http://www.sibbald.com/download/bacula-docs-2.1.12.tar.bz2.sig
The main docs file is 19+MB so will not load on Source Forge.
This release is mainly a bug fix to version 2.1.10 with the following changes:
Changes since Beta release 2.1.10
- Lots of new bat functionality !!!!!!
- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
- Reload was broken in 2.1.10 -- now fixed.
- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
pool and media type when a job is waiting.
- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
- Reduce the impact of a backup on the FD's memory usage (OS file
caching). This works only on POSIX compliant systems. This allows
users to work with less interference on a Client machine during a
backup.
- bat should now handle non-English characters.
- ./configure now permits --enable-batch-insert (as well as --disable...).
This feature is enabled by default if your SQL libraries are thread
safe.
- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
For more details, please see the ChangeLog.
Thanks to the regression testers for their work. :-)
Best regards,
Kern
