1 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
2 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
3 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
4 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
5 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
6 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
7 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
8 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
10 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
11 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
12 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
13 into Pool record on create/updated.
14 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
15 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
16 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
17 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
18 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
19 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
20 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
21 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
22 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
23 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
24 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
25 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
26 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
27 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
28 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
29 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
31 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
32 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
33 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
34 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
35 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
37 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
38 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
39 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
41 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
42 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
43 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
44 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
45 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
46 by overloading the global operators.
47 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
48 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
50 - Started using "bool" where possible.
51 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
52 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
53 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
55 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
56 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
57 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
58 - Incremented the database version.
59 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
61 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
62 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
63 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
64 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
65 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
66 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
67 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
68 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
69 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
70 - Clean up a few error messages.
71 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
72 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
73 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
74 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
75 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
76 numbers are properly written.
77 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
78 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
79 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
80 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
82 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
83 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
84 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
85 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
86 messages are immediately displayed.
87 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
88 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
89 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
90 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
91 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
92 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
93 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
94 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
95 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
96 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
98 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
99 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
100 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
101 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
102 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
103 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
104 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
106 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
107 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
109 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
110 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
111 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
112 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
113 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
114 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
115 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
117 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
119 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
120 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
121 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
122 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
124 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
125 - Add mandrake to platforms
126 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
127 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
128 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
129 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
130 - Echo input read from a script in Console.

135 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
136 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
138 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
139 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
140 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
141 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
142 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
143 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
144 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
145 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
146 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.

148 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
149 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
150 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
151 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
152 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
153 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
154 must implement new streams in SD.
155 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
156 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
158 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
159 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
160 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
161 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
162 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
163 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
164 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
165 - Add platform files for BSDI.
166 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
167 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
168 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
169 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
170 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
171 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
172 - Begin adding Level = Base.
173 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.

180 - Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
181 - Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
182 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
183 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
184 - A number of minor code cleanups.
185 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.
186 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
187 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
188 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
190 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
191 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
192 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
193 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
194 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
195 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
197 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
198 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
199 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
200 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
201 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
202 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
203 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
205 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
206 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
207 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
208 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
209 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
210 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
211 any possible confusion.
212 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
213 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
214 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
215 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
216 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
217 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
218 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
219 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
220 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
221 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
222 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
224 - First cut label dialog.
225 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
226 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
227 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
228 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
229 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
230 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
231 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
232 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
233 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
234 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
235 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
236 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
237 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
238 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
239 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
240 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
241 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
242 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
243 implement individual Console authorization).
245 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
246 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
247 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
248 be immediately terminated in all cases.
249 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
250 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
251 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
252 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
253 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
254 - Implement When for "run" command.
255 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
257 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
258 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
259 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
260 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
261 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
262 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
263 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
264 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
265 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
266 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
267 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
269 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
270 in the console rather than in the Director.
271 input - read input from a file
272 output - write output to file
273 tee - tee output to file and terminal
274 time - print current time
275 version - print current version
278 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
279 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
280 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
281 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
283 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
284 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
285 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
287 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
288 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
289 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
290 - Lots of documentation of new features.
291 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
292 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
293 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
294 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
295 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
296 saving right away without a tape drive.
297 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
298 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
299 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
300 are implemented in the Director.
301 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
302 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
303 This includes files moved or copied.
304 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
305 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
306 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
307 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
308 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
309 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
310 - label barcodes now works.
311 - Implemented "update slots".
312 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
313 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
314 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
315 - More work on barcodes.
316 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
317 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
318 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
319 anything but return the list to the Director.
320 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
321 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
322 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
323 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
324 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
325 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
326 instead of horizontally.
327 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
328 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
329 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
330 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
331 - Lots of new documentation.
332 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
333 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
334 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
335 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
336 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
337 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
338 - Update client every time a job is run.
339 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
340 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
342 - Release new winbacula.
343 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
344 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
346 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
347 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
348 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
350 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
351 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
352 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
353 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
354 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
355 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
356 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
357 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
358 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
359 to be able to append.
360 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
361 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
362 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
363 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
364 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
365 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
366 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
367 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
368 certain autochangers.
369 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
370 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
371 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
372 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
373 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
374 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
376 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
378 - Final cygwin tweaks.
379 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
380 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
381 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
382 dealing with bad input.
383 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
384 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
385 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
386 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
387 of signal and counting the waiters.
388 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
389 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
390 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
391 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
392 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
393 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
394 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
395 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
396 variables during recycling.
397 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
398 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
399 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
400 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
401 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
402 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
404 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
405 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
406 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
407 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
408 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
409 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
410 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
411 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
412 callers want a new Volume name.
413 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
414 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
415 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
417 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
418 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
420 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
421 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
422 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
423 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
425 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
426 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
427 client not available.
428 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
429 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
431 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
432 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
433 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
434 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
435 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
436 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
437 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
439 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
440 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
441 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
442 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
443 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
444 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
445 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
446 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
448 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
449 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
451 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
452 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
453 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
454 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
455 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
456 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
457 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
458 - Second cut of FileOptions.
459 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
460 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
461 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
462 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
463 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
464 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
465 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
466 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
467 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
468 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
469 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
470 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
471 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
472 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
473 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
474 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
475 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
476 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
477 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
478 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
479 - All changing Pool in console run command.
480 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
481 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
482 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
483 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
484 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
485 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
486 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
487 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
488 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
489 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
490 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
491 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
492 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
493 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
494 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
495 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
496 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
497 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
498 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
500 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
501 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
502 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
503 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
504 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
506 =============================================================================
507 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
509 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
512 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
513 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
514 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
515 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
516 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
517 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
518 but at least dumps will work).
520 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
521 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
522 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
523 - Added pthread btimer routines.
524 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
525 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
526 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
527 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
529 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
530 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
532 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
533 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
534 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
535 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
536 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
537 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
538 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
540 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
541 add empty buffer flag).
543 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
544 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
545 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
548 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
549 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
550 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
551 exactly the same structure.
552 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
553 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
554 of cleanup in message.c
555 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
556 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
557 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
558 order will be correct.
559 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
560 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
561 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
562 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
563 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
564 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
565 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
566 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
567 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
568 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
569 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
570 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
571 after the current time -- slow process ...
573 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
574 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
575 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
577 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
578 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
579 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
580 debugger always works -- we will see.
581 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
583 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
585 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
586 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
587 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
588 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
589 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
590 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
591 jobs finished correctly.
592 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
593 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
594 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
595 print the full path name.
596 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
597 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
598 duplicate filenames or paths.
600 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
601 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
602 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
604 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
605 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
606 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
607 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
608 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
609 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
611 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
612 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
613 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
614 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
615 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
616 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
617 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
620 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
621 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
623 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
624 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
627 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
628 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
630 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
631 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
634 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
635 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
637 =============================================================================
638 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
639 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
640 reported by James MacLean.
641 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
642 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
643 James MacLean for reporting this.
645 =============================================================================
646 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
647 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
649 =============================================================================
650 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
652 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
653 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
654 it as the development goes on.
655 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
656 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
657 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
658 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
659 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
660 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
663 Changes submitted this submission:
665 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
667 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
668 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
669 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
670 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
672 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
673 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
674 splitting path from file).
676 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
677 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
678 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
680 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
681 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
682 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
684 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
685 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
686 handle shorts and long longs.
688 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
689 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
690 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
691 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
692 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
695 - Added more rescue documentation.
696 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
697 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
698 configuration file as the default.
700 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
701 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
704 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
705 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
706 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
707 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
709 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
710 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
711 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
712 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
713 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
715 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
716 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
717 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
718 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
719 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
721 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
722 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
723 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
724 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
726 - Started adding FileOptions ...
727 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
728 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
729 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
730 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
731 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
732 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
733 block before writing and upon read back.
734 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
735 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
736 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
737 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
738 static versions of the daemons.
740 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
741 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
742 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
743 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
744 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
745 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
746 to help guide the user.
747 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
749 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
750 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
751 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
752 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
754 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
755 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
756 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
758 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
759 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
760 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
761 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
762 in the restore Console command.
763 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
764 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
765 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
766 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
768 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
770 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
773 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
774 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
775 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
776 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
777 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
779 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
780 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
781 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
782 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
786 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
787 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
788 This code is untested.
789 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
790 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
791 as well as getting info from them.
792 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
794 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
795 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
796 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
798 - Improved error messages in smtp.
800 =============================================================================
801 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
802 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
803 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
805 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
806 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
807 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
809 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
810 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
812 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
813 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
815 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
817 General: from kes25Nov02
818 - Mostly Cygwin changes
820 Changes submitted this submission:
821 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
822 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
823 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
824 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
825 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
826 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
827 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
828 - Build testfind as default.
829 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
831 General: from kes21Nov02
832 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
833 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
834 the src/cats directory.
836 Changes submitted this submission:
837 - Additional documentation.
838 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
839 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
840 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
841 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
842 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
843 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
844 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
845 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
846 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
847 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
848 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
849 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
850 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
851 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
852 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
853 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
855 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
856 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
857 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
858 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
859 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
860 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
862 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
864 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
865 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
866 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
867 - Add Pool attribute query
868 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
869 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
871 General: from kes18Nov02
872 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
873 and prevent buffer overflows.
875 Changes submitted this submission:
876 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
877 jobs get the correct address.
878 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
879 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
880 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
881 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
882 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
884 General: from kes13Nov02
885 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
888 ./alter_sqlite_tables
889 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
890 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
892 Changes submitted this submission:
893 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
894 when a tape can be marked Used.
895 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
896 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
897 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
898 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
899 database. Incremented db version.
900 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
901 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
902 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
903 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
904 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
905 it for MySQL. What a pain!
906 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
907 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
909 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
910 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
912 General: from kes09Nov02
913 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
914 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
915 as well as a standard page size.
916 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
917 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
918 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
919 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
921 Changes submitted this submission:
922 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
923 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
925 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
926 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
928 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
929 -i option. I have not tested it.
931 General: from kes30Oct02
932 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
933 - bacula stript fixes.
934 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
935 - Added openbsd to platforms
937 Changes submitted this submission:
938 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
939 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
940 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
941 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
943 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
944 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
945 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
946 confusing for the user, but ...
947 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
948 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
950 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
951 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
952 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
953 where the Director seg faulted.
955 General: from kes29Oct02
956 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
958 Changes submitted this submission:
959 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
960 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
961 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
962 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
964 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
965 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
966 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
967 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
968 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
969 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
970 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
971 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
972 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
974 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
976 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
977 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
978 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
979 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
980 it was a network error.
981 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
982 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
983 console.exe to the release.
984 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
985 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
986 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
988 General: from kes23Oct02
989 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
990 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
992 - Trademarked name Bacula.
993 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
994 will be maintained forever.
995 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
998 Changes submitted this submission:
999 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
1000 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
1001 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
1003 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
1004 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
1005 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
1006 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
1008 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
1009 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
1010 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
1011 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
1012 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
1013 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
1014 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
1015 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
1016 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
1017 This replaces previous floating point times.
1018 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
1019 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
1020 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
1021 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
1022 in the pool to be mounted.
1023 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
1024 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
1025 for it to be enabled.
1026 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
1028 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
1029 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
1030 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
1031 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
1032 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
1033 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
1034 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
1036 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
1037 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.

1041 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
1042 General: from kes10Oct02
1043 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
1044 character on Windows.
1046 Changes submitted this submission:
1047 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
1048 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
1049 - Documentation on GZIP.
1050 - Another restore doc example.
1051 - Documented btape fill command.
1052 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
1053 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
1054 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
1055 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
1056 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
1057 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
1058 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
1059 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
1060 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
1061 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
1062 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
1063 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
1064 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
1065 routines that create files do not print error messages.
1066 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
1067 Currently the following bits are not handled:
1071 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
1073 General: from kes09Oct02
1074 - More documentation.
1075 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1076 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1079 Changes submitted this submission:
1080 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
1081 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
1082 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
1083 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
1084 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
1085 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
1086 This will always be zero if no software compression was
1087 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
1088 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
1089 the termination status represents the state of all three
1091 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1092 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1095 General: From kes06Oct02
1096 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
1097 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
1098 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
1099 jobs to a File volume.
1100 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
1102 Changes submitted this submission:
1104 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
1105 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
1106 is currently turned off.
1107 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
1109 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
1110 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
1111 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
1112 ./drop_bacula_tables.
1113 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
1114 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
1115 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
1116 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
1117 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
1118 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
1119 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
1120 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
1121 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
1122 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
1124 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
1125 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
1126 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
1127 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
1129 General: From kes25Sep02
1130 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
1133 Changes submitted this submission:
1134 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
1135 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
1136 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
1137 a user -- thank you.
1138 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
1139 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
1140 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
1141 from which you can do a restore.
1142 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
1143 by an explicit ranlib call.
1144 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
1145 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
1146 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
1147 be listed as "Unknown type".
1148 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
1150 General: From kes14Sep02
1151 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
1152 - 64 bit file address support if available.
1153 - Implement autochanger for reading
1154 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
1155 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
1157 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
1158 - Begin implementation of a regression script
1159 - Write bootstrap after ever job
1161 Changes submitted this submission:
1162 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
1163 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
1164 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
1166 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
1167 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
1168 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
1169 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
1170 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
1172 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
1173 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
1174 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
1176 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
1177 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
1178 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
1179 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
1180 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
1182 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
1183 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
1184 acquire_device_for_read()
1185 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
1189 - Fix Volume in bsr.
1190 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
1192 =============================================================================
1193 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
1194 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
1195 will always read the currently mounted tape.
1197 =============================================================================
1198 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
1200 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
1201 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
1202 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
1204 Changes submitted this submission:
1205 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
1207 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
1208 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
1209 for Verify but not really errors.
1212 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
1214 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
1215 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
1216 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
1217 were not properly restored.
1221 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
1222 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
1223 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
1224 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
1225 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
1226 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
1227 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
1228 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
1229 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
1230 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
1231 any restore Job. Arrggg!
1232 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
1233 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
1234 FD not required, but recommended.
1236 Changes submitted this submission:
1237 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
1238 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
1239 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
1240 feedback from users. Thanks.
1241 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
1243 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
1244 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
1245 messages from within the Database subroutines.
1246 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
1247 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
1248 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
1249 of network errors from within the network code.
1250 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
1251 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
1252 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
1253 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
1254 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
1255 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
1256 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
1257 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
1258 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
1259 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
1260 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
1261 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
1262 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
1263 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
1265 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
1266 the restore command.
1267 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
1268 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
1269 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
1270 been done -- thanks Chuck.
1271 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
1272 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
1273 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
1274 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
1275 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
1276 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
1277 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
1278 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
1279 reading them back much easier.
1280 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
1282 =============================================================================
1283 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
1285 - Made a new tools directory.
1286 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
1287 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
1288 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
1289 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
1290 on binaries that actually need it.
1291 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
1292 - Move testfind to tools directory.
1293 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
1294 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
1295 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
1296 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
1297 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
1299 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
1300 listing of the file/directory name.
1301 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
1302 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
1303 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
1304 FileSets, ask user to select one.
1305 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
1306 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
1309 - Made restore actually work.
1310 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
1312 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
1313 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
1314 line arguments. Fixed!
1315 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
1316 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
1317 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
1318 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
1319 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
1320 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
1322 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
1323 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
1324 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
1325 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
1326 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
1327 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
1330 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
1331 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
1332 new read-write lock code.
1333 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
1334 using the rwl_xxx routines.
1335 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
1336 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
1337 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
1338 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
1339 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
1340 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
1341 to the default definition of char.
1342 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
1344 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
1345 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
1346 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
1347 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
1348 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
1349 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
1350 arguments for created run command in restore.
1351 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
1352 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
1353 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
1355 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
1356 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
1357 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
1360 - Did a good amount of documentation.
1361 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
1362 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
1363 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
1364 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
1365 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
1366 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
1367 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
1368 - Increase the sleep time.
1369 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
1370 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
1372 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
1373 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
1374 two or more volumes.
1377 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
1378 - Lots of work on the restore command.
1379 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
1380 when the console program prematurely terminates.
1381 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
1382 them all in the same thread.
1383 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
1384 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
1385 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
1386 on interdaemon communications.
1387 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
1388 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
1389 properly terminated.
1390 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
1394 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
1395 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
1396 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
1397 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
1398 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
1399 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
1400 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
1401 This will permit splitting depkgs.
1402 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
1403 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
1404 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
1405 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
1406 Is dequoting needed?
1407 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
1408 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
1409 but does not produce a dump.
1410 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
1411 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
1412 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
1413 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
1415 ===========================================================================
1416 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
1417 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
1418 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
1420 ===========================================================================
1421 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
1423 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
1424 (still works with older MySQLs).
1425 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
1426 - Added kernstodo to CVS
1427 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
1428 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
1429 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
1430 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
1433 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
1436 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
1437 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
1438 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
1439 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
1440 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
1441 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
1442 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
1443 improve performance.
1444 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
1445 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
1446 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
1447 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
1448 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
1449 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
1450 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
1451 ensure that the door is unlocked.
1452 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
1453 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
1454 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
1455 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
1457 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
1458 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
1460 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
1461 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
1463 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
1464 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
1465 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
1468 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
1470 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
1471 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
1472 is finished with the Job.
1473 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
1474 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
1475 the tape prior to freeing it.
1476 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
1477 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
1478 This permits running an external program with the following editing
1482 %d = Director's name
1491 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
1492 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
1493 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
1495 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
1496 - Currently the changer commands used are:
1497 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
1498 load -- loads a specified slot
1499 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
1500 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
1501 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
1502 slots -- returns total number of slots
1503 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
1504 resource, permits editing of:
1506 %a = archive device name
1507 %c = changer device name
1514 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
1515 specified in the SD Device resource.
1518 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
1519 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
1520 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
1521 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
1522 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
1523 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
1524 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
1525 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
1526 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
1527 to a Console selection request.
1528 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
1529 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
1530 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
1531 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
1532 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
1533 box after history replacement.
1534 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
1535 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
1536 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
1537 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
1538 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
1539 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
1540 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
1541 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
1542 of terminating the Job.
1543 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
1545 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
1549 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
1550 - A fair amount of documentation.
1551 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
1552 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
1553 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
1554 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
1555 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
1556 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
1558 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
1559 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
1560 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
1561 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
1562 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
1563 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
1564 database that you are using.
1565 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
1566 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
1567 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
1568 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
1569 routines even with DEBUG off.
1570 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
1571 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
1572 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
1573 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
1574 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
1575 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
1576 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
1577 handling of errors with minimum code.
1578 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
1579 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
1580 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
1581 resource is part of the Pool resource.
1582 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
1583 yet create a DB record.
1584 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
1586 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
1587 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
1588 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
1590 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
1591 backup and verify volume.
1592 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
1593 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
1594 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
1595 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
1596 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
1597 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
1598 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
1599 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
1600 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
1601 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
1602 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
1603 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
1604 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
1605 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
1606 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
1607 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
1609 ===========================================================================
1610 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
1611 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
1612 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
1613 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
1614 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
1615 will go away in a future release.
1616 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
1617 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
1618 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
1621 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
1622 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
1623 order they appear in the config file.
1624 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
1625 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
1626 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
1627 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
1628 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
1629 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
1630 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
1631 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
1632 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
1633 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
1634 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
1635 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
1636 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
1637 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
1639 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
1640 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
1641 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
1642 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
1645 - Additional documentation.
1646 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
1647 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
1648 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
1649 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
1650 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
1651 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
1656 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
1657 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
1659 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
1660 segment fault on Solaris.
1661 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
1664 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
1665 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
1668 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
1669 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
1670 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
1672 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
1673 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
1674 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
1675 the caller to specify what he wants.
1676 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
1677 and name scanning to lex.
1678 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
1680 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
1681 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
1684 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
1685 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
1686 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
1687 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
1688 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
1689 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
1690 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
1691 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
1692 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
1693 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
1695 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
1696 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
1697 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
1698 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
1699 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
1700 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
1701 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
1703 ===========================================================================
1704 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
1705 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
1706 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
1707 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
1708 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
1709 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
1710 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
1711 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
1712 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
1713 recovery with no database.
1714 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
1715 in your config files.
1716 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
1720 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
1721 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
1722 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
1723 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
1724 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
1726 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
1727 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
1728 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
1729 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
1730 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
1732 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
1733 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
1734 statements per command.
1735 - Implemented three new "query" options:
1736 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
1737 List Volumes used by selected JobId
1738 List Volumes to Restore All Files
1739 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
1740 select the one you want.
1741 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
1742 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
1745 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
1746 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
1747 it with a pthreads mutex.
1748 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
1749 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
1750 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
1751 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
1752 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
1753 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
1760 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
1761 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
1762 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
1763 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
1764 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
1765 add data in the new format to old tapes.
1766 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
1767 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
1768 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
1769 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
1770 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
1771 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
1772 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
1774 ===========================================================================
1775 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
1776 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
1777 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
1778 - Fixed the query command bug.
1779 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
1780 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
1781 points to a working directory.
1782 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
1783 permits a core dump.
1784 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
1785 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
1786 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
1788 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
1789 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
1790 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
1791 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
1792 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
1793 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
1794 potential source of errors.
1795 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
1796 to the Schedule Run record.
1797 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
1798 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
1799 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
1800 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
1801 earlier code reorganization.
1802 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
1803 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
1804 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
1805 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
1806 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
1807 keep around legacy code.
1808 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
1809 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
1810 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
1811 by turning off autopruning.
1812 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
1813 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
1814 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
1815 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
1816 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
1817 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
1818 it forces the specified pruning.
1819 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
1821 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
1822 in place of P() and V().
1823 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
1825 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
1826 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
1827 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
1828 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
1829 calls the UA prune routines.
1830 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
1831 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
1832 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
1833 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
1834 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
1835 daemons if they listen on different ports.
1836 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
1837 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
1838 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
1839 it should be its own typedef.
1840 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
1841 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
1842 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
1843 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
1844 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
1845 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
1846 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
1847 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
1848 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
1849 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
1851 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
1852 the number of Files pruned in the message.
1853 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
1854 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
1855 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
1858 ===========================================================================
1859 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
1860 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
1861 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
1862 commands documented.
1863 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
1864 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
1865 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
1866 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
1867 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
1868 due to a bug in MySQL.
1869 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
1870 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
1871 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
1872 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
1873 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
1874 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
1875 Bug reported by Phil.
1876 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
1877 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
1878 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
1879 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
1880 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
1881 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
1882 older gcc compilers.
1883 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
1884 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
1885 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
1886 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
1887 in UserAgent server.
1888 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
1889 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
1890 - Delete unused code from backup.c
1891 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
1892 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
1893 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
1894 This dummy value should never be printed.
1895 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
1896 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
1897 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
1899 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
1900 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
1901 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
1903 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
1904 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
1905 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
1906 new btime_t definition.
1907 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
1908 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
1909 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
1910 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
1911 descriptive of what is done.
1912 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
1913 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
1914 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
1915 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
1916 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
1917 - Additional config options for Console.
1918 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
1919 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
1920 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
1921 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
1922 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
1923 to modify Media table.
1924 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
1925 message if the make ends in error.
1926 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
1927 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
1928 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
1929 all associated records in the database.
1930 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
1931 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
1932 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
1933 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
1934 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
1935 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
1936 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
1937 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
1938 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
1939 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
1941 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
1942 kept in ua and jcr structures).
1943 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
1944 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
1945 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
1946 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
1947 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
1948 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
1949 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
1950 - Make console accept redirected input.
1951 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
1952 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
1953 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
1954 - Use JobId_t in more places.
1955 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
1956 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
1957 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
1958 future changes in the database. This should prevent
1959 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
1960 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
1961 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
1962 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
1963 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
1964 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
1965 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
1966 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
1967 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
1968 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
1969 - Purge Volume now works.
1970 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
1971 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
1972 More work to be done to search for termcap.
1973 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
1974 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
1975 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
1976 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
1977 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
1978 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
1979 not have the ALTER SQL command.
1980 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
1981 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
1982 This value is used when doing pruning.
1983 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
1984 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
1985 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
1986 retention period changes.
1987 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
1988 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
1990 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
1991 message resources. Much more work to be done.
1992 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
1994 ===========================================================================
1995 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
1996 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
1997 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
1998 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
1999 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
2000 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
2001 due to a bug in MySQL.
2002 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
2003 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
2004 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
2005 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
2006 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
2007 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
2008 Bug reported by Phil.
2009 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
2010 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
2011 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
2012 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
2014 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
2015 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
2016 older gcc compilers.
2017 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
2020 ===========================================================================
2021 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
2022 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
2024 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
2025 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
2026 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
2027 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
2028 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
2029 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
2030 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
2031 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
2032 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
2033 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
2034 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
2035 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
2036 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
2037 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
2038 broke the restore code.
2039 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
2040 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
2041 variable block sizes.
2042 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
2043 (at least on DAT tapes).
2044 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
2045 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
2047 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
2049 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
2050 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
2051 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
2052 prototype problem for C++.

2068 - Released internally.
2070 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
2071 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
2072 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
2073 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
2074 remains a lot to do.
2075 - The file search code is now integrated into the
2076 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
2077 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
2078 all the database records are being created, though
2079 there still remains some work in getting all the
2080 details into the records (such as the Storage
2082 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
2083 - I've defined error message handling though no code
2085 - The following resources and records are implemented
2086 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
2089 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
2092 Password (not yet used)
2094 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
2098 Backup (only one permitted)
2101 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)

2105 Exclude (no options)
2110 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
2113 Address, Port, Password (not used)
2116 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
2118 - Added Storage configuration routines.
2120 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
2122 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
2125 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
2126 Archive Device (defines device name)
2129 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
2130 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
2131 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
2132 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
2133 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
2134 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
2135 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
2136 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
2138 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
2139 implement it in the daemons.
2140 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
2141 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
2142 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file

2149 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
2150 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
