In other words, you should +not have to upgrade all your File daemons. However, bat works only with +a 2.1.8 Director. + +Areas requiring caution or testing: +- You must have Qt4 Version 4.2 or greater loaded to build bat +- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded + to build with MySQL enabled. +- The Volume management in the Storage daemon is extensively rewritten. + It appears to function much better, but is largely untested under + severe stress conditions (multiple drive autochangers, ...). +- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause + your database to grow. +- Socket level heartbeat is untested. +- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent + to what we do with sockets). +- Solaris is untested +- 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 cut 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, and + qmake and the other Qt4 tools must be available. bat is ALPHA + software. A large part of the work was done by Dirk Bartley. - Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading). -- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times). -- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files. -- Socket level heartbeat (untested). +- 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. - Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system. - Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers. - Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled. -- New Recycle Pool feature. +- 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. + +Other features or bug fixes: +- Fixed bugs: 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. +- Only the minumum number of volumes are pruned rather than + all volumes in the pool. +- wx-console renamed to bwx-console +- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console +- 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 a in use buffer dump. +- Solaris door and event port files are no longer restored. +- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32 + filename restrictions. +- Corrected 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. +- Perfer 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).
