Hello,
I have released the source code for Bacula 2.0.3. This version consists
mostly of bug fixes for a good number bugs reported since version 2.0.2 was
released. The most important fix is for a critical problem of encrypted
files being truncated during restore.
Version 2.0.3 also has one new feature, which is quick release of the Client
(File daemon) as soon as all the data is transferred. In previous versions,
the client was held open until the SD had completed all the work including
despooling the attributes. This can be useful for laptops where they want to
connect do a backup and disconnect as quickly as possible.
On a different subject: the new bat (Qt4 console) is progressing slowly but
surely. The current version has roughly the same features as the
gnome-console. Hopefully, in the near future, it will have many more
features.
Best regards,
Kern
========= excerpt from the 2.0.3 ReleaseNotes ===========
07Mar07
kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
05Mar07
kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
04Mar07
kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
tape alert info.
02Mar07
kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
28Feb07
kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
27Feb07
kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
in bug #791.
26Feb07
kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
24Feb07
ebl Fix FIFO stuff, bacula tries to rewind the FIFO... Thanks to Andreas
22Feb07
kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
not be zeroed.
21Feb07
kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
than English. Fixes bug #788.
20Feb07
ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob as it was in 1.38.x
This fixes bug #780
You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
If you want to use this, you can apply
trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_l
19Feb07
kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
16Feb07
kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
15Feb07
kes Add quick disconnect FD code from 2.1.4 to 2.0.3. This code
causes the SD to release the FD as soon as the FD has sent
all the data to the SD. After that the SD will do any final
despooling (data and attributes) that are necessary. This
allows laptops to disconnect much quicker from the network
after a backup.
13Feb07
kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
11Feb07
kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
was opened, it is closed.
10Feb07
kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
09Feb07
kes Update projects list.
08Feb07
kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
#767.
kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
to fail.
kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
07Feb07
Switch to using Subversion
kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
06Feb07
kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
plus the entrypoints.
kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
05Feb07
kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
Fixes bug #771.
kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
04Feb07
kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
problem is with read or append.
02Feb07
kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
(i.e. migration jobs).
kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
a memory leak problem.
kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
(hides some of the ugly casting).
26Jan07 (back port)
kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
the SD. This is noted in more detail above.
