Unfortunately files that are in use by another - program cannot be saved. -- Support for Win95 systems (untested since I don't have Win95). -- Heartbeat every 20 minutes between daemons to prevent network - timeouts. The heartbeat interval can be set. -- Volume names may now only contain letters, numbers, colon, period, dash, - and underscore. - - -Other Changes this Release: -- Preliminary support for BSDi. -- Use smtp instead of mail to send the traceback message. -- Fixed a race condition in the "list" command while a backup is - in progress. -- Beginning of support for SSL encryption. -- Beggining of support for Base level backups. -- Improvements to gnome-console. -- Prune certain orphaned jobs (no files saved, no Volume used). -- Added non-fatal errors to Job reports. -- Eliminate need for SubsysDirectory in each daemon. -- Add a lot more "command line" options to console commands. -- More info in traceback (database type, ...). -- Better handling of errors with autochangers during restore. -- Better cancellation of jobs in Storage daemon (doesn't try - to cleanup twice). -- SD error messages such as autochanger errors are now properly - directed back to Console -- previously some were lost. + Release Notes for Bacula 1.33 + Bacula code: Total files = 281 Total lines = 83,815 (*.h *.c *.in) +Most Significant Changes since 1.32d +- Implement "update slots scan" that reads the volume label(s). +- The full form of the scan is "scan=1,2,4-5,7". With no specification, + all occupied slots are scanned. +- Turn off changer Volumes that are not current in the changer when + an "update slots" is done, or if any tape operation discovers that + the right volume is not in the slot. +- The console program will run all commands it finds in ~/.bconsolerc + at startup. +- Add Dan Langille's changes to the bacula start/stop script that + permit dropping root permissions just after startup. +- New version 1.5.5-1 Cygwin. +- Modify SD to update the catalog database when it is shutdown, + even if the job is canceled. +- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume. +- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first + tape block, so the tape is not recognized. + +Other Changes since 1.32d +- Implement conio.c to use in console program -- mini-readline. +- Enhance "fill" command of btape -- simpler output. Use -v to + cause last block to be dumped after write and after re-read. +- Added an autochanger test to the btape "test" command. It is + automatically invoked if the autochanger is properly configured. It + is still a bit primitive but covers the essential of testing + the mtx-changer script with your autochanger. +- Select the oldest LastWritten volume during recycling. +- Added forward space file test to btape "test" command. +- All 1.32d patches applied. +- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume. +- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first + tape block, so the tape is not recognized. Items to note: !!!!! -- For MySQL users, you must have the thread safe client libraries - available. If you build MySQL yourself, add the --enable-thread-safe-client - option on the ./configure. -- Version 1.31 and 1.30 daemons/Director are not compatible. You must - upgrade all or nothing. +- FreeBSD users NOTE!!!!! + You MUST add the following two records to your SD Device resource for + tape drives. + + TWOEOF = yes + Fast Forward Space File = no + +- The daemon protocol has changed, you must update everything at once. +- The database level has been updated. You must either re-initialize + your databases with: + + ./drop_bacula_tables + ./make_bacula_tables + + which will delete ALL prior catalog information, or you can + update your database with: + ./update_bacula_tables +- smtp has now become bsmtp +- console has now become bconsole. +- console.conf is now bconsole.conf +- Please don't underestimate the repercussions of the bsmtp and bconsole + name changes!
