Hello,
I have just released Bacula 1.38.1 source code (compressed tar files) to
Source Forge. I have also included the 1.38.1 Win32 binaries. This release
is primarily a bug fix release to 1.38.0. There are, however, two new
"features":
1. If you have a single drive autochanger, labelling and other operations on
the autochanger will not prompt you for the drive number.
2. When you "unmount" an autochanger drive, the drive will be unloaded.
Previously the tape was left in the drive.
The major bug fixes and changes since version 1.38.0 are:
- A number of fixes to wx-windows (Nicolas Boichat)
- Corrected ACL for Solaris (David Duchscher and Attila Fulop).
- Add bacula_mail_summary.sh to examples directory. It makes
a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted
by Adrew J. Millar.
- Unmount command now unloads autochanger.
- Fix hang in FD (Martin Simmons)
- Fix Win98 stat() problem in FD (Thorsten Engel)
- Fix update slots which did not clear missing tapes.
- Fix autostart install for FreeBSD (user reported)
- Fix several problems with PostgreSQL scripts (Eric Bollinger)
- Critical: allow restore of the first file of non-portable Win32 backup.
- Important: with muliple concurrent jobs the autochanger could get
confused because of a missing mutex.
- Fix accessing last slot in label and update slots.
- Modify configure.in to add execute option to sqlite3 catalog
scripts.
- Create update_xxx_table_8_to_9 scripts for updatedb
- Move the -lcrypt for PostgreSQL after the PostgreSQL libs in
autoconf/bacula-macros/db.m4 as suggested by user. Fixes bug #457.
- Remove @STATIC_CONS@ from tray-monitor Makefile as suggested
by user. Fixes bug #456.
- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below in the main ReleaseNotes !!!!
There still remain a few problems with the new autochanger code that will work
on in the future. As far as I am aware, there are no problems with 1.36.3
functionality. There *have* been a number of reports from users concerning
polling and a few "hangs". To the best of my ability, I have looked into
them all, and as far as I can tell, nothing is related to version 1.38 -- all
the reported problems that I can reproduce also occur in 1.36.3. A number of
the problems seem to be related to users not having a tape in the drive or
doing "Offline on Unmount = yes" while running under a 2.6 kernel. I have
already discussed this issue in a previous email, and hopefully I will be
able to improve how Bacula deals with this in the future ...
Thanks to everyone who contributed to 1.38.0 and to this release. I am really
pleased to see so much participation. A number of the names of code
contributors are mentioned above, but there are a good number of other users
who have contributed in many ways -- financial support, email support, bug
reporting/fixes, submittted code in the pipeline, ... Thanks to everyone.
This might be called the "release and run" release because I will be out for a
few days (another back operation -- groan), but hopefully I will have
Internet access.

Best regards,
Kern
