23 I needed to initialize the used volume list before
24 firing off the device initialization thread.
27 - Make sure that bpipe results are zapped even on

86 on Win32 systems. Fixes bug report.
88 - Tweak dvd-writepart script to prevent door from opening/closing
90 - Remove GROUP BY in several PostgreSQL commands to prevent error.
92 - Ensure that < as first character of filename list is not treated

529 - Modify end of volume handling so that fixup_... does not
530 redo what block.c has already done -- writing Vol info to
531 DIR. This fixes a bug with bad numbers of files on a tape
532 when it filled as reported by Peter.
533 - In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
534 info if the the information was already written at the
537 - NOTE!!!! This version has a new DIR <--> SD protocol. Both
538 must be updated at the same time.

556 if the drive is not available. Note! This is a short
559 - Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
560 - Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
561 from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
562 - Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
563 do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
564 - Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
565 to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
566 and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
567 - Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
568 failed the job to use the new device wait code.
570 - Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.

583 - Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
584 open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no
585 volume mounted). This gives a bit of settling in time
586 for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
587 - Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
588 - Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
589 - Fix a typo in an error message.
591 - Detect if fseeko exists with autoconf. If so, use it
593 - Remove old bacula-*.conf from examples directory (out
595 - Remove latex-fr index files from CVS.
596 - Rewrite code that stops reading the tape so that the
597 tape is marked at EOT, then once the work is done,
598 the EOT flag is removed.
599 - Flush output to file after every send in console.
600 - Make setting VolFiles to smaller number fatal.
601 - Disable Multiple Connections code.

618 - Add a second job and a second client to the default
619 bacula-dir.conf file.
620 - Remove old style Include/Excludes.
621 - Fix ANSI labels to put EOF1 and EOF2 after each file mark.
622 - Add Python to SD and FD.
624 - Implement IBM labels
625 - Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
626 - Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
627 passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
628 Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
629 the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
630 This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
631 card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
632 - The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.
636 - Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.
638 - Add new ua_update.c file and move update_cmd there.

645 it attempts to restore the permissions on a Win32 drive.
646 - Edit "Resource-name" (physical-name) for the device name

857 still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
858 a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
860 - Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
861 - Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
862 when the FD connects to the SD.

872 and acl_to_text? *****/
877 - Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
878 - Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
880 - Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
881 of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
882 - Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.
886 - Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s

904 and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
905 acl.c because of errors. The new code, when fully implemented
906 moves platform specific code into acl.c.
907 One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
909 - Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
910 - Fix some typos in the previous commit.

938 - Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
940 - Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
941 three patches that clean up white space:

944 if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
945 ws.patch.03.trailing:
946 This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for

971 the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
972 extensions on all platforms.
973 - While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
974 boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
975 a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
976 updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
977 - Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
978 to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
979 - Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
980 option (no write) to work.

1261 - Fix btape "test" and "fill" commands to work with new SD
1262 data structures. There are still problems ...
1264 - Correct buffer length passed to inet_ntop() in address_conf.c
1265 - Increase the debug level of a lot of messages to reduce the
1267 - Modify how ST_APPEND is handled so that nothing is written
1268 to the Volume if it is not set. It is now set only when
1269 the Volume label is verified, and released when the volume
1270 is released. This required a number of minor but rather
1271 critical and fundamental changes.
1272 - Improve quickly terminating a job in the SD when it errs.
1273 More status checking and a few additional checks on
1274 job_canceled() and check more error return statuses.
1275 - Added a number of debug statements (to be removed later) that
1276 check the VolCatName for a name.
1277 - Create a single subroutine that handles terminating writing
1278 on a Volume at the end of the volume (or after an error).
1279 - Continued to add use of the berrno classs for strerror().
1281 - Apply conio patches supplied by Peter Eriksson for configure.in
1282 conio.h and conio.c to make it work better on Solaris.
1283 - Make run_grub print manual procedure for installing grub
1284 - Add extra setsockopt keepalive.
1285 - Add code to set as many options as possible in the system
1286 tape driver for different OSes.
1288 - Apply Peter Eriksson's patch to configure.in fixes finding
1289 correct libs on Solaris to link conio -- bug 121
1290 - Add expected number of files to Verify VolumeToCatalog, and
1291 if it does not equal the examined files, fail the job.
1293 - Modify the depend section of each Makefile.in to reference $(CXX)
1294 instead of $(CC) -- bug 118
1295 - Remove the word "restore" from the Volumes needed message in
1296 dird/bsr.c since the message is used for Restore and Verify.
1297 - Fix initialization and copying of the storage resource when
1298 starting jobs (and in jobq.c when restarting). In some cases
1299 jcr->store was not set causing a segfault -- bug 116
1302 - Pass EndFile and EndBlock to SD.
1304 - Fixed bscan to close() drive between tapes.
1305 - Turn on transactions for SQLite and PostgreSQL if
1306 multiple connections are turned on.
1307 - Removed stripping of filename in ua_tree insertion routine.
1308 - Fix split_path_and_filename() routines to return zero length
1310 - Modify update_tables scripts to convert a single blank filename
1311 into an empty filename.
1312 - Incremented the release number because this version requires
1313 an update to the database.
1316 ./update_bacula_tables
1317 to update an existing database.
1318 - Implemented EndFile and EndBlock in the Media record. This will
1319 allow Bacula to know exactly when to stop reading a tape if the
1320 stupid tape driver does not give a logical end of tape indication
1321 and Bacula writes to the end of the tape getting an I/O error.
1322 - Added new routines to update the database, and there are
1323 new database creation routines to add the two new Media columns.
1324 - The Media record is updated each time a JobMedia record is created.
1325 This keeps the Media record up to date.
1326 - Undid the code to use automatic type converions to char * in
1327 POOL_MEM. This is due to the ugly consequences of essentially
1328 destroying the class type nature of the class.
1329 - Removed all the old mp_char() #define code.
1333 - Add additional doc.
1334 - Implement automatic POOL_MEM type conversion to char *. Thanks
1335 to Martin Simmons for the suggestion.
1336 - Remove some unneeded function overloading -- need removed by
1337 automatic type conversion.
1339 - Correct segfault in message.c with debug=200 (new code).
1340 - Fix bug 109 verify with no options prints garbage.
1341 - Add ioctl(MTIOCGET) call to clrerror_dev() in dev.c. As reported
1342 by Frank Kardel, this should clear error conditions on NetBSD.
1344 - Modify the rescue script to create mount_drives with
1345 the order specified by Philip Nash (mkdir, mount).
1346 - Tweak install chapter of French manual to add new paragraph
1348 - Tweak restore tree message to be a bit clearer.
1349 - Modify watchdog to wakeup after 60 seconds, or wakeup if
1350 there is work to do.
1351 - Modify watchdog stop routine to "ping" watchdog so that it
1352 stops immediately rather than after sleep time.
1353 - Fix btape to use new dcr blocks rather than its own.
1354 - Fix butil.c to correctly handle Volume names for the
1355 utility routines (broke when updating to dcrs).
1356 11-19Sep04 (vacation)
1357 - Implement multiple Storage specifications in the Job resource
1358 (AND) each containing multiple specifications (OR). Not yet functional.
1359 Note, this needs more work as most things now use
1360 job->storage[0]->first() rather than looping through devices.
1361 - Implement "Multiple connections = yes/no" in Catalog record for
1362 allowing multiple simultaneous connections to the database.
1363 - Add new mac.c (Migrate, Archive, Copy) to dird -- not yet implemented.
1364 - Implement a new POOL_MEM class that automatically allocates
1365 and deallocates a pool buffer.
1366 - Overload a number of utility routines to permit using both
1367 POOLMEM and POOL_MEM.
1368 - Start converting to using POOL_MEM.
1369 - There were a number of Bacula console ACL checks missing in
1370 ua_run.c. It allowed users to run jobs they really should not.
1371 - Correct a number of dates on the Copyright.
1372 - Overload pm_strcpy() and pm_strcat() to handle new POOL_MEM
1374 - Overload bash/unbash_spaces to handle new POOL_MEM class.
1375 - Make a *MASSIVE* pass through the Storage daemon eliminating
1376 all use of jcr->VolumeName and jcr->VolCatInfo in favor of
1378 - Eliminate all all redundant arguments from calling sequences
1379 in SD. This poses a number of problems due to the old way blocks
1380 and records were allocated and released all the time. They are
1381 now contained in the dcr. The problem is that old habits die hard
1382 and there are still places where everything is not right.
1383 - Implement "Block positioning = yes/no" in Device resource in SD.
1387 - Add "Multiple Connections = yes/no" in catalog record. Only
1388 the variable is implemented, no code yet.
1389 - Close *all* FD unless debug on.
1391 - Add first cut of UTF-8 support to conio. It "seems" to be working
1392 pretty well. Moving by words will definitely not work though.
1393 - Improve detection and setting of gateway in the
1394 network_start script.
1396 - Modify scan code so that in most places scanning will
1397 continue across the end of a line.
1399 - Begin major phase of 1.35 documentation.
1400 - All outstanding bugs are fixed.
1401 - Implement changes and improvements to rescue scripts as
1404 - Add correction to Phil's previous patch.
1405 - Send all queued messages in SD and FD prior to closing down
1407 - Send queued messages in Jobs before terminating the job
1408 so that the messages print before the job report.
1409 - Add a destructor so that the Console ACLs are properly
1412 - Implement isolinux boot disk.
1413 - Integrate Phil Stracchino's code (thanks for Matt's help).
1414 It permits lists and ranges of jobids on the delete as in:
1415 delete job jobid=1,3,5,11-16
1417 - Apply Mike Acar's suggestion when looking for the next volume
1418 to check purged volumes for recycling before doing a purge.
1419 - Make some improvements to CDROM disk.
1420 - Take another crack at ignoring drive open() errors during
1423 - Add eliminate orphaned job records; eliminate admin records,
1424 and eliminate restore records to dbcheck.
1425 - replace sprintf by bsnprintf() in dbcheck.
1426 - Added scan target to makefile in rescue cd to print scsi
1428 - Added argument to berrno::strerror() to pass errno.
1429 - Cleaned up a few more old strerror() calls and eliminated a
1430 few of the now unnecessary set_errno() calls.
1431 - Fixed a bug in the polling code that prevented more than 100
1432 label reads (insanity check disabled if polling).
1433 - Ignore bad return from open_device() if polling.
1434 - Short circuit code if fatal error return from read_label() in
1437 - Add index file to JobId field of File records for PostgreSQL.
1438 - Correct several bugs in the job queue scheduler concerning
1439 rescheduled jobs: 1. The SD status was not cleared causing a
1440 wrong status to be displayed by Dir after rescheduling. 2. All
1441 rescheduled jobs became zombies because the jcr use_count was
1442 not decremented properly.
1443 - Make the Catalog resource required in Client records.
1444 - Order the listing of where a file is (item 2 on the restore
1446 - Clarify when a filename only and a full path + filename must
1447 be entered in items 2 and 8 of the restore menu.
1448 - Fix logic error in resolution of names on IPv4 systems.
1450 Changes to 1.35.2 released 01Sep04:
1452 - Inhibit printing of FileSet for a restore as it is misleading.
1453 - Cleaned up a number of minor scripting problems with the CDROM
1455 - Fixed a race condition causing a Director crash on termination,
1456 if a large number of SIGHUPs were sent during a multiple concurrent
1459 - Completed integration of Rescue CD scripts with Bacula source.
1461 - Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
1462 - Added more error checking to the spooling code.
1464 - Applied a patch from Peter Eriksson that removes a dynamic stack
1465 allocation (replaced by alloca) and fixes some const problems.
1466 - Fixed a free() of a static variable in the new IP code bnet.c
1467 - Got the new Bacula Rescue CDROM booting.
1468 - Replaced a dynamic template by a simple store when using the
1470 - Reworked some of the block.c error handling.
1471 - Changed a Dmsgx(000, to Dmsgx(100 in dev.c that was dumping
1472 debug output on a user.
1473 - Integrated patch from 1.34.6 block.c to 1.35
1475 - Fix conio.c problem on Solaris.
1476 - Add debug code to lock_jcr_chain().
1477 - Lock jcr chain around less code.
1478 - Implement call by reference for Mmsg() and pm_strxxx() to
1480 - New IP address specification is used as follows:
1481 [sdaddresses|diraddresses|fdaddresses] = { [[ip|ipv4|ipv6] = {
1482 [[addr|port] = [^ ]+[\n;]+] }] }
1484 so it could look for example like this:
1485 SDaddresses = { ip = {
1486 addr = 1.2.3.4; port = 1205; }
1488 addr = 1.2.3.4; port = http; }
1501 addr = 2001:220:222::2
1504 addr = bluedot.thun.net
1507 as a consequence, you can now specify multiple IP addresses and
1508 ports to be used. In the case of a server, it will listen on
1509 all those that you specify. In the case of connecting to the server,
1510 Bacula will attempt connecting to one at a time until it succeeds.
1511 And, in a few other special cases, Bacula will use only the first
1514 The default port numbers are still the same and the services and hosts
1515 are also resolved by name. So now you could use the real names for the
1520 - Print error message if Alert Command fails in bpipe_open().
1521 - Doc Alert command.
1522 - Eliminate unnecessary class in findlib/attribs.c
1523 - Add necessary empty files to new tray-monitor directory.
1525 - Implement Class with template in findlib/attribs.c to do casting
1526 of uint64_t into stat packet types to avoid compiler warnings.
1527 Thanks to Meno for this idea.
1528 - Make some modifications to satisfy VC++.
1529 - Apply Martin Simmons' second patch to compat.cpp to fix the line
1530 I previously missed.
1531 - Apply Meno's fix to bnet that corrects use of ipaddr after free_addresses,
1532 back out my kludges, and it works.
1533 - Modified configure.in to by default add -Wall.
1535 - Found some problems with printing IP addresses -- will notify Meno.
1536 - Added printing Pool to Job report.
1537 - Fixed several places where dlists were not being released
1538 (term_job_server, ...)
1539 - Started implementing New() for dlists. Spent a lot of time,
1540 but could not get it to work.
1541 - Fixed a mutex deadlock between the job queue scheduler and the
1543 - Made add_address() static.
1544 - Added bsnprintf to address_conf.c
1546 - Apply Marin Simmons patch to inet_aton() in compat.
1548 - Build on Win32 -- required a few changes because of new IP code.
1549 - Implement program reader code in Dir and FD -- not tested, and
1550 a few corrections for writer code are needed in FD.
1551 - Rework SQL for pruning. Add Admin pruning. Prune failed
1552 jobs in Verify and Restore.
1553 - Don't put commas in listing produced in restore so that users
1554 can cut and past JobIds without having commas in the way.
1555 - Change size_t to socklen_t in filed.c -- reindent a bit.
1556 - Remove addr_list->size from buf size definition in bnet.c

1578 - Update all pools in all DBs when starting the Director.
1580 - Implement final cut of berrno and update Win32 code.
1581 - Update copyright to include a termination clause. Add copyright to
1583 - Implement .backups client=xxx for Nicolas.
1585 - Make first cut at implementing berrno class to handle Unix, Win32
1586 and bpipe errors. Bpipe still needs to be implemented.
1587 This fixes (not yet tested) the Win32 errno problems in the compat lib.
1588 - Fix btape compile problem reported by Martin Simmons -- thanks.
1589 - Add ./configure detection of sys/tape.h
1591 - Apply two fixes to recent changes to dev.c submitted by

1597 - Fix bscan, which did not handle walking dcr list.
1598 - Remove old attach_jcr_to_device() code.
1599 - Fix config from Andy Wettstein's patch to use bitypes.h and detect
1600 uint32_t, ... definitions.
1601 - Fix a few compiler warnings because of casting pointers to int and
1603 - Do some minor cosmetics to query.sql. nothing changed.

1614 - Print a message when query.sql moved to query.sql.old during install.
1615 - Move setting of FreeBSD chflags() to after utime() to avoid error
1616 messages is immutable bit is set.
1618 - Turn off heartbeat in FD when -s is given so that we can
1619 debug without a flood of signals.
1620 - Close and reopen the device during an append test in
1621 btape. This better tests appending as if Bacula stops/restarts.
1622 - Remove old attach/detach_jcr_to_device() code
1623 - Add new attached_dcrs code.
1624 - Remove unnecessary subroutine for bsnprintf.

1635 - Many more DCR changes.
1636 - Add job message indicating that the job has been rescheduled
1638 - Fix job end time so that it is always updated. Previously it
1639 was not updated when a job was rescheduled.
1640 - Correct SQL for restoring job by path/name. It could sometimes
1641 pickup the wrong JobId -- submitted by a user.
1642 - Add a number of "%s" in editing database errors -- security issue.
1643 - Ensure that the NumVols is incremented and decremented in the
1644 pool record when Volumes are created or deleted.
1645 - Cleanup error handling when labeling a tape. If vol was read-only,
1646 the device would still be marked as having found a label.
1648 - Put ftCreationTime into st_ctime of stat packet. Hopefully
1649 this will fix the problem of noticing files have been moved
1650 into the save path after a Full save.
1651 - Fix bug in "status dir" where not all entries are listed.
1652 - Cleanup some improper result printing in configure.

1659 - Add debug code for memset checking for zeroing 1900-3000 bytes
1660 which is what happened to the block headers.
1661 - If block header is destroyed, read the next block. Probably
1662 should return with new status similar to the SHORT block
1664 - Add more debug info to bls for bad blocks.
1665 - More implementation of DCRs.
1667 - Eliminate argument passing in SD by using dcr.
1668 - More int->bool conversions.

1679 - Add Regular expressions to FileSet options.
1680 - Correct configure.in to use ${MAKE} for doing the dependencies.
1681 - Make MySQL and PostgreSQL try for 30 seconds to connect before
1683 - Correct Gnome 1.4 Makefile to build without cats library.
1684 - Correct a crash reported (with patch) by Jonathan Soong
1685 when attempting to backup an ACL on a symlinked file.
1687 - Fixed an off by one bug in the new resources pointer code.
1688 res_head array was one too small.
1689 - Added Errors to last_job list. This allows detecting jobs
1690 that terminated in a warning.
1691 - Implement setting the Win32 icon to yellow instead of red
1692 when the job terminated OK but with warnings.
1693 - Fix the Win32 makefile and VC project file. The links were
1694 not including the Win32 dlls.
1695 - Delete some old Win32 code that was turned off.
1696 - Eliminate a few more Win32 compiler warnings.
1697 - Reduce the output produced by NIS (Win32 install builder).
1698 - Simplify some of the #ifdefing in compat.h
1700 - Rewrite spooling error handling when I/O error occurs. It is
1701 a bit tricky, requiring to truncate the file so that a despooling
1702 will work correctly. Needs to be tested.
1703 - Make better subroutines for setting up for a new job.
1704 - Start putting all DB ids on #defines (going to 64 bits).
1705 - Fix gnome-console Makefile.in to work again.
1706 - All "level=Incremental/Decremental" to the estimate command. This
1707 required some re-arrangement of subroutines at a fairly low level.
1709 - Apply Piotr Jaworski's patch (patch-r-status.diff) to update the
1710 catalog status when a backup job starts running.
1712 - Add (char*) cast to readline call in console.c for old readlines.
1713 - Copy Makefile.in from gnome2-console to gnome-console (to eliminate
1714 need for cats library).
1715 - Modify spooling code to handle write error (e.g. spooling disk full)
1716 more gracefully. Previously despooling would fail.
1718 - Reduce casting in smartall.c a bit and add counters for
1719 bytes, max_bytes, buffers and max_buffers.
1720 - Fixed reload algorithm to stack both job end callback and the
1722 - Fixed the orphaned buffer after reload (job_end_push had to be
1724 - Destroy cond var (jcr->term_wait) only if initialized.
1726 - Sort the Scheduled Jobs list by start-time, priority.
1727 - Implement resources on a pointer.
1728 - Fix Gnome console crash on up/down arrow with no history.
1730 - Finish first cut of SIGHUP code. To make really work need res
1731 on a single pointer rather than in fixed memory.
1732 - Fix a number of places in query.sql where multiple JobIds are
1733 printed (due to JobMedia records).
1734 - Add new query: List jobs on Volume given Volume name.
1735 - Correct socket close on Win32 in bnet.c (in addition to compat.cpp).
1736 Caused fd leak in Win32 for each connection.
1737 - Remove vol labeled test in askdir update_volume_info so that non-labeled
1738 Volume in catalog can be marked in error.
1739 - Close socket in SD when connection rejected. Caused fd leaks.
1740 - Initialize job_start_wait cond variable after every new_jcr() otherwise
1741 NetBSD gets error in library when trying to delete it without being inited.
1742 - Fix typo (9 instead of 0) return status in write_new_volume_label.
1743 - Fix mount.c to call routine that correctly marks a volume in error.
1744 - Move code to rewrite volume label to subroutine -- a bit cleaner.
1746 - Finish implementation and testing of new restore tree code.
1747 - Implement feedback while tree is loading.
1748 - Eliminate printing INFO message in UpdateDB (cats) -- it generates
1749 "false" error messages.
1750 - Eliminate some GTK error messages when running the Gnome2 console.
1752 - Begin restructuring tree.c for inclusion of the binary_insert()
1754 - Apply Peter Eriksson's lib file order changes in linking for IRIX.
1755 - Abort configure if Internal is selected as the database.
1756 - Add testimonials to the Web page
1757 - Add the bugs list to the Web page "lists".
1758 - Clarify the English in SuSE and Slackware when SD not running.
1760 - Applied another extern "C" patch from Peter Eriksson.
1761 - Fixed a bunch of VC warning messages.
1762 - Applied the patches sent by Andreas Jellinghaus: build Gnome and
1763 wx-console in client-only build if configured; add ./configure option
1764 to permit setting of sbin modes -- default is 0745 as before; remove
1765 cats library from Gnome console build; remove old version from Gnome
1766 About box. Thanks Andreas.
1768 - Applied Peter Eriksson's const changes to the source code. Thanks Peter.
1769 - Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used
1770 in the restore tree routines.
1771 - Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which
1772 are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit
1773 behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*.
1775 2004-07-30 Version 1.34.6 28Jul04 Release
1777 - Fix a restore bug where the backups could be
1778 applied out of proper order possibly restoring an old version
1780 - Fix for restore selection of a file by name, where it was
1781 possible to select a file from the wrong Client.
1782 - Fix segmentation fault during backup of a symbolic link
1783 with ACLs turned on.
1784 - Fix a minor compile error in wx-console.
1785 - Fix a bug in despooling when the spooling disk partition becomes
1786 totally filed or gets I/O errors.
1787 - Fix a memory leak in PostgreSQL, and make Bacula retry 5 times if
1788 connecting to the DB fails.
1789 - Retry 5 times if connect to MySQL failes.
1790 - Fix linking the gnome-console
1792 2004-06-22 Version 1.34.5 21Jun04 Release
1794 - Fixed Gnome crash on up/down arrow with no history.
1795 - Fixed btape "fill" crash with multiple tape option.
1797 - Fix a number of places in query.sql where multiple JobIds are
1798 printed (due to JobMedia records).
1799 - Add new query: List jobs on Volume given Volume name.
1800 - Correct socket close on Win32 in bnet.c (in addition to compat.cpp).
1801 Caused fd leak in Win32 for each connection.
1802 - Remove vol labeled test in askdir update_volume_info so that non-labeled
1803 Volume in catalog can be marked in error.
1804 - Close socket in SD when connection rejected. Caused fd leaks.

1821 wx-console in client-only build if configured; add ./configure option
1822 to permit setting of sbin modes -- default is 0745 as before; remove
1823 cats library from Gnome console build; remove old version from Gnome
1824 About box. Thanks Andreas.

1863 execution on Win32 to search the path and use COMSPEC. New rules
1865 - Fix UpdateDB to complain if mum_rows < 1 rather than != 1.
1868 2004-06-09 Version 1.34.3 09Jun04 Release
1870 - Add missing FT codes in new FileSet callback, which caused error

1924 - Fix autochanger.c not to attempt to unload a slot if the prior loaded
1925 request returned -1.
1927 - In testing for Mike Acar's problem. I *finally* found and nailed

1941 PostgreSQL on debian.
1942 - Rework File Options document
1943 - Re-begin work on File Options.

1973 overall view of Bacula.
1974 - Changed textdomain to be "bacula" in all progs.
1975 - Fixed a major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple
1976 simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had

1978 and CPU usage. Reported by Michel Meyers.
1979 - Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings
1980 if any warning messages were generated.
1981 - Change output of restore report to indicate:
1982 "Restore OK -- warning file count mismatch"
1983 - Make backup report say "Backup OK with warnings" if either FD or SD
1984 report any non-fatal errors.
1985 - Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...)
1988 - Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...)
1991 - Added --enable-wx-console and updated Makefile.in
1992 - Fix mtx-changer so that the calling sequence is compatible
1993 with the previous version (the new one required arguments that
1994 were not necessarily used).
1995 - Document how to use stunnel with Bacula.
1997 - Fix crash in query command.
1998 - Remove schedule from the default restore job.
1999 - Fix data spooler to use min/max tape blocking factors.

2021 schedule. Thanks to Matt Howard for this.
2024 2004-04-06 Version 1.34.0 06Apr04 Release
2026 - Turn off SIGQUIT in console.
2028 - A good number of document updates.
2029 - Fixed the order which multiple files are accepted for
2030 inclusion in the restore tree due to the fact that PostgreSQL
2031 returns files in a different order from their insertion.
2033 - Fix autochanger test in btape. It used old editing routines.
2034 - Fix run_program to return 0 if program runs and no output.
2035 - Add more debug to run_program.

2050 - Update dbcheck to fix Paths without a trailing slash and Filenames
2051 with a trailing slash.
2053 - Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes
2054 Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely
2055 this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running
2056 the daemon with this option in production.
2057 - Tweaked the Makefile not to create the gnome directories except
2058 when doing a gnome install.
2060 - Implement Qmsg() queuing of messages to prevent recursion especially
2061 for bnet.c where recursion is fatal.
2062 - Add detection of ncurses if the termcap lib is not found.
2063 - Tweak winabout -- start cleanup.
2064 - Fix dlist again, when list is destroyed, be sure to null head and
2067 - Make the default for restore to have nothing marked.
2068 - The "all" keyword on the restore command marks everything by
2070 - The "done" keyword on the restore command prevents user interaction
2071 with the tree routines -- used mainly for scripting (regression ...).
2072 - Correct a bug in the last_sibling code.
2073 - Add alphabetic sorting of siblings so the "dir" and "ls" commands
2074 during restore show files in alphabetic order.
2076 - Based on Mike Acar's suggestions rework tree insert routines. Improve
2077 performance by using a last_sibling link for inserts.
2079 - Apply corrected SQL to sql_get.c supplied by Dan Langille.
2080 - Implement "delete job jobid=xxx jobid=yyy ..."
2081 - Implement "purge volume=xxx volume=yyy ..."
2082 - Fix buffer overrun in query string substitution.
2084 - Fix bad format %s instead of %d for editing new slot in update volume.
2085 Reported by Vadim Zotov.
2086 - Better error diagnostics in ./configure for detecting termcap library.
2088 - Restore old sql.c split_path and file name since it seems to have
2089 broken the Verify stuff.
2091 - Hunt down missing free_locked_jcr() in SD that caused zombies.
2092 - Modify status outputs to be more consistent for zombie checking.
2093 - Add tests to regression script for zombie jobs.
2094 - Set EIO in dev_errno for all error returns when bad data found. This
2095 fixes ERR=Success messages.
2096 - Make error messages all contain ERROR for easy regression testing.
2097 - Add sanity check in DIR for VolFiles becoming smaller.
2099 - Second cut GTK+ restore GUI. Ready for testing but much more to do.
2100 - Phil reported an sql path length=0 message. This broke saves of
2101 / -- fixed in scan.c
2102 - Fixed seg fault in btape "test" due to missing allocation of dcr.
2103 - Tweaked some btape messages.
2104 - Sort Volume names in Job report according to the order they were
2105 written -- user request.
2107 - First cut GTK+ restore GUI.
2108 - Applied bsmtp patch supplied by a user. Thanks.
2109 - Made a new split_path_and_filename() subroutine -- in lib/scan.c
2111 - Fix "typos" in RedHat install-autostart Makefile.in
2113 - Added two tar files that Phil sent for adding slackware support.
2114 Thanks Phil and Matt Howard.
2115 - Fix relabel command -- || should have been &&.
2116 - Correct once more the scheduling algorithm -- this time it should
2119 - Implement simple spool statistics printed by "status sd".
2120 - Cleanup/add spool error messages.
2121 - On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly.
2122 - Implement code to select a different Volume in the SD if the
2123 current Volume is busy -- requested by Patrick Cole.
2124 - Change postgreSQL make tables to use bigint instead of integer
2125 for StartBlock and EndBlock because
2126 there is no unsigned integer in postgreSQL and these fields use 32 bits.
2127 - Implement multiple drive autochanger support -- prompted by email of
2130 - Update version and date in Win32 build.
2131 - Fix bug in run_conf with month range zapping wday and wom.
2132 - Correct editing of port for PQsetdbLogin in postgresql.c as reported
2133 by J. Conroy, and do a second try.
2135 - Integrate Phil's Makefile patch.
2136 - Add SpoolDirectory to SD Device resource.
2137 - Add MaximumJobSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
2138 - Add MaximumSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
2139 - Implement the above.
2140 - Make despooling lock the device so only it writes
2141 to the device during despooling.
2143 - Data spooling now passes the regression tests.
2144 - Added "Files Expected" to the restore job report.
2145 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Job resource
2146 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Run overrides.
2147 - Note, you must have a 1.33.4-09Mar05 SD or later with the Director since
2148 the DIR->SD protocol has changed to support data spooling.
2149 - Remove the confusing "Which DBMS do you want to use (please select only one):"
2150 messages from ./configure.
2151 - Fix broken Jmsg with missing argument in find_one.c
2153 - Second cut data spooling code.
2154 - Fix missing piece of yesterday's patch.
2156 - Integrate patches supplied by Jason Conroy that fix Slot numbers
2159 - This version contains a *major* addition to the SD structures.
2160 Many variables have been moved out of the JCR into a new DCR
2161 (Device Context Record). This required quite a few changes, and
2162 introduced a bit of instability. In the end, after a few more
2163 rounds of changes, the DCR will replace virtually all arguments
2164 to the low level SD read/write routines. This change permits
2165 (with a bit more code) the SD to write to multiple devices at
2166 the same time for a single Job. It also facilitates adding the
2168 - Added a patch that fixed the port specification for postgresql.
2169 - Fixed findlib/find_one.c so that it will complain about backing
2170 up a hard linked file twice, which makes a restore impossible.
2171 - Tighten up permissions on pid file.
2172 - Attempt to avoid warnings when casting 64 bit pointers to an
2174 - Added skeleton code for data spooling.
2175 - Make sure spooled attributes are discarded on error.
2177 - Updated getdiskinfo in rescue/linux to handle the fact that the
2178 sfdisk -s option now includes info on partitions. Also, before
2179 creating the diskinfo files, clean out the old ones.
2181 - Add debug and error output to jobq.c
2182 - Fix some minor errors in debug output of scheduler.c
2183 - Add "trace on/off" command and modify trace code in message.c
2184 to work off trace flag rather than #defines.
2186 - If console is found during install warn user (new name is bconsole).
2187 - On install copy console.conf to bconsole.conf if it exists.
2188 - Make RunAfterJob error non-fatal.
2189 - Rework minor details in status output.
2190 - Attempt to define all values for "consoles" in JCR to avoid
2193 - Use net start bacula to start Bacula on WinXP/NT/2K
2194 systems after installation.
2195 - Change a few strcpy()s to bstrncpy()s in signal.
2196 - Add "gui on/off" command to console to turn on gui mode,
2197 which will adapt Bacula better to batch or gui programs.
2198 Currently, it prevents commas from being inserted into
2199 numbers in the list command.
2200 - Tweak some of the Makefiles so that the install is done with
2201 the right program (nothing really changed).
2202 - Install logrotate in the "make autostart" of Bacula on RedHat.
2203 - Implement SIGHUP while jobs are running. It *seems* to work but is
2204 a bit fragile and still crashes if you push it. More work needed.
2205 - Applied Phil's GNOME 1.4 patch. Very clean. Thanks Phil.
2206 - Major updates to the native Win32 installer.
2208 - Restructure free of conf resources to handle job_end_push()
2209 and SIGHUP. Lots of changes little substance.
2211 - Add mtimeonly=yes/no and keepatime=yes/no to Include list
2213 - Allow no modifier in time and size specifications.
2214 - Attempt to implement disk seeking. More work needed.
2215 - Implement more in win32 installer and test it.
2217 - Implement kb, mb, and gb modifiers for size, which mean
2218 1,000 bytes, 1,000,000, ... bytes.
2219 - Add Makefile to src/win32 to allow building the full
2220 release -- it calls nmake where appropriate.
2221 - Remove the rsi directory from win32 as suggested by Christopher
2222 - Add Michel Meyers' nsi file to win32 and integrate it with
2225 - Add the frigging _O_BINARY to the right variable. Win32 works!
2226 - Add debug code to state file. There is a problem with Win32 read
2227 returning one byte less than it should.
2228 - Implement a number of new functions for alist so that it has
2229 equivalent functionality to dlist. It will be used for
2231 - More work on state file.
2232 - Added a popup message box on Windows if Bacula Aborts.
2233 - Attempt to shutdown the FD server, but doesn't work on Windows. This
2234 would have given a cleaner shutdown, no problem.
2237 - Attempt to fix state file on Win32 -- no luck.
2238 - Add HPUX tweaks to configure.in
2239 - Update quickstart and install.wml of doc.
2240 - Eliminate extern int h_errno from bnet.c by including netdb.h
2241 - Eliminate NumJobs from last_job structure so that FD and SD
2242 correctly report what is in the state file.
2244 - Implement daemon state file, and save/restore last_jobs list.
2245 - Fix time routines in win32 compat.cpp
2246 - Fix a bug of not checking the bpipe_open() status in do_shell_expansion().
2248 - Add Volker's bacula script to the SuSE directory and convert it
2250 - Make LockRes() and UnlockRes() use read/write locks and have
2251 debug info to trace locking and unlocking.
2252 - Begin work of implementing SIGHUP. It is now enabled for
2253 the Director and works only if there are no jobs running,
2254 in addition, if the new conf file is incorrect, it will
2255 terminate Bacula. Much more work to be done. I've figured
2256 out a scheme to implement it with running jobs without
2257 adding individual semaphores or use counts.
2258 - Sort "list jobs" by StartTime rather than JobId, which can
2261 - Add a lot of "const" to char * arguments to keep the native
2263 - Added first cut of message queuing to prevent recursion in
2264 low level routines. This code is not yet working.
2265 - Spent a *huge* amount of time looking at the tape driver
2266 code in the wake of several reports of tape labels getting
2267 trashed. The code looks fine.
2268 - Created a tape with an error (by writing a block at the
2269 beginning of a tape that had valid data), and found that
2270 Under Linux there is no way to read past an I/O error.
2271 I tried mt; I tried my own program (btape); and I tried
2272 using scsitape, which talks directly to the scsi driver.
2273 This is *VERY BAD* news.
2274 - I spent an *enormous* amount of time enhancing the btape
2275 test program as well as making the fill command work with
2276 both one and two tapes and the autochanger if configured.
2277 The multiple tape fill test is now quite comprehensive.
2278 It checks the last block on the first tape, the first block
2279 on the second tape, and the last block (11) on the second
2281 - Teaked the tape driver for several functions to use the
2282 OS driver's notion of mt_file if there is an error.
2284 - Add DB update scripts retrieved by Scott to a new updatedb
2285 directory at the top level.
2286 - Add -p option to bcopy to allow ignoring errors on input.
2287 - COALESCE(xx,0) does not work on PostgreSQL because the 0 is not a
2288 correct time. Replaced by adding LastWritten IS NULL to the sort
2289 line as was first suggested by JML.
2291 - Use COALESCE(LastWritten, 0) in sql_find.c to get NULLs to sort last.
2293 - Add write/read and positioning test to btape "test" program.
2295 - Fix bad printf of InChanger flag reported by Pascal Pederiva.
2296 - Fix bad indexing off stack in authenticate.c reported by
2299 - Add \n to hosts.access reject message.
2300 - Implement security message class and make hosts.access message use
2303 - Fix check_memory bug in ua_query.c, which gives a bus error on Solaris.
2304 This affected only the query command.
2306 - Added backup to cdwriter script to examples provided by Johan Decock.
2307 - Fixed a bug where ls really did lsmark (just invert command table
2309 - Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name
2310 by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under
2311 it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller.
2312 - Fix a deadlock situation in the new watchdog code where the
2313 watchdog locks its semaphore, and attempts to lock the jcr_chain,
2314 but another thread has locked the jcr_chain and wants to free a
2315 watchdog, which tries to lock the watchdog semaphore -- deadlock!
2316 Used read/write locks to solve the problem.
2317 - Improved the error messages when I/O errors or buffer id errors
2318 are detected, and prevent non-sense errors from being printed.
2319 - Fix some incorrect messages in restore if no name is supplied
2320 on the command line (e.g. pool= ).
2321 - Add the third digit to the release version number.
2323 - Add -l option to bls that causes it to ignore tape label errors.
2325 - Correct problems with jobs scheduled at a later time by hand.
2326 Missing unlock(), backward test on pthread_create status.
2327 - Fix setip crash reported by Alan Brown.
2328 - Create bacula.spec.in in SuSE directory from Scott.
2329 - Fix missing unlock() in ua_status on access denial.
2330 - Lots of little cleanups, improving jcr use_count debug printing.
2331 - Add EMSG to mem_pool utilization statistics.
2333 - New bacula.spec.in file from Scott
2334 - Add Scott's spec file to the platforms/suse directory
2335 - Modify configure.in to make platforms/suse/bacula.spec
2336 - Do not allow a resource name to be specified twice.
2338 2004-01-30 Version 1.33-30Jan04 Release
2340 - Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without
2341 opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive).
2342 - Added Postgresql configure search libraries recommended by Alan Brown.
2344 - Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the
2345 arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly.
2346 Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a
2349 - I've noticed that the backups of Rufus, my development machine, can be
2350 "stuck" for about 12 hours, then suddenly they run. In running the
2351 debugger, I see that it was stuck on the select() statement waiting
2352 for the Hello. Why this happens I am not sure. I re-organized the code
2353 a bit because it didn't seem to be as robust as it could, but I cannot
2354 explain the problem.
2355 - As a consequence of the above, I have implemented a new bsock timer that
2356 can be started and stopped. This is based on Nic Bellamy's new watchdog
2357 code. The timer is set with start_bsock_timer(bsock, timeout); If the
2358 timeout expires, the bsock will be marked as timed_out and interrupted
2359 with a pthread_kill() on the current thread.
2360 - Added 5 minute bsock timers to all the opening Hello/authentication
2361 exchanges between the various daemons.
2363 - New spec file from Scott.
2364 - New patch file from Scott for create_sqlite_database
2365 - Fix crash in run command if invalid pool specified on the command line
2366 and then the user cancels the Pool prompt.
2367 - Separate Console and ConsoleFont resources in gnome2 conf files.
2368 - Remove possibly bad ASSERTs from bnet.c
2369 - Remove open() of device in dircmd.c, which fails on FreeBSD with
2370 an autoloader -- thanks to Jesse Guardiani for this fix.
2372 - Remove all "hostname -s" from configure except for RedHat. Use uname -n instead.
2373 - Implement SetIP command.
2374 - Implement Close On Poll in Device resource on SD.
2375 - Implement Full, Inc, and Diff Pools.
2376 - Implement Access control lists for Consoles.
2378 - Define default working_dir as /var/bacula/working.
2379 - Implement setip console command to set new IP address for a Client.
2381 - Implement maximum network buffer size directives.
2382 - Good first cut at access control lists for the console.
2383 - Optimize restore to select only latest Differential backup after
2384 the Full, and then all following Incremental backups. Previously
2385 everything after Full was selected.
2387 - Organize kernstodo a bit (more to be done).
2388 - Add client IP address to BSOCK structure.
2389 - Use bit fields where appropriate in BSOCK structure.
2390 - Pass UAContext to ua authenticate in Director, and make it
2391 set the appropriate console (or NULL for none).
2392 - Tweak restore "run" argument handling and add "files" keyword.
2393 - Add device name or Volume name to some SD messages.
2395 - First cut multiple consoles.
2398 - Add quit command to restore tree handler.
2399 - Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and
2400 in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link.
2401 mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster.
2402 - Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore.
2403 - Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line
2405 - Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of
2407 - Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in
2408 question and do not do a recursive descent.
2409 - Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to
2410 be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories
2411 are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only
2412 the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree.
2413 - Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than
2414 just taking the first one.
2416 - Update copyright date on changed files.
2417 - Make mark command in restore tree run *much* faster by accessing database only
2418 if the file actually is hard linked -- determined at time tree it built by
2419 keeping a has_link bit in the tree entry.
2421 - Modify findlib/makepath.c to create all parent directories with full permissions.
2422 This should solve the access problems on restoring files on Win32 systems.
2423 - Modify restore to report **** Restore Error **** if any error are found.
2424 I.e. a file could not be created.
2425 - Change a few errors into warnings -- e.g. if permissions could not be set, but
2426 the file is actually restored.
2428 - Replace bsd_queue with dlist in lib/watchdog.c
2429 - Add Date: header to bsmtp. Thanks to Meno Abels (abels) on SourceForge
2431 - Remove ap==NULL check in src/lib/var.c as suggested by Christoph Barbian
2432 because ap (va_list) is a struct on the Alpha, so the code does not
2435 - Implement first cut of polling for a Volume. New Device directive
2436 "Volume Poll Interval = xxx" where xxx is a time specification
2437 (e.g. 5min). Default is off.
2438 - Call pthread_cancel on SD msgchan only if the threadid is non-zero.
2440 - Change RH autostart scripts to start in Dan's order.
2442 2004-01-06 Version 1.33-06Jan04 Release
2444 - Correct calculation of week of month in scheduler and in scheduled
2447 - Fix cancel of job waiting on mount to be a bit cleaner.
2449 - Fix seg fault -- don't close db in db_open_database(). It must explicitly
2452 - Allow purge of a single JobId from a Volume (code untested)
2453 - Implement fix to keep SD from looping complaining about the wrong volume
2454 at the end of a tape -- reported by Phil, and fix confirmed by him. I cannot
2455 seem to reproduce the bug here.
2456 - Clean up a few more strcpy()s.
2458 - Fix configure.in FD User print per Lars.
2460 - New bacula.spec.in from Scott. Nice!
2461 - Make RunAfterJob non-fatal if it errs since the Job has really
2462 already completed the save.
2463 - Replace sprintf with bsnprintf in message.c
2465 - Note, this change affects only the Win32 FD.
2466 - Fixed Win32 FD crash due to missing argument in status command. It
2467 always crashed if there was a job that had previously run. Thanks to
2468 Christopher Hull for finding and diagnosing this problem.
2470 - Fix SELECT as indicated by Dan in sql_get.c for returning Volume names.
2471 - Fix last_jobs list crash for utility programs (btape, ...).
2472 - Correct editing of FileSet name into SQL command.
2473 - Allow calling watchdog stop without initialization for utility programs.

2476 - Attempt to prevent infinite loops in fsf_dev() if device not properly
2478 - Attempt to get correct file number on tape after backspacing at EOM. The
2479 correction should resolve differences in OS tape driver implementations.
2480 - Add ctl-c detection to bconsole. When reading from tty, interrupts any
2481 output from Bacula, when reading from a file, it terminates the reading
2482 and returns possibly exiting if it is a batch job.
2483 - Create devel_bacula.in script and make it configure itself. Very similar
2484 to the new bacula.in.
2485 - Modify bacula.in to have separate file locations for each daemon -- makes
2486 it easier to make a new devel_bacula.in when there are changes.
2487 - Remove old config files when rebuilding configure to avoid error msgs.
2488 - Fix btape "test" to respect TWO EOF.
2489 - Fix fsf_dev() to use system notion of file if it is valid after bsf_dev().

2496 - Moderately improve bpipe_close() errors. Must rethink status return.
2497 - Eliminate some Emsgs in favor of Jmsgs.
2499 - Add optional Pool keyword on restore command line. If specified, the pool
2500 used will be restricted to the specified pool.
2501 - "Finish" implementation of JobDefs.
2502 - Fix directory for chmod of cats scripts.
2504 - Implement foreach_res() #define and start replacing old code.

2506 - Implement bstrftime_nc() bstrftime with no century.
2507 - Fix static console problem in gnome2 and gnome directories reported by Alan
2509 - Add code to test for valid Resource Names. Permitted characters are now
2510 alpha, numeric, colon, period, minus, underscore, space.
2511 - Turnoff some unused code in timers.c
2512 - Start adding code to dev.c to prevent infinite loops if fast forward space
2513 file (MTFSF) is configured on but not properly supported by OS.
2515 - Sort FileSet selection list by CreateTime.
2516 - Add "lsmark", and "estimate" to tree routines.
2517 - Doing a mark or unmark now prints how many entries were changed.
2518 - Add command argument parsing to btape.c
2519 - Enhance EOT to print file:block on message.
2520 - Add repeat counts on btape bsf, fsf, bsr, fsr, and weof commands.

2523 after a fill command.
2524 - Use reposition_dev() to position for read back of last block.
2526 - Zap InChanger flag only if setting Slot to non-zero.
2527 - Added new SD directive TwoEOF, default off, that tells Bacula whether
2528 to write one or two EOFs for EOM. For the OnStream driver it must
2529 be off, otherwise an empty file will be created.
2530 - Cleaned up the btape "fill" command to compare the last block written
2531 and read rather than just printing them.
2533 - Implement btape test for autochanger.
2534 - Implement btape test for Fast Forward Space File.
2535 - Moved up to cygwin 1.5.5-1
2536 - Implemented Fast Forward Space File
2538 - Add support for selecting volumes from InChanger list first, then
2539 selecting from all available volumes.
2540 - Ensure that Volumes are selected from oldest LastWritten data/time.
2541 - A couple of bug fixes ensuring the proper ordering of volumes.
2543 - Return oldest LastWritten for find_next_volume.

2560 - Add scan to "update slots scan".
2561 - Add command in SD to readlabel.
2563 - In the bacula start/stop script, ordered the stop: FD SD Dir to
2564 give the SD the best chances of updating the catalog before dying.
2565 - Add Drive and InChanger to MEDIA_DBR record and to Volume update
2567 - Reorganize the Volume info update from SD so that the Dir sends back the
2568 current information in case the Volume status has changed by expiring.
2569 The DIR-SD protocol is not backward compatible (must update).
2570 - Fixed the signal handler to pass the signal to the exit_handler()
2571 previously it passed 1.
2572 - Modified SD so that on normal shutdown, it walks through all jcrs and
2573 cancels them so that the Volume status will be updated in the catalog.
2574 - Found and fixed a bug where ST_LABEL was not set in append mode
2575 (when a different tape was accepted other than the original one
2576 proposed by the DIR.
2577 - Update the catalog Volume info after dev->file is incremented rather
2578 than waiting for end of job.
2580 - Change getdomainname() prototype for Darwin.
2581 - Add gethost_strerror() to create correct error message for
2583 - After doing a kill() of a stalled connection in watchdog, turn off
2584 the timer to prevent an infinite loop.
2585 - Allow Bacula to rewrite the label on a disk volume.

2598 - Implement new code that assures that a non-zero Slot is unique within
2599 a given Pool. When setting a non-zero Slot, the Slot of all other
2600 Volumes with the same Slot is set to zero. Redone later to add
2603 - Fix bug reported by Lars where an incorrect Volume name was printed

2617 - Fix the "list nextvol" command so that it doesn't try to close the
2618 database twice, giving a segfault.
2619 - Fix (hopefully) to dircmd.c so that a mount request does a pthread_cond_signal.
2620 There was one path were the signal was not sent. This should fix the bug
2621 that requires you to do two "mount" commands to free a job waiting on a mount.
2622 - Make dir_ask_sysop_to_mount_next_volume() return immediately if a slot is
2624 - Correct some of the messages in testfind.c (pointed out by Dan -- thanks).

2654 - Add all possible Status codes the jobstatus_to_ascii()
2656 - Add new spec file and cats patch from Scott.
2657 - Optimize tree.c a bit -- turn off debug code, keep node fname
2658 length for fast rejection, add some statistics, allocate
2659 in 100K and 1Meg chunks, use bool, uint16_t and uint8_t to
2660 reduce node packet size.

2676 - In doing a "status dir" make it loop over all the run
2677 commands in the Schedule rather than doing on the first one.

2723 - dev.c used incorrect ruturn status for bsf_dev in the BSF at EOM
2724 code. This caused all appends on FreeBSD to fail.
2725 - Turn on fast block rejection code.
2727 - Optimize file index searches by adding a count to the bootstrap.

2734 deleted, so delete them as soon as possible.
2735 - Restore by file (or by selecting files) created some
2736 horrible looking bsr files that defeated the forward
2737 spacing code, so fix write_findex to work right.
2738 - Add zlib_strerror() routine in filed/restore in case
2740 - In filed/restore.c make sure all error returns cleanup
2741 and close the open file descriptor.

2743 after file is found, so error messages that print the
2744 filename don't print an old, incorrect name.
2745 - Allow bclose() to be called after closing the file.
2746 - Fix a number of unclear help messages, ... reported by
2748 - Retweak stored/read_record.c so that it does forward

2795 This caused the creation of a spool file in the working
2796 directory for every job run.
2797 - Print to the job output stream when block checksum errors
2798 occur, but continue processing. If more than one occurs,
2799 print number at end of job.
2800 - Remove a few unneeded tests from configure.in
2801 - Modify configure to use -pthread on FreeBSD 4.8,
2802 but nothing on FreeBSD 5.1

2820 Compatible with previous method EXCEPT a modifier is now
2822 - Completely restructured recycling. It should work now, but
2823 in any case, the logic is much cleaner. A lot of new

2944 is open. Free the record with the EOS_LABEL is found (or at the
2947 2003-08-02 Version 1.31a 02Aug03 Released
2948 - Yifang Dai reported a case where he stress tested Bacula and
2949 backed up to four volumes, but only two were selected for the
2950 restore. This is because I forgot that the selection could
2951 span a volume entirely.
2952 - Added a missing CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS to the second attempt to open
2953 the MySQL database -- this prevents UPDATE errors if nothing
2955 - Applied corrections to the manual supplied by Bob Collins. Many thanks!
2957 2003-07-30 Version 1.31 Beta 30Jul03
2958 - Integrated Robert Mathews improved description of Priorities into

3021 - Update document for Win32 stuff.
3022 - Ensure VolStatus value for update is permitted.
3023 - Fix cached_path so that it is local to the jcr, otherwise, there
3024 are problems from job to job.
3025 - Fixed idcache.c which was not thread safe and didn't release memory,
3026 and didn't always edit the userid correctly.
3027 - Correct missing pool memory allocation in update voluseduration.
3028 - Release mutex in pool_mem.c before triggering ASSERT.
3029 - Lock database while recycling.
3030 - Fix a bug in editing since where I forgot to update to the new size.
3031 - Implement all the command line update arguments.
3032 - Modify label to use volume=xxx for the new volume and oldvolume=yyy
3034 - Added yes to run command line arguments.

3036 - In restore print only volumes that will actually be used.
3037 - Fix bextract -- add appropriate breaks in new case code.
3038 - Add a new test -- bsr-opt-test for testing bsr optimization. As usual,
3039 it pointed out a bug where the directory tree handling code destroyed
3040 the restore arg list.
3041 - Many updates to the manual.
3042 - Pass prefix links flag to FD.
3043 - Sort list of commands for Console
3044 - Set default FD and SD concurrent jobs to 10.
3045 - Rework the find next volume code in catreq.c to correct some minor
3046 but subtle logic errors and to eliminate a goto.
3047 - Did spell check on manual.
3048 - Removed bindtextdomain() as it conflicted with RH8.0 headers
3049 - Fixed parse_args to pass address of POOLMEM struct.
3050 - Constrain FileIndexes written to BSR to be within range of Volume.
3051 - Suppress writing volumes to BSR if they are not actually referenced.
3052 - Make FOPTS use alist for match and base entries.
3053 - Pass prefix_links to SD.
3054 - Add command line interface to most items in "update volume=xxx"
3055 - Add command line interface to restore "jobid", "current", "before", "all".
3056 - Add command line "yes" to run command to supress prompt.
3057 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
3058 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
3059 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
3060 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
3062 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
3064 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
3065 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
3066 for bscan to work correctly.
3067 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
3069 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
3070 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
3071 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
3072 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
3073 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
3074 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
3076 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
3077 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
3078 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.
3079 - Make file_index int32_t everywhere.
3080 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
3081 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
3082 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
3083 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
3084 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
3085 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
3086 dependencies of sscanf().
3087 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
3088 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
3089 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
3090 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
3091 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
3092 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
3094 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
3095 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
3096 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
3097 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
3098 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
3099 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
3100 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
3102 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
3103 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
3104 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
3105 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
3106 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
3107 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
3108 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
3109 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
3110 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
3111 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
3112 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
3113 there is no working pthread_kill().
3114 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
3115 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
3116 volumes. Now fixed and working!
3117 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
3118 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
3119 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
3120 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
3121 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
3122 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
3123 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
3124 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
3125 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
3126 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
3127 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
3129 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
3130 - Complete Counter resource.
3131 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
3133 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
3134 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
3135 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
3136 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).
3137 - Implement Counter resource.
3138 - Cleanup examples/kernsconfig
3139 - Implement restore to a specific date.
3140 - Fixed a but in automatic labeling (and use durations expiring) analysed
3141 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
3142 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
3143 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
3144 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
3145 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
3146 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
3147 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
3148 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
3151 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
3152 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
3153 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
3154 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
3156 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
3157 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
3158 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
3159 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
3160 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
3161 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
3162 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
3163 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
3165 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
3166 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
3167 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
3168 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
3169 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
3170 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
3171 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
3172 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
3173 - implemented is_stream_supported().
3174 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
3175 - add mtime_only code.
3176 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
3177 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
3178 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
3179 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
3180 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
3181 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
3182 and it is now common for all readers.
3183 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
3184 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
3185 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
3187 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
3188 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
3189 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
3190 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
3191 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
3192 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
3193 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
3194 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
3196 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
3197 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
3198 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
3199 into Pool record on create/updated.
3200 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
3201 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
3202 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
3203 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
3204 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
3205 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
3206 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
3207 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
3208 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
3209 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
3210 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
3211 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
3212 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
3213 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
3214 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
3215 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
3217 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
3218 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
3219 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
3220 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
3221 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
3223 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
3224 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
3225 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
3227 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
3228 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
3229 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
3230 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
3231 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
3232 by overloading the global operators.
3233 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
3234 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
3236 - Started using "bool" where possible.
3237 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
3238 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
3239 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
3241 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
3242 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
3243 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
3244 - Incremented the database version.
3245 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
3247 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
3248 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
3249 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
3250 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
3251 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
3252 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
3253 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
3254 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
3255 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
3256 - Clean up a few error messages.
3257 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
3258 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
3259 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
3260 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
3261 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
3262 numbers are properly written.
3263 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
3264 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
3265 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
3266 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
3267 in a later version).
3268 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
3269 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
3270 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
3271 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
3272 messages are immediately displayed.
3273 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
3274 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
3275 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
3276 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
3277 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
3278 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
3279 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
3280 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
3281 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
3282 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
3284 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
3285 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
3286 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
3287 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
3288 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
3289 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
3290 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
3292 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
3293 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
3295 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
3296 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
3297 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
3298 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.

3305 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
3306 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
3307 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
3308 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.

3341 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
3342 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
3344 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
3345 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
3346 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
3347 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).

3368 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
3369 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
3370 - A number of minor code cleanups.
3371 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.

3373 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
3374 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
3376 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
3377 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
3378 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
3379 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
3380 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
3381 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
3383 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
3384 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
3385 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
3386 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
3387 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
3388 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
3389 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
3391 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
3392 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
3393 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
3394 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
3395 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
3396 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
3397 any possible confusion.
3398 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
3399 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
3400 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
3401 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
3402 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
3403 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
3404 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
3405 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
3406 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
3407 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
3408 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
3410 - First cut label dialog.
3411 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
3412 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
3413 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.

3415 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
3416 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
3417 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
3418 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
3419 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
3420 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
3421 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
3422 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
3423 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
3424 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
3425 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
3426 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
3427 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
3428 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
3429 implement individual Console authorization).
3431 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
3432 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
3433 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
3434 be immediately terminated in all cases.
3435 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
3436 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
3437 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
3438 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
3439 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
3440 - Implement When for "run" command.
3441 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
3443 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
3444 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
3445 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
3446 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
3447 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
3448 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
3449 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
3450 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
3451 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
3452 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
3453 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
3455 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
3456 in the console rather than in the Director.
3457 input - read input from a file
3458 output - write output to file
3459 tee - tee output to file and terminal
3460 time - print current time
3461 version - print current version
3464 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
3465 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
3466 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
3467 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
3469 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
3470 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
3471 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
3473 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
3474 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
3475 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
3476 - Lots of documentation of new features.
3477 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
3478 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
3479 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
3480 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
3481 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
3482 saving right away without a tape drive.
3483 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
3484 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
3485 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
3486 are implemented in the Director.
3487 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
3488 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
3489 This includes files moved or copied.
3490 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
3491 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
3492 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
3493 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
3494 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
3495 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
3496 - label barcodes now works.
3497 - Implemented "update slots".
3498 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
3499 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
3500 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
3501 - More work on barcodes.
3502 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
3503 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
3504 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
3505 anything but return the list to the Director.
3506 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
3507 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
3508 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
3509 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
3510 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
3511 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
3512 instead of horizontally.
3513 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
3514 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
3515 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
3516 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
3517 - Lots of new documentation.
3518 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
3519 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
3520 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
3521 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
3522 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
3523 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
3524 - Update client every time a job is run.
3525 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
3526 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
3527 - Release new depkgs
3528 - Release new winbacula.
3529 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
3530 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
3531 Device is requested.
3532 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
3533 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
3534 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
3536 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
3537 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
3538 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
3539 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
3540 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
3541 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
3542 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
3543 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
3544 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
3545 to be able to append.
3546 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
3547 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
3548 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
3549 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
3550 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
3551 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
3552 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
3553 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
3554 certain autochangers.
3555 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
3556 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
3557 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
3558 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
3559 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
3560 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
3562 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
3564 - Final cygwin tweaks.
3565 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
3566 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
3567 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
3568 dealing with bad input.
3569 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
3570 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
3571 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
3572 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
3573 of signal and counting the waiters.
3574 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
3575 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
3576 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
3577 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
3578 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
3579 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
3580 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
3581 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
3582 variables during recycling.
3583 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
3584 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
3585 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
3586 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
3587 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
3588 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
3590 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
3591 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
3592 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
3593 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
3594 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
3595 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
3596 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
3597 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
3598 callers want a new Volume name.
3599 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
3600 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
3601 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
3603 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
3604 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
3606 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
3607 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
3608 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
3609 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
3611 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
3612 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
3613 client not available.
3614 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
3615 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
3617 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
3618 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
3619 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
3620 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
3621 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
3622 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
3623 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
3625 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
3626 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
3627 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
3628 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
3629 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
3630 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
3631 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
3632 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
3634 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
3635 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
3637 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
3638 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
3639 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
3640 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
3641 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
3642 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
3643 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
3644 - Second cut of FileOptions.
3645 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
3646 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
3647 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
3648 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
3649 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
3650 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
3651 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
3652 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
3653 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
3654 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
3655 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
3656 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
3657 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
3658 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
3659 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
3660 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
3661 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
3662 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
3663 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
3664 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
3665 - All changing Pool in console run command.
3666 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
3667 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
3668 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
3669 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
3670 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
3671 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
3672 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
3673 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
3674 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
3675 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
3676 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
3677 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
3678 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
3679 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
3680 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
3681 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
3682 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
3683 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
3684 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
3686 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
3687 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
3688 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
3689 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
3690 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
3692 =============================================================================
3693 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
3695 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
3698 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
3699 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
3700 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
3701 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
3702 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
3703 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
3704 but at least dumps will work).
3706 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
3707 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
3708 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
3709 - Added pthread btimer routines.
3710 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
3711 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
3712 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
3713 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
3715 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
3716 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
3718 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
3719 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
3720 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
3721 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
3722 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
3723 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
3724 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
3726 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
3727 add empty buffer flag).
3729 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
3730 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
3731 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
3734 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
3735 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
3736 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
3737 exactly the same structure.
3738 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
3739 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
3740 of cleanup in message.c
3741 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
3742 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
3743 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
3744 order will be correct.
3745 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
3746 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
3747 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
3748 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
3749 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
3750 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
3751 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
3752 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
3753 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
3754 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
3755 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
3756 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
3757 after the current time -- slow process ...
3759 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
3760 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
3761 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
3763 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
3764 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
3765 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
3766 debugger always works -- we will see.
3767 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
3769 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
3771 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
3772 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
3773 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
3774 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
3775 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
3776 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
3777 jobs finished correctly.
3778 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
3779 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
3780 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
3781 print the full path name.
3782 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
3783 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
3784 duplicate filenames or paths.
3786 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
3787 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
3788 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
3790 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
3791 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
3792 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
3793 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
3794 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
3795 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
3797 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
3798 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
3799 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
3800 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
3801 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
3802 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
3803 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
3806 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
3807 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
3809 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
3810 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
3813 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
3814 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
3815 - Made | and < work.
3816 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
3817 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
3820 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
3821 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
3823 =============================================================================
3824 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
3825 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
3826 reported by James MacLean.
3827 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
3828 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
3829 James MacLean for reporting this.
3831 =============================================================================
3832 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
3833 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
3835 =============================================================================
3836 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
3838 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
3839 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
3840 it as the development goes on.
3841 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
3842 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
3843 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
3844 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
3845 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
3846 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
3849 Changes submitted this submission:
3851 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
3853 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
3854 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
3855 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
3856 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
3858 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
3859 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
3860 splitting path from file).
3862 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
3863 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
3864 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
3866 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
3867 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
3868 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
3870 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
3871 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
3872 handle shorts and long longs.
3874 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
3875 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
3876 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
3877 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
3878 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
3881 - Added more rescue documentation.
3882 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
3883 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
3884 configuration file as the default.
3886 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
3887 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
3890 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
3891 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
3892 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
3893 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
3895 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
3896 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
3897 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
3898 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
3899 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
3901 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
3902 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
3903 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
3904 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
3905 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
3907 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
3908 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
3909 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
3910 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
3912 - Started adding FileOptions ...
3913 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
3914 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
3915 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
3916 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
3917 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
3918 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
3919 block before writing and upon read back.
3920 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
3921 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
3922 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
3923 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
3924 static versions of the daemons.
3926 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
3927 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
3928 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
3929 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
3930 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
3931 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
3932 to help guide the user.
3933 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
3935 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
3936 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
3937 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
3938 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
3940 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
3941 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
3942 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
3944 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
3945 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
3946 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
3947 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
3948 in the restore Console command.
3949 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
3950 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
3951 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
3952 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
3954 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
3956 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
3957 new lib/edit.c file.
3959 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
3960 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
3961 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
3962 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
3963 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
3965 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
3966 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
3967 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
3968 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
3972 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
3973 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
3974 This code is untested.
3975 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
3976 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
3977 as well as getting info from them.
3978 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
3980 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
3981 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
3982 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
3984 - Improved error messages in smtp.
3986 =============================================================================
3987 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
3988 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
3989 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
3991 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
3992 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
3993 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
3995 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
3996 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
3998 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
3999 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
4001 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
4003 General: from kes25Nov02
4004 - Mostly Cygwin changes
4006 Changes submitted this submission:
4007 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
4008 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
4009 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
4010 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
4011 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
4012 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
4013 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
4014 - Build testfind as default.
4015 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
4017 General: from kes21Nov02
4018 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
4019 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
4020 the src/cats directory.
4022 Changes submitted this submission:
4023 - Additional documentation.
4024 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
4025 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
4026 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
4027 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
4028 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
4029 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
4030 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
4031 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
4032 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
4033 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
4034 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
4035 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
4036 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
4037 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
4038 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
4039 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
4040 the SQL noted above.
4041 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
4042 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
4043 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
4044 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
4045 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
4046 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
4048 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
4050 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
4051 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
4052 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
4053 - Add Pool attribute query
4054 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
4055 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
4057 General: from kes18Nov02
4058 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
4059 and prevent buffer overflows.
4061 Changes submitted this submission:
4062 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
4063 jobs get the correct address.
4064 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
4065 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
4066 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
4067 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
4068 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
4070 General: from kes13Nov02
4071 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
4072 ./alter_mysql_tables
4074 ./alter_sqlite_tables
4075 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
4076 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
4078 Changes submitted this submission:
4079 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
4080 when a tape can be marked Used.
4081 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
4082 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
4083 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
4084 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
4085 database. Incremented db version.
4086 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
4087 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
4088 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
4089 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
4090 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
4091 it for MySQL. What a pain!
4092 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
4093 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
4095 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
4096 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
4098 General: from kes09Nov02
4099 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
4100 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
4101 as well as a standard page size.
4102 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
4103 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
4104 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
4105 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
4107 Changes submitted this submission:
4108 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
4109 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
4111 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
4112 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
4114 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
4115 -i option. I have not tested it.
4117 General: from kes30Oct02
4118 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
4119 - bacula stript fixes.
4120 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
4121 - Added openbsd to platforms
4123 Changes submitted this submission:
4124 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
4125 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
4126 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
4127 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
4128 testing was missing.
4129 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
4130 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
4131 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
4132 confusing for the user, but ...
4133 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
4134 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
4136 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
4137 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
4138 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
4139 where the Director seg faulted.
4141 General: from kes29Oct02
4142 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
4144 Changes submitted this submission:
4145 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
4146 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
4147 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
4148 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
4150 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
4151 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
4152 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
4153 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
4154 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
4155 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
4156 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
4157 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
4158 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
4160 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
4162 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
4163 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
4164 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
4165 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
4166 it was a network error.
4167 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
4168 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
4169 console.exe to the release.
4170 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
4171 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
4172 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
4174 General: from kes23Oct02
4175 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
4176 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
4178 - Trademarked name Bacula.
4179 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
4180 will be maintained forever.
4181 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
4184 Changes submitted this submission:
4185 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
4186 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
4187 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
4189 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
4190 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
4191 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
4192 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
4194 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
4195 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
4196 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
4197 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
4198 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
4199 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
4200 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
4201 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
4202 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
4203 This replaces previous floating point times.
4204 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
4205 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
4206 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
4207 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
4208 in the pool to be mounted.
4209 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
4210 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
4211 for it to be enabled.
4212 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
4214 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
4215 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
4216 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
4217 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
4218 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
4219 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
4220 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
4222 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
4223 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
4226 =============================================================================
4227 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
4228 General: from kes10Oct02
4229 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
4230 character on Windows.
4232 Changes submitted this submission:
4233 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
4234 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
4235 - Documentation on GZIP.
4236 - Another restore doc example.
4237 - Documented btape fill command.
4238 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
4239 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
4240 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
4241 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
4242 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
4243 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
4244 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
4245 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
4246 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
4247 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
4248 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
4249 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
4250 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
4251 routines that create files do not print error messages.
4252 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
4253 Currently the following bits are not handled:
4257 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
4259 General: from kes09Oct02
4260 - More documentation.
4261 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
4262 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
4265 Changes submitted this submission:
4266 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
4267 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
4268 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
4269 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
4270 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
4271 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
4272 This will always be zero if no software compression was
4273 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
4274 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
4275 the termination status represents the state of all three
4277 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
4278 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
4281 General: From kes06Oct02
4282 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
4283 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
4284 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
4285 jobs to a File volume.
4286 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
4288 Changes submitted this submission:
4290 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
4291 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
4292 is currently turned off.
4293 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
4295 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
4296 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
4297 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
4298 ./drop_bacula_tables.
4299 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
4300 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
4301 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
4302 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
4303 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
4304 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
4305 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
4306 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
4307 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
4308 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
4310 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
4311 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
4312 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
4313 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
4315 General: From kes25Sep02
4316 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
4319 Changes submitted this submission:
4320 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
4321 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
4322 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
4323 a user -- thank you.
4324 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
4325 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
4326 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
4327 from which you can do a restore.
4328 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
4329 by an explicit ranlib call.
4330 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
4331 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
4332 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
4333 be listed as "Unknown type".
4334 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
4336 General: From kes14Sep02
4337 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
4338 - 64 bit file address support if available.
4339 - Implement autochanger for reading
4340 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
4341 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
4343 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
4344 - Begin implementation of a regression script
4345 - Write bootstrap after ever job
4347 Changes submitted this submission:
4348 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
4349 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
4350 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
4352 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
4353 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
4354 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
4355 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
4356 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
4358 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
4359 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
4360 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
4362 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
4363 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
4364 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
4365 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
4366 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
4368 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
4369 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
4370 acquire_device_for_read()
4371 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
4375 - Fix Volume in bsr.
4376 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
4378 =============================================================================
4379 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
4380 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
4381 will always read the currently mounted tape.
4383 =============================================================================
4384 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
4386 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
4387 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
4388 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
4390 Changes submitted this submission:
4391 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
4393 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
4394 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
4395 for Verify but not really errors.
4398 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
4400 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
4401 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
4402 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
4403 were not properly restored.
4407 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
4408 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
4409 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
4410 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
4411 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
4412 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
4413 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
4414 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
4415 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
4416 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
4417 any restore Job. Arrggg!
4418 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
4419 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
4420 FD not required, but recommended.
4422 Changes submitted this submission:
4423 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
4424 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
4425 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
4426 feedback from users. Thanks.
4427 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
4429 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
4430 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
4431 messages from within the Database subroutines.
4432 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
4433 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
4434 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
4435 of network errors from within the network code.
4436 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
4437 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
4438 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
4439 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
4440 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
4441 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
4442 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
4443 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
4444 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
4445 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
4446 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
4447 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
4448 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
4449 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
4451 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
4452 the restore command.
4453 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
4454 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
4455 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
4456 been done -- thanks Chuck.
4457 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
4458 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
4459 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
4460 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
4461 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
4462 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
4463 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
4464 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
4465 reading them back much easier.
4466 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
4468 =============================================================================
4469 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
4471 - Made a new tools directory.
4472 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
4473 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
4474 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
4475 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
4476 on binaries that actually need it.
4477 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
4478 - Move testfind to tools directory.
4479 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
4480 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
4481 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
4482 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
4483 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
4485 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
4486 listing of the file/directory name.
4487 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
4488 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
4489 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
4490 FileSets, ask user to select one.
4491 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
4492 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
4495 - Made restore actually work.
4496 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
4498 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
4499 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
4500 line arguments. Fixed!
4501 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
4502 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
4503 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
4504 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
4505 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
4506 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
4508 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
4509 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
4510 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
4511 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
4512 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
4513 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
4516 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
4517 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
4518 new read-write lock code.
4519 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
4520 using the rwl_xxx routines.
4521 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
4522 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
4523 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
4524 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
4525 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
4526 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
4527 to the default definition of char.
4528 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
4530 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
4531 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
4532 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
4533 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
4534 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
4535 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
4536 arguments for created run command in restore.
4537 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
4538 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
4539 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
4541 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
4542 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
4543 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
4546 - Did a good amount of documentation.
4547 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
4548 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
4549 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
4550 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
4551 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
4552 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
4553 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
4554 - Increase the sleep time.
4555 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
4556 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
4558 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
4559 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
4560 two or more volumes.
4563 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
4564 - Lots of work on the restore command.
4565 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
4566 when the console program prematurely terminates.
4567 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
4568 them all in the same thread.
4569 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
4570 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
4571 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
4572 on interdaemon communications.
4573 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
4574 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
4575 properly terminated.
4576 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
4580 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
4581 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
4582 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
4583 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
4584 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
4585 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
4586 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
4587 This will permit splitting depkgs.
4588 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
4589 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
4590 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
4591 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
4592 Is dequoting needed?
4593 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
4594 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
4595 but does not produce a dump.
4596 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
4597 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
4598 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
4599 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
4601 ===========================================================================
4602 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
4603 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
4604 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
4606 ===========================================================================
4607 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
4609 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
4610 (still works with older MySQLs).
4611 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
4612 - Added kernstodo to CVS
4613 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
4614 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
4615 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
4616 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
4619 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
4622 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
4623 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
4624 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
4625 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
4626 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
4627 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
4628 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
4629 improve performance.
4630 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
4631 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
4632 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
4633 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
4634 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
4635 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
4636 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
4637 ensure that the door is unlocked.
4638 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
4639 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
4640 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
4641 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
4643 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
4644 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
4646 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
4647 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
4649 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
4650 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
4651 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
4654 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
4656 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
4657 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
4658 is finished with the Job.
4659 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
4660 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
4661 the tape prior to freeing it.
4662 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
4663 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
4664 This permits running an external program with the following editing
4668 %d = Director's name
4677 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
4678 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
4679 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
4681 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
4682 - Currently the changer commands used are:
4683 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
4684 load -- loads a specified slot
4685 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
4686 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
4687 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
4688 slots -- returns total number of slots
4689 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
4690 resource, permits editing of:
4692 %a = archive device name
4693 %c = changer device name
4700 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
4701 specified in the SD Device resource.
4704 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
4705 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
4706 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
4707 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
4708 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
4709 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
4710 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
4711 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
4712 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
4713 to a Console selection request.
4714 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
4715 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
4716 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
4717 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
4718 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
4719 box after history replacement.
4720 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
4721 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
4722 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
4723 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
4724 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
4725 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
4726 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
4727 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
4728 of terminating the Job.
4729 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
4731 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
4735 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
4736 - A fair amount of documentation.
4737 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
4738 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
4739 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
4740 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
4741 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
4742 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
4744 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
4745 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
4746 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
4747 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
4748 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
4749 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
4750 database that you are using.
4751 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
4752 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
4753 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
4754 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
4755 routines even with DEBUG off.
4756 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
4757 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
4758 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
4759 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
4760 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
4761 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
4762 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
4763 handling of errors with minimum code.
4764 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
4765 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
4766 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
4767 resource is part of the Pool resource.
4768 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
4769 yet create a DB record.
4770 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
4772 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
4773 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
4774 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
4776 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
4777 backup and verify volume.
4778 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
4779 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
4780 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
4781 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
4782 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
4783 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
4784 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
4785 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
4786 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
4787 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
4788 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
4789 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
4790 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
4791 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
4792 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
4793 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
4795 ===========================================================================
4796 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
4797 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
4798 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
4799 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
4800 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
4801 will go away in a future release.
4802 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
4803 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
4804 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
4807 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
4808 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
4809 order they appear in the config file.
4810 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
4811 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
4812 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
4813 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
4814 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
4815 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
4816 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
4817 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
4818 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
4819 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
4820 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
4821 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
4822 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
4823 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
4825 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
4826 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
4827 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
4828 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
4831 - Additional documentation.
4832 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
4833 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
4834 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
4835 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
4836 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
4837 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
4842 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
4843 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
4845 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
4846 segment fault on Solaris.
4847 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
4850 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
4851 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
4854 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
4855 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
4856 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
4858 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
4859 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
4860 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
4861 the caller to specify what he wants.
4862 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
4863 and name scanning to lex.
4864 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
4866 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
4867 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
4870 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
4871 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
4872 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
4873 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
4874 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
4875 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
4876 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
4877 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
4878 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
4879 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
4881 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
4882 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
4883 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
4884 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
4885 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
4886 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
4887 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
4889 ===========================================================================
4890 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
4891 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
4892 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
4893 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
4894 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
4895 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
4896 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
4897 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
4898 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
4899 recovery with no database.
4900 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
4901 in your config files.
4902 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
4906 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
4907 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
4908 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
4909 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
4910 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
4912 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
4913 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
4914 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
4915 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
4916 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
4918 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
4919 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
4920 statements per command.
4921 - Implemented three new "query" options:
4922 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
4923 List Volumes used by selected JobId
4924 List Volumes to Restore All Files
4925 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
4926 select the one you want.
4927 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
4928 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
4931 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
4932 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
4933 it with a pthreads mutex.
4934 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
4935 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
4936 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
4937 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
4938 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
4939 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
4946 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
4947 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
4948 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
4949 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
4950 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
4951 add data in the new format to old tapes.
4952 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
4953 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
4954 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
4955 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
4956 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
4957 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
4958 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
4960 ===========================================================================
4961 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
4962 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
4963 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
4964 - Fixed the query command bug.
4965 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
4966 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
4967 points to a working directory.
4968 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
4969 permits a core dump.
4970 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
4971 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
4972 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
4974 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
4975 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
4976 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
4977 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
4978 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
4979 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
4980 potential source of errors.
4981 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
4982 to the Schedule Run record.
4983 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
4984 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
4985 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
4986 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
4987 earlier code reorganization.
4988 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
4989 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
4990 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
4991 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
4992 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
4993 keep around legacy code.
4994 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
4995 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
4996 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
4997 by turning off autopruning.
4998 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
4999 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
5000 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
5001 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
5002 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
5003 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
5004 it forces the specified pruning.
5005 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
5007 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
5008 in place of P() and V().
5009 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
5011 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
5012 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
5013 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
5014 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
5015 calls the UA prune routines.
5016 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
5017 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
5018 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
5019 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
5020 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
5021 daemons if they listen on different ports.
5022 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
5023 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
5024 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
5025 it should be its own typedef.
5026 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
5027 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
5028 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
5029 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
5030 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
5031 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
5032 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
5033 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
5034 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
5035 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
5037 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
5038 the number of Files pruned in the message.
5039 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
5040 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
5041 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
5044 ===========================================================================
5045 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
5046 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
5047 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
5048 commands documented.
5049 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
5050 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
5051 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
5052 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
5053 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
5054 due to a bug in MySQL.
5055 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
5056 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
5057 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
5058 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
5059 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
5060 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
5061 Bug reported by Phil.
5062 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
5063 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
5064 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
5065 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
5066 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
5067 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
5068 older gcc compilers.
5069 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
5070 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
5071 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
5072 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
5073 in UserAgent server.
5074 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
5075 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
5076 - Delete unused code from backup.c
5077 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
5078 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
5079 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
5080 This dummy value should never be printed.
5081 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
5082 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
5083 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
5085 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
5086 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
5087 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
5089 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
5090 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
5091 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
5092 new btime_t definition.
5093 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
5094 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
5095 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
5096 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
5097 descriptive of what is done.
5098 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
5099 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
5100 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
5101 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
5102 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
5103 - Additional config options for Console.
5104 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
5105 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
5106 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
5107 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
5108 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
5109 to modify Media table.
5110 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
5111 message if the make ends in error.
5112 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
5113 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
5114 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
5115 all associated records in the database.
5116 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
5117 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
5118 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
5119 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
5120 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
5121 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
5122 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
5123 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
5124 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
5125 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
5127 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
5128 kept in ua and jcr structures).
5129 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
5130 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
5131 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
5132 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
5133 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
5134 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
5135 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
5136 - Make console accept redirected input.
5137 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
5138 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
5139 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
5140 - Use JobId_t in more places.
5141 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
5142 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
5143 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
5144 future changes in the database. This should prevent
5145 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
5146 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
5147 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
5148 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
5149 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
5150 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
5151 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
5152 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
5153 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
5154 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
5155 - Purge Volume now works.
5156 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
5157 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
5158 More work to be done to search for termcap.
5159 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
5160 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
5161 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
5162 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
5163 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
5164 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
5165 not have the ALTER SQL command.
5166 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
5167 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
5168 This value is used when doing pruning.
5169 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
5170 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
5171 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
5172 retention period changes.
5173 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
5174 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
5176 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
5177 message resources. Much more work to be done.
5178 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
5180 ===========================================================================
5181 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
5182 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
5183 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
5184 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
5185 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
5186 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
5187 due to a bug in MySQL.
5188 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
5189 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
5190 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
5191 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
5192 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
5193 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
5194 Bug reported by Phil.
5195 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
5196 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
5197 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
5198 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
5200 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
5201 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
5202 older gcc compilers.
5203 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
5206 ===========================================================================
5207 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
5208 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
5210 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
5211 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
5212 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
5213 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
5214 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
5215 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
5216 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
5217 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
5218 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
5219 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
5220 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
5221 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
5222 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
5223 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
5224 broke the restore code.
5225 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
5226 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
5227 variable block sizes.
5228 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
5229 (at least on DAT tapes).
5230 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
5231 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
5233 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
5235 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
5236 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
5237 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
5238 prototype problem for C++.
5240 ===========================================================================
5241 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
5242 - Many intervening changes/updates.
5244 2001-09-29 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
5245 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
5246 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
5248 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
5249 - Helped John install at his site.
5250 He is backing up one Linux machine and
5251 one Win2000 machine.
5253 2001-mm-dd Many releases
5254 - Released internally.
5256 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
5257 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
5258 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
5259 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
5260 remains a lot to do.
5261 - The file search code is now integrated into the
5262 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
5263 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
5264 all the database records are being created, though
5265 there still remains some work in getting all the
5266 details into the records (such as the Storage
5268 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
5269 - I've defined error message handling though no code
5271 - The following resources and records are implemented
5272 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
5275 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
5278 Password (not yet used)
5280 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
5284 Backup (only one permitted)
5287 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
5290 Include (options ignored)
5291 Exclude (no options)
5296 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
5299 Address, Port, Password (not used)
5302 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
5304 - Added Storage configuration routines.
5306 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
5308 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
5311 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
5312 Archive Device (defines device name)
5315 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
5316 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
5317 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
5318 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
5319 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
5320 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
5321 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
5322 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
5324 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
5325 implement it in the daemons.
5326 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
5327 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
5328 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
5331 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
5332 - Integrated John's fixes.
5333 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
5334 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
5335 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
5336 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
5338 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
5339 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
5340 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
