  translation, bimagemgr manuals (same as the main manual), and
  the web site.

Release 1.38.10 (08Jun06) released 12JunO6
08Jun06
- Modify setting ACLs to suppress error message if the file is a
  symbolic link since the file linked to may not yet be created,
  and symbolic links really should not have attributes ...
06Jun06
- Complete implementation of acl.c error message during restore.
  During backups, errors getting acls are silently ignored, as was

- Prevent DVD code from rewriting label if the device cannot be
  opened read/write.
- Used __GNUC__ to detect GNU g++ as suggested by John Goerzen to
  fix Debian build bug.

  of incorrect MarkedId.
- Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace
  Director with File daemon).
21May06
- Move DIR "run" command to SD before starting the message thread
  as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from
  two threads using the bsock structure.

Release 1.38.9 (02May06)
02May06
- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during
  a restore.
- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file.
- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap 
  statistics.
26Apr06
- Implement an NT_() macro to indicate that text should NOT
  be translated.
- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
  they should not be (e.g. commands).
- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
  Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
  listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
  values.
- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
  and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
  machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
  there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
  FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be 
  restorable.

  files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
  bug #599.
- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
  the restore command when reading a file. This permits
  the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
  bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
  command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
  the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
  was suggested by the user.
18Apr06
- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
  portability.

  scratch volume in an Autochanger early in the 'recycling'
  algorithm.  
08Apr06
- Tweak license to include Microsoft restrictions.
- Move mysql.reconnect to after real_connect().  Thanks to
  Frank Sweetser for the patch.
- Disallow a backslash in a File = directive (Windows junk)

- Switch to using typeof() for list traversing to avoid
  as many FC5 g++ compiler warnings as possible.

- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
   bacula         -- starts and stops calling other scripts
   bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
   bacula-ctl-fd  -- starts/stops the File daemon
   bacula-ctl-sd  -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
24Mar06

  reservation lock and device mutex.
- Add Thorsten's VSS timeout code to 1.38 branch.
21Mar06

- Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading
  records to get to seek position.
- Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
- Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread

  SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
  mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor 
  use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
  lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.

- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
  correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.

  dvd, and fifo.
- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
  a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger  
  scripts.
- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
  up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from  
  the Scratch Pool.
- Implement additional command line options for update Volume.

Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
19Jan06
- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
18Jan06
- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
  so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
  for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.

Release 1.38.4 14Jan06 released 17 Jan 06:
16Jan06
- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
  list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
  lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
15Jan06
- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory 
  pool by releasing free buffers.
14Jan06
- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
12Jan06
- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
  number of items goes to zero.
- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
  so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
  waiting.
- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built         
  and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
  These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
  a drive' list during a 'status storage='.  Note, multiple
  messages will generally print for each JobId because they
  represent the different problems with either the same drive
  or different drives.  If this output proves too confusing
  of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
  or greater is enabled in the SD.
11Jan06
- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>.  This command prevents
  the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
  the job can be manually started from the console.
- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
  StorageId is zero (old Media records).


Beta release 1.38.4:
09Jan06
- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
  slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
  drive. Put close() just before each run_program().  Fixes
  Arno's changer bug.
07Jan06
- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
06Jan06
- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
  differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
  hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c 
  util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
  upgrades.
- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
  incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
  routines.  This should prevent a jcr from being freed
  from under the walk routines.

Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
04Jan06
- Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
  premature termination of the reservation if all drives
  are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
26Dec05
- Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.

Beta release 23Dec05:
22Dec05
- Add OPENSSL_INC to console dependencies, lib dependencies, and
  wx-console dependencies in Makefile.in
- Add OPENSSL INC/LIB to gnome2_console Makefile.in.
- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
  volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
  code.
- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
  it is not an autochanger.
- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
  This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
  rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
  file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
  if the device is open or not.  This should eliminate
  Arnos problem.
- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
  code. This should fix bug #500.
21Dec05
- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
  of the mode.                
- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of 
  You have messages. 
- Delete old bnet packet code.
- Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
  wx-console.
- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
  only .messages instead of messages.  Hopefully this fixes bug
  #514.
Beta release 20Dec05:
20Dec05
- Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
  reported by Wolfgang Denk
19Dec05
- Implement load balancing code.
- Pull a few files from 1.39 where we can maintain compatibility.

  for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
- Add quotes around table Version because of 
  error in MySQL 4.1.15 -- bug report submitted.
- Correct some minor problems with btape in the fill
  command.
- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.            
- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
  and always open nonblocking.
- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
  message.
- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
13Dec05
- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.  
- Make wait_for_device() always return after 120 seconds of wait.
12Dec05
- Use localhost if no network configured
11Dec05

- Remove debug print.
- Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
09Dec05
- Merge updates into 1.38 branch
- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
- Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
  and partial records in read_record().  This allows bscan
  to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
08Dec05
- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
  correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs. 
  Bug # 506.
- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) 
  to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
  IP. Fixes bug # 508.
07Dec05

  from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
06Dec05

  Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
  errors.  Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.

  This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
  channel and drive indicies do not correspond.
05Dec05
- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
  caused an error.
- Add back next_vol index code so that two drive autochangers can get
  a second tape.
- Change a bunch of debug levels to aid debugging autochangers.
- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
  at the same time.
04Dec05
- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at 
  If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
  'list nextvol days=xx'
  or
  'status dir days=xx'
  My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the 
  next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during 
  the weekend.

  redo what block.c has already done -- writing Vol info to
  DIR. This fixes a bug with bad numbers of files on a tape
  when it filled as reported by Peter.
- In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
  info if the the information was already written at the
  end of the tape.
28Mar05

  only a DCR as the argument.
- Rework the reserve_device_for_append() in stored to wait
  if the drive is not available.  Note! This is a short
  term solution.
25Mar05
- Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
- Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
  from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
- Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
  do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
- Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
  to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
  and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
- Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
  failed the job to use the new device wait code.
22Mar05
- Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
- Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.

- Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
- Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
- Fix a typo in an error message.
17Mar05

- Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
  passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
  Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
  the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
  This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
  card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
- The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.

Changes to 1.37.6:
11Mar05
- Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.

  using .tex in place of .wml.
08Mar05
- Copy latest config.sub and config.guess from autoconf.
- Try new way of identifying drives with:
   'resource-name' (physical-name)
  More work need to a complete conversion.
07Mar05
- Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has   
  the number of drives.
- Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
  back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
  Device status changes.
- Copy the change name and changer command into the device
  record if none is specified.
- Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
  and AutoChanger resource.
- Force all the Media Type records of all devices in an Autochanger
  to be the same.
06Mar05
- Add new 'run' command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
  cloning a job as many times as you want.
- Pass PoolId to SD on Query request. It is now used in the
  Find_media catalog request.
- Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
  and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.
- This DIR is nolonger compatible with previous SDs.
- Add since and cloned keywords to the Console run command
  to support cloning.
- Implemented store_alist_str() to allow multiple string items
  to be specified in a .conf file.

  pruning.
- Add more database fields and fix the update scripts to
  include the new items.
- Pass actual level to FD so that ClientRun editing can reflect
  correct level -- ditto for job status. This makes the DIR
  incompatible with older clients!

  the code logic becomes clearer. This is in preparation for
  actually using the new Device resources.
- Fix some lower case problems in sql_cmds.c reported by
  Debian.

  which enforces console ACLs in the status command for Jobs.
15Feb05
- Fix Media LabelDate and FirstWritten to be correctly set.
- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
- Fix tape 'truncation'/'number of files' after restore bug.
10Feb05
- Ensure that correct error messages are returned when
  reading an ANSI label.
09Feb05
- Modified ANSI label code to preserve any ANSI label 
  already found by skipping over it rather than rewriting
  it.
- Split the ANSI label code into ansi_label.c
- Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
- Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
  in a bug report. 
- Added some new dev methods. Most notably was
  set_eof(), which handles setting all the dev variables
  when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
  in the code.
07Feb05
- Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the 
  tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the
  user has the option of restoring everything.
- More progress in implementing 64 bit DB Ids.
- Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
- Implement update scripts for all database types.
- First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not
  recurse).

- Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
  If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
  label type.
- Added Check Labels = yes|no to Device resource in SD. If this
  is set, Bacula will check for ANSI labels and accept them,      
  otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
  is first mounted.
02Feb05
- Second cut ANSI labels.
01Feb05
- Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.
- Some doc updates.
- Display more informative message when a device was not
  found or could not be opened.
- Add the sqlite3 database scripts. 
- Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
  a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
  to be documented).
- Some minor doc updates.
- Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
29Jan05 -- after vacation
- Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
  of SQLite2).  Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
  to get SQLite3.
- Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
- Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
  boot correctly.
- Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
  This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
  Note, more work needed to modify 'update' command to handle
  changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
  to 6 characters.
- Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
  upgrade script yet.
- Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
- Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in 
  Dir conf file.
- Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
  info from SD on startup. 
- Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
- Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource.  One can
  still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
  a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon 
  simultaneously.
- Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
- Allow DIR to 'reserve' a Device. It will then be acquired
  when the FD connects to the SD.
- Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
  methods -- more to come.
- Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
  class methods -- more to come.
- I had serious problems with ACL errors on my Laptop, and so had
  to add the following patch:
  @@ -181,7 +181,7 @@
      }
      /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
        and acl_to_text?  *****/
  -   return -1;
  +   return 0;
   }
- Added edit_int64()
- Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
- Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
  lots of testing!!!!
- Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
  of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
- Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.

Changes to 1.37.2:
12Jan05
- Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s
  acl patch. Fix case where configured but no ACL exists.

  more typically in Bacula usage.
11Jan05
- Fix scripts/bacula.in to have awk on an environment variable
  and add comments for Solaris users.

  cleanup code in src/filed/restore.c
06Jan05
- Apply all of Preben's patches, but revert to old backup.c
  and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
  acl.c because of errors.  The new code, when fully implemented
  moves platform specific code into acl.c.
  One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
01Jan05

- Fix some typos in the previous commit.
30Dec04
- Enhance CDROM boot to include some documentation at boot time.
- NOTE!!!!! The CDROM will not boot 2.6 kernels because the
    boot sequence has changed significantly. Updates to come
    later.
- Add memtest option to CDROM boot.
- Include Nicolas' changes to fix llist JobMedia records.

  in its conf file during a reload command. Bug 182.
- Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
  Fixes bug 190.
- Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
  three patches that clean up white space:
  ws.patch.02.strings:
    Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
    if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
  ws.patch.03.trailing:
    This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
    my setup.
  ws.patch.04.leading:
    This replaces space runs at the start of line with tabs. No changes
    again.
- Fix overriding storage specification to be done
  through a subroutine.
- Fix autoconf so it runs with FC3. 
- Add Python4.3 to configure search paths.
- Always copy and delete storage definitions into jcr.
- Check that VolumeName supplied by Python is valid. 
  Return 0 if not.
19Dec04
- Fix undefined in non-Python build.
- Update rescue disk to include mkinitrd
- Fix umount_drives in rescue disk (only one arg to umount)
- Ensure that if SD is manually set in Console, it is used.
- Put generate_event on pointer and plug it in init. This

  than for the whole drive.
18Dec04
- Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
  scheduling jobs.
- Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
  the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
  extensions on all platforms.
- While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
  boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
  a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
  updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
- Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
  to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
- Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
  option (no write) to work.
- Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
  problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.
  Cleaned up a lot of #ifdefing problems by using routines
  in address_conf.c

  changes or no recursion), and to add a slash to the end
  of the directory name during the match process.
- Implement Jamie ffolliott <jamieff@inline.net>
