In other words, you should +not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is +no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version +2.2.x to version 2.4.0 -Changes for 1.35.5 -Major Changes: -- Tray monitor program -- Bacula Rescue CDROM -- Bacula CD Image Manager -- Lots of improvements in the Rescue scripts -- better - network detection, better mounting code, ... -- General bug fixes/stabilization -- French translation of manual by Ludovic Strappazon well - underway. -- UTF-8 is supported in conio (some minor cleanup is needed). -- Improved conf scanning code allowing FileSet components to - be put on a single line (previously everything had to be on - a different line). -- Win32 files restored to an alternate directory will have the - colon following the drive letter turned into a / e.g. c: - becomes c/. Previously the c: was stripped. This applies only - to files written to an alternate directory (i.e. using a where=). +================== Warning !!!!!! ========================== +As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into +any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the +specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of +FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will +be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want +reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them +in your FileSet. +============================================================== -New Directives: -- Added "Ignore FileSet Changes = yes" -- Added "Block positioning = yes/no" in Device resource in SD. -- Added "Multiple connections = yes/no" in Catalog record for - allowing multiple simultaneous connections to the database. - This is a major performance improvement for PostgreSQL. +This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x +but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the +Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten +code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly +with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That +said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note, +the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations. -Items to note!!! -- As of 1.35.5 you MUST do a database update. -- All daemons should be compatible with 1.34 with the exception - of the new FileSet features such as regular expressions. -- Regular expressions are not implemented in the Win32 FD. +Bugs fixed: + 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038 + 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031 -Other Items: -- See below +New features: +- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use + --without-qwt as a ./configure option. -Changes to 1.35.5: -22Sep04 -- Incremented the release number because this version requires - an update to the database. - Use: - cd src/cats - ./update_bacula_tables - to update an existing database. -- Implemented EndFile and EndBlock in the Media record. This will - allow Bacula to know exactly when to stop reading a tape if the - stupid tape driver does not give a logical end of tape indication - and Bacula writes to the end of the tape getting an I/O error. -- Added new routines to update the database, and there are - new database creation routines to add the two new Media columns. -- The Media record is updated each time a JobMedia record is created. - This keeps the Media record up to date. -- Undid the code to use automatic type converions to char * in - POOL_MEM. This is due to the ugly consequences of essentially - destroying the class type nature of the class. -- Removed all the old mp_char() #define code. +Release Version 2.4.0 +- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes. +- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume. + This fixes bug #1095. +- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should + fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro. +- Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug + #1086. +- Fix possible seg fault if SQL error. +- Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name. +- If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and + try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went + wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously + this error was fatal, now it produces an error message. +- Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore +- Fix a few more Coverity reported problems. +- Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command. +- Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race + conditions. +- Make sure device not busy before doing label command. +- Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too + many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070. +- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any + reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the + directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as + with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be + backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files. + This fixes bug #1041. +- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes). +- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity. +- Implement --without-qwt +- Fix layout of restore tree dialog +- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built + with or without the QWT libaries. +- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume + from one drive to another. +- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions. +- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives. + This fixes bug #1083. +- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from + the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially, + bug #1083. +- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD. + This fixes bug #1078. +- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a + warning rather than an error. +- Fix SQL query in migration code +- Fix bat seg fault at termination. +- Add Bacula generated version to bat about box. +- Backport development stream SD reservation system changes. +- When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger. +- Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the + same volume name twice in a row. +- Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make + the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically + handling the responsibilities. +- Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just + causes a seg fault in many cases. +- Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and + swapping volumes. +- Prevent volume from being released while being swapped. +- Refactor parts of stored/mount.c +- Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime +- Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime + and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066 +- Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c +- Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to + autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code. +- Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job. +- Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking + the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by + another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it. +- Correct some SD catalog request error messages. +- Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD + when reading past an EOS_LABEL. +- Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just + causes problems. +- Lock volumes when unreserving a device. +- Do not mark volume unused when recycling. +- Fix bug #1068 fixes a SD crash when using Virtual autochanger. +- Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when + running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo + for excellent analysis and testing. +- *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9 + Mostly SD reservations enhancements. +- Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination + of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038. +- Fixes a StorageId problem with volumes after migration. +- Implements autostart scripts for Debian +- Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program. +- Apply doc fix from bug #1062. +- Resolve crash and improper restore wx-console Win32 restore + GUI. Fixes bug #1065. +- Update Win32 wxWidgets to latest version. +- Attempt to do correct handling of Win32 mount points. Should + fix bug #1046. +- Add const to AIX prototype for initgroups() +- Fix to the JobMedia patch, which introduced a new problem. +- Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include + proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs. +- Fix bug #1047, do not strip paths on symbolic links. +- Set catalog backup database and user name from values specified on + the ./configure line. +- Apply patch to correct bug #1031, about wrong pool source information + in job report. -Changes to 1.35.4: -22Sep04 -- Add additional doc. -- Implement automatic POOL_MEM type conversion to char *. Thanks - to Martin Simmons for the suggestion. -- Remove some unneeded function overloading -- need removed by - automatic type conversion. -21Sep04 -- Correct segfault in message.c with debug=200 (new code). -- Fix bug 109 verify with no options prints garbage. -- Add ioctl(MTIOCGET) call to clrerror_dev() in dev.c. As reported - by Frank Kardel, this should clear error conditions on NetBSD. -20Sep04 -- Modify the rescue script to create mount_drives with - the order specified by Philip Nash (mkdir, mount). -- Tweak install chapter of French manual to add new paragraph - from English. -- Tweak restore tree message to be a bit clearer. -- Modify watchdog to wakeup after 60 seconds, or wakeup if - there is work to do. -- Modify watchdog stop routine to "ping" watchdog so that it - stops immediately rather than after sleep time. -- Fix btape to use new dcr blocks rather than its own. -- Fix butil.c to correctly handle Volume names for the - utility routines (broke when updating to dcrs). -11-19Sep04 (vacation) -- Implement multiple Storage specifications in the Job resource - (AND) each containing multiple specifications (OR). Not yet functional. - Note, this needs more work as most things now use - job->storage[0]->first() rather than looping through devices. -- Implement "Multiple connections = yes/no" in Catalog record for - allowing multiple simultaneous connections to the database. -- Add new mac.c (Migrate, Archive, Copy) to dird -- not yet implemented. -- Implement a new POOL_MEM class that automatically allocates - and deallocates a pool buffer. -- Overload a number of utility routines to permit using both - POOLMEM and POOL_MEM. -- Start converting to using POOL_MEM. -- There were a number of Bacula console ACL checks missing in - ua_run.c. It allowed users to run jobs they really should not. -- Correct a number of dates on the Copyright. -- Overload pm_strcpy() and pm_strcat() to handle new POOL_MEM - class. -- Overload bash/unbash_spaces to handle new POOL_MEM class. -- Make a *MASSIVE* pass through the Storage daemon eliminating - all use of jcr->VolumeName and jcr->VolCatInfo in favor of - dcr->... -- Eliminate all all redundant arguments from calling sequences - in SD. This poses a number of problems due to the old way blocks - and records were allocated and released all the time. They are - now contained in the dcr. The problem is that old habits die hard - and there are still places where everything is not right. -- Implement "Block positioning = yes/no" in Device resource in SD. -Changes to 1.35.3: -09Sep04 -- Add "Multiple Connections = yes/no" in catalog record. Only - the variable is implemented, no code yet. -- Close *all* FD unless debug on. -08Sep04 -- Add first cut of UTF-8 support to conio. It "seems" to be working - pretty well. Moving by words will definitely not work though. -- Improve detection and setting of gateway in the - network_start script. -07Sep04 -- Modify scan code so that in most places scanning will - continue across the end of a line. -05Sep04 -- Begin major phase of 1.35 documentation. -- All outstanding bugs are fixed. -- Implement changes and improvements to rescue scripts as - proposed by Gaurav. -05Sep04 -- Add correction to Phil's previous patch. -- Send all queued messages in SD and FD prior to closing down - the job. -- Send queued messages in Jobs before terminating the job - so that the messages print before the job report. -- Add a destructor so that the Console ACLs are properly - freed. -04Sep04 -- Implement isolinux boot disk. -- Integrate Phil Stracchino's code (thanks for Matt's help). - It permits lists and ranges of jobids on the delete as in: - delete job jobid=1,3,5,11-16 -03Sep04 -- Apply Mike Acar's suggestion when looking for the next volume - to check purged volumes for recycling before doing a purge. -- Make some improvements to CDROM disk. -- Take another crack at ignoring drive open() errors during - polling. -02Sep04 -- Add eliminate orphaned job records; eliminate admin records, - and eliminate restore records to dbcheck. -- replace sprintf by bsnprintf() in dbcheck. -- Added scan target to makefile in rescue cd to print scsi - devices. -- Added argument to berrno::strerror() to pass errno. -- Cleaned up a few more old strerror() calls and eliminated a - few of the now unnecessary set_errno() calls. -- Fixed a bug in the polling code that prevented more than 100 - label reads (insanity check disabled if polling). -- Ignore bad return from open_device() if polling. -- Short circuit code if fatal error return from read_label() in - mount.c -01Sep04 -- Add index file to JobId field of File records for PostgreSQL. -- Correct several bugs in the job queue scheduler concerning - rescheduled jobs: 1. The SD status was not cleared causing a - wrong status to be displayed by Dir after rescheduling. 2. All - rescheduled jobs became zombies because the jcr use_count was - not decremented properly. -- Make the Catalog resource required in Client records. -- Order the listing of where a file is (item 2 on the restore - menu) by StartTime. -- Clarify when a filename only and a full path + filename must - be entered in items 2 and 8 of the restore menu. -- Fix logic error in resolution of names on IPv4 systems. +========================================================================= -Changes to 1.35.2 released 01Sep04: -30Aug04 -- Inhibit printing of FileSet for a restore as it is misleading. -- Cleaned up a number of minor scripting problems with the CDROM - creation. -- Fixed a race condition causing a Director crash on termination, - if a large number of SIGHUPs were sent during a multiple concurrent - set of backups. -28Aug04 -- Completed integration of Rescue CD scripts with Bacula source. -28Aug04 -- Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes -- Added more error checking to the spooling code. -24Aug04 -- Applied a patch from Peter Eriksson that removes a dynamic stack - allocation (replaced by alloca) and fixes some const problems. -- Fixed a free() of a static variable in the new IP code bnet.c -- Got the new Bacula Rescue CDROM booting. -- Replaced a dynamic template by a simple store when using the - native C compiler. -- Reworked some of the block.c error handling. -- Changed a Dmsgx(000, to Dmsgx(100 in dev.c that was dumping - debug output on a user. -- Integrated patch from 1.34.6 block.c to 1.35 -17Aug04 -- Fix conio.c problem on Solaris. -- Add debug code to lock_jcr_chain(). -- Lock jcr chain around less code. -- Implement call by reference for Mmsg() and pm_strxxx() to - simplify calls. -- New IP address specification is used as follows: - [sdaddresses|diraddresses|fdaddresses] = { [[ip|ipv4|ipv6] = { - [[addr|port] = [^ ]+[\n;]+] }] } +Version 2.2.8 is a bug fix to version 2.2.7: +- It fixes bugs: 1036, 1033(doc), 1028, 1040, 1045(doc), 1030, + 1042(partially), and possibly bugs 1018 and 1032. + Bugs 1018 and 1032 involve problems with multiple-drive autochangers, + and are difficult to reproduce. + See the ChangeLog for more details. - so it could look for example like this: - SDaddresses = { ip = { - addr = 1.2.3.4; port = 1205; } - ipv4 = { - addr = 1.2.3.4; port = http; } - ipv6 = { - addr = 1.2.3.4; - port = 1205; - } - ip = { - addr = 1.2.3.4 - port = 1205 - } - ip = { - addr = 1.2.3.4 - } - ip = { - addr = 2001:220:222::2 - } - ip = { - addr = bluedot.thun.net - } - } - as a consequence, you can now specify multiple IP addresses and - ports to be used. In the case of a server, it will listen on - all those that you specify. In the case of connecting to the server, - Bacula will attempt connecting to one at a time until it succeeds. - And, in a few other special cases, Bacula will use only the first - address specified. +Version 2.2.7 has several new features and several important bug fixes + since version 2.2.6: +- It fixes bugs: 1009, 1022, 1024, 1019, 1012, 1021, 1020 + 1007, 1008. For more details, please see the technotes-2.1 file. +- Fixed a seg fault reported by Frank Sweetser that depended on + exact path lengths, but the problem was in bsnprintf.c +- Double quoting include filenames (@xxx) in Bacula conf files is now + possible, thanks to a patch by Michael Stapelberg. +- You can pipe input to include filenames (@|prog) by using a vertical + bar, thanks to the above patch. +- A daylight savings time bug in the Win32 bsmpt was fixed by a patch from + Nerijus Baliunas. +- Marc Cousins submitted a patch that permits building the PostgreSQL + driver with version 8.3. +- The configure option --archivedir has been changed to --with-archivedir - The default port numbers are still the same and the services and hosts - are also resolved by name. So now you could use the real names for the - port numbers. +Version 2.2.6 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.5 +- It fixes bugs: #1003, 942, 982, 990(response only), 991, + 993, 986, 976. +- Fix bat crash wen it cannot connect to Director. +- Fix joblist failure bug in bat. -Release 1.35.1 16 August 2004: -- Added Tape Alert feature (see Alert Command). -- New IPv6 code (untested) -- New way of specifying Addresses and Ports -- permits having - server listen on multiple ports. -- Regular expressions in Options directive. -- Reader/writer programs in Options (not yet fully implemented, - please do not use). -- Fixed specification of bind address on Win32 (thanks to - Martin Simmons). -- Update all Volumes from Pool record. -- Update License to terminate rights of anyone suing a GPL licensor. -- Improved error messages for Win32 and when running external - programs (e.g. RunBeforeJob). -- Implement reload of conf file in Directory on SIGHUP. -- Building restore tree is much faster on large filesets - due to binary insert. -- Alert Command in Device resource of Storage Daemon. -- New IP address and port directives. -- reader = xxx, writer = yyy in Options within FileSet of - Director's conf file. -- regex = xxx in Options within FileSet of Director's - conf file. -- New command options: update AllFromPool updates all - Volumes with Pool defaults. -- .backups client=xxx (for GUI programs). -- A duration specification may have any number of integer/modificator - specifications. E.g.: - 1 week 2 days 3 hours 10 mins - 1 month 2 days 30 sec -- Print error message if Alert Command fails in bpipe_open(). -- Doc Alert command. -- Eliminate unnecessary class in findlib/attribs.c -- Add necessary empty files to new tray-monitor directory. -- Implement Class with template in findlib/attribs.c to do casting - of uint64_t into stat packet types to avoid compiler warnings. - Thanks to Meno for this idea. -- Make some modifications to satisfy VC++. -- Apply Martin Simmons' second patch to compat.cpp to fix the line - I previously missed. -- Apply Meno's fix to bnet that corrects use of ipaddr after free_addresses, - back out my kludges, and it works. -- Modified configure.in to by default add -Wall. -- Found some problems with printing IP addresses -- will notify Meno. -- Added printing Pool to Job report. -- Fixed several places where dlists were not being released - (term_job_server, ...) -- Started implementing New() for dlists.

Thanks Peter. -- Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used - in the restore tree routines. -- Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which - are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit - behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*. +Version 2.2.4 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.3 +- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953. +- Possible fix for bug #908. +- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid + file to always be deleted. +- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property. + This fixes bug #950. +- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully + trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking. + Fixes bug #906. +- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This + should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices + are released as soon as possible. +- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not + have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point + in bug #942, but not the main problem. +- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes + by skipping |. Fixes bug #936. +- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using + TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU. +- Fix bug #946 about 'bacula-dir -t' which doesn't works + as expected. +- Using 'm' in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions + and not memory usage. + +- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor + program. + +Version 2.2.3 is a critical bug fix release to version 2.2.2 +- Fix bug #935, and possibly also bug #903 where files were not + restored. MediaId was not properly set in JobMedia record after + a Volume change. This bug is known to affect all versions from + 2.0.0 on, and probably versions prior to that. A detailed analysis + of the bug can be found at: + + http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-395.txt + +- Add ./configure search in qwt-qt4 for qwt package +- Apply Martin Simmons patch that should turn off the new API usage + when batch insert is turned off allowing building on older + PostgreSQLs. +- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor + program. + +Version 2.2.2 is a minor bug fix release to 2.2.1 +- Detect if new PosgreSQL batch insert API is present. +- Correct incorrect mempool call causing Director crash on older + systems that do not have va_copy(). +- Update spec files for 2.2.1 release + +Version 2.2.1 is mainly a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.0, + the main changes since 2.2.0 are: +- Fixed bugs #921, 930, and 923. +- More portable timezone offset in bsmtp thaks to Attila Fülöp. +- Fix several bat issues. +- Use GTK+ calls instead of egg files in tray-monitor. +- Win32 service routines rewritten +- Updated projects file +Please see the ChangeLog for details. + +Notes on 2.2.0 release follow: + +Areas requiring caution or testing: +- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded + to build with MySQL enabled. +- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause + your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions. +- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent + to what we do with sockets). +- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with + bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris. +- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'. + This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity + of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly. + The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h +- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please + test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse + points. +- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work. + +The major new features are: +- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times), + many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin. +- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build + bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you + must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt + (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools + must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley. +- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading). +- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files + thanks to Eric. +- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested). +- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces + swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent + implemented. +- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most + conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers. +- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system. +- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled. +- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric. +- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists. +- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir' +- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged, + during pruning, it is immediately discovered. +- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright + mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice. + +New ./configure options: +- --enable-bwx-console +- --enable-bat +- --with-qwt= +- --with-db-name= +- --with-db-user= +- --enable-batch-insert + +New bconsole commands: +- exec +- memory +- update recyclepool +- .sql +- .api +- .pwd (in restore tree) +- restoreclient (keyword) +- backupclient (keyword) +- regexwhere (keyword) +- update jobid (new command) +- recyclepool (keyword) + +New directives: +- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf) +- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage) +- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client) +- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool) +- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript) +- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet) +- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet) + +Other features or bug fixes: +- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907, + 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872 + 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859, + 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772, + 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791, + 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764, + 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743. +- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with + --with-qwt=. See Installation chapter of manual for details. +- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are + needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both + these packages in the distro. +- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead + of prepending. +- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the + Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount + directives are defined. +- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries. +- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor. + Use the command line or the Services panne. +- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool. +- More debug output in status storage. +- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some + critical columns were lost). +- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems, + which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which + should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly + (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but + concurrent jobs should run much faster. +- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of + the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers. +- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume, + pool and media type when a job is waiting. +- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers. +- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c +- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request) +- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request) +- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId +- Spooling implemented for migration jobs. +- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading | + in front of the configuration path/filename. +- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's + memory usage, and an in use buffer dump. +- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32 + filename restrictions. +- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug. +- Additional version information added to Job reports. +- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type. +- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there + is already a < in the target. +- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being + mounted by another job. +- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11 +- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted. +- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command. +- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape. +- Drop from root done before database is opened. +- Database user and name can be configured with: + --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user +- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script. +- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script. + This appears to have been an unreported bug. +- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust +- Better restricted console ACL checking. +- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that + users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection. +- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running + job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned). +- Sockets are no longer restored. +- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster. +- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite + large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries. +- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed. +- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to + which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies + the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is + not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client. +- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the + catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape + and DVD).
