+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.10
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 423 Total lines = 139,479 (*.h *.c *.in)
+
+Warning for version 1.38.8 and greater:
+- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case
+ in wild-card comparions. To get the same behavior as before,
+ you must explicitly use "Ignore Case = yes" in your FileSet.
+- Backslashes are no longer permitted in File directives
+ (typical error for Windows users), unless the string is
+ enclosed in double quotes, in which case, the backslashes
+ must be doubled.
+
+Major Changes for 1.38.10:
+- This is a primarily a bug fix release, with the following bugs being
+ resolved #570, 609, 611, 613, 614, 617 as well as other bugs not
+ reported in the bugs database. See below for details.
+- The bconsole "reload" command should now work properly in virtually
+ all situations thanks to the efforts of a number of people (Eric,
+ Christopher, and myself).
+- There is an untested fix to eliminate the scheduling problems (either
+ no job run or the same job run twice) during sudden clock shifts (daylight
+ savings time change).
+- The manual has been released under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL).
+ The major difference is that this removes the prior restriction on
+ commercial reproduction of the manual.
+- Fixed a race condition (thanks to Christopher) on dual processor machines
+ that caused jobs to block when starting with the SD.
+
+New features for 1.38.10:
+- None
+
+Fixes for 1.38.10:
+08Jun06
+- Modify setting ACLs to suppress error message if the file is a
+ symbolic link since the file linked to may not yet be created,
+ and symbolic links really should not have attributes ...
+06Jun06
+- Complete implementation of acl.c error message during restore.
+ During backups, errors getting acls are silently ignored, as was
+ previously the case.
+04Jun06
+- Modify configure.in to check for typeof().
+- Better detection of postgresql installation if pg_conf works.
+- Fix RescheduleTimes = 0 bug (should not reschedule).
+- Down port from 1.39: fixes for reload, autochanger error messages,
+ scheduler fixes for reload and day light savings change,
+01Jun06
+- Implement partial error messages for src/filed/acl.c
+- Fix return code to fail when doing update barcodes and
+ Pool resource is not found. This previously caused Volumes
+ to be labeled as cleaning tapes.
+- Small updates to projects file.
+26May06
+- Prevent DVD code from rewriting label if the device cannot be
+ opened read/write.
+- Fix Dir/SD run race in migrate.c, verify.c, and restore.c
+- Update projects file.
+24May06
+- Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure
+ of restarted jobs to complete (due to a destroyed pthreads conditional
+ variable used by the message thread).
+- Fixed bug #619 where Bacula would not restart jobs with MaxRestartTimes
+ set to zero.
+- Apply patch from John Goerzen bug #611 to fix bad manual links in the code.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #614 to removed trailing
+ colons in query.sql file.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #613 to correct prunning of files
+ not to create orphans.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #617 to use mtime instead of ctime
+ in restore long listing.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #609 to use MarkId in verify.c instead
+ of incorrect MarkedId.
+- Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace
+ Director with File daemon).
+21May06
+- Move DIR "run" command to SD before starting the message thread
+ as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from
+ two threads using the bsock structure.
+- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
+05May06
+- Correct EOF with no \n lex.c problem.
+- Add additional INFO messages if autochanger cannot be used.
+- Add Eric Bollengier's lex error handler fix, which corrects most
+ of the reload problems.
+
+
+New features for 1.38.9:
+- A "Dir Status" button in the Gnome console.
+
+Fixes:
+This is mainly a bug fix release containing a collection of
+ minor fixes for 1.38.8.
+- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during
+ a restore.
+- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file.
+- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap
+ statistics.
+- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
+ they should not be (e.g. commands).
+- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
+ Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
+- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
+ listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
+ values.
+- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
+ and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
+- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
+ machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
+ there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
+ FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
+ restorable.
+- Delete src/win32/License.txt
+- Modify installer to install LICENSE
+- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
+- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
+- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
+- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
+ Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
+- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
+ working directory. Fixes bug #578.
+- Update job start time after the any run before job so that
+ files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
+ bug #599.
+- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
+ the restore command when reading a file. This permits
+ the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
+ bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
+- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
+ command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
+ the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
+ was suggested by the user.
+- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
+ portability.
+- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
+ more portability.
+- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
+ than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.
+- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in
+ as reported by a user.
+
+
+New features for 1.38.8:
+- Regex, RegexFile, and RegexDir are now implemented in the
+ Win32 FD. However, this is new experimental code that is
+ largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory
+ leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully
+ before using.
+- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex
+ and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and
+ wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other
+ binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems.
+
+Fixes:
+- See below.
+
+New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases:
+- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
+ no appendable Volumes are available.
+- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
+ documentation.
+- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =',
+ which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can
+ be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot
+ correctly detect the DVD.
+- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory.
+- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the
+ name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers
+ as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers
+ to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each
+ job.
+- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways
+ of displaying the information.
+- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
+- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
+ are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
+- Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
+ disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
+ be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
+ Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
+- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
+- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that
+ allows you to try regular expressions on your system.
+
+Major bug fixes:
+- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
+ both drives want the same Volume.
+- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console
+ if it is not in ACL.
+- Writable FIFOs now work for restore.
+- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands.
+- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers
+ should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names,
+ update slots use correct StorageId).
+- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed
+ while in the reservation process.
+
+
+Minor bug fixes:
+- See below:
+
+Release 1.38.8 (14Apr06)
+14Apr06
+- Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh
+- Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh
+- Abort if a conf resource does not have a Name =
+12Apr06
+- Change the name of the regex program to bregex.
+- Add the bwild program to the tools directory. It is similar
+ to the bregex program.
+- Implement create bregex.h and bregex.c in src/lib from the
+ Python regexp program.
+- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
+11Apr06
+- Modify Makefile to change the permissions on Working Directory
+ to 770 if the directory is created.
+- Do not fail the Makefile if changing the permissions or
+ owner/group on WorkingDir fails.
+- Correct the old recycling algorithm so that Scratch Volumes
+ are selected when looking for a Volume in the changer.
+- Correct a typo in the Verify SQL reported by Joe Park.
+10Apr06
+- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
+ explictly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
+- Remove the code added to 1.38.6 and 1.38.7 that pulls a
+ scratch volume in an Autochanger early in the 'recycling'
+ algorithm.
+08Apr06
+- Tweak license to include Microsoft restrictions.
+- Move mysql.reconnect to after real_connect(). Thanks to
+ Frank Sweetser for the patch.
+- Disallow a backslash in a File = directive (Windows junk)

+ is not translated.
+
+Release 1.38.7 (06Apr06) released 07Apr06
+06Apr06
+- Remove timed wait for VSS on Win2K3 as it is not yet
+ implemented.
+- Correct bacula.in script to reference bacula-ctl-xx in the
+ sysconfig directory rather than the bin directory.
+
+Release 1.38.6 (28Mar06) released 29Mar06
+28Mar06
+- Back port from 1.39 fixes to lib/jcr.c to use foreach_jcr()
+ and new jcr chain locking.
+26Mar06
+- Fix a long standing bug in the bacula start/stop scripts.
+- Attempt to add the new bacula-ctl-* files to the rpm.
+- Switch to using typeof() for list traversing to avoid
+ as many FC5 g++ compiler warnings as possible.
+25Mar06
+- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
+ bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
+ bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
+ bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
+ bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
+- Create datestyle fix for PostgreSQL. Fixes bug #574.
+- Correct editing of JobId from int to int64 in fd_cmds.c
+- Eliminate FileSet name race with bash_spaces() and multiple
+ threads by bashing in a local.
+- Fix error return from 'use storage' to print a correct error
+ message rather than nothing.
+- Correct false re-read last block error message when two jobs
+ are simultaneously writing at the end of a tape.
+- Simplify exit conditions in the reserve.c code to avoid
+ possible non-release of reservation_lock().
+- Suffle lock order in reserve to avoid deadlock between
+ reservation lock and device mutex.
+- Add Thorsten's VSS timeout code to 1.38 branch.
+- Initialize jcr mutex before first use. Thanks to Thorsten for
+ tracking this down for me !!!! as it broke the Win32 build.
+- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
+ Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
+- Implement regex test program in tools directory.

+- Disallow multiple storage specifications for a job. Should fix Arno's
+ problem.
+- Add back a missing store of poolid in jr.poolid.

+- If rescheduling a job cancel the previous incarnation with the SD.
+ Fixes bugs #566 and 557.
+- Fix bug #567 do_message() definition type conflict.
+
+Release 1.38.6 beta5 14Mar06
+- Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private.
+- Create lock/unlock methods for jcr.
+- Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading
+ records to get to seek position.
+- Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
+- Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
+ terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
+ SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
+ mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
+ use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
+- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
+ lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.
+- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with
+ multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list.
+- Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique.
+- Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations
+ system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c.
+ This could possibly fix bug #543.

+
+Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06
+04Mar06
+- The po files should now be current.
+- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the
+ buffers in all cases.
+- Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object).

+ to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
+ be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
+- Allow listing by any of the above.
+- Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time
+ and rates with suffexes.
+- Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items.
+- Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by
+ Bacula.

+
+Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06
+25Feb06
+- Add sql_use_result() define.
+
+Changes to 1.38.6-beta1
+- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL.
+- Add virtual disk autochanger code.
+- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
+ correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.
+- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage().
+- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably
+ trashed the stack.
+- When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode
+ exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search
+ for a Scratch Volume.
+- Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix.
+- Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning.
+- Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected.
+- Check that user supplied a value before referencing
+ it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian.
+- Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code.
+- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when
+ updating all volumes in a Pool.
+- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr.
+- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that
+ two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time.
+- Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape,
+ dvd, and fifo.
+- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
+ a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
+- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger
+ scripts.
+- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
+- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
+ up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
+- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from
+ the Scratch Pool.
+- Implement additional command line options for update Volume.
+- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating
+ all Volumes in a pool.
+
+Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
+- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
+- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
+ so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
+- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
+ for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
+
+Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
+- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon,
+ thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the
+ same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32
+ FD or later.
+- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
+ list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
+ lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
+- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
+ pool by releasing free buffers.
+- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
+- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
+- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
+ number of items goes to zero.
+- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
+ so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
+ waiting.
+- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
+ and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
+ These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
+ a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
+ messages will generally print for each JobId because they
+ represent the different problems with either the same drive
+ or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
+ of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
+ or greater is enabled in the SD.
+- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
+ the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
+ the job can be manually started from the console.
+- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
+ StorageId is zero (old Media records).
+- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
+ slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
+- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
+- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
+ drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
+ Arno's changer bug.
+- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
+- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
+ differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
+ hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
+ util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
+ upgrades.
+- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
+ incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
+ routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
+ from under the walk routines.
+
+
+Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06:
+- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive
+ reservation algorithm has been rewritten.
+- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be
+ mounted and the mount messages has been modified.
+ (the above two items are a potential source of problems).
+- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
+ volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
+- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
+- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
+ it is not an autochanger.
+- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
+ This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
+ rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
+ file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
+- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
+ if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
+ Arnos problem.
+- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
+- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
+- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
+ code. This should fix bug #500.
+- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
+- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
+ of the mode.
+- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
+ You have messages.
+- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
+ only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
+ #514.
+- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
+- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
+ more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
+ jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
+- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
+- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
+- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
+- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
+- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
+- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
+ for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
+- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
+- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
+- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
+ and always open nonblocking.
+- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
+- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
+- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
+ message.
+- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
+- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
+- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
+- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
+- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
+- Use localhost if no network configured
+- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
+- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
+- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
+ and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
+ to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
+- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
+ correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
+ Bug # 506.
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
+ to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
+ IP. Fixes bug # 508.
+- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
+ Christian Masopust.
+- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
+ from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
+- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
+ Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
+- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
+ errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
+- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
+- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
+- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
+ caused an error.
+- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
+- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
+ at the same time.
+- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
+ If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
+ 'list nextvol days=xx'
+ or
+ 'status dir days=xx'
+ My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
+ next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
+ the weekend.
+- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
+- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault

+- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!!
+
+Major Changes in 1.38:
+- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
+- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
+ autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
+ resource in the Storage daemon.
+- There is a new database format that is not compatible
+ with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
+ from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
+- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
+ the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
+- Python Event support has been added. See below for
+ configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
+ so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
+ has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
+- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
+ the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
+ to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
+ BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
+ production.
+- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
+ ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
+ and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
+- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
+ records have been removed from the catalog.
+- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
+- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
+ to Landon Fuller.
+- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
+ other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
+- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
+ to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
+ any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
+ also be used to group jobs.
+- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
+- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
+ backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
+ A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
+ turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource.
+- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
+- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
+- SQLite3 support.
+- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
+ is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
+ level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
+- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
+ in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
+
+New Directives:
+- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the
+ SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
+ Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
+ it will select the first available drive.
+- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
+ cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
+ Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\''
+ Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
+ is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
+ want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
+ storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
+ default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
+ that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
+ ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
+ and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
+ A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
+ to recurse.
+- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
+ - WildDir xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
+ be matched).
+ - WildFile xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
+ be matched).
+ - RegexDir xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
+ will not be matched).
+ - RegexFile xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
+ will not be matched).
+ - IgnoreCase = yes | no
+ Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
+ This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
+ - FsType = string
+ where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
+ reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
+ systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
+ and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
+ specified on the fstype directive does not match the
+ filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
+ not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
+ backing up non-local filesystems.
+ - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
+ If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
+- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
+ Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
+ If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
+ precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
+- Check Labels = yes | no
+ Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
+ ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
+ is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
+ check the label type.
+- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
+ which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
+ appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
+ so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
+- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
+ a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
+ HardLinks = no
+ in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
+- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines the maximum part size.
+- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
+ must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
+ must be defined in the same Device resource:
+ + Mount Point = directory
+ Directory where the device must be mounted.
+ + Mount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
+ is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
+ Mount Point.
+ + Unmount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
+ command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
+ %m with the Mount Point.
+ + Write Part Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
+ the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
+ with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
+ and %v with the current part filename.
+ + Free Space Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
+ on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
+ the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
+ number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
+- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
+ If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
+ created after the job is finished.
+- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
+ of the manual.
+
+New Commands:
+- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
+ sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
+ a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
+
+New configure options:
+- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
+ the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
+- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
+ required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
+
+Items to note!!!
+- The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using
+ (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much
+ more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In
+ general, you should always do a 'unmount' prior to removing a
+ tape, and a 'mount' after putting a new one into the drive.
+- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
+ to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
+ such as 'update slots' may not work.
+- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
+ if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
+ automatically detected if in the standard place.
+- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
+ can be ignored.
+- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
+ old database. After installation, run from your scripts
+ directory:
+
+ ./upgrade_bacula_tables
+
+ You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats
+ directory.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
+ you want TLS communications encryption support.
+- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
+ all cases, so it is turned off.
+- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
+ AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
+ generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
+ Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
+ solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
+ turned on (normally it is -O2).
+ This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with
+ gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on
+ an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all
+ users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when
+ compiling.
+
+
+Other Items Fixed:
+- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
+ ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
+- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
+ which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
+ Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
+ (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
+ program must be patched using the
+ <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
+ You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
+- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
+ files, called 'parts'.
+- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
+ Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
+- The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed
+ by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions
+ to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive. If
+ all else fails, change to using user=root. However, it is more secure
+ to use user=bacula.
--- /dev/null
+
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.11
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 423 Total lines = 139,479 (*.h *.c *.in)
+
+Warning for version 1.38.8 and greater:
+- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case
+ in wild-card comparions. To get the same behavior as before,
+ you must explicitly use "Ignore Case = yes" in your FileSet.
+- Backslashes are no longer permitted in File directives
+ (typical error for Windows users), unless the string is
+ enclosed in double quotes, in which case, the backslashes
+ must be doubled.
+
+Major Changes for 1.38.11
+- Add test for IRIX64 as OS
+- Fix scheduler hang during clock shift (due to missing unlock())
+- Minor tweaks to bregex.c
+- Fix to block.c to correctly check for DVD number of parts.
+- Fix to dev.c to permit DVD seeking in spool file. Corrects
+ label rewriting problems.
+- Clarify license for techlogs (GPL). I consider them "part" of
+ the source code of Bacula.
+- Use FDL license for developer's manual, French translation, German
+ translation, bimagemgr manuals (same as the main manual), and
+ the web site.
+
+New features for 1.38.11:
+- None
+
+====================================================================
+
+Major Changes for 1.38.10:
+- This is a primarily a bug fix release, with the following bugs being
+ resolved #570, 609, 611, 613, 614, 617 as well as other bugs not
+ reported in the bugs database. See below for details.
+- The bconsole "reload" command should now work properly in virtually
+ all situations thanks to the efforts of a number of people (Eric,
+ Christopher, and myself).
+- There is an untested fix to eliminate the scheduling problems (either
+ no job run or the same job run twice) during sudden clock shifts (daylight
+ savings time change).
+- The manual has been released under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL).
+ The major difference is that this removes the prior restriction on
+ commercial reproduction of the manual.
+- Fixed a race condition (thanks to Christopher) on dual processor machines
+ that caused jobs to block when starting with the SD.
+
+New features for 1.38.10:
+- None
+
+Fixes for 1.38.10:
+08Jun06
+- Modify setting ACLs to suppress error message if the file is a
+ symbolic link since the file linked to may not yet be created,
+ and symbolic links really should not have attributes ...
+06Jun06
+- Complete implementation of acl.c error message during restore.
+ During backups, errors getting acls are silently ignored, as was
+ previously the case.
+04Jun06
+- Modify configure.in to check for typeof().
+- Better detection of postgresql installation if pg_conf works.
+- Fix RescheduleTimes = 0 bug (should not reschedule).
+- Down port from 1.39: fixes for reload, autochanger error messages,
+ scheduler fixes for reload and day light savings change,
+01Jun06
+- Implement partial error messages for src/filed/acl.c
+- Fix return code to fail when doing update barcodes and
+ Pool resource is not found. This previously caused Volumes
+ to be labeled as cleaning tapes.
+- Small updates to projects file.
+26May06
+- Prevent DVD code from rewriting label if the device cannot be
+ opened read/write.
+- Fix Dir/SD run race in migrate.c, verify.c, and restore.c
+- Update projects file.
+24May06
+- Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure
+ of restarted jobs to complete (due to a destroyed pthreads conditional
+ variable used by the message thread).
+- Fixed bug #619 where Bacula would not restart jobs with MaxRestartTimes
+ set to zero.
+- Apply patch from John Goerzen bug #611 to fix bad manual links in the code.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #614 to removed trailing
+ colons in query.sql file.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #613 to correct prunning of files
+ not to create orphans.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #617 to use mtime instead of ctime
+ in restore long listing.
+- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #609 to use MarkId in verify.c instead
+ of incorrect MarkedId.
+- Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace
+ Director with File daemon).
+21May06
+- Move DIR "run" command to SD before starting the message thread
+ as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from
+ two threads using the bsock structure.
+- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
+05May06
+- Correct EOF with no \n lex.c problem.
+- Add additional INFO messages if autochanger cannot be used.
+- Add Eric Bollengier's lex error handler fix, which corrects most
+ of the reload problems.
+
+
+New features for 1.38.9:
+- A "Dir Status" button in the Gnome console.
+
+Fixes:
+This is mainly a bug fix release containing a collection of
+ minor fixes for 1.38.8.
+- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during
+ a restore.
+- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file.
+- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap
+ statistics.
+- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
+ they should not be (e.g. commands).
+- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
+ Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
+- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
+ listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
+ values.
+- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
+ and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
+- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
+ machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
+ there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
+ FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
+ restorable.
+- Delete src/win32/License.txt
+- Modify installer to install LICENSE
+- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
+- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
+- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
+- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
+ Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
+- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
+ working directory. Fixes bug #578.
+- Update job start time after the any run before job so that
+ files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
+ bug #599.
+- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
+ the restore command when reading a file. This permits
+ the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
+ bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
+- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
+ command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
+ the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
+ was suggested by the user.
+- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
+ portability.
+- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
+ more portability.
+- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
+ than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.
+- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in
+ as reported by a user.
+
+
+New features for 1.38.8:
+- Regex, RegexFile, and RegexDir are now implemented in the
+ Win32 FD. However, this is new experimental code that is
+ largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory
+ leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully
+ before using.
+- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex
+ and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and
+ wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other
+ binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems.
+
+Fixes:
+- See below.
+
+New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases:
+- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
+ no appendable Volumes are available.
+- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
+ documentation.
+- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =',
+ which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can
+ be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot
+ correctly detect the DVD.
+- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory.
+- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the
+ name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers
+ as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers
+ to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each
+ job.
+- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways
+ of displaying the information.
+- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
+- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
+ are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
+- Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
+ disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
+ be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
+ Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
+- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
+- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that
+ allows you to try regular expressions on your system.
+
+Major bug fixes:
+- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
+ both drives want the same Volume.
+- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console
+ if it is not in ACL.
+- Writable FIFOs now work for restore.
+- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands.
+- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers
+ should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names,
+ update slots use correct StorageId).
+- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed
+ while in the reservation process.
+
+
+Minor bug fixes:
+- See below:
+
+Release 1.38.8 (14Apr06)
+14Apr06
+- Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh
+- Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh
+- Abort if a conf resource does not have a Name =
+12Apr06
+- Change the name of the regex program to bregex.
+- Add the bwild program to the tools directory. It is similar
+ to the bregex program.
+- Implement create bregex.h and bregex.c in src/lib from the
+ Python regexp program.
+- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
+11Apr06
+- Modify Makefile to change the permissions on Working Directory
+ to 770 if the directory is created.
+- Do not fail the Makefile if changing the permissions or
+ owner/group on WorkingDir fails.
+- Correct the old recycling algorithm so that Scratch Volumes
+ are selected when looking for a Volume in the changer.
+- Correct a typo in the Verify SQL reported by Joe Park.
+10Apr06
+- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
+ explictly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
+- Remove the code added to 1.38.6 and 1.38.7 that pulls a
+ scratch volume in an Autochanger early in the 'recycling'
+ algorithm.
+08Apr06
+- Tweak license to include Microsoft restrictions.
+- Move mysql.reconnect to after real_connect(). Thanks to
+ Frank Sweetser for the patch.
+- Disallow a backslash in a File = directive (Windows junk)
+ unless the string is quoted.
+- Apply Eric's patch to ua_label.c so that daemon protocol
+ is not translated.
+
+Release 1.38.7 (06Apr06) released 07Apr06
+06Apr06
+- Remove timed wait for VSS on Win2K3 as it is not yet
+ implemented.
+- Correct bacula.in script to reference bacula-ctl-xx in the
+ sysconfig directory rather than the bin directory.
+
+Release 1.38.6 (28Mar06) released 29Mar06
+28Mar06
+- Back port from 1.39 fixes to lib/jcr.c to use foreach_jcr()
+ and new jcr chain locking.
+26Mar06
+- Fix a long standing bug in the bacula start/stop scripts.
+- Attempt to add the new bacula-ctl-* files to the rpm.
+- Switch to using typeof() for list traversing to avoid
+ as many FC5 g++ compiler warnings as possible.
+25Mar06
+- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
+ bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
+ bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
+ bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
+ bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
+- Create datestyle fix for PostgreSQL. Fixes bug #574.
+- Correct editing of JobId from int to int64 in fd_cmds.c
+- Eliminate FileSet name race with bash_spaces() and multiple
+ threads by bashing in a local.
+- Fix error return from 'use storage' to print a correct error
+ message rather than nothing.
+- Correct false re-read last block error message when two jobs
+ are simultaneously writing at the end of a tape.
+- Simplify exit conditions in the reserve.c code to avoid
+ possible non-release of reservation_lock().
+- Suffle lock order in reserve to avoid deadlock between
+ reservation lock and device mutex.
+- Add Thorsten's VSS timeout code to 1.38 branch.
+- Initialize jcr mutex before first use. Thanks to Thorsten for
+ tracking this down for me !!!! as it broke the Win32 build.

+
+Release 1.38.6 beta6 16Mar06
+- Fix bug #537 to allow arbitrary time to mount a volume for
+ restore, if polling is turned on.
+- Disallow multiple storage specifications for a job. Should fix Arno's
+ problem.
+- Add back a missing store of poolid in jr.poolid.
+- If dir_user or dir-group is specified in ./configure apply it to

+- Fix bug #567 do_message() definition type conflict.
+
+Release 1.38.6 beta5 14Mar06
+- Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private.
+- Create lock/unlock methods for jcr.
+- Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading
+ records to get to seek position.
+- Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
+- Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
+ terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
+ SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
+ mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
+ use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
+- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
+ lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.
+- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with
+ multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list.
+- Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique.
+- Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations
+ system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c.
+ This could possibly fix bug #543.
+- Stop SD command loop if job is canceled.
+
+Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06
+04Mar06
+- The po files should now be current.
+- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the
+ buffers in all cases.
+- Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object).
+- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
+ to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
+ be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
+- Allow listing by any of the above.
+- Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time
+ and rates with suffexes.
+- Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items.
+- Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by
+ Bacula.
+- Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid.

+- Fix restore of writable FIFOs.
+- Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early.
+
+26Feb06
+- Fix bug reported by Arno listing blocks with bls
+- Update the po files at Eric's request.
+
+Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06
+25Feb06
+- Add sql_use_result() define.
+
+Changes to 1.38.6-beta1
+- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL.
+- Add virtual disk autochanger code.
+- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
+ correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.
+- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage().
+- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably
+ trashed the stack.
+- When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode
+ exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search
+ for a Scratch Volume.
+- Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix.
+- Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning.
+- Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected.
+- Check that user supplied a value before referencing
+ it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian.
+- Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code.
+- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when
+ updating all volumes in a Pool.
+- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr.
+- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that
+ two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time.
+- Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape,
+ dvd, and fifo.
+- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
+ a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
+- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger
+ scripts.
+- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
+- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
+ up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
+- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from
+ the Scratch Pool.
+- Implement additional command line options for update Volume.
+- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating
+ all Volumes in a pool.
+
+Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
+- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
+- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
+ so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
+- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
+ for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
+
+Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
+- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon,
+ thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the
+ same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32
+ FD or later.
+- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
+ list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
+ lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
+- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
+ pool by releasing free buffers.
+- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
+- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
+- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
+ number of items goes to zero.
+- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
+ so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
+ waiting.
+- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
+ and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
+ These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
+ a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
+ messages will generally print for each JobId because they
+ represent the different problems with either the same drive
+ or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
+ of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
+ or greater is enabled in the SD.
+- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
+ the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
+ the job can be manually started from the console.
+- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
+ StorageId is zero (old Media records).
+- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
+ slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
+- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
+- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
+ drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
+ Arno's changer bug.
+- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
+- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
+ differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
+ hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
+ util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
+ upgrades.
+- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
+ incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
+ routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
+ from under the walk routines.
+
+
+Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06:
+- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive
+ reservation algorithm has been rewritten.
+- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be
+ mounted and the mount messages has been modified.
+ (the above two items are a potential source of problems).
+- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
+ volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
+- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
+- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
+ it is not an autochanger.
+- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
+ This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
+ rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
+ file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
+- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
+ if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
+ Arnos problem.
+- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
+- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
+- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
+ code. This should fix bug #500.
+- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
+- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
+ of the mode.
+- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
+ You have messages.
+- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
+ only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
+ #514.
+- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
+- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
+ more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
+ jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
+- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
+- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
+- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
+- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
+- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
+- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
+ for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
+- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
+- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
+- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
+ and always open nonblocking.
+- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
+- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
+- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
+ message.
+- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
+- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
+- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
+- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
+- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
+- Use localhost if no network configured
+- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
+- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
+- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
+ and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
+ to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
+- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
+ correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
+ Bug # 506.
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
+ to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
+ IP. Fixes bug # 508.
+- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
+ Christian Masopust.
+- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
+ from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
+- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
+ Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
+- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
+ errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
+- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
+- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
+- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
+ caused an error.
+- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
+- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
+ at the same time.
+- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
+ If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
+ 'list nextvol days=xx'
+ or
+ 'status dir days=xx'
+ My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
+ next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
+ the weekend.
+- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
+- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault

+ by user. Fixes bug #456.
+- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!!
+
+Major Changes in 1.38:
+- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
+- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
+ autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
+ resource in the Storage daemon.
+- There is a new database format that is not compatible
+ with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
+ from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
+- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
+ the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
+- Python Event support has been added. See below for
+ configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
+ so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
+ has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
+- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
+ the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
+ to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
+ BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
+ production.
+- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
+ ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
+ and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
+- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
+ records have been removed from the catalog.
+- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
+- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
+ to Landon Fuller.
+- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
+ other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
+- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
+ to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
+ any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
+ also be used to group jobs.
+- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
+- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
+ backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
+ A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
+ turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource.
+- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
+- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
+- SQLite3 support.
+- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
+ is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
+ level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
+- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
+ in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
+
+New Directives:
+- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the
+ SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
+ Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
+ it will select the first available drive.
+- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
+ cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
+ Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\''
+ Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
+ is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
+ want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
+ storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
+ default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
+ that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
+ ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
+ and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
+ A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
+ to recurse.
+- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
+ - WildDir xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
+ be matched).
+ - WildFile xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
+ be matched).
+ - RegexDir xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
+ will not be matched).
+ - RegexFile xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
+ will not be matched).
+ - IgnoreCase = yes | no
+ Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
+ This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
+ - FsType = string
+ where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
+ reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
+ systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
+ and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
+ specified on the fstype directive does not match the
+ filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
+ not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
+ backing up non-local filesystems.
+ - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
+ If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
+- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
+ Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
+ If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
+ precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
+- Check Labels = yes | no
+ Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
+ ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
+ is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
+ check the label type.
+- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
+ which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
+ appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
+ so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
+- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
+ a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
+ HardLinks = no
+ in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
+- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines the maximum part size.
+- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
+ must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
+ must be defined in the same Device resource:
+ + Mount Point = directory
+ Directory where the device must be mounted.
+ + Mount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
+ is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
+ Mount Point.
+ + Unmount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
+ command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
+ %m with the Mount Point.
+ + Write Part Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
+ the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
+ with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
+ and %v with the current part filename.
+ + Free Space Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
+ on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
+ the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
+ number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
+- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
+ If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
+ created after the job is finished.
+- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
+ of the manual.
+
+New Commands:
+- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
+ sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
+ a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
+
+New configure options:
+- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
+ the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
+- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
+ required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
+
+Items to note!!!
+- The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using
+ (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much
+ more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In
+ general, you should always do a 'unmount' prior to removing a
+ tape, and a 'mount' after putting a new one into the drive.
+- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
+ to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
+ such as 'update slots' may not work.
+- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
+ if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
+ automatically detected if in the standard place.
+- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
+ can be ignored.
+- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
+ old database. After installation, run from your scripts
+ directory:
+
+ ./upgrade_bacula_tables
+
+ You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats
+ directory.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
+ you want TLS communications encryption support.
+- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
+ all cases, so it is turned off.
+- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
+ AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
+ generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
+ Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
+ solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
+ turned on (normally it is -O2).
+ This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with
+ gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on
+ an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all
+ users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when
+ compiling.
+
+
+Other Items Fixed:
+- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
+ ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
+- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
+ which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
+ Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
+ (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
+ program must be patched using the
+ <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
+ You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
+- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
+ files, called 'parts'.
+- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
+ Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
+- The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed
+ by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions
+ to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive. If
+ all else fails, change to using user=root. However, it is more secure
+ to use user=bacula.
--- /dev/null
+
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.9
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 419 Total lines = 137,078 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
+
+Warning for version 1.38.8 and greater:
+- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case
+ in wild-card comparions. To get the same behavior as before,
+ you must explicitly use "Ignore Case = yes" in your FileSet.
+- Backslashes are no longer permitted in File directives
+ (typical error for Windows users), unless the string is
+ enclosed in double quotes, in which case, the backslashes
+ must be doubled.
+- The new algorithm for selecting Volumes from the Scratch
+ pool that was implemented in 1.38.6 and 1.38.7 is abandoned
+ in favor of a corrected version of the 1.38.5 algorithm.
+
+New features for 1.38.9:
+- A "Dir Status" button in the Gnome console.
+
+Fixes:
+This is mainly a bug fix release containing a collection of
+ minor fixes for 1.38.8.
+- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during
+ a restore.
+- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file.
+- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap
+ statistics.
+- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
+ they should not be (e.g. commands).
+- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
+ Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
+- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
+ listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
+ values.
+- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
+ and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
+- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
+ machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
+ there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
+ FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
+ restorable.
+- Delete src/win32/License.txt
+- Modify installer to install LICENSE
+- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
+- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
+- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
+- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
+ Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
+- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
+ working directory. Fixes bug #578.
+- Update job start time after the any run before job so that
+ files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
+ bug #599.
+- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
+ the restore command when reading a file. This permits
+ the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
+ bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
+- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
+ command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
+ the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
+ was suggested by the user.
+- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
+ portability.
+- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
+ more portability.
+- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
+ than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.
+- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in
+ as reported by a user.
+
+!!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ In Bacula version 1.38.5 and prior, there was apparently a
+ compiler bug that caused the Storage daemon to seg fault.
+ I have applied a workaround in version 1.38.6 and greater that
+ seems to work. If you experience problems, follow the instructions
+ below.
+
+ If you are compiling for a 64 bit machine, you need to ensure
+ that the code is compiled with the -O0 (- oh zero) option otherwise
+ the SD will crash on most all operations -- apparently due to
+ a compiler bug in gcc's 64 bit code generation.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+
+New features for 1.38.8:
+- Regex, RegexFile, and RegexDir are now implemented in the
+ Win32 FD. However, this is new experimental code that is
+ largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory
+ leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully
+ before using.
+- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex
+ and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and
+ wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other
+ binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems.
+
+Fixes:
+- See below.
+
+New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases:
+- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
+ no appendable Volumes are available.
+- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
+ documentation.
+- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =',
+ which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can
+ be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot
+ correctly detect the DVD.
+- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory.
+- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the
+ name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers
+ as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers
+ to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each
+ job.
+- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways
+ of displaying the information.
+- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
+- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
+ are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
+- Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
+ disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
+ be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
+ Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
+- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
+- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that
+ allows you to try regular expressions on your system.
+
+Major bug fixes:
+- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
+ both drives want the same Volume.
+- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console
+ if it is not in ACL.
+- Writable FIFOs now work for restore.
+- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands.
+- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers
+ should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names,
+ update slots use correct StorageId).
+- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed
+ while in the reservation process.
+
+
+Minor bug fixes:
+- See below:

+
+Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
+- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
+- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
+ so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
+- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
+ for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
+
+Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
+- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon,
+ thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the
+ same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32
+ FD or later.
+- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
+ list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
+ lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
+- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
+ pool by releasing free buffers.
+- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
+- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
+- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
+ number of items goes to zero.
+- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
+ so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
+ waiting.
+- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
+ and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
+ These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
+ a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
+ messages will generally print for each JobId because they
+ represent the different problems with either the same drive
+ or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
+ of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
+ or greater is enabled in the SD.
+- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
+ the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
+ the job can be manually started from the console.
+- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
+ StorageId is zero (old Media records).
+- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
+ slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
+- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
+- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
+ drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
+ Arno's changer bug.
+- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
+- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
+ differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
+ hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
+ util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
+ upgrades.
+- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
+ incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
+ routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
+ from under the walk routines.
+
+
+Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06:
+- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive
+ reservation algorithm has been rewritten.
+- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be
+ mounted and the mount messages has been modified.
+ (the above two items are a potential source of problems).
+- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
+ volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
+- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
+- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
+ it is not an autochanger.
+- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
+ This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
+ rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
+ file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
+- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
+ if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
+ Arnos problem.
+- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
+- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
+- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
+ code. This should fix bug #500.
+- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
+- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
+ of the mode.
+- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
+ You have messages.
+- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
+ only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
+ #514.
+- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
+- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
+ more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
+ jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
+- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
+- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
+- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.

+- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
+ and always open nonblocking.
+- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
+- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
+- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
+ message.
+- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
+- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
+- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
+- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
+- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
+- Use localhost if no network configured
+- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
+- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
+- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
+ and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
+ to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
+- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
+ correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
+ Bug # 506.
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
+ to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
+ IP. Fixes bug # 508.
+- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
+ Christian Masopust.
+- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
+ from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
+- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
+ Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
+- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
+ errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
+- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
+- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
+- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
+ caused an error.
+- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
+- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
+ at the same time.
+- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
+ If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
+ 'list nextvol days=xx'
+ or
+ 'status dir days=xx'
+ My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
+ next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
+ the weekend.
+- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
+- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault

+- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!!
+
+Major Changes in 1.38:
+- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
+- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
+ autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
+ resource in the Storage daemon.
+- There is a new database format that is not compatible
+ with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
+ from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
+- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
+ the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
+- Python Event support has been added. See below for
+ configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
+ so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
+ has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
+- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
+ the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
+ to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
+ BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
+ production.
+- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
+ ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
+ and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
+- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
+ records have been removed from the catalog.
+- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
+- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
+ to Landon Fuller.
+- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
+ other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
+- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
+ to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
+ any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
+ also be used to group jobs.
+- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
+- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
+ backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
+ A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
+ turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource.
+- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
+- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
+- SQLite3 support.
+- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
+ is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
+ level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
+- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
+ in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
+
+New Directives:
+- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the
+ SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
+ Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
+ it will select the first available drive.
+- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
+ cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
+ Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\''
+ Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
+ is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
+ want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
+ storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
+ default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
+ that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
+ ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
+ and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
+ A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
+ to recurse.
+- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
+ - WildDir xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
+ be matched).
+ - WildFile xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
+ be matched).
+ - RegexDir xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
+ will not be matched).
+ - RegexFile xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
+ will not be matched).
+ - IgnoreCase = yes | no
+ Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
+ This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
+ - FsType = string
+ where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
+ reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
+ systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
+ and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
+ specified on the fstype directive does not match the
+ filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
+ not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
+ backing up non-local filesystems.
+ - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
+ If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
+- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
+ Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
+ If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
+ precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
+- Check Labels = yes | no
+ Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
+ ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
+ is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
+ check the label type.
+- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
+ which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
+ appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
+ so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
+- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
+ a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
+ HardLinks = no
+ in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
+- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines the maximum part size.
+- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
+ must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
+ must be defined in the same Device resource:
+ + Mount Point = directory
+ Directory where the device must be mounted.
+ + Mount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
+ is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
+ Mount Point.
+ + Unmount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
+ command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
+ %m with the Mount Point.
+ + Write Part Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
+ the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
+ with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
+ and %v with the current part filename.
+ + Free Space Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
+ on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
+ the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
+ number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
+- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
+ If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
+ created after the job is finished.
+- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
+ of the manual.
+
+New Commands:
+- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
+ sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
+ a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
+
+New configure options:
+- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
+ the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
+- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
+ required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
+
+Items to note!!!
+- The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using
+ (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much
+ more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In
+ general, you should always do a 'unmount' prior to removing a
+ tape, and a 'mount' after putting a new one into the drive.
+- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
+ to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
+ such as 'update slots' may not work.
+- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
+ if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
+ automatically detected if in the standard place.
+- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
+ can be ignored.
+- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
+ old database. After installation, run from your scripts
+ directory:
+
+ ./upgrade_bacula_tables
+
+ You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats
+ directory.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
+ you want TLS communications encryption support.
+- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
+ all cases, so it is turned off.
+- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
+ AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
+ generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
+ Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
+ solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
+ turned on (normally it is -O2).
+ This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with
+ gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on
+ an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all
+ users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when
+ compiling.
+
+
+Other Items Fixed:
+- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
+ ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
+- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
+ which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
+ Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
+ (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
+ program must be patched using the
+ <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
+ You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
+- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
+ files, called 'parts'.
+- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
+ Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
+- The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed
+ by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions
+ to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive. If
+ all else fails, change to using user=root. However, it is more secure
+ to use user=bacula.

+ values.
+- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
+ and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
+- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
+ machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if

+- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
+ so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before

+- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
+ and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
+ These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
+ a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
+ messages will generally print for each JobId because they
+ represent the different problems with either the same drive
+ or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
+ of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
+ or greater is enabled in the SD.
+11Jan06
+- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents

+ hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
+ util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
+ upgrades.
+- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
+ incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
+ routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
+ from under the walk routines.
+
+Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
+04Jan06
+- Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
+ premature termination of the reservation if all drives
+ are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.

+ code.
+- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
+- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
+ it is not an autochanger.
+- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
+ This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
+ rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
+ file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
+- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
+ if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
+ Arnos problem.
+- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
+- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
+- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
+ code. This should fix bug #500.

+- Delete old bnet packet code.
+- Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
+ wx-console.
+- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
+ only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
+ #514.
+Beta release 20Dec05:
+20Dec05
+- Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
+ reported by Wolfgang Denk
+19Dec05
+- Implement load balancing code.

+ If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
+ 'list nextvol days=xx'
+ or
