2 2003-07-xx Version 1.31 Beta xxJul03
3 - Lock database while recycling.
4 - Fix a bug in editing since where I forgot to update to the new size.
5 - Implement all the command line update arguments.
6 - Modify label to use volume=xxx for the new volume and oldvolume=yyy
8 - Added yes to run command line arguments.
9 - Clear errno in editing a string to utime.
10 - In restore print only volumes that will actually be used.
11 - Fix bextract -- add appropriate breaks in new case code.
12 - Add a new test -- bsr-opt-test for testing bsr optimization. As usual,
13 it pointed out a bug where the directory tree handling code destroyed
15 - Many updates to the manual.
16 - Pass prefix links flag to FD.
17 - Sort list of commands for Console
18 - Set default FD and SD concurrent jobs to 10.
19 - Rework the find next volume code in catreq.c to correct some minor
20 but subtle logic errors and to eliminate a goto.
21 - Did spell check on manual.
22 - Removed bindtextdomain() as it conflicted with RH8.0 headers
23 - Fixed parse_args to pass address of POOLMEM struct.
24 - Constrain FileIndexes written to BSR to be within range of Volume.
25 - Suppress writing volumes to BSR if they are not actually referenced.
26 - Make FOPTS use alist for match and base entries.
27 - Pass prefix_links to SD.
28 - Add command line interface to most items in "update volume=xxx"
29 - Add command line interface to restore "jobid", "current", "before", "all".
30 - Add command line "yes" to run command to supress prompt.
31 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
32 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
33 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
34 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
36 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
38 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
39 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
40 for bscan to work correctly.
41 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
43 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
44 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
45 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
46 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
47 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
48 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
50 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
51 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
52 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.
53 - Make file_index int32_t everywhere.
54 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
55 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
56 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
57 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
58 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
59 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
60 dependencies of sscanf().
61 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
62 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
63 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
64 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
65 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
66 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
68 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
69 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
70 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
71 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
72 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
73 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
74 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
76 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
77 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
78 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
79 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
80 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
81 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
82 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
83 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
84 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
85 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
86 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
87 there is no working pthread_kill().
88 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
89 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
90 volumes. Now fixed and working!
91 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
92 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
93 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
94 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
95 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
96 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
97 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
98 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
99 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
100 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
101 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
103 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
104 - Complete Counter resource.
105 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
107 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
108 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
109 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
110 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).
111 - Implement Counter resource.
112 - Cleanup examples/kernsconfig
113 - Implement restore to a specific date.
114 - Fixed a but in automatic labeling (and use durations expiring) analysed
115 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
116 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
117 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
118 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
119 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
120 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
121 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
122 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
125 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
126 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
127 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
128 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
130 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
131 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
132 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
133 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
134 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
135 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
136 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
137 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
139 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
140 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
141 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
142 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
143 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
144 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
145 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
146 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
147 - implemented is_stream_supported().
148 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
149 - add mtime_only code.
150 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
151 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
152 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
153 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
154 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
155 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
156 and it is now common for all readers.
157 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
158 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
159 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
161 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
162 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
163 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
164 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
165 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
166 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
167 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
168 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
170 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
171 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
172 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
173 into Pool record on create/updated.
174 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
175 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
176 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
177 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
178 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
179 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
180 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
181 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
182 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
183 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
184 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
185 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
186 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
187 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
188 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
189 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
191 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
192 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
193 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
194 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
195 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
197 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
198 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
199 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
201 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
202 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
203 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
204 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
205 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
206 by overloading the global operators.
207 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
208 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
210 - Started using "bool" where possible.
211 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
212 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
213 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
215 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
216 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
217 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
218 - Incremented the database version.
219 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
221 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
222 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
223 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
224 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
225 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
226 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
227 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
228 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
229 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
230 - Clean up a few error messages.
231 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
232 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
233 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
234 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
235 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
236 numbers are properly written.
237 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
238 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
239 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
240 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
242 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
243 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
244 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
245 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
246 messages are immediately displayed.
247 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
248 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
249 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
250 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
251 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
252 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
253 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
254 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
255 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
256 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
258 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
259 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
260 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
261 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
262 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
263 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
264 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
266 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
267 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
269 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
270 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
271 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
272 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
273 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
274 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
275 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
277 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
279 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
280 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
281 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
282 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
284 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
285 - Add mandrake to platforms
286 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
287 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
288 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
289 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
290 - Echo input read from a script in Console.
291 - Clarify error message for VerifyToCatalog
292 - Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
293 - Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
294 - Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
295 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
296 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
298 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
299 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
300 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
301 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
302 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
303 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
304 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
305 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
306 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
307 - Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
308 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
309 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
310 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
311 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
312 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
313 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
314 must implement new streams in SD.
315 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
316 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
318 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
319 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
320 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
321 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
322 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
323 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
324 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
325 - Add platform files for BSDI.
326 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
327 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
328 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
329 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
330 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
331 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
332 - Begin adding Level = Base.
333 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
334 - Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
335 - Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.

346 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
347 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
348 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
350 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
351 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
352 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
353 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
354 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
355 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
357 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
358 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
359 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
360 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
361 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
362 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
363 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
365 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
366 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
367 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
368 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
369 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
370 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
371 any possible confusion.
372 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
373 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
374 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
375 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
376 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
377 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
378 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
379 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
380 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
381 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
382 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
384 - First cut label dialog.
385 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
386 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
387 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
388 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
389 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
390 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
391 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
392 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
393 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
394 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
395 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
396 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
397 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
398 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
399 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
400 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
401 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
402 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
403 implement individual Console authorization).
405 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
406 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
407 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
408 be immediately terminated in all cases.
409 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
410 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
411 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
412 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
413 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
414 - Implement When for "run" command.
415 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
417 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
418 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
419 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
420 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
421 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
422 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
423 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
424 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
425 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
426 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
427 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
429 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
430 in the console rather than in the Director.
431 input - read input from a file
432 output - write output to file
433 tee - tee output to file and terminal
434 time - print current time
435 version - print current version
438 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
439 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
440 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
441 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
443 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
444 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
445 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
447 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
448 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
449 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
450 - Lots of documentation of new features.
451 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
452 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
453 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
454 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
455 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
456 saving right away without a tape drive.
457 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
458 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
459 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
460 are implemented in the Director.
461 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
462 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
463 This includes files moved or copied.
464 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
465 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
466 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
467 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
468 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
469 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
470 - label barcodes now works.
471 - Implemented "update slots".
472 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
473 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
474 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
475 - More work on barcodes.
476 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
477 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
478 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
479 anything but return the list to the Director.
480 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
481 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
482 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
483 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
484 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
485 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
486 instead of horizontally.
487 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
488 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
489 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
490 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
491 - Lots of new documentation.
492 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
493 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
494 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
495 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
496 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
497 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
498 - Update client every time a job is run.
499 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
500 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
502 - Release new winbacula.
503 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
504 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
506 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
507 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
508 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
510 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
511 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
512 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
513 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
514 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
515 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
516 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
517 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
518 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
519 to be able to append.
520 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
521 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
522 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
523 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
524 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
525 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
526 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
527 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
528 certain autochangers.
529 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
530 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
531 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
532 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
533 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
534 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
536 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
538 - Final cygwin tweaks.
539 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
540 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
541 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
542 dealing with bad input.
543 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
544 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
545 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
546 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
547 of signal and counting the waiters.
548 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
549 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
550 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
551 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
552 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
553 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
554 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
555 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
556 variables during recycling.
557 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
558 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
559 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
560 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
561 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
562 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
564 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
565 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
566 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
567 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
568 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
569 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
570 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
571 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
572 callers want a new Volume name.
573 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
574 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
575 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
577 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
578 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
580 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
581 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
582 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
583 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
585 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
586 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
587 client not available.
588 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
589 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
591 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
592 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
593 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
594 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
595 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
596 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
597 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
599 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
600 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
601 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
602 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
603 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
604 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
605 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
606 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
608 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
609 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
611 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
612 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
613 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
614 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
615 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
616 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
617 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
618 - Second cut of FileOptions.
619 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
620 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
621 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
622 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
623 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
624 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
625 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
626 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
627 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
628 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
629 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
630 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
631 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
632 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
633 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
634 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
635 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
636 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
637 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
638 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
639 - All changing Pool in console run command.
640 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
641 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
642 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
643 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
644 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
645 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
646 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
647 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
648 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
649 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
650 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
651 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
652 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
653 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
654 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
655 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
656 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
657 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
658 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
660 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
661 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
662 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
663 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
664 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
666 =============================================================================
667 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
669 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
672 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
673 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
674 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
675 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
676 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
677 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
678 but at least dumps will work).
680 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
681 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
682 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
683 - Added pthread btimer routines.
684 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
685 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
686 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
687 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
689 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
690 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
692 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
693 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
694 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
695 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
696 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
697 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
698 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
700 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
701 add empty buffer flag).
703 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
704 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
705 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
708 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
709 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
710 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
711 exactly the same structure.
712 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
713 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
714 of cleanup in message.c
715 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
716 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
717 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
718 order will be correct.
719 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
720 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
721 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
722 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
723 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
724 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
725 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
726 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
727 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
728 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
729 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
730 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
731 after the current time -- slow process ...
733 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
734 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
735 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
737 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
738 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
739 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
740 debugger always works -- we will see.
741 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
743 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
745 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
746 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
747 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
748 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
749 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
750 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
751 jobs finished correctly.
752 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
753 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
754 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
755 print the full path name.
756 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
757 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
758 duplicate filenames or paths.
760 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
761 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
762 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
764 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
765 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
766 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
767 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
768 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
769 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
771 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
772 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
773 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
774 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
775 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
776 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
777 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
780 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
781 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
783 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
784 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
787 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
788 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
790 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
791 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
794 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
795 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
797 =============================================================================
798 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
799 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
800 reported by James MacLean.
801 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
802 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
803 James MacLean for reporting this.
805 =============================================================================
806 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
807 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
809 =============================================================================
810 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
812 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
813 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
814 it as the development goes on.
815 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
816 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
817 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
818 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
819 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
820 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
823 Changes submitted this submission:
825 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
827 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
828 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
829 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
830 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
832 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
833 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
834 splitting path from file).
836 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
837 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
838 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
840 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
841 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
842 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
844 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
845 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
846 handle shorts and long longs.
848 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
849 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
850 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
851 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
852 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
855 - Added more rescue documentation.
856 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
857 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
858 configuration file as the default.
860 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
861 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
864 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
865 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
866 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
867 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
869 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
870 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
871 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
872 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
873 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
875 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
876 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
877 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
878 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
879 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
881 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
882 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
883 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
884 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
886 - Started adding FileOptions ...
887 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
888 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
889 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
890 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
891 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
892 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
893 block before writing and upon read back.
894 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
895 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
896 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
897 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
898 static versions of the daemons.
900 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
901 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
902 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
903 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
904 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
905 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
906 to help guide the user.
907 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
909 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
910 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
911 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
912 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
914 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
915 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
916 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
918 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
919 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
920 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
921 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
922 in the restore Console command.
923 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
924 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
925 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
926 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
928 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
930 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
933 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
934 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
935 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
936 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
937 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
939 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
940 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
941 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
942 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
946 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
947 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
948 This code is untested.
949 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
950 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
951 as well as getting info from them.
952 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
954 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
955 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
956 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
958 - Improved error messages in smtp.
960 =============================================================================
961 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
962 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
963 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
965 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
966 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
967 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
969 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
970 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
972 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
973 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
975 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
977 General: from kes25Nov02
978 - Mostly Cygwin changes
980 Changes submitted this submission:
981 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
982 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
983 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
984 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
985 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
986 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
987 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
988 - Build testfind as default.
989 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
991 General: from kes21Nov02
992 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
993 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
994 the src/cats directory.
996 Changes submitted this submission:
997 - Additional documentation.
998 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
999 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
1000 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
1001 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
1002 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
1003 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
1004 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
1005 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
1006 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
1007 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
1008 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
1009 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
1010 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
1011 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
1012 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
1013 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
1014 the SQL noted above.
1015 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
1016 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
1017 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
1018 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
1019 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
1020 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
1022 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
1024 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
1025 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
1026 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
1027 - Add Pool attribute query
1028 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
1029 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
1031 General: from kes18Nov02
1032 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
1033 and prevent buffer overflows.
1035 Changes submitted this submission:
1036 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
1037 jobs get the correct address.
1038 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
1039 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
1040 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
1041 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
1042 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
1044 General: from kes13Nov02
1045 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
1046 ./alter_mysql_tables
1048 ./alter_sqlite_tables
1049 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
1050 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
1052 Changes submitted this submission:
1053 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
1054 when a tape can be marked Used.
1055 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
1056 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
1057 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
1058 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
1059 database. Incremented db version.
1060 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
1061 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
1062 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
1063 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
1064 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
1065 it for MySQL. What a pain!
1066 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
1067 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
1069 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
1070 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
1072 General: from kes09Nov02
1073 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
1074 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
1075 as well as a standard page size.
1076 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
1077 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
1078 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
1079 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
1081 Changes submitted this submission:
1082 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
1083 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
1085 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
1086 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
1088 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
1089 -i option. I have not tested it.
1091 General: from kes30Oct02
1092 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
1093 - bacula stript fixes.
1094 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
1095 - Added openbsd to platforms
1097 Changes submitted this submission:
1098 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
1099 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
1100 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
1101 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
1102 testing was missing.
1103 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
1104 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
1105 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
1106 confusing for the user, but ...
1107 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
1108 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
1110 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
1111 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
1112 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
1113 where the Director seg faulted.
1115 General: from kes29Oct02
1116 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
1118 Changes submitted this submission:
1119 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
1120 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
1121 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
1122 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
1124 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
1125 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
1126 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
1127 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
1128 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
1129 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
1130 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
1131 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
1132 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
1134 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
1136 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
1137 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
1138 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
1139 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
1140 it was a network error.
1141 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
1142 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
1143 console.exe to the release.
1144 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
1145 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
1146 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
1148 General: from kes23Oct02
1149 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
1150 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
1152 - Trademarked name Bacula.
1153 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
1154 will be maintained forever.
1155 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
1158 Changes submitted this submission:
1159 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
1160 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
1161 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
1163 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
1164 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
1165 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
1166 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
1168 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
1169 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
1170 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
1171 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
1172 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
1173 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
1174 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
1175 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
1176 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
1177 This replaces previous floating point times.
1178 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
1179 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
1180 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
1181 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
1182 in the pool to be mounted.
1183 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
1184 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
1185 for it to be enabled.
1186 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
1188 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
1189 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
1190 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
1191 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
1192 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
1193 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
1194 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
1196 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
1197 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
1200 =============================================================================
1201 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
1202 General: from kes10Oct02
1203 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
1204 character on Windows.
1206 Changes submitted this submission:
1207 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
1208 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
1209 - Documentation on GZIP.
1210 - Another restore doc example.
1211 - Documented btape fill command.
1212 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
1213 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
1214 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
1215 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
1216 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
1217 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
1218 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
1219 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
1220 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
1221 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
1222 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
1223 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
1224 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
1225 routines that create files do not print error messages.
1226 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
1227 Currently the following bits are not handled:
1231 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
1233 General: from kes09Oct02
1234 - More documentation.
1235 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1236 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1239 Changes submitted this submission:
1240 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
1241 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
1242 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
1243 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
1244 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
1245 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
1246 This will always be zero if no software compression was
1247 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
1248 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
1249 the termination status represents the state of all three
1251 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1252 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1255 General: From kes06Oct02
1256 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
1257 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
1258 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
1259 jobs to a File volume.
1260 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
1262 Changes submitted this submission:
1264 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
1265 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
1266 is currently turned off.
1267 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
1269 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
1270 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
1271 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
1272 ./drop_bacula_tables.
1273 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
1274 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
1275 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
1276 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
1277 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
1278 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
1279 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
1280 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
1281 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
1282 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
1284 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
1285 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
1286 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
1287 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
1289 General: From kes25Sep02
1290 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
1293 Changes submitted this submission:
1294 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
1295 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
1296 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
1297 a user -- thank you.
1298 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
1299 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
1300 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
1301 from which you can do a restore.
1302 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
1303 by an explicit ranlib call.
1304 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
1305 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
1306 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
1307 be listed as "Unknown type".
1308 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
1310 General: From kes14Sep02
1311 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
1312 - 64 bit file address support if available.
1313 - Implement autochanger for reading
1314 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
1315 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
1317 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
1318 - Begin implementation of a regression script
1319 - Write bootstrap after ever job
1321 Changes submitted this submission:
1322 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
1323 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
1324 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
1326 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
1327 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
1328 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
1329 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
1330 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
1332 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
1333 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
1334 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
1336 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
1337 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
1338 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
1339 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
1340 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
1342 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
1343 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
1344 acquire_device_for_read()
1345 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
1349 - Fix Volume in bsr.
1350 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
1352 =============================================================================
1353 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
1354 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
1355 will always read the currently mounted tape.
1357 =============================================================================
1358 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
1360 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
1361 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
1362 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
1364 Changes submitted this submission:
1365 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
1367 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
1368 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
1369 for Verify but not really errors.
1372 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
1374 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
1375 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
1376 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
1377 were not properly restored.
1381 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
1382 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
1383 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
1384 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
1385 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
1386 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
1387 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
1388 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
1389 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
1390 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
1391 any restore Job. Arrggg!
1392 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
1393 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
1394 FD not required, but recommended.
1396 Changes submitted this submission:
1397 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
1398 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
1399 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
1400 feedback from users. Thanks.
1401 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
1403 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
1404 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
1405 messages from within the Database subroutines.
1406 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
1407 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
1408 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
1409 of network errors from within the network code.
1410 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
1411 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
1412 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
1413 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
1414 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
1415 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
1416 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
1417 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
1418 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
1419 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
1420 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
1421 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
1422 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
1423 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
1425 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
1426 the restore command.
1427 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
1428 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
1429 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
1430 been done -- thanks Chuck.
1431 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
1432 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
1433 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
1434 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
1435 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
1436 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
1437 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
1438 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
1439 reading them back much easier.
1440 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
1442 =============================================================================
1443 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
1445 - Made a new tools directory.
1446 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
1447 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
1448 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
1449 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
1450 on binaries that actually need it.
1451 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
1452 - Move testfind to tools directory.
1453 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
1454 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
1455 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
1456 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
1457 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
1459 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
1460 listing of the file/directory name.
1461 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
1462 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
1463 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
1464 FileSets, ask user to select one.
1465 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
1466 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
1469 - Made restore actually work.
1470 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
1472 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
1473 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
1474 line arguments. Fixed!
1475 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
1476 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
1477 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
1478 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
1479 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
1480 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
1482 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
1483 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
1484 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
1485 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
1486 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
1487 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
1490 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
1491 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
1492 new read-write lock code.
1493 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
1494 using the rwl_xxx routines.
1495 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
1496 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
1497 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
1498 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
1499 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
1500 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
1501 to the default definition of char.
1502 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
1504 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
1505 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
1506 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
1507 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
1508 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
1509 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
1510 arguments for created run command in restore.
1511 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
1512 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
1513 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
1515 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
1516 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
1517 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
1520 - Did a good amount of documentation.
1521 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
1522 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
1523 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
1524 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
1525 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
1526 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
1527 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
1528 - Increase the sleep time.
1529 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
1530 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
1532 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
1533 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
1534 two or more volumes.
1537 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
1538 - Lots of work on the restore command.
1539 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
1540 when the console program prematurely terminates.
1541 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
1542 them all in the same thread.
1543 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
1544 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
1545 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
1546 on interdaemon communications.
1547 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
1548 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
1549 properly terminated.
1550 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
1554 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
1555 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
1556 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
1557 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
1558 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
1559 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
1560 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
1561 This will permit splitting depkgs.
1562 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
1563 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
1564 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
1565 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
1566 Is dequoting needed?
1567 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
1568 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
1569 but does not produce a dump.
1570 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
1571 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
1572 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
1573 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
1575 ===========================================================================
1576 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
1577 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
1578 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
1580 ===========================================================================
1581 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
1583 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
1584 (still works with older MySQLs).
1585 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
1586 - Added kernstodo to CVS
1587 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
1588 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
1589 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
1590 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
1593 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
1596 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
1597 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
1598 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
1599 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
1600 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
1601 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
1602 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
1603 improve performance.
1604 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
1605 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
1606 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
1607 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
1608 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
1609 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
1610 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
1611 ensure that the door is unlocked.
1612 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
1613 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
1614 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
1615 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
1617 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
1618 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
1620 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
1621 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
1623 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
1624 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
1625 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
1628 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
1630 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
1631 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
1632 is finished with the Job.
1633 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
1634 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
1635 the tape prior to freeing it.
1636 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
1637 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
1638 This permits running an external program with the following editing
1642 %d = Director's name
1651 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
1652 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
1653 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
1655 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
1656 - Currently the changer commands used are:
1657 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
1658 load -- loads a specified slot
1659 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
1660 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
1661 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
1662 slots -- returns total number of slots
1663 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
1664 resource, permits editing of:
1666 %a = archive device name
1667 %c = changer device name
1674 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
1675 specified in the SD Device resource.
1678 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
1679 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
1680 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
1681 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
1682 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
1683 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
1684 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
1685 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
1686 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
1687 to a Console selection request.
1688 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
1689 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
1690 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
1691 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
1692 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
1693 box after history replacement.
1694 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
1695 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
1696 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
1697 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
1698 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
1699 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
1700 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
1701 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
1702 of terminating the Job.
1703 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
1705 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
1709 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
1710 - A fair amount of documentation.
1711 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
1712 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
1713 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
1714 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
1715 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
1716 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
1718 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
1719 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
1720 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
1721 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
1722 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
1723 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
1724 database that you are using.
1725 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
1726 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
1727 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
1728 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
1729 routines even with DEBUG off.
1730 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
1731 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
1732 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
1733 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
1734 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
1735 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
1736 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
1737 handling of errors with minimum code.
1738 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
1739 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
1740 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
1741 resource is part of the Pool resource.
1742 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
1743 yet create a DB record.
1744 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
1746 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
1747 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
1748 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
1750 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
1751 backup and verify volume.
1752 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
1753 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
1754 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
1755 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
1756 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
1757 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
1758 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
1759 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
1760 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
1761 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
1762 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
1763 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
1764 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
1765 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
1766 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
1767 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
1769 ===========================================================================
1770 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
1771 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
1772 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
1773 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
1774 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
1775 will go away in a future release.
1776 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
1777 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
1778 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
1781 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
1782 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
1783 order they appear in the config file.
1784 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
1785 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
1786 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
1787 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
1788 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
1789 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
1790 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
1791 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
1792 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
1793 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
1794 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
1795 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
1796 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
1797 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
1799 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
1800 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
1801 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
1802 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
1805 - Additional documentation.
1806 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
1807 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
1808 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
1809 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
1810 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
1811 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
1816 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
1817 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
1819 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
1820 segment fault on Solaris.
1821 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
1824 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
1825 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
1828 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
1829 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
1830 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
1832 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
1833 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
1834 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
1835 the caller to specify what he wants.
1836 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
1837 and name scanning to lex.
1838 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
1840 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
1841 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
1844 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
1845 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
1846 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
1847 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
1848 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
1849 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
1850 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
1851 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
1852 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
1853 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
1855 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
1856 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
1857 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
1858 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
1859 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
1860 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
1861 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
1863 ===========================================================================
1864 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
1865 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
1866 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
1867 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
1868 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
1869 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
1870 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
1871 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
1872 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
1873 recovery with no database.
1874 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
1875 in your config files.
1876 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
1880 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
1881 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
1882 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
1883 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
1884 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
1886 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
1887 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
1888 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
1889 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
1890 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
1892 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
1893 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
1894 statements per command.
1895 - Implemented three new "query" options:
1896 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
1897 List Volumes used by selected JobId
1898 List Volumes to Restore All Files
1899 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
1900 select the one you want.
1901 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
1902 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
1905 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
1906 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
1907 it with a pthreads mutex.
1908 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
1909 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
1910 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
1911 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
1912 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
1913 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
1920 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
1921 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
1922 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
1923 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
1924 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
1925 add data in the new format to old tapes.
1926 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
1927 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
1928 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
1929 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
1930 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
1931 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
1932 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
1934 ===========================================================================
1935 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
1936 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
1937 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
1938 - Fixed the query command bug.
1939 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
1940 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
1941 points to a working directory.
1942 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
1943 permits a core dump.
1944 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
1945 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
1946 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
1948 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
1949 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
1950 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
1951 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
1952 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
1953 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
1954 potential source of errors.
1955 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
1956 to the Schedule Run record.
1957 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
1958 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
1959 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
1960 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
1961 earlier code reorganization.
1962 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
1963 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
1964 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
1965 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
1966 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
1967 keep around legacy code.
1968 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
1969 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
1970 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
1971 by turning off autopruning.
1972 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
1973 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
1974 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
1975 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
1976 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
1977 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
1978 it forces the specified pruning.
1979 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
1981 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
1982 in place of P() and V().
1983 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
1985 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
1986 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
1987 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
1988 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
1989 calls the UA prune routines.
1990 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
1991 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
1992 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
1993 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
1994 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
1995 daemons if they listen on different ports.
1996 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
1997 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
1998 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
1999 it should be its own typedef.
2000 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
2001 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
2002 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
2003 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
2004 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
2005 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
2006 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
2007 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
2008 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
2009 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
2011 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
2012 the number of Files pruned in the message.
2013 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
2014 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
2015 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
2018 ===========================================================================
2019 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
2020 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
2021 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
2022 commands documented.
2023 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
2024 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
2025 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
2026 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
2027 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
2028 due to a bug in MySQL.
2029 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
2030 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
2031 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
2032 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
2033 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
2034 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
2035 Bug reported by Phil.
2036 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
2037 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
2038 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
2039 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
2040 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
2041 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
2042 older gcc compilers.
2043 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
2044 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
2045 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
2046 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
2047 in UserAgent server.
2048 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
2049 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
2050 - Delete unused code from backup.c
2051 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
2052 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
2053 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
2054 This dummy value should never be printed.
2055 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
2056 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
2057 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
2059 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
2060 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
2061 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
2063 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
2064 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
2065 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
2066 new btime_t definition.
2067 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
2068 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
2069 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
2070 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
2071 descriptive of what is done.
2072 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
2073 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
2074 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
2075 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
2076 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
2077 - Additional config options for Console.
2078 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
2079 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
2080 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
2081 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
2082 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
2083 to modify Media table.
2084 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
2085 message if the make ends in error.
2086 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
2087 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
2088 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
2089 all associated records in the database.
2090 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
2091 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
2092 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
2093 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
2094 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
2095 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
2096 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
2097 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
2098 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
2099 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
2101 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
2102 kept in ua and jcr structures).
2103 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
2104 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
2105 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
2106 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
2107 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
2108 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
2109 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
2110 - Make console accept redirected input.
2111 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
2112 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
2113 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
2114 - Use JobId_t in more places.
2115 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
2116 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
2117 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
2118 future changes in the database. This should prevent
2119 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
2120 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
2121 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
2122 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
2123 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
2124 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
2125 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
2126 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
2127 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
2128 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
2129 - Purge Volume now works.
2130 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
2131 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
2132 More work to be done to search for termcap.
2133 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
2134 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
2135 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
2136 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
2137 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
2138 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
2139 not have the ALTER SQL command.
2140 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
2141 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
2142 This value is used when doing pruning.
2143 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
2144 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
2145 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
2146 retention period changes.
2147 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
2148 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
2150 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
2151 message resources. Much more work to be done.
2152 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
2154 ===========================================================================

2156 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
2157 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
2158 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
2159 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
2160 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
2161 due to a bug in MySQL.
2162 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
2163 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
2164 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
2165 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
2166 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
2167 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
2168 Bug reported by Phil.
2169 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
2170 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
2171 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
2172 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
2174 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
2175 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
2176 older gcc compilers.
2177 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
2180 ===========================================================================
2181 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
2182 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
2184 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
2185 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
2186 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
2187 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
2188 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
2189 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
2190 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
2191 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
2192 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
2193 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
2194 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
2195 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
2196 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
2197 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
2198 broke the restore code.
2199 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
2200 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
2201 variable block sizes.
2202 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
2203 (at least on DAT tapes).
2204 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
2205 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
2207 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
2209 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
2210 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
2211 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
2212 prototype problem for C++.
2214 ===========================================================================
2215 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
2216 - Many intervening changes/updates.

2219 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
2220 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
2222 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
2223 - Helped John install at his site.
2224 He is backing up one Linux machine and
2225 one Win2000 machine.
2227 2001-mm-dd Many releases
2228 - Released internally.
2230 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
2231 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
2232 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
2233 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
2234 remains a lot to do.
2235 - The file search code is now integrated into the
2236 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
2237 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
2238 all the database records are being created, though
2239 there still remains some work in getting all the
2240 details into the records (such as the Storage
2242 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
2243 - I've defined error message handling though no code
2245 - The following resources and records are implemented
2246 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
2249 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
2252 Password (not yet used)
2254 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
2258 Backup (only one permitted)
2261 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
2264 Include (options ignored)
2265 Exclude (no options)
2270 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
2273 Address, Port, Password (not used)
2276 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
2278 - Added Storage configuration routines.
2280 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
2282 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
2285 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
2286 Archive Device (defines device name)
2289 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
2290 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
2291 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
2292 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
2293 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
2294 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
2295 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
2296 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
2298 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
2299 implement it in the daemons.
2300 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
2301 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
2302 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
2305 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
2306 - Integrated John's fixes.
2307 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
2308 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
2309 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
2310 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
2312 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
2313 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
2314 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
2316 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
2317 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
