2 Release Notes for Bacula 7.2.0

4 Release version 7.2.0
5
6 Bacula code: Total files = 733 Total lines = 303,426
7 The diff between Bacula 7.0.6 and Bacula 7.2.0 is 254,442
8 which represents very large change, for the most part
9 contributed to the Bacula project by Bacula Systems SA.
10
11 This is a major new release with many new features and a
12 number of changes. Please take care to test this code carefully
13 before putting it into production. Although the new features
14 have been tested, they have not run in a production environment.
15
16 ============== !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ===================
17 New Catalog format in version 7.2.0 and greater
18 -----------------------------------------------
19 This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a script
20 (update_bacula_tables in bacula/src/cats and in bacula/updatedb) that
21 will update from Bacula 3.x, 5.2, or 7.0 to version 7.2.0 format.
22 The database upgrade is fast and simply. As always we strongly
23 recommand that you make a dump of your database prior to doing the
24 upgrade.
25
26 NOTE: The upgrade will work only for PostgreSQL and MySQL. Upgrading is
27 not (yet) supported for SQLite3.
28 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
29
30
31 For packagers, if you change options, naming, and the way
32 we link our shared object files, as at least one of you does,
33 you are creating a situation where the user may not be able
34 to run multiple versions of Bacula on the same machine, which
35 is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration
36 that the project cannot properly support.
37
38 Please note that the documentation has significantly changed.
39 You will need additional packages to build it such as inkscape.
40 Please see the README and README.pct files in the docs directory.
41 The packages come with pre-build English pdf and html files,
42 which are located in the docs/docs/manuals/en/pdf-and-html directory.
43
44 Packagers: please note that the Bacula LICENSE has changed, it is still
45 AGPLv3 and still open source. A new requirement has been added which
46 requires other projects using the source to keep the acreditations.
47
48 Packagers: please note that the docs license has changed. It is now
49 licensed: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International
50 This is a common open source license.
51 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
52
53 Compatibility:
54 --------------
55 As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded
56 at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
57 or Storage daemon must be of the same version.
58
59 Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.2.0 Director and Storage
60 daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons. However,
61 this has not been fully tested yet. Since we expect some problems, please
62 test before putting it into production.
63
64 New Features:
65 Please see the New Features chapter of the manual for documentation on
66 the new features. The new features are currently only in the New Features
67 chapter and have not yet been integrated into the main chapters of the
68 manual. Also, since there were so many new features, it is possible that
69 a few that previously existed in version 7.0.x are documented a second
70 time in the 7.2.0 new features section.
