183 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
185 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
188 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
189 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
191 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
192 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
193 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
194 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
195 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
196 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
198 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
199 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.

213 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
214 should be enclosed in double quotes.
215 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
216 it should normally be off in a production system.
218 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
219 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
220 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
221 is now owned by the device.

239 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
240 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
241 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
242 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
243 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
244 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.

247 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
248 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
250 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

275 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
276 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
277 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
278 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
280 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
281 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
283 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
284 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
285 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
287 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
288 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
289 amount of duplicated code.
290 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
291 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
292 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
294 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
296 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
297 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
298 Fix sql stuff for mysql
300 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
301 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
302 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
303 of other prune/purge subroutines.
304 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
305 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
307 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
308 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
309 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
310 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
311 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
313 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
314 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
316 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
317 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
318 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
319 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
320 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
321 and bacula access to the DB.
322 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
323 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
324 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
325 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
326 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
327 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
328 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
330 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
331 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
332 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
334 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
335 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
338 kes Extend new GUI API.

345 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
347 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
349 kes More bat implementation.
350 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
351 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
352 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
353 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
354 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
355 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
356 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
357 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
359 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
362 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
363 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
364 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
365 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
367 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
368 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
370 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
371 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
373 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.

377 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
379 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
381 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
382 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
384 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
385 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
386 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
388 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
389 than English. Fixes bug #788.
391 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
393 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
394 It will be fixed soon.
395 If you want to use this, you can apply
396 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
398 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
399 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
400 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
401 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
402 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
403 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
404 update volume=xxx frompool
405 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
408 RecyclePool = Scratch
412 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
413 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
414 that returns more information and will make it easier
415 to interface to the Director from a program.
417 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
418 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
419 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
420 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
421 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
422 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
423 the Changer Command to an empty string.
425 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
426 in a single write() request rather than in two.
427 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
428 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
430 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
431 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
432 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
433 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
435 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
436 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.

440 was opened, it is closed.
442 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
443 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
444 in the case of orphaned records.
445 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
446 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
447 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
448 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
449 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
450 happens to the ScratchPool?
451 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
452 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
453 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
454 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
455 times are in Bacula units.
456 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
458 kes Update projects list.
460 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
461 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
462 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
463 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
464 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
466 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
467 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
468 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
470 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
471 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
473 Switch to using Subversion
474 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
476 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
477 plus the entrypoints.
478 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
479 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
480 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
482 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
483 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
485 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
486 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
487 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
489 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
490 problem is with read or append.
492 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
493 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
494 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
495 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
496 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
497 (i.e. migration jobs).
498 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
499 a memory leak problem.
500 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
501 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
502 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
503 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
504 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
505 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
506 (hides some of the ugly casting).
507 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
508 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
509 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
510 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
511 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
512 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
513 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
514 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
515 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
517 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
519 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
520 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
521 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by

526 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
527 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
529 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
530 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
531 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
532 other DIR specifications.
534 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
535 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
536 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
538 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
540 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
541 backup. This should fix bug #755.
542 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
546 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
547 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
548 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
550 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
552 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
553 This *should* fix bug #747.
554 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
557 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
558 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
559 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
560 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
561 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
562 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
564 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
565 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
