The main fix in this release +is to allow SQLite3 to work. + +Please note: SQLite3 has been depreciated for a long time. If the +community will step forward (as it did in this case) and prepare +the appropriate make_sqlite3_tables and update_sqlite3_tables files, +we can continue to leave the SQLite3 code in Bacula. However, we +strongly urge users to update to MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL, +which are our supported SQL databases. + +06Sep17 + - Update po files + - Fix SQLite3 upgrade tables script fixes bug #2306 + - baculum: Fix language setting in config file + - Upgrade to latest lz4.c to fix bug #2310 bus error on 64 bit Solaris + - Recompile configure.in + - Ensure systemd/bacula.conf is created by configure fixed bug #2307 + - Fix compiler warning noted in bug #2309 + - Fix SQLite3 Version bug #2305 + - Remove unused variable to elimiate compiler warning + - Recompile configure.in + - Fix #2925 Do not try to stop non backup jobs (virtualfull, copy, migration, + restore, etc...) + - baculum: Fix broken symbolic links for lang files + - don't use add_event() when flag "l" is not set + - core: bwlimit measure bandwidth + - core: bwlimit handle backlog and allow burst + - Do not purge running jobs in autoprune + +Bugs fixed/closed since last release: +2305 2306 2307 2309 2310 2925 + +================================================================== +Release 9.0.3 + +This is a minor bug fix release. + +08Aug17 + - baculum: Fix access denied error on api install wizard page + - baculum: Remove assigning to api host when user is deleted + - baculum: Fix empty admin setting + - baculum: Add ability to assign host to specific user + - baculum: Fix bconsole test connection for new api host that works with new + director + - baculum: Fix sqlite db support + - Fix bug #2301 Solaris Available space incorrectly reported by turning off the + output for Solaris + - Fix bug #2300 mount/unmount/release of single tape drive does not work + - baculum: Fix bconsole connection test in config wizard + - baculum: Fix writing config for schedule and message names with space + - bpipe: Fix compiler warning + - baculum: Fix drag & drop file version elements + - baculum: Add fileset info endpoint and use it in restore wizard + - baculum: Use client name instead of clientid and start using fileset to + prepare restore tree + - baculum: Remove fileset parameter from run restore + - baculum: Fix lstat regex pattern + - baculum: Get the most recent jobs by client and fileset or by clientid and + filesetid + - Fix: bug #3048: jobs are stuck in endless loop in reserve.c + - Add total time to test.out file + - baculum: Add restore job selection in restore job wizard + - Enhance verify job report from bug 2249 + +Bugs fixed/closed since last release: +2300 2301 3048 + + +=============================================================== + +This is a minor bug fix release, but a few of the bugs are important. +The main items fixed are: + +- Postgresql should now work with Postgresql prior to 9.0 + Note: the ssl connection feature added in 9.0 is not available on + postgresql servers older than 9.0 (it needs the new connection API). +- The issues with MariaDB (reconnect variable) are now fixed +- The problem of the btape "test" command finding a wrong number + of files in the append test was a bug. It is now fixed. It is + unlikely that it affected anything but btape. +- The bacula-tray-monitor.deskop script is released in the scripts + directory. +- We recommend that you build with libz and lzo library support (the + developer packages must be installed when building, and the shared + object libraries must be installed at run time). However we have + modified the code so that Bacula *should* build and run with either + or both libz or lzo absent. + +23Jul17 + - Use Bacula in place of Libz variables so we can build with/without + libz and lzo + - Apply ideas from bug #2255 prettier status slots output + - Configure and install bacula-tray-monitor.desktop + - Fix btape test which counted files incorrectly on EOT + - Fix bug #2296 where Bacula would not compile with postgres 8 or older + - Fix bug #2294 Bacula does not build with MariaDB 10.2 + - baculum: Fix multiple directors support + - baculum: Fix showing errors from the API + +Bugs fixed/closed since last release: +2255 2294 2296 + + +================================================================== + +Release 9.0.1 12Jul17: + +This is a minor bug fix release that mainly to include the new +tray-monitor files that were omitted. The tray-monitor now builds +and runs at least on Ubuntu Linux. + +12Jul17 + - Remove two incorrect trailing commas in bsock.h + - Fix bug #2293 bad big endian detection in lz4.c + - Add new tray-monitor files that were omitted in the backport from Enterprise + - bvfs: Do not insert deleted directories in PathVisibility table + - Fix compilation for Debian Stretch with GCC 6.3 + +Bugs fixed/closed since last release: +2293 + +======== + +This is either the biggest Bacula release ever made or one of the +biggest ones. Even without the new Aligned Volumes source code, which +is substantial, there are over 400,000 lines of diff output between +Release 7.4.7 and the release of 9.0.0 + +This is a major new release with a new version number. It has been +very thoroughly tested, but as always, please backup any previous +version and test this version prior to putting it into production. + +For the most part the changes were contributed to the Bacula +project by Bacula Systems SA and myself, but there were a number +of other contributors that I thank. + +Database Update +--------------- +This version of Bacula requires a database update. So either you or the +installation process must apply the update_bacula_tables script. As a +precaution, please do a database dump or run your nightly database backup +prior to running the update script. + +Compatibility: +-------------- +As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded +at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director +or Storage daemon must be of the same version. + +Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 9.0.0 Director and Storage +daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons. + +Packagers: +--------- +There are a good number of new binaries (e.g. bbconsjson, bdirjson, +bfdjson, and bsdjson) to install; a new tapealert script file that should +be installed; and some new shared objects (e.g. libbacsd). The +dvd-handler script has been removed. Note also to run the +update_bacula_tables script after having dumped the catalog to bring any +existing catalog up to the new version needed for Bacula 9.0.0. + +New Features: +------------- +Please see the New Features chapter of the manual for documentation on +the new features. The new features are currently only in the New Features +chapter and have not yet been integrated into the main chapters of the +manual. + +New Features (summary): +----------------------- + + - Major rewrite of the Storage daemon to: put all drivers in class + structures, provide better separation of core/driver code, add new + drivers (aligned volumes, cloud), simplifies core code, allows loadable + device drivers much like plugins but which are better integrated into + the SD. + - There are a number of new Bacula Systems whitepapers available on + www.bacula.org, and a few more will be coming in the next few months. + - New unique message id will be added to every message (designed but + not yet implemented). + +Core Features: + - Implement a drive usage counter to do round robin drive assignment + - Enhance functionality of TapeAlert + - Implement a "Perpetual Virtual Full" feature that creates a Virtual Full backup + that is updated every day + - Increase Director's default "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" setting from 1 to 20 + - Add "PluginDirectory" by default in bacula-sd.conf and bacula-fd.conf + - Add support for terabytes in sizes.
