Technical notes on version 1.39
General:
+12Oct06
+kes Apply the three patches from Richard Mortimer.
+ bacula-reposition.patch, bacula-tape-reopen.patch, and
+ bacula-eod.patch. This corrects tape positioning on older devices,
+ and also a problem with btape.
+kes Apply fix from bug report #696 where writing to a FIFO does not
+ work due to a dumb typo.
+kes Unlock the tape door before the file descriptor is released. This
+ should fix lots of somewhat subtle failures when using an autochanger.
+11Oct06
+kes Correct mtx-changer bug that I introduced in a recent commit, and
+ pointed out by Robert Nelson -- thanks.
+rbn Fix Windows' daemons so that messages print to stdout if not
+ running as a service.
+rbn Add daemon name to trace file name (eg bacula-dir.trace).
+rbn Fix environment variable expansion in directory names on Windows.
+rbn Fix autochanger support in fill command.
+rbn Update SQL scripts to match Unix versions.
+rbn Fix daemon usage displays.
+rbn Cleanup bacula-dir.conf template.
+rbn Install openssl.cnf so that the openssl.exe installed in the
+ Bacula\bin directory can be used to generate keys and
+ certificates for TLS and encryption.
+rbn Fix cleanup of spool files on Windows.
+rbn Remove /silent option from daemons on Windows. The new default
+ is the same as the old /silent. To enable the message boxes that
+ previously were suppressed by /silent you must add /debug instead.
+ NOTE: As a result of this change, the first time you upgrade from
+ a previous version of 1.39.x you will receive the message
+ boxes when the remove of the old services succeeds. This
+ is the same behaviour as when migrating from a version prior
+ to 1.39.0.
+ However, going forward, these message boxes will not appear on
+ upgrades or new installs.
+rbn Add new /debug option. This option enables the message boxes that
+ previously were suppressed by the /silent option. In addition the
+ daemons running as services will open a console window if this
+ option is used.
+rbn Fix bug with service not being removed on migrated installs. This
+ should correct those cases where the file daemon install was failing
+ when upgrading from versions prior to 1.39.x.
+
+08Oct06
+kes Turn on heap reporting in Dir with zero debug level.
+kes Send a message to the sys log when Bacula forces a SEG FAULT, and
+ send the same message to stdout.
+07Oct06
+kes Begin work on new GUI "console".
+kes Make configure look in non-standard MySQL library directory
+ for Solaris.
+kes Make mtx-changer automatically configure the autochanger wait
+ procedure for Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux. Previously, only Linux
+ was implemented.
+kes Correct drop_sqlite_tables.in script to not delete the database.
+kes When writing to a log file, close and reopen the file descriptor
+ if there is an error writing the file.
+kes Modify the autochanger loaded?, load, and unload commands to print
+ the full text of any mtx output if there is an error. Helps to
+ ease diagnosis of autochanger problems.
+kes Correct a few Win32 errno returns in the VSS code so that hopefully
+ a resonable Win32 error message will be printed.
+kes Convert a few strcat()... to bstrncat() in the Win32 code.
+06Oct06
+rbn Added Windows version of bsmtp.
+rbn Fixed path search for Windows so that Bacula\bin is automatically
+ searched for programs and scripts.
+rbn Fixed bugs in mtx-changer.cmd and made template bacula-sd.conf
+ Windows specific.
+
Version 1.39.24 beta released:
02Oct06
rbn Fix restore problem with c:\ prefix bug #676.
- Release Notes for Bacula 1.39.24
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.39.26
Bacula code: Total files = 447 Total lines = 149,711 (*.h *.c *.in)
-New Features in 1.39.24
-- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
-- Win32 external script excution is much more flexible -- handles
- spaces in names better, ...
-- Lots of DVD fixes -- I think they now work!
-- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect
- any Catalog ACL.
-- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
- patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- from Eric Bollengier.
-- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
-- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary)
-- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
-- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir
-- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
- the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
- path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
- over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-- Install man pages with 'make install'
-- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
-- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
-- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
+Version 1.39.26 contains mainly bug fixes to 1.39.24. Please
+ see the ChangeLog for more details.
