105 - Fix one more thing in Win32 build.
109 - Put in production here
113 - Fix SQLite and PostgreSQL table creation script syntax
115 - Fix new Python code to work for Director.
116 - Move lib/python.c to lib/pythonlib.c so that debug output
117 is easier to read (can distinguish lib from dird, ...).
118 - Cleanup Python build so that Python is not dragged
119 into programs that don't use it.
123 - Reset NumVols in Pool record from database on every update
125 - Modify DB to support multiple simultaneous copies and

143 hoping to fix the /lib/tls hang problems (lost signal).
144 - Move resource locking seaching from parse_conf.c to res.c
146 - Modify end of volume handling so that fixup_... does not
147 redo what block.c has already done -- writing Vol info to
148 DIR. This fixes a bug with bad numbers of files on a tape
149 when it filled as reported by Peter.
150 - In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
151 info if the the information was already written at the
154 - NOTE!!!! This version has a new DIR <--> SD protocol. Both
155 must be updated at the same time.
156 - Begin implementation of passing all the Storage and Device
157 possibilities to the SD for examination during the reserve
159 - Modify the reserve and acquire code in the SD to make a
160 job wait if the device is not available.

173 if the drive is not available. Note! This is a short
176 - Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
177 - Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
178 from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
179 - Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
180 do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
181 - Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
182 to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
183 and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
184 - Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
185 failed the job to use the new device wait code.
187 - Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
188 - Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.
189 - Create patch for rescheduling problem found by Ludovic. Storage
190 pointers were lost during rescheduling.

196 - Add a few more methods to DEVICE in SD to cleanup code a
197 bit -- implement a few of the methods.
199 - Fix more print_name()s for printing device name.
200 - Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
201 open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no
202 volume mounted). This gives a bit of settling in time
203 for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
204 - Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
205 - Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
206 - Fix a typo in an error message.
208 - Detect if fseeko exists with autoconf. If so, use it
210 - Remove old bacula-*.conf from examples directory (out
212 - Remove latex-fr index files from CVS.
213 - Rewrite code that stops reading the tape so that the
214 tape is marked at EOT, then once the work is done,
215 the EOT flag is removed.
216 - Flush output to file after every send in console.
217 - Make setting VolFiles to smaller number fatal.
218 - Disable Multiple Connections code.

238 - Fix ANSI labels to put EOF1 and EOF2 after each file mark.
239 - Add Python to SD and FD.
241 - Implement IBM labels
242 - Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
243 - Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
244 passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
245 Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
246 the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
247 This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
248 card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
249 - The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.
253 - Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.
255 - Add new ua_update.c file and move update_cmd there.

262 it attempts to restore the permissions on a Win32 drive.
263 - Edit "Resource-name" (physical-name) for the device name
264 everywhere in the SD.
265 - Remove .linked.tex files in preparation for cutover to
266 using .tex in place of .wml.
268 - Copy latest config.sub and config.guess from autoconf.
269 - Try new way of identifying drives with:
270 "resource-name" (physical-name)
271 More work need to a complete conversion.
273 - Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has
274 the number of drives.
275 - Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
276 back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
277 Device status changes.
278 - Copy the change name and changer command into the device
279 record if none is specified.
280 - Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
281 and AutoChanger resource.
282 - Force all the Media Type records of all devices in an Autochanger
285 - Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
286 cloning a job as many times as you want.
287 - Pass PoolId to SD on Query request. It is now used in the
288 Find_media catalog request.
289 - Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
290 and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.
291 - This DIR is nolonger compatible with previous SDs.
292 - Add since and cloned keywords to the Console run command
294 - Implemented store_alist_str() to allow multiple string items
295 to be specified in a .conf file.
296 - Added %s (since time) to Job code editing.
297 - Reworked reserving drives in the SD. It now does it much simpler

311 - Increase the number of items permitted in a conf table.
312 - Make Director loop over alternative Devices specified in the
313 Storage resource until one is reserved by SD.
314 - Fix storing of StorageId in Media records.
315 - Add AutoSelect = yes|no in bacula-sd.conf
316 - Add Autochanger support to Label command.

319 - Implement setting DIR Storage device to Autochanger
321 - Select first available device in Autochanger.
322 - Pass back actual device name used.
323 - Allow Query of AutoChanger.
324 - Modify Query to include name of AutoChanger if
325 Device belongs to one.
326 - Remove old Pool code in jobq.c

331 - Mark Volume not InChanger if correct volume is not
333 - Corrected some typos in the make_xxx_tables.in files.
334 - Made preliminary split of pre-run and run code for each

374 - Add more database fields and fix the update scripts to
375 include the new items.
376 - Pass actual level to FD so that ClientRun editing can reflect
377 correct level -- ditto for job status. This makes the DIR
378 incompatible with older clients!
379 - Move jobq.c acquire resources to static subroutine so that
380 the code logic becomes clearer. This is in preparation for
381 actually using the new Device resources.
382 - Fix some lower case problems in sql_cmds.c reported by
384 - Correct a seg fault in the SD reported by a user. Occurred
385 only when a high debug level was set.

387 proper error messages can be reported in next item.
388 - Modify the query and use device SD commands to attempt to
389 open the device if it could not previously be opened.
390 - Correct error message for Could not reserve device.
391 - Correct some minor details with Autochanger resource in SD.
393 - Fix seg fault if debug level 900 set in SD.
394 - Truncate Win32 child return code to 8 bits.
395 - Remove some old lld's.
399 - Make another attempt at fixing the ClientRunXXX return code
400 bug on Win32 machines.

404 - Fix Media LabelDate and FirstWritten to be correctly set.
405 - Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
406 - Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
408 - Ensure that correct error messages are returned when
409 reading an ANSI label.
411 - Modified ANSI label code to preserve any ANSI label

414 - Split the ANSI label code into ansi_label.c
415 - Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
416 - Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
418 - Added some new dev methods. Most notably was
419 set_eof(), which handles setting all the dev variables
420 when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
423 - Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the
424 tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the
425 user has the option of restoring everything.
426 - More progress in implementing 64 bit DB Ids.
427 - Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
428 - Implement update scripts for all database types.
429 - First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not
432 - OK, I think ANSI labels work.
433 - Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
434 If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
436 - Added Check Labels = yes|no to Device resource in SD. If this
437 is set, Bacula will check for ANSI labels and accept them,
438 otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
441 - Second cut ANSI labels.
443 - Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.
445 - Display more informative message when a device was not
446 found or could not be opened.
447 - Add the sqlite3 database scripts.
448 - Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
449 a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
451 - Some minor doc updates.
452 - Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
453 29Jan05 -- after vacation
454 - Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
455 of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
457 - Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
458 - Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
460 - Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
461 This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
462 Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
463 changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
465 - Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
467 - Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
468 - Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in
470 - Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
471 info from SD on startup.
472 - Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
473 - Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
474 still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
475 a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
477 - Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
478 - Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
479 when the FD connects to the SD.
480 - Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
481 methods -- more to come.
482 - Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
483 class methods -- more to come.
484 - I had serious problems with ACL errors on my Laptop, and so had
485 to add the following patch:
488 /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
489 and acl_to_text? *****/
494 - Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
495 - Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
497 - Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
498 of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
499 - Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.
503 - Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s
504 acl patch. Fix case where configured but no ACL exists.
505 Rework calling arguments to be shorter and positioned
506 more typically in Bacula usage.
508 - Fix scripts/bacula.in to have awk on an environment variable
509 and add comments for Solaris users.

518 cleanup code in src/filed/restore.c
520 - Apply all of Preben's patches, but revert to old backup.c
521 and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
522 acl.c because of errors. The new code, when fully implemented
523 moves platform specific code into acl.c.
524 One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
526 - Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
527 - Fix some typos in the previous commit.
529 - Enhance CDROM boot to include some documentation at boot time.
530 - NOTE!!!!! The CDROM will not boot 2.6 kernels because the
531 boot sequence has changed significantly. Updates to come
533 - Add memtest option to CDROM boot.
534 - Include Nicolas' changes to fix llist JobMedia records.
535 - Make sure that ClientRunBefore/After messages from the program
536 are terminated with a newline. Add strerror to output error
538 - Return program exit status code in Win32.
540 - Add memtest86 to Bacula Rescue disk
541 - Enhance Rescue disk startup screen
543 - Move some variables to eliminate Solaris 2.6 compiler warnings.
544 - Fix the seg fault at the end of a job in the FD when using
545 old style include/excludes.
547 - Apply Preben's ACL patch.
548 - Integrate Preben's restore patch.
549 - Integrate Preben's verify teaks.
550 - Fix doc/latex/Makefile to copy/remove .eps files when building
551 html and web outputs.
553 - Fix Bacula so that it does not exit if there is a syntax error
554 in its conf file during a reload command. Bug 182.
555 - Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
557 - Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
558 three patches that clean up white space:
560 Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
561 if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
562 ws.patch.03.trailing:
563 This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
566 This replaces space runs at the start of line with tabs. No changes
568 - Fix overriding storage specification to be done
569 through a subroutine.
570 - Fix autoconf so it runs with FC3.
571 - Add Python4.3 to configure search paths.
572 - Always copy and delete storage definitions into jcr.
573 - Check that VolumeName supplied by Python is valid.
576 - Fix undefined in non-Python build.
577 - Update rescue disk to include mkinitrd
578 - Fix umount_drives in rescue disk (only one arg to umount)
579 - Ensure that if SD is manually set in Console, it is used.
580 - Put generate_event on pointer and plug it in init. This
581 permits using it in /lib
582 - Correct despooling size reported to be Job specific rather
583 than for the whole drive.
585 - Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
587 - Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
588 the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
589 extensions on all platforms.
590 - While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
591 boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
592 a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
593 updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
594 - Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
595 to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
596 - Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
597 option (no write) to work.
598 - Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
599 problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.
600 Cleaned up a lot of #ifdefing problems by using routines

771 - Additional documentation.
772 - Modified detection of largefiles to always set all flags regardless
774 - Modify autostart scripts to start Bacula late in the process and
776 - Drop CDImages table in drop database tables scripts.
777 - Alter casting of (void *) in gnome2-console/restore.c to pass

806 Submitted by Ben Vitale.
808 - Fix syntax error in make_mysql_tables.in pointed out by Scott.
810 - Add a kludge to detect bad date/times, which cause a seg fault in

812 programmers do not check return codes!
813 - Minor update to web site (new projects page).
814 - Remove bigint for filenameid from postgresql table -- as demonstrated
815 by Martin, it has negative performance repercussions.
816 - Rework getuser() and getgroup() to avoid any possible race condition

853 - Apply Martin's patch that puts back the run pool override
854 code -- dumb me for removing it.
858 - Create patches/README and the patch summary file.
859 - Use different share mode when opening files on WinMe/98/95 since
860 SHARE_DELETE is not implemented on those systems.
861 - In new syntax Includes, pass *all* files through the acceptance
862 filter so that no error messages will be printed for files that

876 - Fix Storage overrides in Run directive
877 - Fix seg fault in AlertCommand
878 - Fix btape "test" and "fill" commands to work with new SD
879 data structures. There are still problems ...
881 - Correct buffer length passed to inet_ntop() in address_conf.c
882 - Increase the debug level of a lot of messages to reduce the
884 - Modify how ST_APPEND is handled so that nothing is written
885 to the Volume if it is not set. It is now set only when
886 the Volume label is verified, and released when the volume
887 is released. This required a number of minor but rather
888 critical and fundamental changes.
889 - Improve quickly terminating a job in the SD when it errs.
890 More status checking and a few additional checks on
891 job_canceled() and check more error return statuses.
892 - Added a number of debug statements (to be removed later) that
893 check the VolCatName for a name.
894 - Create a single subroutine that handles terminating writing
895 on a Volume at the end of the volume (or after an error).
896 - Continued to add use of the berrno classs for strerror().
898 - Apply conio patches supplied by Peter Eriksson for configure.in
899 conio.h and conio.c to make it work better on Solaris.
900 - Make run_grub print manual procedure for installing grub
901 - Add extra setsockopt keepalive.
902 - Add code to set as many options as possible in the system
903 tape driver for different OSes.
905 - Apply Peter Eriksson's patch to configure.in fixes finding
906 correct libs on Solaris to link conio -- bug 121
907 - Add expected number of files to Verify VolumeToCatalog, and
908 if it does not equal the examined files, fail the job.
910 - Modify the depend section of each Makefile.in to reference $(CXX)
911 instead of $(CC) -- bug 118
912 - Remove the word "restore" from the Volumes needed message in
913 dird/bsr.c since the message is used for Restore and Verify.
914 - Fix initialization and copying of the storage resource when
915 starting jobs (and in jobq.c when restarting). In some cases
916 jcr->store was not set causing a segfault -- bug 116
919 - Pass EndFile and EndBlock to SD.
921 - Fixed bscan to close() drive between tapes.
922 - Turn on transactions for SQLite and PostgreSQL if
923 multiple connections are turned on.

925 - Fix split_path_and_filename() routines to return zero length
927 - Modify update_tables scripts to convert a single blank filename
928 into an empty filename.
929 - Incremented the release number because this version requires
930 an update to the database.
933 ./update_bacula_tables
934 to update an existing database.
935 - Implemented EndFile and EndBlock in the Media record. This will
936 allow Bacula to know exactly when to stop reading a tape if the
937 stupid tape driver does not give a logical end of tape indication
938 and Bacula writes to the end of the tape getting an I/O error.
939 - Added new routines to update the database, and there are
940 new database creation routines to add the two new Media columns.
941 - The Media record is updated each time a JobMedia record is created.
942 This keeps the Media record up to date.
943 - Undid the code to use automatic type converions to char * in
944 POOL_MEM. This is due to the ugly consequences of essentially
945 destroying the class type nature of the class.
946 - Removed all the old mp_char() #define code.
950 - Add additional doc.
951 - Implement automatic POOL_MEM type conversion to char *. Thanks
952 to Martin Simmons for the suggestion.
953 - Remove some unneeded function overloading -- need removed by
954 automatic type conversion.
956 - Correct segfault in message.c with debug=200 (new code).
957 - Fix bug 109 verify with no options prints garbage.
958 - Add ioctl(MTIOCGET) call to clrerror_dev() in dev.c. As reported
959 by Frank Kardel, this should clear error conditions on NetBSD.
961 - Modify the rescue script to create mount_drives with
962 the order specified by Philip Nash (mkdir, mount).
963 - Tweak install chapter of French manual to add new paragraph
965 - Tweak restore tree message to be a bit clearer.
966 - Modify watchdog to wakeup after 60 seconds, or wakeup if
968 - Modify watchdog stop routine to "ping" watchdog so that it
969 stops immediately rather than after sleep time.
970 - Fix btape to use new dcr blocks rather than its own.
971 - Fix butil.c to correctly handle Volume names for the
972 utility routines (broke when updating to dcrs).
973 11-19Sep04 (vacation)
974 - Implement multiple Storage specifications in the Job resource
975 (AND) each containing multiple specifications (OR). Not yet functional.
976 Note, this needs more work as most things now use
977 job->storage[0]->first() rather than looping through devices.
978 - Implement "Multiple connections = yes/no" in Catalog record for
979 allowing multiple simultaneous connections to the database.
980 - Add new mac.c (Migrate, Archive, Copy) to dird -- not yet implemented.
981 - Implement a new POOL_MEM class that automatically allocates
982 and deallocates a pool buffer.
983 - Overload a number of utility routines to permit using both
984 POOLMEM and POOL_MEM.
985 - Start converting to using POOL_MEM.
986 - There were a number of Bacula console ACL checks missing in
987 ua_run.c. It allowed users to run jobs they really should not.
988 - Correct a number of dates on the Copyright.
989 - Overload pm_strcpy() and pm_strcat() to handle new POOL_MEM
991 - Overload bash/unbash_spaces to handle new POOL_MEM class.
992 - Make a *MASSIVE* pass through the Storage daemon eliminating
993 all use of jcr->VolumeName and jcr->VolCatInfo in favor of
995 - Eliminate all all redundant arguments from calling sequences
996 in SD. This poses a number of problems due to the old way blocks
997 and records were allocated and released all the time. They are
998 now contained in the dcr. The problem is that old habits die hard
999 and there are still places where everything is not right.
1000 - Implement "Block positioning = yes/no" in Device resource in SD.
1004 - Add "Multiple Connections = yes/no" in catalog record. Only
1005 the variable is implemented, no code yet.
1006 - Close *all* FD unless debug on.
1008 - Add first cut of UTF-8 support to conio. It "seems" to be working
1009 pretty well. Moving by words will definitely not work though.
1010 - Improve detection and setting of gateway in the
1011 network_start script.
1013 - Modify scan code so that in most places scanning will
1014 continue across the end of a line.
1016 - Begin major phase of 1.35 documentation.
1017 - All outstanding bugs are fixed.
1018 - Implement changes and improvements to rescue scripts as
1021 - Add correction to Phil's previous patch.
1022 - Send all queued messages in SD and FD prior to closing down
1024 - Send queued messages in Jobs before terminating the job
1025 so that the messages print before the job report.
1026 - Add a destructor so that the Console ACLs are properly
1029 - Implement isolinux boot disk.
1030 - Integrate Phil Stracchino's code (thanks for Matt's help).
1031 It permits lists and ranges of jobids on the delete as in:
1032 delete job jobid=1,3,5,11-16
1034 - Apply Mike Acar's suggestion when looking for the next volume
1035 to check purged volumes for recycling before doing a purge.
1036 - Make some improvements to CDROM disk.
1037 - Take another crack at ignoring drive open() errors during
1040 - Add eliminate orphaned job records; eliminate admin records,
1041 and eliminate restore records to dbcheck.
1042 - replace sprintf by bsnprintf() in dbcheck.
1043 - Added scan target to makefile in rescue cd to print scsi
1045 - Added argument to berrno::strerror() to pass errno.
1046 - Cleaned up a few more old strerror() calls and eliminated a
1047 few of the now unnecessary set_errno() calls.
1048 - Fixed a bug in the polling code that prevented more than 100
1049 label reads (insanity check disabled if polling).
1050 - Ignore bad return from open_device() if polling.
1051 - Short circuit code if fatal error return from read_label() in
1054 - Add index file to JobId field of File records for PostgreSQL.
1055 - Correct several bugs in the job queue scheduler concerning
1056 rescheduled jobs: 1. The SD status was not cleared causing a
1057 wrong status to be displayed by Dir after rescheduling. 2. All
1058 rescheduled jobs became zombies because the jcr use_count was
1059 not decremented properly.
1060 - Make the Catalog resource required in Client records.
1061 - Order the listing of where a file is (item 2 on the restore
1063 - Clarify when a filename only and a full path + filename must
1064 be entered in items 2 and 8 of the restore menu.
1065 - Fix logic error in resolution of names on IPv4 systems.
1067 Changes to 1.35.2 released 01Sep04:
1069 - Inhibit printing of FileSet for a restore as it is misleading.
1070 - Cleaned up a number of minor scripting problems with the CDROM
1072 - Fixed a race condition causing a Director crash on termination,
1073 if a large number of SIGHUPs were sent during a multiple concurrent
1076 - Completed integration of Rescue CD scripts with Bacula source.
1078 - Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
1079 - Added more error checking to the spooling code.
1081 - Applied a patch from Peter Eriksson that removes a dynamic stack
1082 allocation (replaced by alloca) and fixes some const problems.
1083 - Fixed a free() of a static variable in the new IP code bnet.c
1084 - Got the new Bacula Rescue CDROM booting.
1085 - Replaced a dynamic template by a simple store when using the
1087 - Reworked some of the block.c error handling.
1088 - Changed a Dmsgx(000, to Dmsgx(100 in dev.c that was dumping
1089 debug output on a user.
1090 - Integrated patch from 1.34.6 block.c to 1.35
1092 - Fix conio.c problem on Solaris.
1093 - Add debug code to lock_jcr_chain().
1094 - Lock jcr chain around less code.
1095 - Implement call by reference for Mmsg() and pm_strxxx() to
1097 - New IP address specification is used as follows:
1098 [sdaddresses|diraddresses|fdaddresses] = { [[ip|ipv4|ipv6] = {
1099 [[addr|port] = [^ ]+[\n;]+] }] }
1101 so it could look for example like this:
1102 SDaddresses = { ip = {
1103 addr = 1.2.3.4; port = 1205; }
1105 addr = 1.2.3.4; port = http; }
1118 addr = 2001:220:222::2
1121 addr = bluedot.thun.net
1124 as a consequence, you can now specify multiple IP addresses and
1125 ports to be used. In the case of a server, it will listen on
1126 all those that you specify. In the case of connecting to the server,
1127 Bacula will attempt connecting to one at a time until it succeeds.
1128 And, in a few other special cases, Bacula will use only the first
1131 The default port numbers are still the same and the services and hosts
1132 are also resolved by name. So now you could use the real names for the
1137 - Print error message if Alert Command fails in bpipe_open().
1138 - Doc Alert command.
1139 - Eliminate unnecessary class in findlib/attribs.c
1140 - Add necessary empty files to new tray-monitor directory.

1150 - Modified configure.in to by default add -Wall.
1152 - Found some problems with printing IP addresses -- will notify Meno.
1153 - Added printing Pool to Job report.
1154 - Fixed several places where dlists were not being released

1230 - Start work on rescue files. Integrated RAID changes.
1231 - Print a message when query.sql moved to query.sql.old during install.
1232 - Move setting of FreeBSD chflags() to after utime() to avoid error
1233 messages is immutable bit is set.
1235 - Turn off heartbeat in FD when -s is given so that we can
1236 debug without a flood of signals.
1237 - Close and reopen the device during an append test in
1238 btape. This better tests appending as if Bacula stops/restarts.
1239 - Remove old attach/detach_jcr_to_device() code
1240 - Add new attached_dcrs code.
1241 - Remove unnecessary subroutine for bsnprintf.
1242 - Replace sprintf() by home-grown code in edit_uint64 ...

1252 - Many more DCR changes.
1253 - Add job message indicating that the job has been rescheduled
1255 - Fix job end time so that it is always updated. Previously it
1256 was not updated when a job was rescheduled.
1257 - Correct SQL for restoring job by path/name. It could sometimes
1258 pickup the wrong JobId -- submitted by a user.
1259 - Add a number of "%s" in editing database errors -- security issue.
1260 - Ensure that the NumVols is incremented and decremented in the
1261 pool record when Volumes are created or deleted.
1262 - Cleanup error handling when labeling a tape. If vol was read-only,
1263 the device would still be marked as having found a label.
1265 - Put ftCreationTime into st_ctime of stat packet. Hopefully
1266 this will fix the problem of noticing files have been moved
1267 into the save path after a Full save.
1268 - Fix bug in "status dir" where not all entries are listed.
1269 - Cleanup some improper result printing in configure.
1270 - Optimize a couple of insertions in binary_insert of dlists.

1276 - Add debug code for memset checking for zeroing 1900-3000 bytes
1277 which is what happened to the block headers.
1278 - If block header is destroyed, read the next block. Probably
1279 should return with new status similar to the SHORT block
1281 - Add more debug info to bls for bad blocks.
1282 - More implementation of DCRs.
1284 - Eliminate argument passing in SD by using dcr.
1285 - More int->bool conversions.

1317 - Rewrite spooling error handling when I/O error occurs. It is
1318 a bit tricky, requiring to truncate the file so that a despooling
1319 will work correctly. Needs to be tested.
1320 - Make better subroutines for setting up for a new job.
1321 - Start putting all DB ids on #defines (going to 64 bits).
1322 - Fix gnome-console Makefile.in to work again.
1323 - All "level=Incremental/Decremental" to the estimate command. This

1336 bytes, max_bytes, buffers and max_buffers.
1337 - Fixed reload algorithm to stack both job end callback and the
1339 - Fixed the orphaned buffer after reload (job_end_push had to be

1349 - Fix a number of places in query.sql where multiple JobIds are
1350 printed (due to JobMedia records).
1351 - Add new query: List jobs on Volume given Volume name.
1352 - Correct socket close on Win32 in bnet.c (in addition to compat.cpp).
1353 Caused fd leak in Win32 for each connection.
1354 - Remove vol labeled test in askdir update_volume_info so that non-labeled
1355 Volume in catalog can be marked in error.
1356 - Close socket in SD when connection rejected. Caused fd leaks.
1357 - Initialize job_start_wait cond variable after every new_jcr() otherwise

1383 About box. Thanks Andreas.
1385 - Applied Peter Eriksson's const changes to the source code. Thanks Peter.
1386 - Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used
1387 in the restore tree routines.
1388 - Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which
1389 are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit
1390 behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*.

1595 and CPU usage. Reported by Michel Meyers.
1596 - Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings
1597 if any warning messages were generated.
1598 - Change output of restore report to indicate:
1599 "Restore OK -- warning file count mismatch"

1608 - Added --enable-wx-console and updated Makefile.in
1609 - Fix mtx-changer so that the calling sequence is compatible

1614 - Fix crash in query command.
1615 - Remove schedule from the default restore job.
1616 - Fix data spooler to use min/max tape blocking factors.

1643 - Turn off SIGQUIT in console.
1645 - A good number of document updates.
1646 - Fixed the order which multiple files are accepted for
1647 inclusion in the restore tree due to the fact that PostgreSQL
1648 returns files in a different order from their insertion.

1671 Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely
1672 this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running
1673 the daemon with this option in production.
1674 - Tweaked the Makefile not to create the gnome directories except
1675 when doing a gnome install.
1677 - Implement Qmsg() queuing of messages to prevent recursion especially

1709 - Modify status outputs to be more consistent for zombie checking.
1710 - Add tests to regression script for zombie jobs.

1730 - Added two tar files that Phil sent for adding slackware support.
1731 Thanks Phil and Matt Howard.
1732 - Fix relabel command -- || should have been &&.
1733 - Correct once more the scheduling algorithm -- this time it should
1736 - Implement simple spool statistics printed by "status sd".
1737 - Cleanup/add spool error messages.
1738 - On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly.
1739 - Implement code to select a different Volume in the SD if the
1740 current Volume is busy -- requested by Patrick Cole.
1741 - Change postgreSQL make tables to use bigint instead of integer
1742 for StartBlock and EndBlock because
1743 there is no unsigned integer in postgreSQL and these fields use 32 bits.
1744 - Implement multiple drive autochanger support -- prompted by email of
1747 - Update version and date in Win32 build.
1748 - Fix bug in run_conf with month range zapping wday and wom.

1762 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Job resource
1763 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Run overrides.
1764 - Note, you must have a 1.33.4-09Mar05 SD or later with the Director since
1765 the DIR->SD protocol has changed to support data spooling.
1766 - Remove the confusing "Which DBMS do you want to use (please select only one):"
1767 messages from ./configure.
1768 - Fix broken Jmsg with missing argument in find_one.c
1770 - Second cut data spooling code.
1771 - Fix missing piece of yesterday's patch.
1773 - Integrate patches supplied by Jason Conroy that fix Slot numbers
1776 - This version contains a *major* addition to the SD structures.
1777 Many variables have been moved out of the JCR into a new DCR
1778 (Device Context Record). This required quite a few changes, and
1779 introduced a bit of instability. In the end, after a few more
1780 rounds of changes, the DCR will replace virtually all arguments
1781 to the low level SD read/write routines. This change permits
1782 (with a bit more code) the SD to write to multiple devices at
1783 the same time for a single Job. It also facilitates adding the
1785 - Added a patch that fixed the port specification for postgresql.
1786 - Fixed findlib/find_one.c so that it will complain about backing
1787 up a hard linked file twice, which makes a restore impossible.
1788 - Tighten up permissions on pid file.
1789 - Attempt to avoid warnings when casting 64 bit pointers to an
1791 - Added skeleton code for data spooling.
1792 - Make sure spooled attributes are discarded on error.
1794 - Updated getdiskinfo in rescue/linux to handle the fact that the
1795 sfdisk -s option now includes info on partitions. Also, before
1796 creating the diskinfo files, clean out the old ones.
1798 - Add debug and error output to jobq.c
1799 - Fix some minor errors in debug output of scheduler.c
1800 - Add "trace on/off" command and modify trace code in message.c
1801 to work off trace flag rather than #defines.
1803 - If console is found during install warn user (new name is bconsole).
1804 - On install copy console.conf to bconsole.conf if it exists.
1805 - Make RunAfterJob error non-fatal.
1806 - Rework minor details in status output.
1807 - Attempt to define all values for "consoles" in JCR to avoid
1810 - Use net start bacula to start Bacula on WinXP/NT/2K
1811 systems after installation.
1812 - Change a few strcpy()s to bstrncpy()s in signal.
1813 - Add "gui on/off" command to console to turn on gui mode,
1814 which will adapt Bacula better to batch or gui programs.
1815 Currently, it prevents commas from being inserted into
1816 numbers in the list command.
1817 - Tweak some of the Makefiles so that the install is done with
1818 the right program (nothing really changed).
1819 - Install logrotate in the "make autostart" of Bacula on RedHat.
1820 - Implement SIGHUP while jobs are running. It *seems* to work but is
1821 a bit fragile and still crashes if you push it. More work needed.
1822 - Applied Phil's GNOME 1.4 patch. Very clean. Thanks Phil.
1823 - Major updates to the native Win32 installer.
1825 - Restructure free of conf resources to handle job_end_push()
1826 and SIGHUP. Lots of changes little substance.
1828 - Add mtimeonly=yes/no and keepatime=yes/no to Include list
1830 - Allow no modifier in time and size specifications.
1831 - Attempt to implement disk seeking. More work needed.
1832 - Implement more in win32 installer and test it.
1834 - Implement kb, mb, and gb modifiers for size, which mean
1835 1,000 bytes, 1,000,000, ... bytes.
1836 - Add Makefile to src/win32 to allow building the full
1837 release -- it calls nmake where appropriate.
1838 - Remove the rsi directory from win32 as suggested by Christopher
1839 - Add Michel Meyers' nsi file to win32 and integrate it with
1842 - Add the frigging _O_BINARY to the right variable. Win32 works!
1843 - Add debug code to state file. There is a problem with Win32 read
1844 returning one byte less than it should.
1845 - Implement a number of new functions for alist so that it has
1846 equivalent functionality to dlist. It will be used for
1848 - More work on state file.
1849 - Added a popup message box on Windows if Bacula Aborts.
1850 - Attempt to shutdown the FD server, but doesn't work on Windows. This
1851 would have given a cleaner shutdown, no problem.
1854 - Attempt to fix state file on Win32 -- no luck.
1855 - Add HPUX tweaks to configure.in
1856 - Update quickstart and install.wml of doc.
1857 - Eliminate extern int h_errno from bnet.c by including netdb.h
1858 - Eliminate NumJobs from last_job structure so that FD and SD
1859 correctly report what is in the state file.
1861 - Implement daemon state file, and save/restore last_jobs list.
1862 - Fix time routines in win32 compat.cpp
1863 - Fix a bug of not checking the bpipe_open() status in do_shell_expansion().
1865 - Add Volker's bacula script to the SuSE directory and convert it
1867 - Make LockRes() and UnlockRes() use read/write locks and have
1868 debug info to trace locking and unlocking.
1869 - Begin work of implementing SIGHUP. It is now enabled for
1870 the Director and works only if there are no jobs running,
1871 in addition, if the new conf file is incorrect, it will
1872 terminate Bacula. Much more work to be done. I've figured
1873 out a scheme to implement it with running jobs without
1874 adding individual semaphores or use counts.
1875 - Sort "list jobs" by StartTime rather than JobId, which can
1878 - Add a lot of "const" to char * arguments to keep the native
1880 - Added first cut of message queuing to prevent recursion in
1881 low level routines. This code is not yet working.
1882 - Spent a *huge* amount of time looking at the tape driver
1883 code in the wake of several reports of tape labels getting
1884 trashed. The code looks fine.
1885 - Created a tape with an error (by writing a block at the
1886 beginning of a tape that had valid data), and found that
1887 Under Linux there is no way to read past an I/O error.
1888 I tried mt; I tried my own program (btape); and I tried
1889 using scsitape, which talks directly to the scsi driver.
1890 This is *VERY BAD* news.
1891 - I spent an *enormous* amount of time enhancing the btape
1892 test program as well as making the fill command work with
1893 both one and two tapes and the autochanger if configured.
1894 The multiple tape fill test is now quite comprehensive.
1895 It checks the last block on the first tape, the first block
1896 on the second tape, and the last block (11) on the second
1898 - Teaked the tape driver for several functions to use the
1899 OS driver's notion of mt_file if there is an error.
1901 - Add DB update scripts retrieved by Scott to a new updatedb
1902 directory at the top level.
1903 - Add -p option to bcopy to allow ignoring errors on input.
1904 - COALESCE(xx,0) does not work on PostgreSQL because the 0 is not a
1905 correct time. Replaced by adding LastWritten IS NULL to the sort
1906 line as was first suggested by JML.
1908 - Use COALESCE(LastWritten, 0) in sql_find.c to get NULLs to sort last.
1910 - Add write/read and positioning test to btape "test" program.
1912 - Fix bad printf of InChanger flag reported by Pascal Pederiva.
1913 - Fix bad indexing off stack in authenticate.c reported by
1916 - Add \n to hosts.access reject message.
1917 - Implement security message class and make hosts.access message use
1920 - Fix check_memory bug in ua_query.c, which gives a bus error on Solaris.
1921 This affected only the query command.
1923 - Added backup to cdwriter script to examples provided by Johan Decock.
1924 - Fixed a bug where ls really did lsmark (just invert command table
1926 - Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name
1927 by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under
1928 it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller.
1929 - Fix a deadlock situation in the new watchdog code where the
1930 watchdog locks its semaphore, and attempts to lock the jcr_chain,
1931 but another thread has locked the jcr_chain and wants to free a
1932 watchdog, which tries to lock the watchdog semaphore -- deadlock!
1933 Used read/write locks to solve the problem.
1934 - Improved the error messages when I/O errors or buffer id errors
1935 are detected, and prevent non-sense errors from being printed.
1936 - Fix some incorrect messages in restore if no name is supplied
1937 on the command line (e.g. pool= ).
1938 - Add the third digit to the release version number.
1940 - Add -l option to bls that causes it to ignore tape label errors.
1942 - Correct problems with jobs scheduled at a later time by hand.
1943 Missing unlock(), backward test on pthread_create status.
1944 - Fix setip crash reported by Alan Brown.
1945 - Create bacula.spec.in in SuSE directory from Scott.
1946 - Fix missing unlock() in ua_status on access denial.
1947 - Lots of little cleanups, improving jcr use_count debug printing.
1948 - Add EMSG to mem_pool utilization statistics.
1950 - New bacula.spec.in file from Scott
1951 - Add Scott's spec file to the platforms/suse directory
1952 - Modify configure.in to make platforms/suse/bacula.spec
1953 - Do not allow a resource name to be specified twice.
1955 2004-01-30 Version 1.33-30Jan04 Release
1957 - Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without
1958 opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive).
1959 - Added Postgresql configure search libraries recommended by Alan Brown.
1961 - Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the
1962 arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly.
1963 Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a
1966 - I've noticed that the backups of Rufus, my development machine, can be
1967 "stuck" for about 12 hours, then suddenly they run. In running the
1968 debugger, I see that it was stuck on the select() statement waiting
1969 for the Hello. Why this happens I am not sure. I re-organized the code
1970 a bit because it didn't seem to be as robust as it could, but I cannot
1971 explain the problem.
1972 - As a consequence of the above, I have implemented a new bsock timer that
1973 can be started and stopped. This is based on Nic Bellamy's new watchdog
1974 code. The timer is set with start_bsock_timer(bsock, timeout); If the
1975 timeout expires, the bsock will be marked as timed_out and interrupted
1976 with a pthread_kill() on the current thread.
1977 - Added 5 minute bsock timers to all the opening Hello/authentication
1978 exchanges between the various daemons.
1980 - New spec file from Scott.
1981 - New patch file from Scott for create_sqlite_database
1982 - Fix crash in run command if invalid pool specified on the command line
1983 and then the user cancels the Pool prompt.
1984 - Separate Console and ConsoleFont resources in gnome2 conf files.
1985 - Remove possibly bad ASSERTs from bnet.c
1986 - Remove open() of device in dircmd.c, which fails on FreeBSD with
1987 an autoloader -- thanks to Jesse Guardiani for this fix.
1989 - Remove all "hostname -s" from configure except for RedHat. Use uname -n instead.
1990 - Implement SetIP command.
1991 - Implement Close On Poll in Device resource on SD.
1992 - Implement Full, Inc, and Diff Pools.
1993 - Implement Access control lists for Consoles.
1995 - Define default working_dir as /var/bacula/working.
1996 - Implement setip console command to set new IP address for a Client.
1998 - Implement maximum network buffer size directives.
1999 - Good first cut at access control lists for the console.
2000 - Optimize restore to select only latest Differential backup after
2001 the Full, and then all following Incremental backups. Previously
2002 everything after Full was selected.
2004 - Organize kernstodo a bit (more to be done).
2005 - Add client IP address to BSOCK structure.
2006 - Use bit fields where appropriate in BSOCK structure.
2007 - Pass UAContext to ua authenticate in Director, and make it
2008 set the appropriate console (or NULL for none).
2009 - Tweak restore "run" argument handling and add "files" keyword.
2010 - Add device name or Volume name to some SD messages.
2012 - First cut multiple consoles.
2015 - Add quit command to restore tree handler.
2016 - Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and
2017 in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link.
2018 mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster.
2019 - Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore.
2020 - Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line
2022 - Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of
2024 - Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in
2025 question and do not do a recursive descent.
2026 - Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to
2027 be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories
2028 are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only
2029 the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree.
2030 - Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than
2031 just taking the first one.
2033 - Update copyright date on changed files.
2034 - Make mark command in restore tree run *much* faster by accessing database only
2035 if the file actually is hard linked -- determined at time tree it built by
2036 keeping a has_link bit in the tree entry.
2038 - Modify findlib/makepath.c to create all parent directories with full permissions.
2039 This should solve the access problems on restoring files on Win32 systems.
2040 - Modify restore to report **** Restore Error **** if any error are found.
2041 I.e. a file could not be created.
2042 - Change a few errors into warnings -- e.g. if permissions could not be set, but
2043 the file is actually restored.
2045 - Replace bsd_queue with dlist in lib/watchdog.c
2046 - Add Date: header to bsmtp. Thanks to Meno Abels (abels) on SourceForge
2048 - Remove ap==NULL check in src/lib/var.c as suggested by Christoph Barbian
2049 because ap (va_list) is a struct on the Alpha, so the code does not
2052 - Implement first cut of polling for a Volume. New Device directive
2053 "Volume Poll Interval = xxx" where xxx is a time specification
2054 (e.g. 5min). Default is off.
2055 - Call pthread_cancel on SD msgchan only if the threadid is non-zero.
2057 - Change RH autostart scripts to start in Dan's order.
2059 2004-01-06 Version 1.33-06Jan04 Release
2061 - Correct calculation of week of month in scheduler and in scheduled
2064 - Fix cancel of job waiting on mount to be a bit cleaner.
2066 - Fix seg fault -- don't close db in db_open_database(). It must explicitly
2069 - Allow purge of a single JobId from a Volume (code untested)
2070 - Implement fix to keep SD from looping complaining about the wrong volume
2071 at the end of a tape -- reported by Phil, and fix confirmed by him. I cannot
2072 seem to reproduce the bug here.
2073 - Clean up a few more strcpy()s.
2075 - Fix configure.in FD User print per Lars.
2077 - New bacula.spec.in from Scott. Nice!
2078 - Make RunAfterJob non-fatal if it errs since the Job has really
2079 already completed the save.
2080 - Replace sprintf with bsnprintf in message.c
2082 - Note, this change affects only the Win32 FD.
2083 - Fixed Win32 FD crash due to missing argument in status command. It
2084 always crashed if there was a job that had previously run. Thanks to
2085 Christopher Hull for finding and diagnosing this problem.
2087 - Fix SELECT as indicated by Dan in sql_get.c for returning Volume names.
2088 - Fix last_jobs list crash for utility programs (btape, ...).
2089 - Correct editing of FileSet name into SQL command.
2090 - Allow calling watchdog stop without initialization for utility programs.
2091 - Enhance btape test by attempting to forward space past the end of the tape.
2092 - Detect CAP_FASTFSF in btape test as possible reason for failure.
2093 - Attempt to prevent infinite loops in fsf_dev() if device not properly
2095 - Attempt to get correct file number on tape after backspacing at EOM. The
2096 correction should resolve differences in OS tape driver implementations.
2097 - Add ctl-c detection to bconsole. When reading from tty, interrupts any
2098 output from Bacula, when reading from a file, it terminates the reading
2099 and returns possibly exiting if it is a batch job.
2100 - Create devel_bacula.in script and make it configure itself. Very similar
2101 to the new bacula.in.
2102 - Modify bacula.in to have separate file locations for each daemon -- makes
2103 it easier to make a new devel_bacula.in when there are changes.
2104 - Remove old config files when rebuilding configure to avoid error msgs.
2105 - Fix btape "test" to respect TWO EOF.
2106 - Fix fsf_dev() to use system notion of file if it is valid after bsf_dev().
2107 - Move btraceback.gdb to scripts directory on installl.
2108 - Add new mandrake bacula.spec.in
2110 - Find commonset of c_iflags that work with FreeBSD tcsetattr on terminals.
2111 - Remove comments from string concatenation -- doesn't work on FreeBSD
2113 - Moderately improve bpipe_close() errors. Must rethink status return.
2114 - Eliminate some Emsgs in favor of Jmsgs.
2116 - Add optional Pool keyword on restore command line. If specified, the pool
2117 used will be restricted to the specified pool.
2118 - "Finish" implementation of JobDefs.
2119 - Fix directory for chmod of cats scripts.
2121 - Implement foreach_res() #define and start replacing old code.
2122 - Work some more on jobdefs -- more to be done.
2123 - Implement bstrftime_nc() bstrftime with no century.
2124 - Fix static console problem in gnome2 and gnome directories reported by Alan
2126 - Add code to test for valid Resource Names. Permitted characters are now
2127 alpha, numeric, colon, period, minus, underscore, space.
2128 - Turnoff some unused code in timers.c
2129 - Start adding code to dev.c to prevent infinite loops if fast forward space
2130 file (MTFSF) is configured on but not properly supported by OS.
2132 - Sort FileSet selection list by CreateTime.
2133 - Add "lsmark", and "estimate" to tree routines.
2134 - Doing a mark or unmark now prints how many entries were changed.
2135 - Add command argument parsing to btape.c
2136 - Enhance EOT to print file:block on message.
2137 - Add repeat counts on btape bsf, fsf, bsr, fsr, and weof commands.
2138 - Enhance btape's fill command to be much clearer and more reliable.
2139 - Add state file to btape so that unfill command can be done any time
2140 after a fill command.
2141 - Use reposition_dev() to position for read back of last block.
2143 - Zap InChanger flag only if setting Slot to non-zero.
2144 - Added new SD directive TwoEOF, default off, that tells Bacula whether
2145 to write one or two EOFs for EOM. For the OnStream driver it must
2146 be off, otherwise an empty file will be created.
2147 - Cleaned up the btape "fill" command to compare the last block written
2148 and read rather than just printing them.
2150 - Implement btape test for autochanger.
2151 - Implement btape test for Fast Forward Space File.
2152 - Moved up to cygwin 1.5.5-1
2153 - Implemented Fast Forward Space File
2155 - Add support for selecting volumes from InChanger list first, then
2156 selecting from all available volumes.
2157 - Ensure that Volumes are selected from oldest LastWritten data/time.
2158 - A couple of bug fixes ensuring the proper ordering of volumes.
2160 - Return oldest LastWritten for find_next_volume.
2161 - Remove ASSERT from stored/acquire.c that could trip when it shouldn't.
2162 - Enhance SD status if debug_level > 1 to show details of dev status.
2164 - Create update_bacula_tables, ... scripts and modify configure and Makefiles
2165 - Eliminate is_num() and use is_an_integer().
2166 - Add user slot selection code "slots=1,2-3,5,10, ..."
2167 - Start daemons at level 90 rather than 20 so that MySQL will already
2169 - Write alter_mysql_tables.in and alter_sqlite_tables.in
2170 - Add Drive and InChanger to Media record.
2171 - Update database level to 7.
2172 - Add db_make_inchanger_unique() and call it when creating and updating
2174 - Add Drive and InChanger to database code for Media record.
2175 - Allow changing InChanger flag in update command.
2176 - First cut at allowing the user to specify slots for updating autochanger.
2177 - Add scan to "update slots scan".
2178 - Add command in SD to readlabel.
2180 - In the bacula start/stop script, ordered the stop: FD SD Dir to
2181 give the SD the best chances of updating the catalog before dying.
2182 - Add Drive and InChanger to MEDIA_DBR record and to Volume update
2184 - Reorganize the Volume info update from SD so that the Dir sends back the
2185 current information in case the Volume status has changed by expiring.
2186 The DIR-SD protocol is not backward compatible (must update).
2187 - Fixed the signal handler to pass the signal to the exit_handler()
2188 previously it passed 1.
2189 - Modified SD so that on normal shutdown, it walks through all jcrs and
2190 cancels them so that the Volume status will be updated in the catalog.
2191 - Found and fixed a bug where ST_LABEL was not set in append mode
2192 (when a different tape was accepted other than the original one
2193 proposed by the DIR.
2194 - Update the catalog Volume info after dev->file is incremented rather
2195 than waiting for end of job.
2197 - Change getdomainname() prototype for Darwin.
2198 - Add gethost_strerror() to create correct error message for
2200 - After doing a kill() of a stalled connection in watchdog, turn off
2201 the timer to prevent an infinite loop.
2202 - Allow Bacula to rewrite the label on a disk volume.
2203 - Correct usage report printed by bsmtp.
2205 - Complete changing references to bsmtp from smtp.
2206 - Add L_NONE for Admin and Restore jobs and update level_to_str()
2207 - Fix segfault from double free of RestoreBootstrap in job.c
2209 - Change console to bconsole
2210 - Change console.conf to bconsole.conf
2211 - Change smtp to bsmtp
2212 - Implement .bconsolerc
2213 - Check if volume has expired when doing an update media for the SD
2215 - Implement new code that assures that a non-zero Slot is unique within
2216 a given Pool. When setting a non-zero Slot, the Slot of all other
2217 Volumes with the same Slot is set to zero. Redone later to add
2220 - Fix bug reported by Lars where an incorrect Volume name was printed
2221 by the "status dir" command.
2223 - Pretty up a few error messages printed by smtp.
2224 - Make btime_t int64_t so that one can do arithmetic.
2225 - Implement since as utime (64 bit UTC).
2226 - Compute clock diff between Dir and FD, and adjust since time.
2227 - Apply SQL fix from Nic Bellamy (thanks).
2228 - Apply John's zlib #ifdefing fix.
2230 - Add Dan's with-sd-user, ... to configure.in.
2231 - Add Dan's userid and group modifications to bacula.in
2232 - Lots of documentation updates.
2233 - Make console print "Enter a period to cancel a command" when starting.
2234 - Fix the "list nextvol" command so that it doesn't try to close the
2235 database twice, giving a segfault.
2236 - Fix (hopefully) to dircmd.c so that a mount request does a pthread_cond_signal.
2237 There was one path were the signal was not sent. This should fix the bug
2238 that requires you to do two "mount" commands to free a job waiting on a mount.
2239 - Make dir_ask_sysop_to_mount_next_volume() return immediately if a slot is
2241 - Correct some of the messages in testfind.c (pointed out by Dan -- thanks).
2242 - Alias fd to client, sd to storage.
2243 - Changed order of Console commands so that short commands such as q (quit)
2246 2003-11-03 Version 1.32d 02Nov03 Release
2248 - Mainly a bug fix release.
2249 - Do a clean of both Gnome directories.
2250 - Require that FileSet id match when finding an Incremental
2251 previous job. This was already the case for a Full.
2252 - Print message if no status returned from FD.
2253 - Correct "Do not forget to mount the drive" message. Test was
2255 - "status dir" stopped scanning the run records on the first
2256 one that matched giving an incomplete listing.
2257 - Edit commas in Bytes on "estimate" command output.
2259 2003-10-30 Version 1.32c 30Oct03 Release
2261 - Add %v to job edit codes. It edits in the VolumeName(s).
2262 - Add code to ensure that fds 0,1, and 2 are defined by dup'ing them
2263 to /dev/null if necessary. Mostly for Windows that does not have them.
2264 - Error check dir_create_jobmedia_record() 2 places in acquire.c
2267 - Make message buffer longer for a status message that was

2350 - I noticed that SD and FD bootstrap files were not always
2351 deleted, so delete them as soon as possible.
2352 - Restore by file (or by selecting files) created some
2353 horrible looking bsr files that defeated the forward
2354 spacing code, so fix write_findex to work right.
2355 - Add zlib_strerror() routine in filed/restore in case
2357 - In filed/restore.c make sure all error returns cleanup
2358 and close the open file descriptor.
2359 - Make sure to set *non* over filename in attr packet
2360 after file is found, so error messages that print the
2361 filename don't print an old, incorrect name.
2362 - Allow bclose() to be called after closing the file.
2363 - Fix a number of unclear help messages, ... reported by
2365 - Retweak stored/read_record.c so that it does forward
2366 spacing at the beginning of every tape, not just the
2368 - Print repositioning message if verbose is set.

2378 match if the first 1016 bytes of a 32K buffer and
2379 the last 248 bytes are zero. Broke the sparse option.
2381 - More documentation.
2382 - Test if multiple mail addresses works. Yes.
2383 - Add debug Jmsg() to trigger if the file I/O packet is
2384 not closed in the FD, i.e file descriptor leaks.
2385 - When error occurs reading label in mount.c, start from
2386 the very top so that the retry count is in effect.

2415 occur, but continue processing. If more than one occurs,
2416 print number at end of job.

2565 - Yifang Dai reported a case where he stress tested Bacula and
2566 backed up to four volumes, but only two were selected for the
2567 restore. This is because I forgot that the selection could
2568 span a volume entirely.
2569 - Added a missing CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS to the second attempt to open
2570 the MySQL database -- this prevents UPDATE errors if nothing

2659 - Pass prefix links flag to FD.
2660 - Sort list of commands for Console
2661 - Set default FD and SD concurrent jobs to 10.

2674 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
2675 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.

2677 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
2679 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
2681 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
2682 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
2683 for bscan to work correctly.
2684 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
2686 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
2687 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume

2689 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
2690 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
2691 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
2693 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
2694 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
2695 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.

2697 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
2698 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
2699 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
2700 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
2701 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
2702 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
2703 dependencies of sscanf().
2704 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
2705 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
2706 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
2707 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
2708 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
2709 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
2711 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
2712 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
2713 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
2714 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
2715 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
2716 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
2717 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
2719 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
2720 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
2721 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
2722 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
2723 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
2724 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
2725 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
2726 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
2727 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
2728 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
2729 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
2730 there is no working pthread_kill().
2731 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
2732 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
2733 volumes. Now fixed and working!
2734 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
2735 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
2736 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
2737 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
2738 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
2739 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
2740 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
2741 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
2742 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
2743 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
2744 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
2746 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
2747 - Complete Counter resource.
2748 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
2750 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
2751 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
2752 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
2753 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).
2754 - Implement Counter resource.
2755 - Cleanup examples/kernsconfig
2756 - Implement restore to a specific date.
2757 - Fixed a but in automatic labeling (and use durations expiring) analysed
2758 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
2759 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
2760 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
2761 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
2762 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
2763 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
2764 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
2765 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
2768 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
2769 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
2770 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
2771 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
2773 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
2774 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
2775 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
2776 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
2777 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
2778 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
2779 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
2780 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
2782 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
2783 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
2784 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
2785 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
2786 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
2787 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
2788 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
2789 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
2790 - implemented is_stream_supported().
2791 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
2792 - add mtime_only code.
2793 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
2794 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
2795 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
2796 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
2797 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
2798 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
2799 and it is now common for all readers.
2800 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
2801 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
2802 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
2804 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
2805 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
2806 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
2807 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
2808 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
2809 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
2810 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
2811 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
2813 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
2814 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
2815 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
2816 into Pool record on create/updated.
2817 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
2818 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
2819 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
2820 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
2821 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
2822 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
2823 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
2824 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
2825 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
2826 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
2827 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
2828 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
2829 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
2830 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
2831 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
2832 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
2834 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
2835 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
2836 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
2837 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
2838 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
2840 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
2841 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
2842 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
2844 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
2845 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
2846 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
2847 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
2848 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
2849 by overloading the global operators.
2850 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
2851 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
2853 - Started using "bool" where possible.
2854 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
2855 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
2856 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
2858 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
2859 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
2860 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
2861 - Incremented the database version.
2862 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
2864 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
2865 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
2866 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
2867 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
2868 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
2869 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
2870 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
2871 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
2872 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
2873 - Clean up a few error messages.
2874 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
2875 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
2876 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
2877 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
2878 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
2879 numbers are properly written.
2880 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
2881 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
2882 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
2883 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
2884 in a later version).
2885 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
2886 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
2887 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
2888 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
2889 messages are immediately displayed.
2890 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
2891 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
2892 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
2893 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
2894 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
2895 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
2896 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
2897 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
2898 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
2899 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
2901 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
2902 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
2903 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
2904 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
2905 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
2906 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
2907 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
2909 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
2910 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
2912 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
2913 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
2914 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
2915 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
2916 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
2917 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
2918 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
2920 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
2922 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
2923 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
2924 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
2925 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
2927 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
2928 - Add mandrake to platforms
2929 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
2930 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
2931 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
2932 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
2933 - Echo input read from a script in Console.
2934 - Clarify error message for VerifyToCatalog
2935 - Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
2936 - Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
2937 - Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
2938 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
2939 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
2940 as reported by Phil.
2941 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
2942 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
2943 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
2944 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
2945 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
2946 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
2947 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
2948 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
2949 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
2950 - Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
2951 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
2952 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
2953 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
2954 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
2955 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
2956 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
2957 must implement new streams in SD.
2958 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
2959 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
2961 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
2962 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
2963 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
2964 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
2965 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
2966 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
2967 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
2968 - Add platform files for BSDI.
2969 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
2970 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
2971 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
2972 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
2973 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
2974 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
2975 - Begin adding Level = Base.
2976 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
2977 - Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
2978 - Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.
2979 - New bacula.spec from Scott
2980 - Add globals for database name and version and print them in traceback.
2981 - Eliminate SubSysDirectory in each daemon conf file.
2982 - Implement get_yesno() and get_pint() in UA.
2983 - Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
2984 - Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
2985 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
2986 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
2987 - A number of minor code cleanups.
2988 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.
2989 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
2990 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
2991 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
2993 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
2994 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
2995 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
2996 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
2997 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
2998 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
3000 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
3001 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
3002 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
3003 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
3004 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
3005 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
3006 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
3008 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
3009 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
3010 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
3011 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
3012 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
3013 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
3014 any possible confusion.
3015 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
3016 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
3017 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
3018 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
3019 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
3020 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
3021 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
3022 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
3023 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
3024 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
3025 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
3027 - First cut label dialog.
3028 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
3029 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
3030 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
3031 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
3032 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
3033 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
3034 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
3035 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
3036 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
3037 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
3038 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
3039 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
3040 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
3041 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
3042 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
3043 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
3044 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
3045 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
3046 implement individual Console authorization).
3048 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
3049 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
3050 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
3051 be immediately terminated in all cases.
3052 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
3053 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
3054 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
3055 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
3056 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
3057 - Implement When for "run" command.
3058 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
3060 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
3061 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
3062 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
3063 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
3064 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
3065 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
3066 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
3067 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
3068 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
3069 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
3070 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
3072 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
3073 in the console rather than in the Director.
3074 input - read input from a file
3075 output - write output to file
3076 tee - tee output to file and terminal
3077 time - print current time
3078 version - print current version
3081 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
3082 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
3083 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
3084 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
3086 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
3087 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
3088 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
3090 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
3091 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
3092 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
3093 - Lots of documentation of new features.
3094 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
3095 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
3096 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
3097 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
3098 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
3099 saving right away without a tape drive.
3100 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
3101 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
3102 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
3103 are implemented in the Director.
3104 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
3105 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
3106 This includes files moved or copied.
3107 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
3108 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
3109 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
3110 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
3111 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
3112 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
3113 - label barcodes now works.
3114 - Implemented "update slots".
3115 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
3116 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
3117 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
3118 - More work on barcodes.
3119 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
3120 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
3121 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
3122 anything but return the list to the Director.
3123 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
3124 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
3125 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
3126 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
3127 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
3128 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
3129 instead of horizontally.
3130 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
3131 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
3132 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
3133 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
3134 - Lots of new documentation.
3135 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
3136 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
3137 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
3138 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
3139 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
3140 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
3141 - Update client every time a job is run.
3142 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
3143 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
3144 - Release new depkgs
3145 - Release new winbacula.
3146 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
3147 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
3148 Device is requested.
3149 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
3150 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
3151 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
3153 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
3154 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
3155 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
3156 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
3157 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
3158 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
3159 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
3160 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
3161 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
3162 to be able to append.
3163 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
3164 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
3165 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
3166 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
3167 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
3168 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
3169 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
3170 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
3171 certain autochangers.
3172 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
3173 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
3174 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
3175 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
3176 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
3177 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
3179 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
3181 - Final cygwin tweaks.
3182 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
3183 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
3184 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
3185 dealing with bad input.
3186 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
3187 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
3188 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
3189 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
3190 of signal and counting the waiters.
3191 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
3192 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
3193 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
3194 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
3195 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
3196 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
3197 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
3198 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
3199 variables during recycling.
3200 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
3201 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
3202 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
3203 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
3204 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
3205 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
3207 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
3208 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
3209 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
3210 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
3211 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
3212 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
3213 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
3214 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
3215 callers want a new Volume name.
3216 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
3217 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
3218 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
3220 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
3221 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
3223 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
3224 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
3225 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
3226 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
3228 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
3229 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
3230 client not available.
3231 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
3232 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
3234 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
3235 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
3236 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
3237 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
3238 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
3239 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
3240 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
3242 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
3243 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
3244 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
3245 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
3246 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
3247 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
3248 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
3249 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
3251 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
3252 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
3254 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
3255 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
3256 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
3257 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
3258 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
3259 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
3260 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
3261 - Second cut of FileOptions.
3262 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
3263 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
3264 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
3265 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
3266 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
3267 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
3268 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
3269 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
3270 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
3271 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
3272 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
3273 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
3274 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
3275 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
3276 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
3277 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
3278 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
3279 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
3280 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
3281 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
3282 - All changing Pool in console run command.
3283 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
3284 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
3285 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
3286 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
3287 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
3288 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
3289 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
3290 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
3291 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
3292 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
3293 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
3294 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
3295 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
3296 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
3297 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
3298 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
3299 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
3300 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
3301 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
3303 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
3304 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
3305 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
3306 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
3307 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
3309 =============================================================================
3310 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
3312 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
3315 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
3316 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
3317 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
3318 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
3319 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
3320 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
3321 but at least dumps will work).
3323 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
3324 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
3325 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
3326 - Added pthread btimer routines.
3327 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
3328 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
3329 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
3330 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
3332 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
3333 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
3335 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
3336 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
3337 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
3338 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
3339 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
3340 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
3341 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
3343 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
3344 add empty buffer flag).
3346 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
3347 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
3348 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
3351 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
3352 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
3353 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
3354 exactly the same structure.
3355 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
3356 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
3357 of cleanup in message.c
3358 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
3359 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
3360 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
3361 order will be correct.
3362 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
3363 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
3364 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
3365 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
3366 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
3367 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
3368 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
3369 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
3370 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
3371 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
3372 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
3373 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
3374 after the current time -- slow process ...
3376 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
3377 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
3378 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
3380 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
3381 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
3382 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
3383 debugger always works -- we will see.
3384 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
3386 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
3388 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
3389 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
3390 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
3391 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
3392 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
3393 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
3394 jobs finished correctly.
3395 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
3396 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
3397 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
3398 print the full path name.
3399 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
3400 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
3401 duplicate filenames or paths.
3403 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
3404 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
3405 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
3407 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
3408 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
3409 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
3410 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
3411 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
3412 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
3414 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
3415 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
3416 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
3417 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
3418 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
3419 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
3420 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
3423 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
3424 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
3426 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
3427 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
3430 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
3431 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
3432 - Made | and < work.
3433 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
3434 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
3437 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
3438 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
3440 =============================================================================
3441 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
3442 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
3443 reported by James MacLean.
3444 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
3445 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
3446 James MacLean for reporting this.
3448 =============================================================================
3449 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
3450 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
3452 =============================================================================
3453 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
3455 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
3456 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
3457 it as the development goes on.
3458 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
3459 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
3460 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
3461 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
3462 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
3463 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
3466 Changes submitted this submission:
3468 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
3470 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
3471 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
3472 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
3473 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
3475 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
3476 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
3477 splitting path from file).
3479 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
3480 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
3481 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
3483 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
3484 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
3485 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
3487 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
3488 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
3489 handle shorts and long longs.
3491 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
3492 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
3493 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
3494 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
3495 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
3498 - Added more rescue documentation.
3499 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
3500 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
3501 configuration file as the default.
3503 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
3504 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
3507 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
3508 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
3509 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
3510 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
3512 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
3513 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
3514 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
3515 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
3516 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
3518 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
3519 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
3520 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
3521 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
3522 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
3524 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
3525 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
3526 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
3527 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
3529 - Started adding FileOptions ...
3530 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
3531 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
3532 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
3533 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
3534 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
3535 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
3536 block before writing and upon read back.
3537 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
3538 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
3539 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
3540 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
3541 static versions of the daemons.
3543 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
3544 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
3545 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
3546 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
3547 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
3548 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
3549 to help guide the user.
3550 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
3552 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
3553 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
3554 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
3555 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
3557 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
3558 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
3559 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
3561 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
3562 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
3563 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
3564 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
3565 in the restore Console command.
3566 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
3567 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
3568 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
3569 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
3571 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
3573 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
3574 new lib/edit.c file.
3576 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
3577 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
3578 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
3579 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
3580 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
3582 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
3583 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
3584 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
3585 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
3589 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
3590 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
3591 This code is untested.
3592 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
3593 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
3594 as well as getting info from them.
3595 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
3597 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
3598 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
3599 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
3601 - Improved error messages in smtp.
3603 =============================================================================
3604 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
3605 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
3606 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
3608 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
3609 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
3610 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
3612 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
3613 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
3615 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
3616 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
3618 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
3620 General: from kes25Nov02
3621 - Mostly Cygwin changes
3623 Changes submitted this submission:
3624 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
3625 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
3626 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
3627 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
3628 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
3629 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
3630 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
3631 - Build testfind as default.
3632 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
3634 General: from kes21Nov02
3635 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
3636 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
3637 the src/cats directory.
3639 Changes submitted this submission:
3640 - Additional documentation.
3641 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
3642 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
3643 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
3644 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
3645 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
3646 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
3647 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
3648 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
3649 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
3650 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
3651 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
3652 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
3653 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
3654 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
3655 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
3656 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
3657 the SQL noted above.
3658 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
3659 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
3660 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
3661 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
3662 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
3663 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
3665 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
3667 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
3668 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
3669 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
3670 - Add Pool attribute query
3671 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
3672 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
3674 General: from kes18Nov02
3675 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
3676 and prevent buffer overflows.
3678 Changes submitted this submission:
3679 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
3680 jobs get the correct address.
3681 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
3682 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
3683 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
3684 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
3685 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
3687 General: from kes13Nov02
3688 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
3689 ./alter_mysql_tables
3691 ./alter_sqlite_tables
3692 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
3693 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
3695 Changes submitted this submission:
3696 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
3697 when a tape can be marked Used.
3698 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
3699 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
3700 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
3701 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
3702 database. Incremented db version.
3703 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
3704 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
3705 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
3706 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
3707 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
3708 it for MySQL. What a pain!
3709 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
3710 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
3712 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
3713 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
3715 General: from kes09Nov02
3716 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
3717 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
3718 as well as a standard page size.
3719 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
3720 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
3721 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
3722 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
3724 Changes submitted this submission:
3725 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
3726 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
3728 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
3729 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
3731 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
3732 -i option. I have not tested it.
3734 General: from kes30Oct02
3735 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
3736 - bacula stript fixes.
3737 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
3738 - Added openbsd to platforms
3740 Changes submitted this submission:
3741 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
3742 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
3743 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
3744 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
3745 testing was missing.
3746 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
3747 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
3748 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
3749 confusing for the user, but ...
3750 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
3751 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
3753 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
3754 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
3755 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
3756 where the Director seg faulted.
3758 General: from kes29Oct02
3759 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
3761 Changes submitted this submission:
3762 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
3763 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
3764 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
3765 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
3767 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
3768 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
3769 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
3770 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
3771 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
3772 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
3773 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
3774 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
3775 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
3777 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
3779 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
3780 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
3781 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
3782 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
3783 it was a network error.
3784 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
3785 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
3786 console.exe to the release.
3787 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
3788 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
3789 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
3791 General: from kes23Oct02
3792 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
3793 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
3795 - Trademarked name Bacula.
3796 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
3797 will be maintained forever.
3798 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
3801 Changes submitted this submission:
3802 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
3803 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
3804 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
3806 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
3807 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
3808 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
3809 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
3811 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
3812 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
3813 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
3814 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
3815 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
3816 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
3817 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
3818 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
3819 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
3820 This replaces previous floating point times.
3821 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
3822 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
3823 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
3824 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
3825 in the pool to be mounted.
3826 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
3827 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
3828 for it to be enabled.
3829 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
3831 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
3832 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
3833 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
3834 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
3835 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
3836 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
3837 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
3839 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
3840 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
3843 =============================================================================
3844 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
3845 General: from kes10Oct02
3846 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
3847 character on Windows.
3849 Changes submitted this submission:
3850 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
3851 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
3852 - Documentation on GZIP.
3853 - Another restore doc example.
3854 - Documented btape fill command.
3855 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
3856 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
3857 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
3858 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
3859 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
3860 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
3861 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
3862 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
3863 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
3864 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
3865 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
3866 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
3867 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
3868 routines that create files do not print error messages.
3869 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
3870 Currently the following bits are not handled:
3874 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
3876 General: from kes09Oct02
3877 - More documentation.
3878 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
3879 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
3882 Changes submitted this submission:
3883 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
3884 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
3885 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
3886 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
3887 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
3888 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
3889 This will always be zero if no software compression was
3890 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
3891 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
3892 the termination status represents the state of all three
3894 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
3895 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
3898 General: From kes06Oct02
3899 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
3900 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
3901 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
3902 jobs to a File volume.
3903 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
3905 Changes submitted this submission:
3907 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
3908 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
3909 is currently turned off.
3910 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
3912 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
3913 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
3914 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
3915 ./drop_bacula_tables.
3916 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
3917 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
3918 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
3919 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
3920 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
3921 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
3922 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
3923 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
3924 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
3925 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
3927 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
3928 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
3929 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
3930 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
3932 General: From kes25Sep02
3933 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
3936 Changes submitted this submission:
3937 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
3938 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
3939 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
3940 a user -- thank you.
3941 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
3942 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
3943 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
3944 from which you can do a restore.
3945 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
3946 by an explicit ranlib call.
3947 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
3948 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
3949 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
3950 be listed as "Unknown type".
3951 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
3953 General: From kes14Sep02
3954 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
3955 - 64 bit file address support if available.
3956 - Implement autochanger for reading
3957 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
3958 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
3960 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
3961 - Begin implementation of a regression script
3962 - Write bootstrap after ever job
3964 Changes submitted this submission:
3965 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
3966 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
3967 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
3969 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
3970 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
3971 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
3972 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
3973 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
3975 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
3976 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
3977 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
3979 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
3980 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
3981 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
3982 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
3983 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
3985 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
3986 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
3987 acquire_device_for_read()
3988 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
3992 - Fix Volume in bsr.
3993 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
3995 =============================================================================
3996 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
3997 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
3998 will always read the currently mounted tape.
4000 =============================================================================
4001 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
4003 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
4004 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
4005 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
4007 Changes submitted this submission:
4008 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
4010 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
4011 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
4012 for Verify but not really errors.
4015 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
4017 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
4018 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
4019 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
4020 were not properly restored.
4024 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
4025 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
4026 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
4027 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
4028 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
4029 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
4030 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
4031 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
4032 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
4033 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
4034 any restore Job. Arrggg!
4035 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
4036 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
4037 FD not required, but recommended.
4039 Changes submitted this submission:
4040 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
4041 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
4042 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
4043 feedback from users. Thanks.
4044 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
4046 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
4047 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
4048 messages from within the Database subroutines.
4049 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
4050 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
4051 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
4052 of network errors from within the network code.
4053 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
4054 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
4055 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
4056 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
4057 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
4058 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
4059 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
4060 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
4061 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
4062 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
4063 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
4064 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
4065 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
4066 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
4068 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
4069 the restore command.
4070 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
4071 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
4072 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
4073 been done -- thanks Chuck.
4074 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
4075 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
4076 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
4077 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
4078 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
4079 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
4080 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
4081 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
4082 reading them back much easier.
4083 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
4085 =============================================================================
4086 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
4088 - Made a new tools directory.
4089 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
4090 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
4091 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
4092 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
4093 on binaries that actually need it.
4094 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
4095 - Move testfind to tools directory.
4096 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
4097 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
4098 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
4099 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
4100 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
4102 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
4103 listing of the file/directory name.
4104 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
4105 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
4106 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
4107 FileSets, ask user to select one.
4108 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
4109 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
4112 - Made restore actually work.
4113 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
4115 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
4116 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
4117 line arguments. Fixed!
4118 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
4119 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
4120 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
4121 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
4122 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
4123 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
4125 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
4126 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
4127 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
4128 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
4129 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
4130 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
4133 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
4134 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
4135 new read-write lock code.
4136 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
4137 using the rwl_xxx routines.
4138 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
4139 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
4140 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
4141 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
4142 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
4143 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
4144 to the default definition of char.
4145 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
4147 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
4148 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
4149 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
4150 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
4151 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
4152 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
4153 arguments for created run command in restore.
4154 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
4155 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
4156 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
4158 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
4159 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
4160 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
4163 - Did a good amount of documentation.
4164 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
4165 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
4166 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
4167 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
4168 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
4169 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
4170 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
4171 - Increase the sleep time.
4172 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
4173 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
4175 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
4176 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
4177 two or more volumes.
4180 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
4181 - Lots of work on the restore command.
4182 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
4183 when the console program prematurely terminates.
4184 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
4185 them all in the same thread.
4186 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
4187 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
4188 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
4189 on interdaemon communications.
4190 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
4191 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
4192 properly terminated.
4193 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
4197 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
4198 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
4199 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
4200 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
4201 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
4202 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
4203 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
4204 This will permit splitting depkgs.
4205 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
4206 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
4207 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
4208 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
4209 Is dequoting needed?
4210 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
4211 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
4212 but does not produce a dump.
4213 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
4214 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
4215 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
4216 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
4218 ===========================================================================
4219 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
4220 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
4221 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
4223 ===========================================================================
4224 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
4226 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
4227 (still works with older MySQLs).
4228 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
4229 - Added kernstodo to CVS
4230 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
4231 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
4232 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
4233 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
4236 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
4239 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
4240 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
4241 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
4242 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
4243 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
4244 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
4245 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
4246 improve performance.
4247 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
4248 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
4249 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
4250 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
4251 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
4252 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
4253 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
4254 ensure that the door is unlocked.
4255 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
4256 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
4257 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
4258 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
4260 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
4261 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
4263 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
4264 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
4266 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
4267 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
4268 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
4271 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
4273 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
4274 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
4275 is finished with the Job.
4276 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
4277 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
4278 the tape prior to freeing it.
4279 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
4280 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
4281 This permits running an external program with the following editing
4285 %d = Director's name
4294 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
4295 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
4296 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
4298 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
4299 - Currently the changer commands used are:
4300 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
4301 load -- loads a specified slot
4302 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
4303 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
4304 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
4305 slots -- returns total number of slots
4306 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
4307 resource, permits editing of:
4309 %a = archive device name
4310 %c = changer device name
4317 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
4318 specified in the SD Device resource.
4321 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
4322 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
4323 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
4324 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
4325 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
4326 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
4327 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
4328 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
4329 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
4330 to a Console selection request.
4331 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
4332 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
4333 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
4334 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
4335 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
4336 box after history replacement.
4337 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
4338 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
4339 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
4340 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
4341 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
4342 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
4343 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
4344 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
4345 of terminating the Job.
4346 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
4348 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
4352 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
4353 - A fair amount of documentation.
4354 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
4355 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
4356 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
4357 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
4358 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
4359 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
4361 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
4362 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
4363 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
4364 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
4365 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
4366 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
4367 database that you are using.
4368 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
4369 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
4370 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
4371 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
4372 routines even with DEBUG off.
4373 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
4374 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
4375 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
4376 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
4377 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
4378 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
4379 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
4380 handling of errors with minimum code.
4381 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
4382 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
4383 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
4384 resource is part of the Pool resource.
4385 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
4386 yet create a DB record.
4387 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
4389 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
4390 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
4391 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
4393 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
4394 backup and verify volume.
4395 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
4396 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
4397 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
4398 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
4399 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
4400 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
4401 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
4402 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
4403 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
4404 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
4405 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
4406 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
4407 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
4408 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
4409 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
4410 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
4412 ===========================================================================
4413 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
4414 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
4415 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
4416 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
4417 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
4418 will go away in a future release.
4419 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
4420 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
4421 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
4424 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
4425 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
4426 order they appear in the config file.
4427 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
4428 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
4429 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
4430 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
4431 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
4432 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
4433 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
4434 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
4435 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
4436 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
4437 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
4438 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
4439 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
4440 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
4442 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
4443 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
4444 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
4445 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
4448 - Additional documentation.
4449 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
4450 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
4451 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
4452 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
4453 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
4454 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
4459 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
4460 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
4462 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
4463 segment fault on Solaris.
4464 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
4467 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
4468 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
4471 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
4472 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
4473 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
4475 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
4476 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
4477 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
4478 the caller to specify what he wants.
4479 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
4480 and name scanning to lex.
4481 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
4483 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
4484 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
4487 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
4488 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
4489 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
4490 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
4491 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
4492 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
4493 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
4494 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
4495 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
4496 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
4498 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
4499 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
4500 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
4501 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
4502 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
4503 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
4504 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
4506 ===========================================================================
4507 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
4508 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
4509 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
4510 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
4511 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
4512 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
4513 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
4514 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
4515 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
4516 recovery with no database.
4517 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
4518 in your config files.
4519 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
4523 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
4524 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
4525 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
4526 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
4527 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
4529 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
4530 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
4531 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
4532 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
4533 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
4535 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
4536 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
4537 statements per command.
4538 - Implemented three new "query" options:
4539 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
4540 List Volumes used by selected JobId
4541 List Volumes to Restore All Files
4542 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
4543 select the one you want.
4544 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
4545 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
4548 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
4549 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
4550 it with a pthreads mutex.
4551 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
4552 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
4553 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
4554 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
4555 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
4556 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
4563 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
4564 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
4565 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
4566 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
4567 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
4568 add data in the new format to old tapes.
4569 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
4570 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
4571 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
4572 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
4573 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
4574 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
4575 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
4577 ===========================================================================
4578 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
4579 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
4580 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
4581 - Fixed the query command bug.
4582 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
4583 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
4584 points to a working directory.
4585 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
4586 permits a core dump.
4587 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
4588 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
4589 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
4591 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
4592 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
4593 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
4594 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
4595 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
4596 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
4597 potential source of errors.
4598 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
4599 to the Schedule Run record.
4600 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
4601 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
4602 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
4603 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
4604 earlier code reorganization.
4605 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
4606 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
4607 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
4608 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
4609 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
4610 keep around legacy code.
4611 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
4612 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
4613 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
4614 by turning off autopruning.
4615 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
4616 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
4617 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
4618 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
4619 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
4620 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
4621 it forces the specified pruning.
4622 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
4624 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
4625 in place of P() and V().
4626 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
4628 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
4629 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
4630 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
4631 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
4632 calls the UA prune routines.
4633 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
4634 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
4635 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
4636 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
4637 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
4638 daemons if they listen on different ports.
4639 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
4640 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
4641 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
4642 it should be its own typedef.
4643 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
4644 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
4645 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
4646 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
4647 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
4648 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
4649 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
4650 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
4651 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
4652 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
4654 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
4655 the number of Files pruned in the message.
4656 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
4657 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
4658 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
4661 ===========================================================================
4662 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
4663 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
4664 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
4665 commands documented.
4666 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
4667 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
4668 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
4669 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
4670 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
4671 due to a bug in MySQL.
4672 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
4673 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
4674 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
4675 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
4676 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
4677 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
4678 Bug reported by Phil.
4679 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
4680 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
4681 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
4682 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
4683 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
4684 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
4685 older gcc compilers.
4686 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
4687 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
4688 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
4689 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
4690 in UserAgent server.
4691 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
4692 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
4693 - Delete unused code from backup.c
4694 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
4695 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
4696 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
4697 This dummy value should never be printed.
4698 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
4699 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
4700 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
4702 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
4703 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
4704 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
4706 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
4707 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
4708 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
4709 new btime_t definition.
4710 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
4711 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
4712 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
4713 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
4714 descriptive of what is done.
4715 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
4716 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
4717 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
4718 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
4719 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
4720 - Additional config options for Console.
4721 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
4722 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
4723 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
4724 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
4725 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
4726 to modify Media table.
4727 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
4728 message if the make ends in error.
4729 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
4730 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
4731 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
4732 all associated records in the database.
4733 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
4734 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
4735 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
4736 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
4737 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
4738 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
4739 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
4740 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
4741 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
4742 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
4744 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
4745 kept in ua and jcr structures).
4746 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
4747 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
4748 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
4749 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
4750 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
4751 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
4752 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
4753 - Make console accept redirected input.
4754 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
4755 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
4756 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
4757 - Use JobId_t in more places.
4758 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
4759 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
4760 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
4761 future changes in the database. This should prevent
4762 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
4763 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
4764 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
4765 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
4766 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
4767 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
4768 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
4769 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
4770 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
4771 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
4772 - Purge Volume now works.
4773 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
4774 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
4775 More work to be done to search for termcap.
4776 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
4777 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
4778 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
4779 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
4780 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
4781 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
4782 not have the ALTER SQL command.
4783 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
4784 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
4785 This value is used when doing pruning.
4786 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
4787 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
4788 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
4789 retention period changes.
4790 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
4791 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
4793 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
4794 message resources. Much more work to be done.
4795 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
4797 ===========================================================================
4798 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
4799 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
4800 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
4801 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
4802 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
4803 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
4804 due to a bug in MySQL.
4805 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
4806 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
4807 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
4808 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
4809 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
4810 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
4811 Bug reported by Phil.
4812 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
4813 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
4814 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
4815 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
4817 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
4818 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
4819 older gcc compilers.
4820 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
4823 ===========================================================================
4824 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
4825 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
4827 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
4828 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
4829 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
4830 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
4831 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
4832 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
4833 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
4834 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
4835 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
4836 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
4837 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
4838 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
4839 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
4840 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
4841 broke the restore code.
4842 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
4843 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
4844 variable block sizes.
4845 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
4846 (at least on DAT tapes).
4847 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
4848 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
4850 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
4852 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
4853 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
4854 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
4855 prototype problem for C++.
4857 ===========================================================================
4858 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
4859 - Many intervening changes/updates.

4862 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
4863 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
4865 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
4866 - Helped John install at his site.
4867 He is backing up one Linux machine and

4870 2001-mm-dd Many releases
4871 - Released internally.
4873 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
4874 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
4875 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
4876 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
4877 remains a lot to do.
4878 - The file search code is now integrated into the
4879 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
4880 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
4881 all the database records are being created, though
4882 there still remains some work in getting all the
4883 details into the records (such as the Storage
4885 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
4886 - I've defined error message handling though no code
4888 - The following resources and records are implemented
4889 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
4892 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
4895 Password (not yet used)
4897 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
4901 Backup (only one permitted)
4904 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
4907 Include (options ignored)
4908 Exclude (no options)
4913 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
4916 Address, Port, Password (not used)
4919 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
4921 - Added Storage configuration routines.
4923 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
4925 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
4928 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
4929 Archive Device (defines device name)
4932 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
4933 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
4934 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
4935 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
4936 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
4937 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
4938 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
4939 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
4941 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
4942 implement it in the daemons.
4943 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
4944 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
4945 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
4948 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
4949 - Integrated John's fixes.
4950 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
4951 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
4952 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
4953 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
4955 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
4956 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
4957 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
4959 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
4960 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
