (mtx-changer.conf) is
+required for mtx-changer to work, but it is a user configurable file, so on
+any update, any existing file should not be overwritten.
+
+3. Bat should be built on every platform that is capabable of running Qt.
+However, the Qt code is changing rather quickly and is not always
+compatible from version to version. We have built and verified bat on Qt
+4.3.4. We strongly recommend that you do not build and distribute bat with
+any other version of Qt unless you personally test it. To build against Qt
+4.3.4, download the depkgs-qt package from the Bacula Source Forge download
+location, read the README file and follow the instructions.
+
+If you are building for Bacula version 5.0.0, please ensure that you do not
+have qmake-qt4 loaded on your system. If you do, either remove it or
+rename it before trying to build bat. If you do not, bat will probably be
+built using the shared objects on your system. For Bacula 5.0.1 and later,
+this problem (bug) does not exist.
+
+depkgs-qt does not install Qt on your system, nor does it interfere with
+you having any other version of Qt installed on your system. Once you
+build bat with depkgs-qt, it should *not* use the Qt shared objects, but
+rather they will be linked into the program. After fully installing bat
+(make install), you can run "ldd bat" to see what shared objects it will
+use. If any Qt shared objects are referenced, something has gone wrong.
+
+4. Unless absolutely necessary, we recommend that you do not define any
+special library environment variables that apply to the ./configure -- for
+example: LIBDIR=/... ./configure <your-options> is strongly discouraged.
+Doing so, could potentially cause Bacula to be linked against the wrong
+shared objects.
+
+5. The Bacula project strongly recommends that you install Bacula into a
+single directory, with a few minor exceptions such as the MySQL or
+PostgreSQL databases. Preferrably this should be /opt/bacula. The full
+recommendation is:
+
+#!/bin/sh
+# Recommended configure script for Bacula
+prefix=/opt/bacula
+email=xxx@yyy.zz
+CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \
+ ./configure \
+ --sbindir=${prefix}/bin \
+ --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc \
+ --docdir=${prefix}/html \
+ --htmldir=${prefix}/html \
+ --with-working-dir=${prefix}/working \
+ --with-pid-dir=${prefix}/working \
+ --with-subsys-dir=${prefix}/working \
+ --with-scriptdir=${prefix}/scripts \
+ --with-plugindir=${prefix}/plugins \
+ --libdir=${prefix}/lib \
+ --enable-smartalloc \
+ --enable-tray-monitor \
+ --enable-bat \
+ --with-mysql \
+ --with-dump-email=${email} \
+ --with-job-email=${email} \
+ --with-smtp-host=localhost \
+ --with-baseport=9101
+
+Obviously, the email, and some of the minor options (mysql, postgresql,
+...) can be changed to suit your distribution, but the directory names
+defined above are strongly recommended, and over time the default values in
+the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf will reflect these choices.
+
+If you have any questions about this or would like a detailed document
+describing our recommendations including packaging requirements, please
+send an email to the bacula-devel list.
+
+6. Starting with Bacula version 3.0.0 up to Bacula 5.0.0, the shared
+libraries that Bacula uses by default are named xxx-1.0.0. Starting with
+Bacula 5.0.1, we are going to name the libraries using the Bacula version.
+So in Bacula 5.0.1, the libraries will be named xxx-5.0.1. With future
+versions, the last digit may or may not change when we distribute patch
+updates (i.e. the last digit of the version changes). This will depend on
+whether or not we have changed something in the library. Hopefully this
+new procedure will resolve some of the incompatibility problems between
+different versions of the shared objects.
+
+7. The default build option for bconsole is conio (my own little console
+routines). I did this because some years ago, readline was very difficult
+to maintain -- it and where it was found seemed to change on every release.
+This generated at the time a number of support problems. It seems to me
+that since then there have been very few problems with readline. As a
+consequence, I have no problem if you want to make bconsole with readline
+enabled. It will actually give some very nice new bconsole command
+completion functionality that Eric has written. Bottom line: feel free to
+use readline or not as you please.

+Bacula Version 5.0.0 has been released to Source Forge
+
+Release Numbering:
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to
+5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for
+several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing
+the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version
+and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided
+that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always
+be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always
+be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x.
+In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger
+than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project
+version is more advanced or has more features than the
+Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version
+is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010)
+will be version 4.0.0.
+
+Warning:
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+Please note the three Warnings below before doing any install or
+upgrade.
+
+
+Changes since 3.0.3a (the last Bacula Project release):
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes:
+1337 1351 1352 1354 1357 1361 1367 1369 1370 1373

+ - Add Pool File and Job retention periods (take precedence over Client)
+ - Many ACL improvements
+ - Level added to FD status Job entry
+ - Allow turning on/off Block Checksum per device
+ - Set Device Poll interval to 5 minutes -- previously did not poll
+ - Implement lock manager with bad order protection
+
+Compatibility:
+As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
+the same time, and on any given machine, you must run only one version
+of Bacula. This means that on the Director and Storage daemon machines,
+you *must* upgrade your File daemon as well.
+
+Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
+Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+Daemons immediately. However, we recommend that you do so as soon
+as is reasonable for your situation.
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+
+New Catalog format in version 5.0.0 (3.1.9 or later)
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
+scripts that permit to convert a 3.0.x (version 11) catalog to 5.0.0 (version
+12). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
+detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
+recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
+using rpms.
+
+The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
+source:
+1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
+2. Save a copy of your existing database.
+3. Configure, build, and install the 5.0.0 version of Bacula
+ Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
+ at the bottom of this file.
+4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
+5. ./update_bacula_tables
+6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
+ script and put the name of another database, and then
+ execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
+ catalogs have been updated.
+7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
+ not print any error messages.
+
+If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
+script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
+table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 3.1.9
+(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
+be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
+command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
+catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
+aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
+size.
+================================================================
+
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+If you upgrade a previous Win32 client installation, you must
+first stop the File daemon, then uninstall it before attempting
+the upgrade. If you do not do so, the upgrade will probably
+fail and you will need to manually find and run the
+Uninstall.exe file, before you can upgrade to the new version.
+This is because the file locations are different. If you want
+to save your previous bacula-fd.conf file, please do so before
+uninstalling it.
+================================================================
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+Due to permissions problems on Windows Vista and later systems,
+we no longer require SYSTEM or Administrator permissions to
+access the binaries and configuation files. If you wish
+to restrict access to these files, please see the New Features
+section of the manual for how to set access control lists.
+================================================================
+
+Note, the Win32 Installer no longer installs the Bacula Servers
+(Director and Storage daemon). See the New Features section of
+the manual for more details.
+
+============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
+
+Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation has a number of known problems:
+
+1. We have reduced the number of manuals, which has fixed many
+ of the broken links found in the old 3.0.x version, but there
+ are still some that need fixing.
+
+2. Integration of the 3.0.x features into the main manuals has
+ not yet been done.
+
+The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
+manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
+you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.
+=====
+
+
+This release includes large number of new features and changes.
+It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
+and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
+features.
+
+Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
+some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):

+Bacula Version 3.0.1 has been released to Source Forge.
+
+Note, if you are not already running 3.0.0, please read the 3.0.0 release notes. Important!!!
+
+Version 3.0.1 is primarily a minor bug fix update to version 3.0.0 with
+one enhancement (see below).
+
+Changes since 3.0.0:
+Bug fixes:
+ 1276, 1274, 1275, 1272 1246, 1268, 1281, 1282.
+
+Fixed:
+- Check for job_canceled() in fd_plugin code.
+- Update Win32 table creation to have new DB version 11 format
+- Remove illegal Options in Exclude of default Win32/64 bacula-dir.conf
+- Remove 'Reposition' messages when restoring
+- Updated projects file
+- Tweak version string to display versionid field at the end
+ and keep fields order.
+ - Add additional mysql connection debug code submitted by:
+ Chandranshu <chandranshu@gmail.com>
+
+Enhancement:
+- Modify insertion of read Volumes in SD to be done *before* the
+ drive reservation. This ensures that a Volume to be read will not
+ be reserved for writing. Significant improvement in eliminating
+ tape deadlock situations.
+
+Note, both the Director and Storage daemons must be upgraded at the
+same time. The 3.0.1 File daemons are compatible with 3.0.0 file
+daemons and as noted below in the 3.0.0 release notes the Director
+and Storage daemon should be compatible with 2.4.x File daemons.
+In general, we do not expect any of the 3.0.x File daemons to work with older
+Directors and Storage daemons (as has always been the case for Bacula
+releases).
+
+============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
+
+Note!!!!! The 3.0.0+ documentation needs rather extensive modifications in the
+following areas:
+
+1. Missing documentation.
+2. Correction of links within various manuals -- most fail.
+3. Integration of the new features into the main documents.
+4. Much more.
+
+The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
+manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
+you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.

+Bacula Version 3.0.0 has been released to Source Forge.
+
+This is to inform you that we have uploaded the Bacula version 3.0.0 source
+tar files and the Win32/64 installer files to the Bacula Source Forge
+download location.
+
+There are quite a number of new features in this release, and upgrading to it
+requires a database upgrade, so please read the release notes carefully
+(included below) and the documentation for the new features at:
+
+http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
+
+There is still a good deal of work to do to finish the release process (mainly
+reorganizing the web site manuals ...), but at least the source files are
+released. The rpms should follow shortly (probably this weekend).
+
+If you are currently using 2.4.4, please note that within a few months that
+version will no longer be supported, so please consider the possibility of
+upgrading.
+
+This release probably has the most new features that we have ever released,
+and it has taken a long time to produce it. The basic code is very well
+tested, and if you stick to 2.4.4 features, you are unlikely to experience
+problems. However, many of the new features have not been well tested, so
+your help will be appreciated.
+
+The following issues with 3.0.0 are known and we are working on them:
+
+1. The documentation is not 100% complete (there are so many new features that
+we missed documenting some).
+
+2. All the new documentation is in the New Features chapter, but not all of it
+has yet been integrated back into the appropriate chapters.
+
+3. James has reported that the Exchange plugin may crash if you cancel a job
+while it is running. He is working on this.
+
+4. The SD has many new features that will make it more stable. One in
+particular is that it knows what Volumes will be read during a migration,
+copy, or Virtual backup job, and will ensure that they are not selected for
+writing (something easy to do if you are using disk files and the same pool
+for reading an writing). However, the day after the release was cut, I found
+a problem with this code that prevents it from working properly during
+certain pre-allocations of the write tape.
+
+5. There is still an outstanding bug report on VSS failing (it seems to be a
+bit of a rare case).
+
+As I previously announced, we will now make 3.0.0 our main release source code
+stream, and we hope to release new version every six months and bug fix
+updates even sooner. To be able to do this, we will support version 2.4.4
+only for a few more months. There after the project will only support the
+most current release ...
+
+This release comprises a lot of work by a lot of different people and many
+contributions. Normally I hesitate to mention particular people or
+contributions because I always forget someone, but since this was such a big
+release, I would like to mention at least the big contributions:

+ Release Notes for Bacula 3.0.0
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 205,459 (*.h *.c *.in)
+
+The diff between 2.4.4 and 2.5.x is 208,340 lines, so this release
+represents an enormous effort.
+
+This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
+but they should be compatible with all 2.4.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 when you upgrade. However, any
+release of version 2.5.40 or greater requires a database upgrade.
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+
+New Catalog format in version 3.0.0 (2.5.40 or later)
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
+scripts that permit to convert a 2.4.x (version 10) catalog to 3.0.0 (version
+11). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
+detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
+recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
+using rpms.
+
+The simplest way to upgrad the database assuming you are building from
+source:
+1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
+2. Save a copy of your existing database.
+3. Configure, build, and install the 3.0.0 version of Bacula
+ Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
+ at the bottom of this file.
+4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
+5. ./update_bacula_tables
+6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
+ script and put the name of another database, and then
+ execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
+ catalogs have been updated.
+7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
+ not print any error messages.
+
+The upgrade operation will convert the FileId index field of the File table
+from 32 bits to 64 bits. This operation will take TIME and will *temporarily*
+DOUBLE THE SIZE of your catalog. Bacula must be shutdown during this update,
+so, won't be able to run jobs during this period. For example, a 3 million
+files
+catalog will take 2 mins to upgrade on a normal machine. Don't forget to
+backup it before executing the script.
+
+If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
+script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
+table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 2.5.40
+(e.g. 2.4.4) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
+be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
+command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
+catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
+aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
+size.
+
+
+Important New configure options :
+----------------------
+
+This release of Bacula 3.0.0 uses libtool by default
+to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
+being directly linked in as in prior versions. This means that
+the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object
+directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
+where the Bacula binaries are installed. It is also possible
+to explicitly specify the libraries directory on the ./configure
+line (--libdir=/full-path/dir), but this should not be necessary.
+
+ ./configure --libdir=<full-path>
+
+If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old
+way of building libraries and linking them into Bacula, you
+can do so by disabling libtool on the configure command line with:
+
+ ./configure --disable-libtool
+
+During the installation of Bacula 3.0.0, it will now install
+bat help files (if you have configured bat). These files
+are placed in /usr/share/doc/bacula/html by default. If you
+want to put them elsewhere use:
+
+ ./configure --htmldir=<full-path>
+
+During the installation of Bacula, it will now install the
+ReleaseNotes, License, technotes, ChangeLog, and similar
+files in /usr/share/doc/bacula by default. If you
+want to put them elsewhere use:
+
+ ./configure --docdir=<full-path>
+
+During the installation of Bacula, any plugins will be
+installed in the plugindir, which is by default the
+same as libdir (/usr/lib). You can specify an alternate
+location with:
+
+ ./configure --with-plugindir=<full-path>
+
+==============================================================
+
+This release includes large number of new features and changes.
+It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
+and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
+features.
+
+Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
+some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
+
+http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html

+Critical 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch released
+We recently found and corrected a serious bug in Bacula that causes jobs to be
+orphaned or "stuck" in the director during the pruning process. Depending on
+what jobs get stuck and how many there are, it could prevent additional jobs
+from running. As best we can tell, this problem occurs only during what could
+be called extreme pruning conditions -- i.e. there are insufficient Volumes
+available for normal operations.
+
+In any case, we recommend that everyone apply the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch,
+which you can find in the bacula-patches section of the Source Forge download
+area as well as in the directory patches of both the trunk and Branch-2.4 SVN.

+Dear Members of the Bacula Community,
+
+I'm pleased to announce the creation of Bacula Systems S.A., a new company to
+provide professional support and service for Bacula. I believe you will be
+pleased to see how we have married a strong commitment to the ethos of honest
+open source software with the availability of services desired by a wide
+range of Bacula users.
+
+As many of you know, I began work on Bacula in 2000 and released the first
+public version in April 2002 to Source Forge. Although I have personally
+written a very substantial part of the code, I offer sincere thanks to the
+many members of the community who have provided ideas, fixes, testing, and
+contributions of code, without which Bacula would not be what it is today.
+It has been a labor of love and I am pleased that so many people have found
+Bacula useful.
+
+Before telling you more about Bacula Systems, let me reiterate my unfaltering,
+ongoing commitment to open source software and the Bacula open source
+project. The code for Bacula and all future releases will remain available as
+free open source software under the GPL license that I transferred to the
+protection of the Free Software Foundation of Europe. Unlike some other open
+source projects, there will be no separate "enterprise" or proprietary
+version of the Bacula source code. www.bacula.org will continue to be the
+home for Bacula project development.
+
+So, why create Bacula Systems? The company was created to respond to requests
+from users who want professional support with guaranteed levels of service
+and response times. To ensure continuity and the highest level of knowledge
+transfer, I will take the position of Chairman of the Board and Chief
+Technical Officer of Bacula Systems S.A..
+
+Several members of the Bacula community have joined me to start the company.
+The other team members are also strongly dedicated to the spirit of keeping
+Bacula open and free while simultaneously offering commercial services to
+those for whom it is essential in making the decision to deploy Bacula.
+Bacula Systems is self-financed -- the initial capital comes from the
+founders; no outside venture capital was sought or accepted. This means we
+have the power to establish the company's priorities and we can remain
+dedicated to "honest open source". Bacula Systems S.A. is a Swiss company
+with offices in Yverdon-les-Bains, and with branches in France and Germany
+initially. We will open additional branches as business requires.
+
+I will continue to support development of Bacula via bacula.org and the Bacula
+community. Future developments will be in the "community" code base which
+will remain free. Bacula Systems will offer "funded development" to
+customers who wish to accelerate the addition of certain features to Bacula.
+Code developed this way will be contributed to the free distribution and will
+be available to the entire community at no charge. Bacula Systems will
+provide additional fee-based services, including high quality consulting,
+training, documentation and certified binaries.
+
+Our goal in establishing Bacula Systems is to be inclusive of the community,
+and expand it by creating opportunities for members of the Bacula community
+through a well-defined Partner Program. If you provide IT services or
+consulting, the Bacula Systems Partner Program can provide you with the
+additional back-up (pardon the pun) support you need to serve your customers
+more effectively.
+
+Our plan is to develop an international network of partners who offer high
+value added services to Bacula users -- installing, configuring and optimizing
+Bacula for their customers, as well as Level 3 and 4 support, with guaranteed
+service levels. We will also provide training and tools to our partners.
+
+The Bacula project website, www.bacula.org, and Source Forge will be unchanged
+in the mission and ideals of being free sources of information, mail lists
+and forum-based support for and by the community. Both Bacula source code and
+Bacula binaries will continue to be available for free, as in the past, and
+new releases will also be available for free. The new commercial website,
+www.baculasystems.com will provide information on commercial subscriptions
+for those users who want guaranteed levels of service, support, documentation
+and certified binaries.
+
+All members of the Bacula community are encouraged to register for free at
+www.baculasystems.com, so that you will receive announcements and news about
+our commercial activities, and so that you can send feedback to our new
+company, Bacula Systems.
+
+Thank you for your interest and participation in the Bacula community.
+
+Sincerely,
+
+Kern Sibbald

+Bacula version 2.4.3 Released
+This is to let you know that the source tar files and the Win32 binaries for
+Bacula version 2.4.3 have been released to the Bacula Source Forge download
+area.
+
+Release 2.4.3
+ This is a bug fix to version 2.4.2. All daemons are compatible
+ with other 2.4.x versions.
+
+Bugs Fixed:
+ 1159, 1162. 1149, 1128, 1143, 1140, 1129
+
+Change Summary:
+- Apply 2.4.2-cancel-non-running-jobs.patch to be able to cancel
+ a non created job faster.
+- This should correct bug #1159 where Migration does not properly
+ respect the Migration Low Bytes directive.
+- Fix typo in configure.in that breaks --with-db-password option
+- This code should fix the race condition that leads to a Director
+ crash at job end time when the job list is updated. This was reported
+ in bug #1162.
+- Remove all double quotes from SQLite creating script and
+ replace by single quotes as suggested by John Huttley.
+- Fix SQL case problem that may cause the failure of DiskToCatalog
+ in bug #1149.
+- Copy missing storage name into edit buffer. As far as I can tell
+ this never caused a bug.

+ using default variables.

+- Attempt to fix bug #1128 InChanger flag cleared during Migration

+- Add more information to SD acquire.c INFO messages.

+ a garbage filename may be entered in the verification database. This
+ fixes bug #1143.
+- Add space after version before date in bat about dialog.
+- Fix seg fault in Dir during estimate command with no level value
+ given. This fixes bug #1140.
+- Add message to migration job when the target job is already migrated.

+end of the year.
