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

265 - In restore print only volumes that will actually be used.
266 - Fix bextract -- add appropriate breaks in new case code.
267 - Add a new test -- bsr-opt-test for testing bsr optimization. As usual,

286 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
287 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
288 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
289 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
291 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
293 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
294 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
295 for bscan to work correctly.
296 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
298 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
299 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
300 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
301 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
302 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
303 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
305 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
306 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
307 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.

309 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
310 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
311 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
312 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
313 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
314 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
315 dependencies of sscanf().
316 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
317 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
318 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
319 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
320 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
321 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
323 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
324 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
325 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
326 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
327 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
328 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
329 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
331 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
332 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
333 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
334 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
335 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
336 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
337 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
338 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
339 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
340 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
341 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
342 there is no working pthread_kill().
343 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
344 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
345 volumes. Now fixed and working!
346 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
347 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
348 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
349 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
350 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
351 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
352 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
353 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
354 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
355 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
356 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
358 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
359 - Complete Counter resource.
360 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
362 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
363 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
364 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
365 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).

370 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
371 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
372 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
373 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
374 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
375 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
376 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
377 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
380 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
381 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
382 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
383 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
385 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
386 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
387 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
388 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
389 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
390 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
391 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
392 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
394 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
395 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
396 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
397 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
398 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
399 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
400 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
401 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
402 - implemented is_stream_supported().
403 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
404 - add mtime_only code.
405 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
406 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
407 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
408 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
409 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
410 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
411 and it is now common for all readers.
412 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
413 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
414 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
416 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
417 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
418 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
419 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
420 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
421 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
422 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
423 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
425 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
426 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
427 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
428 into Pool record on create/updated.
429 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
430 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
431 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
432 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
433 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
434 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
435 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
436 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
437 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
438 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
439 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
440 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
441 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
442 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
443 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.

447 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
448 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
449 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
450 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
452 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
453 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
454 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
456 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
457 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
458 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
459 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
460 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
461 by overloading the global operators.

471 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
472 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
473 - Incremented the database version.
474 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
476 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
477 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
478 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
479 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
480 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
481 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h

487 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
488 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
489 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
490 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
491 numbers are properly written.
492 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
493 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
494 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
495 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
497 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
498 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
499 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
500 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
501 messages are immediately displayed.
502 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
503 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
504 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
505 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
506 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
507 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
508 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
509 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
510 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
511 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
513 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
514 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
515 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
516 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
517 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
518 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
519 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
521 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
522 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
524 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
525 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
526 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
527 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
528 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
529 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
530 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
532 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
534 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
535 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
536 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
537 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
539 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
540 - Add mandrake to platforms
541 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
542 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
543 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
544 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
545 - Echo input read from a script in Console.

550 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
551 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
553 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
554 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
555 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
556 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
557 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
558 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
559 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
560 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
561 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
562 - Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
563 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
564 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
565 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
566 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
567 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
568 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
569 must implement new streams in SD.
570 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
571 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
573 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
574 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
575 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
576 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
577 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
578 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
579 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
580 - Add platform files for BSDI.
581 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
582 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
583 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
584 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
585 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
586 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
587 - Begin adding Level = Base.
588 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
589 - Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
590 - Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.
591 - New bacula.spec from Scott
592 - Add globals for database name and version and print them in traceback.
593 - Eliminate SubSysDirectory in each daemon conf file.
594 - Implement get_yesno() and get_pint() in UA.
595 - Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
596 - Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
597 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
598 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
599 - A number of minor code cleanups.
600 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.
601 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
602 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
603 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
605 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
606 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
607 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
608 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
609 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
610 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
612 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
613 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
614 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
615 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
616 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
617 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
618 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
620 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
621 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
622 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
623 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
624 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
625 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
626 any possible confusion.
627 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
628 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
629 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
630 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
631 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
632 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
633 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
634 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
635 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
636 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
637 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
639 - First cut label dialog.
640 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
641 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
642 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
643 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
644 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
645 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
646 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
647 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
648 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
649 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
650 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
651 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
652 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
653 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
654 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
655 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
656 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
657 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
658 implement individual Console authorization).
660 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
661 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
662 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
663 be immediately terminated in all cases.
664 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
665 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
666 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
667 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
668 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
669 - Implement When for "run" command.
670 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
672 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
673 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
674 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
675 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
676 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
677 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
678 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
679 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
680 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
681 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
682 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
684 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
685 in the console rather than in the Director.
686 input - read input from a file
687 output - write output to file
688 tee - tee output to file and terminal
689 time - print current time
690 version - print current version
693 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
694 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
695 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
696 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
698 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
699 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
700 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
702 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
703 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
704 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
705 - Lots of documentation of new features.
706 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
707 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
708 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
709 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
710 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
711 saving right away without a tape drive.
712 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
713 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
714 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
715 are implemented in the Director.
716 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
717 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
718 This includes files moved or copied.
719 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
720 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
721 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
722 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
723 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
724 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
725 - label barcodes now works.
726 - Implemented "update slots".
727 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
728 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
729 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
730 - More work on barcodes.
731 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
732 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
733 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
734 anything but return the list to the Director.
735 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
736 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
737 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
738 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
739 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
740 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
741 instead of horizontally.
742 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
743 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
744 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
745 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
746 - Lots of new documentation.
747 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
748 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
749 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
750 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
751 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
752 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
753 - Update client every time a job is run.
754 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
755 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
757 - Release new winbacula.
758 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
759 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
761 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
762 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
763 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
765 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
766 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
767 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
768 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
769 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
770 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
771 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
772 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
773 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
774 to be able to append.
775 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
776 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
777 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
778 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
779 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
780 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
781 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
782 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
783 certain autochangers.
784 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
785 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
786 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
787 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
788 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
789 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
791 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
793 - Final cygwin tweaks.
794 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
795 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
796 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
797 dealing with bad input.
798 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
799 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
800 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
801 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
802 of signal and counting the waiters.
803 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
804 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
805 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
806 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
807 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
808 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
809 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
810 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
811 variables during recycling.
812 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
813 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
814 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
815 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
816 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
817 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
819 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
820 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
821 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
822 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
823 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
824 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
825 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
826 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
827 callers want a new Volume name.
828 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
829 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
830 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
832 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
833 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
835 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
836 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
837 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
838 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
840 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
841 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
842 client not available.
843 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
844 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
846 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
847 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
848 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
849 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
850 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
851 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
852 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
854 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
855 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
856 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
857 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
858 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
859 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
860 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
861 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
863 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
864 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
866 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
867 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
868 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
869 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
870 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
871 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
872 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
873 - Second cut of FileOptions.
874 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
875 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
876 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
877 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
878 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
879 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
880 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
881 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
882 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
883 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
884 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
885 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
886 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
887 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
888 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
889 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
890 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
891 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
892 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
893 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
894 - All changing Pool in console run command.
895 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
896 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
897 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
898 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
899 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
900 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
901 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
902 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
903 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
904 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
905 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
906 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
907 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
908 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
909 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
910 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
911 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
912 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
913 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
915 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
916 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
917 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
918 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
919 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
921 =============================================================================
922 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
924 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
927 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
928 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
929 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
930 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
931 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
932 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
933 but at least dumps will work).
935 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
936 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
937 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
938 - Added pthread btimer routines.
939 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
940 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
941 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
942 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
944 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
945 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
947 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
948 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
949 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
950 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
951 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
952 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
953 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
955 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
956 add empty buffer flag).
958 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
959 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
960 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
963 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
964 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
965 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
966 exactly the same structure.
967 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
968 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
969 of cleanup in message.c
970 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
971 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
972 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
973 order will be correct.
974 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
975 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
976 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
977 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
978 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
979 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
980 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
981 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
982 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
983 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
984 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
985 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
986 after the current time -- slow process ...
988 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
989 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
990 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
992 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
993 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
994 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
995 debugger always works -- we will see.
996 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
998 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
1000 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
1001 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
1002 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
1003 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
1004 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
1005 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
1006 jobs finished correctly.
1007 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
1008 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
1009 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
1010 print the full path name.
1011 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
1012 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
1013 duplicate filenames or paths.
1015 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
1016 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
1017 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
1019 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
1020 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
1021 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
1022 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
1023 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
1024 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
1026 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
1027 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
1028 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
1029 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
1030 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
1031 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
1032 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
1035 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
1036 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
1038 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
1039 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
1042 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
1043 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
1044 - Made | and < work.
1045 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
1046 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
1049 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
1050 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
1052 =============================================================================
1053 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
1054 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
1055 reported by James MacLean.
1056 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
1057 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
1058 James MacLean for reporting this.
1060 =============================================================================
1061 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
1062 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
1064 =============================================================================
1065 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
1067 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
1068 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
1069 it as the development goes on.
1070 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
1071 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
1072 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
1073 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
1074 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
1075 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
1078 Changes submitted this submission:
1080 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
1082 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
1083 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
1084 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
1085 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
1087 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
1088 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
1089 splitting path from file).
1091 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
1092 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
1093 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
1095 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
1096 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
1097 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
1099 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
1100 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
1101 handle shorts and long longs.
1103 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
1104 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
1105 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
1106 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
1107 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
1110 - Added more rescue documentation.
1111 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
1112 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
1113 configuration file as the default.
1115 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
1116 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
1119 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
1120 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
1121 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
1122 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
1124 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
1125 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
1126 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
1127 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
1128 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
1130 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
1131 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
1132 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
1133 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
1134 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
1136 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
1137 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
1138 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
1139 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
1141 - Started adding FileOptions ...
1142 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
1143 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
1144 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
1145 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
1146 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
1147 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
1148 block before writing and upon read back.
1149 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
1150 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
1151 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
1152 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
1153 static versions of the daemons.
1155 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
1156 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
1157 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
1158 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
1159 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
1160 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
1161 to help guide the user.
1162 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
1164 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
1165 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
1166 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
1167 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
1169 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
1170 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
1171 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
1173 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
1174 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
1175 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
1176 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
1177 in the restore Console command.
1178 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
1179 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
1180 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
1181 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
1183 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
1185 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
1186 new lib/edit.c file.
1188 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
1189 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
1190 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
1191 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
1192 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
1194 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
1195 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
1196 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
1197 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
1201 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
1202 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
1203 This code is untested.
1204 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
1205 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
1206 as well as getting info from them.
1207 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
1209 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
1210 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
1211 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
1213 - Improved error messages in smtp.
1215 =============================================================================
1216 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
1217 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
1218 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
1220 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
1221 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
1222 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
1224 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
1225 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
1227 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
1228 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
1230 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
1232 General: from kes25Nov02
1233 - Mostly Cygwin changes
1235 Changes submitted this submission:
1236 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
1237 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
1238 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
1239 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
1240 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
1241 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
1242 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
1243 - Build testfind as default.
1244 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
1246 General: from kes21Nov02
1247 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
1248 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
1249 the src/cats directory.
1251 Changes submitted this submission:
1252 - Additional documentation.
1253 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
1254 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
1255 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
1256 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
1257 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
1258 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
1259 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
1260 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
1261 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
1262 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
1263 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
1264 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
1265 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
1266 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
1267 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
1268 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
1269 the SQL noted above.
1270 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
1271 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
1272 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
1273 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
1274 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
1275 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
1277 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
1279 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
1280 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
1281 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
1282 - Add Pool attribute query
1283 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
1284 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
1286 General: from kes18Nov02
1287 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
1288 and prevent buffer overflows.
1290 Changes submitted this submission:
1291 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
1292 jobs get the correct address.
1293 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
1294 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
1295 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
1296 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
1297 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
1299 General: from kes13Nov02
1300 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
1301 ./alter_mysql_tables
1303 ./alter_sqlite_tables
1304 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
1305 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
1307 Changes submitted this submission:
1308 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
1309 when a tape can be marked Used.
1310 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
1311 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
1312 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
1313 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
1314 database. Incremented db version.
1315 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
1316 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
1317 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
1318 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
1319 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
1320 it for MySQL. What a pain!
1321 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
1322 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
1324 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
1325 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
1327 General: from kes09Nov02
1328 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
1329 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
1330 as well as a standard page size.
1331 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
1332 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
1333 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
1334 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
1336 Changes submitted this submission:
1337 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
1338 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
1340 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
1341 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
1343 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
1344 -i option. I have not tested it.
1346 General: from kes30Oct02
1347 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
1348 - bacula stript fixes.
1349 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
1350 - Added openbsd to platforms
1352 Changes submitted this submission:
1353 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
1354 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
1355 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
1356 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
1357 testing was missing.
1358 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
1359 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
1360 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
1361 confusing for the user, but ...
1362 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
1363 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
1365 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
1366 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
1367 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
1368 where the Director seg faulted.
1370 General: from kes29Oct02
1371 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
1373 Changes submitted this submission:
1374 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
1375 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
1376 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
1377 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
1379 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
1380 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
1381 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
1382 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
1383 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
1384 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
1385 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
1386 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
1387 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
1389 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
1391 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
1392 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
1393 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
1394 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
1395 it was a network error.
1396 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
1397 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
1398 console.exe to the release.
1399 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
1400 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
1401 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
1403 General: from kes23Oct02
1404 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
1405 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
1407 - Trademarked name Bacula.
1408 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
1409 will be maintained forever.
1410 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
1413 Changes submitted this submission:
1414 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
1415 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
1416 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
1418 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
1419 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
1420 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
1421 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
1423 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
1424 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
1425 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
1426 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
1427 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
1428 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
1429 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
1430 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
1431 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
1432 This replaces previous floating point times.
1433 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
1434 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
1435 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
1436 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
1437 in the pool to be mounted.
1438 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
1439 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
1440 for it to be enabled.
1441 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
1443 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
1444 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
1445 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
1446 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
1447 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
1448 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
1449 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
1451 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
1452 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
1455 =============================================================================
1456 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
1457 General: from kes10Oct02
1458 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
1459 character on Windows.
1461 Changes submitted this submission:
1462 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
1463 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
1464 - Documentation on GZIP.
1465 - Another restore doc example.
1466 - Documented btape fill command.
1467 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
1468 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
1469 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
1470 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
1471 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
1472 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
1473 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
1474 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
1475 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
1476 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
1477 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
1478 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
1479 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
1480 routines that create files do not print error messages.
1481 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
1482 Currently the following bits are not handled:
1486 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
1488 General: from kes09Oct02
1489 - More documentation.
1490 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1491 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1494 Changes submitted this submission:
1495 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
1496 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
1497 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
1498 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
1499 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
1500 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
1501 This will always be zero if no software compression was
1502 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
1503 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
1504 the termination status represents the state of all three
1506 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1507 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1510 General: From kes06Oct02
1511 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
1512 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
1513 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
1514 jobs to a File volume.
1515 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
1517 Changes submitted this submission:
1519 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
1520 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
1521 is currently turned off.
1522 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
1524 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
1525 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
1526 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
1527 ./drop_bacula_tables.
1528 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
1529 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
1530 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
1531 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
1532 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
1533 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
1534 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
1535 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
1536 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
1537 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
1539 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
1540 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
1541 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
1542 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
1544 General: From kes25Sep02
1545 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
1548 Changes submitted this submission:
1549 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
1550 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
1551 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
1552 a user -- thank you.
1553 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
1554 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
1555 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
1556 from which you can do a restore.
1557 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
1558 by an explicit ranlib call.
1559 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
1560 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
1561 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
1562 be listed as "Unknown type".
1563 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
1565 General: From kes14Sep02
1566 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
1567 - 64 bit file address support if available.
1568 - Implement autochanger for reading
1569 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
1570 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
1572 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
1573 - Begin implementation of a regression script
1574 - Write bootstrap after ever job
1576 Changes submitted this submission:
1577 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
1578 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
1579 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
1581 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
1582 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
1583 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
1584 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
1585 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
1587 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
1588 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
1589 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
1591 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
1592 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
1593 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
1594 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
1595 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
1597 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
1598 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
1599 acquire_device_for_read()
1600 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
1604 - Fix Volume in bsr.
1605 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
1607 =============================================================================
1608 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
1609 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
1610 will always read the currently mounted tape.
1612 =============================================================================
1613 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
1615 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
1616 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
1617 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
1619 Changes submitted this submission:
1620 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
1622 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
1623 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
1624 for Verify but not really errors.
1627 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
1629 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
1630 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
1631 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
1632 were not properly restored.
1636 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
1637 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
1638 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
1639 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
1640 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
1641 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
1642 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
1643 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
1644 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
1645 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
1646 any restore Job. Arrggg!
1647 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
1648 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
1649 FD not required, but recommended.
1651 Changes submitted this submission:
1652 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
1653 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
1654 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
1655 feedback from users. Thanks.
1656 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
1658 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
1659 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
1660 messages from within the Database subroutines.
1661 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
1662 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
1663 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
1664 of network errors from within the network code.
1665 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
1666 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
1667 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
1668 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
1669 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
1670 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
1671 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
1672 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
1673 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
1674 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
1675 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
1676 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
1677 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
1678 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
1680 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
1681 the restore command.
1682 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
1683 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
1684 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
1685 been done -- thanks Chuck.
1686 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
1687 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
1688 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
1689 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
1690 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
1691 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
1692 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
1693 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
1694 reading them back much easier.
1695 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
1697 =============================================================================
1698 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
1700 - Made a new tools directory.
1701 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
1702 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
1703 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
1704 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
1705 on binaries that actually need it.
1706 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
1707 - Move testfind to tools directory.
1708 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
1709 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
1710 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
1711 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
1712 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
1714 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
1715 listing of the file/directory name.
1716 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
1717 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
1718 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
1719 FileSets, ask user to select one.
1720 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
1721 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
1724 - Made restore actually work.
1725 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
1727 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
1728 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
1729 line arguments. Fixed!
1730 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
1731 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
1732 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
1733 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
1734 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
1735 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
1737 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
1738 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
1739 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
1740 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
1741 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
1742 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
1745 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
1746 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
1747 new read-write lock code.
1748 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
1749 using the rwl_xxx routines.
1750 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
1751 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
1752 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
1753 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
1754 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
1755 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
1756 to the default definition of char.
1757 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
1759 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
1760 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
1761 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
1762 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
1763 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
1764 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
1765 arguments for created run command in restore.
1766 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
1767 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
1768 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
1770 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
1771 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
1772 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
1775 - Did a good amount of documentation.
1776 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
1777 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
1778 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
1779 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
1780 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
1781 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
1782 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
1783 - Increase the sleep time.
1784 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
1785 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
1787 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
1788 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
1789 two or more volumes.
1792 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
1793 - Lots of work on the restore command.
1794 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
1795 when the console program prematurely terminates.
1796 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
1797 them all in the same thread.
1798 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
1799 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
1800 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
1801 on interdaemon communications.
1802 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
1803 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
1804 properly terminated.
1805 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
1809 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
1810 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
1811 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
1812 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
1813 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
1814 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
1815 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
1816 This will permit splitting depkgs.
1817 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
1818 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
1819 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
1820 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
1821 Is dequoting needed?
1822 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
1823 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
1824 but does not produce a dump.
1825 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
1826 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
1827 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
1828 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
1830 ===========================================================================
1831 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
1832 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
1833 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
1835 ===========================================================================
1836 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
1838 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
1839 (still works with older MySQLs).
1840 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
1841 - Added kernstodo to CVS
1842 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
1843 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
1844 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
1845 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
1848 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
1851 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
1852 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
1853 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
1854 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
1855 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
1856 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
1857 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
1858 improve performance.
1859 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
1860 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
1861 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
1862 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
1863 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
1864 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
1865 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
1866 ensure that the door is unlocked.
1867 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
1868 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
1869 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
1870 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
1872 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
1873 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
1875 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
1876 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
1878 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
1879 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
1880 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
1883 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
1885 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
1886 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
1887 is finished with the Job.
1888 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
1889 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
1890 the tape prior to freeing it.
1891 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
1892 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
1893 This permits running an external program with the following editing
1897 %d = Director's name
1906 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
1907 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
1908 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
1910 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
1911 - Currently the changer commands used are:
1912 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
1913 load -- loads a specified slot
1914 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
1915 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
1916 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
1917 slots -- returns total number of slots
1918 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
1919 resource, permits editing of:
1921 %a = archive device name
1922 %c = changer device name
1929 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
1930 specified in the SD Device resource.
1933 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
1934 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
1935 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
1936 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
1937 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
1938 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
1939 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
1940 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
1941 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
1942 to a Console selection request.
1943 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
1944 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
1945 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
1946 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
1947 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
1948 box after history replacement.
1949 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
1950 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
1951 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
1952 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
1953 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
1954 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
1955 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
1956 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
1957 of terminating the Job.
1958 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
1960 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
1964 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
1965 - A fair amount of documentation.
1966 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
1967 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
1968 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
1969 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
1970 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
1971 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
1973 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
1974 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
1975 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
1976 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
1977 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
1978 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
1979 database that you are using.
1980 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
1981 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
1982 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
1983 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
1984 routines even with DEBUG off.
1985 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
1986 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
1987 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
1988 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
1989 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
1990 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
1991 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
1992 handling of errors with minimum code.
1993 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
1994 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
1995 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
1996 resource is part of the Pool resource.
1997 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
1998 yet create a DB record.
1999 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
2001 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
2002 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
2003 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
2005 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
2006 backup and verify volume.
2007 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
2008 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
2009 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
2010 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
2011 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
2012 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
2013 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
2014 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
2015 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
2016 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
2017 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
2018 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
2019 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
2020 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
2021 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
2022 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
2024 ===========================================================================
2025 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
2026 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
2027 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
2028 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
2029 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
2030 will go away in a future release.
2031 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
2032 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
2033 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
2036 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
2037 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
2038 order they appear in the config file.
2039 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
2040 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
2041 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
2042 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
2043 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
2044 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
2045 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
2046 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
2047 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
2048 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
2049 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
2050 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
2051 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
2052 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
2054 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
2055 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
2056 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
2057 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
2060 - Additional documentation.
2061 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
2062 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
2063 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
2064 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
2065 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
2066 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
2071 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
2072 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
2074 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
2075 segment fault on Solaris.
2076 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
2079 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
2080 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
2083 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
2084 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
2085 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
2087 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
2088 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
2089 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
2090 the caller to specify what he wants.
2091 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
2092 and name scanning to lex.
2093 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
2095 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
2096 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
2099 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
2100 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
2101 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
2102 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
2103 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
2104 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
2105 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
2106 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
2107 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
2108 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
2110 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
2111 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
2112 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
2113 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
2114 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
2115 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
2116 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
2118 ===========================================================================
2119 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
2120 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
2121 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
2122 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
2123 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
2124 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
2125 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
2126 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
2127 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
2128 recovery with no database.
2129 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
2130 in your config files.
2131 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
2135 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
2136 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
2137 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
2138 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
2139 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
2141 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
2142 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
2143 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
2144 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
2145 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
2147 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
2148 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
2149 statements per command.
2150 - Implemented three new "query" options:
2151 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
2152 List Volumes used by selected JobId
2153 List Volumes to Restore All Files
2154 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
2155 select the one you want.
2156 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
2157 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
2160 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
2161 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
2162 it with a pthreads mutex.
2163 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
2164 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
2165 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
2166 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
2167 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
2168 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
2175 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
2176 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
2177 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
2178 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
2179 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
2180 add data in the new format to old tapes.
2181 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
2182 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
2183 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
2184 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
2185 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
2186 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
2187 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
2189 ===========================================================================
2190 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
2191 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
2192 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
2193 - Fixed the query command bug.
2194 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
2195 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
2196 points to a working directory.
2197 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
2198 permits a core dump.
2199 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
2200 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
2201 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
2203 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
2204 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
2205 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
2206 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
2207 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
2208 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
2209 potential source of errors.
2210 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
2211 to the Schedule Run record.
2212 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
2213 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
2214 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
2215 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
2216 earlier code reorganization.
2217 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
2218 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
2219 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
2220 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
2221 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
2222 keep around legacy code.
2223 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
2224 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
2225 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
2226 by turning off autopruning.
2227 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
2228 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
2229 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
2230 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
2231 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
2232 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
2233 it forces the specified pruning.
2234 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
2236 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
2237 in place of P() and V().
2238 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
2240 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
2241 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
2242 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
2243 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
2244 calls the UA prune routines.
2245 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
2246 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
2247 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
2248 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
2249 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
2250 daemons if they listen on different ports.
2251 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
2252 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
2253 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
2254 it should be its own typedef.
2255 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
2256 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
2257 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
2258 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
2259 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
2260 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
2261 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
2262 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
2263 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
2264 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
2266 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
2267 the number of Files pruned in the message.
2268 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
2269 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
2270 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
2273 ===========================================================================
2274 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
2275 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
2276 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
2277 commands documented.
2278 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
2279 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
2280 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
2281 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
2282 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
2283 due to a bug in MySQL.
2284 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
2285 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
2286 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
2287 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
2288 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
2289 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
2290 Bug reported by Phil.
2291 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
2292 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
2293 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
2294 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
2295 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
2296 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
2297 older gcc compilers.
2298 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
2299 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
2300 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
2301 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
2302 in UserAgent server.
2303 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
2304 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
2305 - Delete unused code from backup.c
2306 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
2307 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
2308 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
2309 This dummy value should never be printed.
2310 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
2311 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
2312 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
2314 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
2315 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
2316 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
2318 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
2319 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
2320 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
2321 new btime_t definition.
2322 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
2323 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
2324 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
2325 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
2326 descriptive of what is done.
2327 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
2328 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
2329 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
2330 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
2331 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
2332 - Additional config options for Console.
2333 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
2334 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
2335 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
2336 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
2337 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
2338 to modify Media table.
2339 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
2340 message if the make ends in error.
2341 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
2342 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
2343 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
2344 all associated records in the database.
2345 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
2346 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
2347 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
2348 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
2349 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
2350 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
2351 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
2352 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
2353 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
2354 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
2356 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
2357 kept in ua and jcr structures).
2358 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
2359 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
2360 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
2361 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
2362 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
2363 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
2364 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
2365 - Make console accept redirected input.
2366 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
2367 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
2368 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
2369 - Use JobId_t in more places.
2370 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
2371 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
2372 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
2373 future changes in the database. This should prevent
2374 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
2375 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
2376 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
2377 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
2378 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
2379 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
2380 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
2381 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
2382 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
2383 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
2384 - Purge Volume now works.
2385 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
2386 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
2387 More work to be done to search for termcap.
2388 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
2389 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
2390 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
2391 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
2392 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
2393 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
2394 not have the ALTER SQL command.
2395 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
2396 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
2397 This value is used when doing pruning.
2398 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
2399 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
2400 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
2401 retention period changes.
2402 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
2403 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
2405 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
2406 message resources. Much more work to be done.
2407 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
2409 ===========================================================================
2410 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
2411 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
2412 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
2413 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
2414 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
2415 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
2416 due to a bug in MySQL.
2417 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
2418 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
2419 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
2420 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
2421 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
2422 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
2423 Bug reported by Phil.
2424 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
2425 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
2426 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
2427 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
2429 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
2430 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
2431 older gcc compilers.
2432 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
2435 ===========================================================================
2436 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
2437 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
2439 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
2440 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
2441 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
2442 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
2443 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
2444 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
2445 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
2446 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
2447 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
2448 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
2449 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
2450 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
2451 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
2452 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
2453 broke the restore code.
2454 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
2455 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
2456 variable block sizes.
2457 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
2458 (at least on DAT tapes).
2459 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
2460 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
2462 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
2464 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
2465 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
2466 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
2467 prototype problem for C++.
2469 ===========================================================================
2470 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald

2478 - Helped John install at his site.
2479 He is backing up one Linux machine and
2480 one Win2000 machine.

2483 - Released internally.
2485 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
2486 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
2487 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
2488 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
2489 remains a lot to do.
2490 - The file search code is now integrated into the
2491 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
2492 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
2493 all the database records are being created, though
2494 there still remains some work in getting all the
2495 details into the records (such as the Storage
2497 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
2498 - I've defined error message handling though no code
2500 - The following resources and records are implemented
2501 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
2504 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
2507 Password (not yet used)
2509 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
2513 Backup (only one permitted)
2516 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
2519 Include (options ignored)
2520 Exclude (no options)
2525 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
2528 Address, Port, Password (not used)
2531 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
2533 - Added Storage configuration routines.
2535 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
2537 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
2540 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
2541 Archive Device (defines device name)
2544 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
2545 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
2546 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
2547 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
2548 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
2549 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
2550 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
2551 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
2553 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
2554 implement it in the daemons.
2555 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
2556 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
2557 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
