+released Bacula version 5.0.0.
\section{Truncate volume after purge}
\label{sec:actiononpurge}
Jobs on any other available compatible drive. This facilitates writing to
multiple drives with multiple Jobs that all use the same Pool.
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems.

+\item {\bf p} compare the permission bits
+\item {\bf n} compare the number of links
+\item {\bf u} compare the user id
+\item {\bf g} compare the group id
+\item {\bf s} compare the size

\textbf{Important note:} If you decide to use checksum in Accurate jobs,
deduplication. By default, Bacula will check modification/creation time
and size.
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems.
+
\section{Tab-completion for Bconsole}
\label{sec:tabcompletion}
The new bconsole won't be able to tab-complete with older directors.
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems.
+
+\section{Pool File and Job retention}
+\label{sec:poolfilejobretention}
+
+% TODO check
+We added two new Pool directives, \texttt{FileRetention} and
+\texttt{JobRetention}, that take precedence over Client directives of the same
+name. It allows you to control the Catalog pruning algorithm Pool by Pool. For
+example, you can decide to increase Retention times for Archive or OffSite Pool.
+
+\section{Read-only File Daemon using capabilities}
+\label{sec:fdreadonly}
+This feature implements support of keeping \textbf{ReadAll} capabilities after
+UID/GID switch, this allows FD to keep root read but drop write permission.
+
+It introduces new \texttt{bacula-fd} option (\texttt{-k}) specifying that
+\textbf{ReadAll} capabilities should be kept after UID/GID switch.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+root@localhost:~# bacula-fd -k -u nobody -g nobody
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The code for this feature was contributed by AltLinux.
+
\section{Bvfs API}
\label{sec:bvfs}
* .bvfs_lsdir path=/ jobid=1,2
\end{verbatim}
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems.
+
\section{Testing your Tape Drive}
\label{sec:btapespeed}
\section{New Bat Features}
+Those new features were funded by Bacula Systems.
+
\subsection{Media List View}
By clicking on ``Media'', you can see the list of all your volumes. You will be
\label{fig:achcontent}
\end{figure}
-\section{Console Timeout Option}
-You can now use the -u option of bconsole to set a timeout for each command.
+To use this feature, you need to use the latest mtx-changer script
+version. (With new \texttt{listall} and \texttt{transfer} commands)
+
+\section{Bat on Windows}
+We have ported {\bf bat} to Windows and it is now installed
+by default when the installer is run. It works quite well
+on Win32, but has not had a lot of testing there, so your
+feedback would be welcome. Unfortunately, eventhough it is
+installed by default, it does not yet work on 64 bit Windows
+operating systems.
+
+\section{New Win32 Installer}
+The Win32 installer has been modified in several very important
+ways.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item You must deinstall any current version of the
+Win32 File daemon before upgrading to the new one.
+If you forget to do so, the new installation will fail.
+To correct this failure, you must manually shutdown
+and deinstall the old File daemon.
+\item All files (other than menu links) are installed
+in {\bf c:/Program Files/Bacula}.
+\item The installer no longer sets this
+file to require administrator privileges by default. If you want
+to do so, please do it manually using the {\bf cacls} program.
+For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+cacls "C:\Program Files\Bacula" /T /G SYSTEM:F Administrators:F
+\end{verbatim}
+\item The server daemons (Director and Storage daemon) are
+no longer included in the Windows installer. If you want the
+Windows servers, you will either need to build them yourself (note
+they have not been ported to 64 bits), or you can contact
+Bacula Systems about this.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Win64 Installer}
+We have corrected a number of problems that required manual
+editing of the conf files. In most cases, it should now
+install and work. {\bf bat} is by default installed (you can
+turn it off in a dialog), but it does not work on 64 bit
+Windows OSes yet.
+
+\section{Bare Metal Recovery USB Key}
+We have made a number of significant improvements in the
+Bare Metal Recovery USB key. Please see the README files
+it the {\bf rescue} release for more details.
+
+
+
+\section{bconsole Timeout Option}
+You can now use the -u option of {\bf bconsole} to set a timeout in seconds
+for commands. This is useful with GUI programs that use {\bf bconsole}
+to interface to the Director.
+
+\section{Important Changes}
+\label{sec:importantchanges}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item You are now allowed to Migrate, Copy, and Virtual Full to read and write
+ to the same Pool. The Storage daemon ensures that you do not read and
+ write to the same Volume.
+\item The \texttt{Device Poll Interval} is now 5 minutes. (previously did not
+ poll by default).
+\item The new \texttt{mtx-changer} script has two new options, \texttt{listall}
+ and \texttt{transfer}. Be sure to apply any custom changes on to the
+ mtx-changer script, or better yet, use mtx-changer.conf to configure
+ them.
+\item To enhance security of the \texttt{BackupCatalog} job, we provide a new
+ script (\texttt{make\_catalog\_backup.pl}) that does not expose your catalog
+ password. If you want to use the new script, you will need to
+ manually change the \texttt{BackupCatalog} Job definition.
+\item The \texttt{bconsole} \texttt{help} command now accepts
+ an argument, which if provided produces information on that
+ command (ex: \texttt{help run}).
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Custom Catalog queries}
+
+If you wish to add specialized commands that list the contents of the catalog,
+you can do so by adding them to the \texttt{query.sql} file. This
+\texttt{query.sql} file is now empty by default. The file
+\texttt{examples/sample-query.sql} has an a number of sample commands
+you might find useful.
+
+\subsection{Deprecated parts}
+
+The following items have been \textbf{deprecated} for a long time, and are now
+removed from the code.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Gnome console
+\item Support for SQLite 2
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Misc Changes}
+\label{sec:miscchanges}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Updated Nagios check\_bacula
+\item Updated man files
+\item Added OSX package generation script in platforms/darwin
+\item Added Spanish and Ukrainian Bacula translations
+\item Enable/disable command shows only Jobs that can change
+\item Added \texttt{show disabled} command to show disabled Jobs
+\item Many ACL improvements
+\item Added Level to FD status Job output
+\item Begin Ingres DB driver (not yet working)
+\item Split RedHat spec files into bacula, bat, mtx, and docs
+\item Reorganized the manuals (fewer separate manuals)
+\item Added lock/unlock order protection in lock manager
+\item Allow 64 bit sizes for a number of variables
+\item Fixed several deadlocks or potential race conditions in the SD
+\end{itemize}
+

+number of bugs found in version 3.0.2 during the onging development
+process.
