+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.30
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 235 Total lines = 67,287 (*.h *.c *.in)
+
+Major Changes this Release:
+- Support for SHA1 signatures in addition to MD5 (more secure).
+- The btape "test" command is much more comprehensive and automatically
+ tries different options.
+- Implemented support for autochanger barcodes ("label barcodes",
+ "update slots").
+- Make Incremental and Differential saves backup all files changed as
+ well as all files moved into save path (added st_ctime to check).
+- Preliminary support for identifying cleaning tapes in autochangers.
+- Restores directory permissions and times correctly.
+- Hard linked files are restored even if only one of links is chosen.
+- Relabel Purged tapes with the relabel command.
+- Support for Win95 systems (I hope).
+- RunBeforeJob now checks the return status. If it is non-zero, the job
+ will be terminated in error.
+- The Windows Client now uses Cygwin 1.3.20 and should be
+ more reliable.
+- Implemented save/restore of chflags for FreeBSD systems.
+- Support for FreeBSD tape drives.
+- Lots more documentation.
+- Console "run" command now permits setting a start date/time.
+- There is a new "default" configuration file that permits saving and
+ restoring the Bacula source code immediately on installation. This
+ is documented in the "Running Bacula" chapter.
+- Finer contol of multiple simultaneous Jobs with specifications for
+ the Director as a whole (previous implementation), Jobs, Clients,
+ and Storage. Thus if you are careful, you can run multiple simultaneous
+ jobs and still have only one simultaneous Job per Volume.
+- Rpm spec files thanks to Scott Barninger.
+
+Other Changes this Release:
+- Tightened up file permissions (additional security) for all created
+ files.
+- Eliminated a lot of strcpy() to prevent possible buffer overruns.
+- Added "BSF at EOM = yes/no" for supporting FreeBSD tape drives.
+- The | and < options are now available for Excludes.
+- Multiple Directors in the GNOME Console now work (thanks Lutz Kttler).
+- Gnome console runs on GNOME 2.0 (haven't tried 2.2 yet).
+- Installation on Win32 systems with Cygwin is now supported.
+- GNOME Console has font support thanks to Phil Stracchino.
+- Solaris 2.6 now supported.
+- Support for Darwin (at least partially)
+- Support connection to MySQL on address:port.
+- Partial support for AIX systems (see README.AIX)
+- Cycle through tapes with "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" (dangerous).
+- Console program now supported on Win32 systems as well as
+ several other utility programs.
+- Full vertical listing of most catalog records (llist command).
+- Correct backwards path separators on Win32 systems to
+ prevent creating files names with mixed conventions.
+- Print IP address on failed connections to servers.
+- Cancel command works much better (cancels waiting jobs in Dir
+ and in SD).
+- Now have reasonable (but still small) regression script.
+- New Console commands for aiding scripting (@input, @output, @tee,
+ @time, @version and wait).
+- logrotate script in scripts/logrotate
+- Prevent configuring subsys directory to be the same as sbindir.
+- New Cleaning Prefix record in Pool for defining autochanger cleaning
+ tapes.
+
+Items to note:
+- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ On WinXP systems, and possibly Win2K, Bacula runs under the
+ LocalSystem account, so all files that are restored are created with
+ that account. I have spent an enormous amount of time trying to
+ resolve this but have not yet succeeded. I have included chown
+ in the binary release but it will probably not work without a
+ full cygwin installation. You might also try the CACLS program,
+ but you will probably need to boot into safemode (F8 during boot)
+ to get sufficient permissions. It is also possible to run
+ Bacula under your userid, but the system tray icon will not
+ be present -- however, this option permits saving and restoring
+ files with your userid.
+ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+- Version 1.29 File daemons can be used with version 1.30. However,
+ there may be an incompatibility if you use Exclude lists.
+- RunBeforeJob now checks the return status. If it is non-zero, the job
+ will be terminated in error.
+- If you have an autochanger with barcodes and you wish to use cleaning
+ tapes and you are using MySQL, you must run:
+ <bacula-source>/src/cats/alter_mysql_tables
+ this script will add one additional VolStatus (Cleaning).
