Hello,
I have just released Bacula version 1.36.3 to Source Forge. It is currently
available in tar format and will be available in RPM format as well as Win32
binary shortly as well.
This is primarily a bug fix release, but also includes the new LaTeX manual
with an index thanks to Karl Cunningham. There is still much work to do on
the manual, but the solid base is now there. :-)
This release drops support for the old style Include/Excludes. If you haven't
yet converted, you might want to try the automatic conversion submitted by
Matt Howard in: examples/conf/fileset_convert.pl There is also a directive
(Ignore FileSet Changes = yes if I remember correctly) which will inhibit
the automatic upgrade to Full after a FileSet change/reformat. I don't
recommend this directive, though it can be useful. If you use it, it is best
to remove it after the first Full backup cycle has completed.
I've included the first part of the Release notes below for your information,
but please look at the full release notes.

Best regards,
Kern

Release Notes for Bacula 1.36.3
Bacula code: Total files = 398 Total lines = 118,000 (*.h *.c *.in)
Major Changes to version 1.36.3:
- Applied all fixes for bugs since version 1.36.2 (see below)
- Use fseeko and ftello so that attributes can exceed 4 GB.
- Thanks to Karl Cunningham's hard work and skilled Perl
programming, the manual is now in LaTeX format
and has an index!
- Drop support of old style Include/Excludes (see below).
New Directives in 1.36.3:
- None, but see 1.36.2 additions below.
New Commands:

Items to note for 1.36.3!!!
- Drop support of old style Include/Excludes. Matt Howard has
supplied a handy Perl program that will do a good job of
converting your FileSets. It can be found in
examples/conf/fileset_convert.pl
- Dan has reminded us that the arguments for make_catalog_backup
changed from 1.34.x to 1.36.1. The old arguments were typically
"-U bacula". The new arguments are typically "bacula bacula",
where the first is the database name, and the second is the
user name.
Patches applied:
04Mar05 1.36.2-level.patch
This patch should fix a problem with th %l editing in the
client (FD) where it edited nothing. With this fix, it should
edit "since".
04Mar05 1.36.2-pool.patch
This patch corrects a problem preventing multiple
simultaneous jobs from different pools.
09Mar05 1.36.2-win32-drive.patch
This patch will prevent the Win32 FD from printing an error message
when it attempts to restore the permissions for a drive (which Win32
doesn't permit). The error is harmless in any case.
15Mar05 1.36.2-netbsd.patch
This patch corrects a compile problem because of no statfs()
on NetBSD. The patch was submitted by kardel with bug 258.
16Mar05 1.36.2-console.patch
This patch causes the output directed to a file to be
flushed after every line. This is a bit overkill, IMO, but
a user complained about it.
17Mar05 1.36.2-restore-speed.patch
This patch will fix a subtle bug that was introduced in 1.36.2
which causes Bacula to be very slow restoring a few files. This
is because it reads completely to the end of the Volume rather
than stopping when all the files on the Volume are loaded. The
introduction of the bug was caused by a patch that fixed
Bacula truncating tapes after a restore.
Note that all source files will be rebuilt during the make.
18Mar05 1.36.2-store.patch
This patch fails a job if no Storage resource is specified and
the job attempts to call the SD.
18Mar05 1.36.2-reschedule.patch
This patch should fix a Segfault bug when a job is rescheduled.
The storage pointers were being released when they should not
have been.
24Mar05 1.36.2-wx-console-bugfixes.patch
Major wx-console fixes (see src/wx-console/CHANGELOG for details).
28Mar05 1.36.2-tray-monitor-memleak.patch
This patch should fix memory leaks in tray-monitor.
