56 - Fix stored/dircmd.c not to quote Volume name on label query so that
57 "update slots scan" works right (the quotes confused it).
58 - Fix autochanger.c not to attempt to unload a slot if the prior loaded
61 - In testing for Mike Acar's problem. I *finally* found and nailed
62 the mount command that did not release a waiting job. The return
63 of a stolen lock forgot to broadcast.
64 - In examining Mike Acar's problems, it appears that the Bacula
65 block size is not always set to a multiple of 1024. I've modified
68 - Add Excludes to new FileSet handling.
69 - Fix bsmtp.c to correspond to RFC-2821 by removing extra spaces.

106 - Added nice graphics produced by Aristedes Maniatis giving an
107 overall view of Bacula.
108 - Changed textdomain to be "bacula" in all progs.
109 - Fixed a major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple
110 simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had
111 blocked another because of resource usage. This caused a deadlock
112 and CPU usage. Reported by Michel Meyers.
113 - Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings
114 if any warning messages were generated.
115 - Change output of restore report to indicate:
116 "Restore OK -- warning file count mismatch"
117 - Make backup report say "Backup OK with warnings" if either FD or SD

152 - Created a new depkgs-win32 that has the pthreads and zlib source
154 - Removed the JobDefs from the default Restore job as it has a
155 schedule. Thanks to Matt Howard for this.
158 2004-04-06 Version 1.34.0 06Apr04 Release
160 - Turn off SIGQUIT in console.
162 - A good number of document updates.
163 - Fixed the order which multiple files are accepted for
164 inclusion in the restore tree due to the fact that PostgreSQL
165 returns files in a different order from their insertion.
167 - Fix autochanger test in btape. It used old editing routines.
168 - Fix run_program to return 0 if program runs and no output.
169 - Add more debug to run_program.

175 - Eliminate True and False in favor of true and false.
176 - Put correct thread id in jcr once the correct thread is running.
177 - Zap head and tail pointers in dlist when everything is removed.
178 - Rework sm_dump() so that it won't overrun a buffer when editing
180 - Fix watchdog to properly remove entries while walking the
182 - Fix termination of last_jobs list by removing broken code.
184 - Update dbcheck to fix Paths without a trailing slash and Filenames
185 with a trailing slash.
187 - Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes
188 Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely
189 this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running
190 the daemon with this option in production.
191 - Tweaked the Makefile not to create the gnome directories except
192 when doing a gnome install.
194 - Implement Qmsg() queuing of messages to prevent recursion especially
195 for bnet.c where recursion is fatal.
196 - Add detection of ncurses if the termcap lib is not found.
197 - Tweak winabout -- start cleanup.
198 - Fix dlist again, when list is destroyed, be sure to null head and
201 - Make the default for restore to have nothing marked.
202 - The "all" keyword on the restore command marks everything by
204 - The "done" keyword on the restore command prevents user interaction
205 with the tree routines -- used mainly for scripting (regression ...).
206 - Correct a bug in the last_sibling code.
207 - Add alphabetic sorting of siblings so the "dir" and "ls" commands
208 during restore show files in alphabetic order.
210 - Based on Mike Acar's suggestions rework tree insert routines. Improve
211 performance by using a last_sibling link for inserts.
213 - Apply corrected SQL to sql_get.c supplied by Dan Langille.
214 - Implement "delete job jobid=xxx jobid=yyy ..."
215 - Implement "purge volume=xxx volume=yyy ..."
216 - Fix buffer overrun in query string substitution.
218 - Fix bad format %s instead of %d for editing new slot in update volume.
219 Reported by Vadim Zotov.
220 - Better error diagnostics in ./configure for detecting termcap library.
222 - Restore old sql.c split_path and file name since it seems to have
223 broken the Verify stuff.
225 - Hunt down missing free_locked_jcr() in SD that caused zombies.
226 - Modify status outputs to be more consistent for zombie checking.
227 - Add tests to regression script for zombie jobs.
228 - Set EIO in dev_errno for all error returns when bad data found. This
229 fixes ERR=Success messages.
230 - Make error messages all contain ERROR for easy regression testing.
231 - Add sanity check in DIR for VolFiles becoming smaller.
233 - Second cut GTK+ restore GUI. Ready for testing but much more to do.
234 - Phil reported an sql path length=0 message. This broke saves of
236 - Fixed seg fault in btape "test" due to missing allocation of dcr.
237 - Tweaked some btape messages.
238 - Sort Volume names in Job report according to the order they were
239 written -- user request.
241 - First cut GTK+ restore GUI.
242 - Applied bsmtp patch supplied by a user. Thanks.
243 - Made a new split_path_and_filename() subroutine -- in lib/scan.c
245 - Fix "typos" in RedHat install-autostart Makefile.in
247 - Added two tar files that Phil sent for adding slackware support.
248 Thanks Phil and Matt Howard.
249 - Fix relabel command -- || should have been &&.
250 - Correct once more the scheduling algorithm -- this time it should
253 - Implement simple spool statistics printed by "status sd".
254 - Cleanup/add spool error messages.
255 - On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly.
256 - Implement code to select a different Volume in the SD if the
257 current Volume is busy -- requested by Patrick Cole.
258 - Change postgreSQL make tables to use bigint instead of integer
259 for StartBlock and EndBlock because
260 there is no unsigned integer in postgreSQL and these fields use 32 bits.
261 - Implement multiple drive autochanger support -- prompted by email of
264 - Update version and date in Win32 build.
265 - Fix bug in run_conf with month range zapping wday and wom.
266 - Correct editing of port for PQsetdbLogin in postgresql.c as reported
267 by J. Conroy, and do a second try.
269 - Integrate Phil's Makefile patch.
270 - Add SpoolDirectory to SD Device resource.
271 - Add MaximumJobSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
272 - Add MaximumSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
273 - Implement the above.
274 - Make despooling lock the device so only it writes
275 to the device during despooling.
277 - Data spooling now passes the regression tests.
278 - Added "Files Expected" to the restore job report.
279 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Job resource
280 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Run overrides.
281 - Note, you must have a 1.33.4-09Mar05 SD or later with the Director since
282 the DIR->SD protocol has changed to support data spooling.
283 - Remove the confusing "Which DBMS do you want to use (please select only one):"
284 messages from ./configure.
285 - Fix broken Jmsg with missing argument in find_one.c
287 - Second cut data spooling code.
288 - Fix missing piece of yesterday's patch.
290 - Integrate patches supplied by Jason Conroy that fix Slot numbers
293 - This version contains a *major* addition to the SD structures.
294 Many variables have been moved out of the JCR into a new DCR
295 (Device Context Record). This required quite a few changes, and
296 introduced a bit of instability. In the end, after a few more
297 rounds of changes, the DCR will replace virtually all arguments
298 to the low level SD read/write routines. This change permits
299 (with a bit more code) the SD to write to multiple devices at
300 the same time for a single Job. It also facilitates adding the
302 - Added a patch that fixed the port specification for postgresql.
303 - Fixed findlib/find_one.c so that it will complain about backing
304 up a hard linked file twice, which makes a restore impossible.
305 - Tighten up permissions on pid file.
306 - Attempt to avoid warnings when casting 64 bit pointers to an
308 - Added skeleton code for data spooling.
309 - Make sure spooled attributes are discarded on error.
311 - Updated getdiskinfo in rescue/linux to handle the fact that the
312 sfdisk -s option now includes info on partitions. Also, before
313 creating the diskinfo files, clean out the old ones.
315 - Add debug and error output to jobq.c
316 - Fix some minor errors in debug output of scheduler.c
317 - Add "trace on/off" command and modify trace code in message.c
318 to work off trace flag rather than #defines.
320 - If console is found during install warn user (new name is bconsole).
321 - On install copy console.conf to bconsole.conf if it exists.
322 - Make RunAfterJob error non-fatal.
323 - Rework minor details in status output.
324 - Attempt to define all values for "consoles" in JCR to avoid
327 - Use net start bacula to start Bacula on WinXP/NT/2K
328 systems after installation.
329 - Change a few strcpy()s to bstrncpy()s in signal.
330 - Add "gui on/off" command to console to turn on gui mode,
331 which will adapt Bacula better to batch or gui programs.
332 Currently, it prevents commas from being inserted into
333 numbers in the list command.
334 - Tweak some of the Makefiles so that the install is done with
335 the right program (nothing really changed).
336 - Install logrotate in the "make autostart" of Bacula on RedHat.
337 - Implement SIGHUP while jobs are running. It *seems* to work but is
338 a bit fragile and still crashes if you push it. More work needed.
339 - Applied Phil's GNOME 1.4 patch. Very clean. Thanks Phil.
340 - Major updates to the native Win32 installer.
342 - Restructure free of conf resources to handle job_end_push()
343 and SIGHUP. Lots of changes little substance.
345 - Add mtimeonly=yes/no and keepatime=yes/no to Include list
347 - Allow no modifier in time and size specifications.
348 - Attempt to implement disk seeking. More work needed.
349 - Implement more in win32 installer and test it.
351 - Implement kb, mb, and gb modifiers for size, which mean
352 1,000 bytes, 1,000,000, ... bytes.
353 - Add Makefile to src/win32 to allow building the full
354 release -- it calls nmake where appropriate.
355 - Remove the rsi directory from win32 as suggested by Christopher
356 - Add Michel Meyers' nsi file to win32 and integrate it with
359 - Add the frigging _O_BINARY to the right variable. Win32 works!
360 - Add debug code to state file. There is a problem with Win32 read
361 returning one byte less than it should.
362 - Implement a number of new functions for alist so that it has
363 equivalent functionality to dlist. It will be used for
365 - More work on state file.
366 - Added a popup message box on Windows if Bacula Aborts.
367 - Attempt to shutdown the FD server, but doesn't work on Windows. This
368 would have given a cleaner shutdown, no problem.
371 - Attempt to fix state file on Win32 -- no luck.
372 - Add HPUX tweaks to configure.in
373 - Update quickstart and install.wml of doc.
374 - Eliminate extern int h_errno from bnet.c by including netdb.h
375 - Eliminate NumJobs from last_job structure so that FD and SD
376 correctly report what is in the state file.
378 - Implement daemon state file, and save/restore last_jobs list.
379 - Fix time routines in win32 compat.cpp
380 - Fix a bug of not checking the bpipe_open() status in do_shell_expansion().
382 - Add Volker's bacula script to the SuSE directory and convert it
384 - Make LockRes() and UnlockRes() use read/write locks and have
385 debug info to trace locking and unlocking.
386 - Begin work of implementing SIGHUP. It is now enabled for
387 the Director and works only if there are no jobs running,
388 in addition, if the new conf file is incorrect, it will
389 terminate Bacula. Much more work to be done. I've figured
390 out a scheme to implement it with running jobs without
391 adding individual semaphores or use counts.
392 - Sort "list jobs" by StartTime rather than JobId, which can
395 - Add a lot of "const" to char * arguments to keep the native
397 - Added first cut of message queuing to prevent recursion in
398 low level routines. This code is not yet working.
399 - Spent a *huge* amount of time looking at the tape driver
400 code in the wake of several reports of tape labels getting
401 trashed. The code looks fine.
402 - Created a tape with an error (by writing a block at the
403 beginning of a tape that had valid data), and found that
404 Under Linux there is no way to read past an I/O error.
405 I tried mt; I tried my own program (btape); and I tried
406 using scsitape, which talks directly to the scsi driver.
407 This is *VERY BAD* news.
408 - I spent an *enormous* amount of time enhancing the btape
409 test program as well as making the fill command work with
410 both one and two tapes and the autochanger if configured.
411 The multiple tape fill test is now quite comprehensive.
412 It checks the last block on the first tape, the first block
413 on the second tape, and the last block (11) on the second
415 - Teaked the tape driver for several functions to use the
416 OS driver's notion of mt_file if there is an error.
418 - Add DB update scripts retrieved by Scott to a new updatedb
419 directory at the top level.
420 - Add -p option to bcopy to allow ignoring errors on input.
421 - COALESCE(xx,0) does not work on PostgreSQL because the 0 is not a
422 correct time. Replaced by adding LastWritten IS NULL to the sort
423 line as was first suggested by JML.
425 - Use COALESCE(LastWritten, 0) in sql_find.c to get NULLs to sort last.
427 - Add write/read and positioning test to btape "test" program.
429 - Fix bad printf of InChanger flag reported by Pascal Pederiva.
430 - Fix bad indexing off stack in authenticate.c reported by
433 - Add \n to hosts.access reject message.
434 - Implement security message class and make hosts.access message use
437 - Fix check_memory bug in ua_query.c, which gives a bus error on Solaris.
438 This affected only the query command.
440 - Added backup to cdwriter script to examples provided by Johan Decock.
441 - Fixed a bug where ls really did lsmark (just invert command table
443 - Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name
444 by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under
445 it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller.
446 - Fix a deadlock situation in the new watchdog code where the
447 watchdog locks its semaphore, and attempts to lock the jcr_chain,
448 but another thread has locked the jcr_chain and wants to free a
449 watchdog, which tries to lock the watchdog semaphore -- deadlock!
450 Used read/write locks to solve the problem.
451 - Improved the error messages when I/O errors or buffer id errors
452 are detected, and prevent non-sense errors from being printed.
453 - Fix some incorrect messages in restore if no name is supplied
454 on the command line (e.g. pool= ).
455 - Add the third digit to the release version number.
457 - Add -l option to bls that causes it to ignore tape label errors.
459 - Correct problems with jobs scheduled at a later time by hand.
460 Missing unlock(), backward test on pthread_create status.
461 - Fix setip crash reported by Alan Brown.
462 - Create bacula.spec.in in SuSE directory from Scott.
463 - Fix missing unlock() in ua_status on access denial.
464 - Lots of little cleanups, improving jcr use_count debug printing.
465 - Add EMSG to mem_pool utilization statistics.
467 - New bacula.spec.in file from Scott
468 - Add Scott's spec file to the platforms/suse directory
469 - Modify configure.in to make platforms/suse/bacula.spec
470 - Do not allow a resource name to be specified twice.
472 2004-01-30 Version 1.33-30Jan04 Release
474 - Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without
475 opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive).
476 - Added Postgresql configure search libraries recommended by Alan Brown.
478 - Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the
479 arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly.
480 Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a
483 - I've noticed that the backups of Rufus, my development machine, can be
484 "stuck" for about 12 hours, then suddenly they run. In running the
485 debugger, I see that it was stuck on the select() statement waiting
486 for the Hello. Why this happens I am not sure. I re-organized the code
487 a bit because it didn't seem to be as robust as it could, but I cannot
489 - As a consequence of the above, I have implemented a new bsock timer that
490 can be started and stopped. This is based on Nic Bellamy's new watchdog
491 code. The timer is set with start_bsock_timer(bsock, timeout); If the
492 timeout expires, the bsock will be marked as timed_out and interrupted
493 with a pthread_kill() on the current thread.
494 - Added 5 minute bsock timers to all the opening Hello/authentication
495 exchanges between the various daemons.
497 - New spec file from Scott.
498 - New patch file from Scott for create_sqlite_database
499 - Fix crash in run command if invalid pool specified on the command line
500 and then the user cancels the Pool prompt.
501 - Separate Console and ConsoleFont resources in gnome2 conf files.
502 - Remove possibly bad ASSERTs from bnet.c
503 - Remove open() of device in dircmd.c, which fails on FreeBSD with
504 an autoloader -- thanks to Jesse Guardiani for this fix.
506 - Remove all "hostname -s" from configure except for RedHat. Use uname -n instead.
507 - Implement SetIP command.
508 - Implement Close On Poll in Device resource on SD.
509 - Implement Full, Inc, and Diff Pools.
510 - Implement Access control lists for Consoles.
512 - Define default working_dir as /var/bacula/working.
513 - Implement setip console command to set new IP address for a Client.
515 - Implement maximum network buffer size directives.
516 - Good first cut at access control lists for the console.
517 - Optimize restore to select only latest Differential backup after
518 the Full, and then all following Incremental backups. Previously
519 everything after Full was selected.
521 - Organize kernstodo a bit (more to be done).
522 - Add client IP address to BSOCK structure.
523 - Use bit fields where appropriate in BSOCK structure.
524 - Pass UAContext to ua authenticate in Director, and make it
525 set the appropriate console (or NULL for none).
526 - Tweak restore "run" argument handling and add "files" keyword.
527 - Add device name or Volume name to some SD messages.
529 - First cut multiple consoles.
532 - Add quit command to restore tree handler.
533 - Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and
534 in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link.
535 mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster.
536 - Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore.
537 - Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line
539 - Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of
541 - Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in
542 question and do not do a recursive descent.
543 - Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to
544 be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories
545 are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only
546 the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree.
547 - Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than
548 just taking the first one.
550 - Update copyright date on changed files.
551 - Make mark command in restore tree run *much* faster by accessing database only
552 if the file actually is hard linked -- determined at time tree it built by
553 keeping a has_link bit in the tree entry.
555 - Modify findlib/makepath.c to create all parent directories with full permissions.
556 This should solve the access problems on restoring files on Win32 systems.
557 - Modify restore to report **** Restore Error **** if any error are found.
558 I.e. a file could not be created.
559 - Change a few errors into warnings -- e.g. if permissions could not be set, but
560 the file is actually restored.
562 - Replace bsd_queue with dlist in lib/watchdog.c
563 - Add Date: header to bsmtp. Thanks to Meno Abels (abels) on SourceForge
565 - Remove ap==NULL check in src/lib/var.c as suggested by Christoph Barbian
566 because ap (va_list) is a struct on the Alpha, so the code does not
569 - Implement first cut of polling for a Volume. New Device directive
570 "Volume Poll Interval = xxx" where xxx is a time specification
571 (e.g. 5min). Default is off.
572 - Call pthread_cancel on SD msgchan only if the threadid is non-zero.
574 - Change RH autostart scripts to start in Dan's order.
576 2004-01-06 Version 1.33-06Jan04 Release
578 - Correct calculation of week of month in scheduler and in scheduled
581 - Fix cancel of job waiting on mount to be a bit cleaner.

586 - Allow purge of a single JobId from a Volume (code untested)
587 - Implement fix to keep SD from looping complaining about the wrong volume

589 seem to reproduce the bug here.
590 - Clean up a few more strcpy()s.
592 - Fix configure.in FD User print per Lars.

615 output from Bacula, when reading from a file, it terminates the reading
616 and returns possibly exiting if it is a batch job.
617 - Create devel_bacula.in script and make it configure itself. Very similar
618 to the new bacula.in.
619 - Modify bacula.in to have separate file locations for each daemon -- makes

664 - Cleaned up the btape "fill" command to compare the last block written
665 and read rather than just printing them.
667 - Implement btape test for autochanger.
668 - Implement btape test for Fast Forward Space File.
669 - Moved up to cygwin 1.5.5-1

701 - Reorganize the Volume info update from SD so that the Dir sends back the
702 current information in case the Volume status has changed by expiring.
703 The DIR-SD protocol is not backward compatible (must update).
704 - Fixed the signal handler to pass the signal to the exit_handler()
705 previously it passed 1.
706 - Modified SD so that on normal shutdown, it walks through all jcrs and

874 - In filed/restore.c make sure all error returns cleanup
875 and close the open file descriptor.

1145 - Clean up some unused variables detected by the IRIX compiler.
1146 - Test two directories on Win32 -- caused a crash. I forgot
1147 to NULL the uid cache pointer after releasing it.
1148 - Use bstrncpy() instead of strcpy() in find_files.
1149 - Clear a few linked lists in the temp directory packed in find_one.c

1155 - Update document for Win32 stuff.
1156 - Ensure VolStatus value for update is permitted.
1157 - Fix cached_path so that it is local to the jcr, otherwise, there
1158 are problems from job to job.
1159 - Fixed idcache.c which was not thread safe and didn't release memory,
1160 and didn't always edit the userid correctly.
1161 - Correct missing pool memory allocation in update voluseduration.
1162 - Release mutex in pool_mem.c before triggering ASSERT.
1163 - Lock database while recycling.
1164 - Fix a bug in editing since where I forgot to update to the new size.
1165 - Implement all the command line update arguments.
1166 - Modify label to use volume=xxx for the new volume and oldvolume=yyy
1168 - Added yes to run command line arguments.
1169 - Clear errno in editing a string to utime.
1170 - In restore print only volumes that will actually be used.
1171 - Fix bextract -- add appropriate breaks in new case code.
1172 - Add a new test -- bsr-opt-test for testing bsr optimization. As usual,
1173 it pointed out a bug where the directory tree handling code destroyed
1174 the restore arg list.
1175 - Many updates to the manual.
1176 - Pass prefix links flag to FD.
1177 - Sort list of commands for Console
1178 - Set default FD and SD concurrent jobs to 10.
1179 - Rework the find next volume code in catreq.c to correct some minor
1180 but subtle logic errors and to eliminate a goto.
1181 - Did spell check on manual.
1182 - Removed bindtextdomain() as it conflicted with RH8.0 headers
1183 - Fixed parse_args to pass address of POOLMEM struct.
1184 - Constrain FileIndexes written to BSR to be within range of Volume.
1185 - Suppress writing volumes to BSR if they are not actually referenced.
1186 - Make FOPTS use alist for match and base entries.
1187 - Pass prefix_links to SD.
1188 - Add command line interface to most items in "update volume=xxx"
1189 - Add command line interface to restore "jobid", "current", "before", "all".
1190 - Add command line "yes" to run command to supress prompt.
1191 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
1192 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
1193 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
1194 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
1196 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
1198 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
1199 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
1200 for bscan to work correctly.
1201 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
1203 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
1204 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
1205 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
1206 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
1207 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
1208 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
1210 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
1211 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
1212 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.
1213 - Make file_index int32_t everywhere.
1214 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
1215 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
1216 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
1217 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
1218 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
1219 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
1220 dependencies of sscanf().
1221 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
1222 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
1223 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
1224 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
1225 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
1226 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
1228 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
1229 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
1230 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
1231 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
1232 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
1233 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
1234 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
1236 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
1237 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
1238 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
1239 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
1240 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
1241 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
1242 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
1243 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
1244 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
1245 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
1246 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
1247 there is no working pthread_kill().
1248 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
1249 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
1250 volumes. Now fixed and working!
1251 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
1252 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
1253 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
1254 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
1255 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
1256 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
1257 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
1258 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
1259 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
1260 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
1261 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
1263 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
1264 - Complete Counter resource.
1265 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
1267 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
1268 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
1269 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
1270 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).
1271 - Implement Counter resource.
1272 - Cleanup examples/kernsconfig
1273 - Implement restore to a specific date.
1274 - Fixed a but in automatic labeling (and use durations expiring) analysed
1275 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
1276 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
1277 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
1278 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
1279 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
1280 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
1281 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
1282 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
1285 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
1286 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
1287 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
1288 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
1290 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
1291 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
1292 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
1293 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
1294 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
1295 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
1296 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
1297 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
1299 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
1300 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
1301 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
1302 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
1303 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
1304 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
1305 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
1306 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
1307 - implemented is_stream_supported().
1308 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
1309 - add mtime_only code.
1310 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
1311 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
1312 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
1313 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
1314 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
1315 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
1316 and it is now common for all readers.
1317 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
1318 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
1319 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
1321 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
1322 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
1323 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
1324 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
1325 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
1326 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
1327 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
1328 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
1330 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
1331 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
1332 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
1333 into Pool record on create/updated.
1334 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
1335 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
1336 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
1337 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
1338 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
1339 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
1340 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
1341 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
1342 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
1343 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
1344 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
1345 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
1346 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
1347 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
1348 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
1349 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
1351 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
1352 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
1353 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
1354 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
1355 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
1357 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
1358 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
1359 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
1361 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
1362 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
1363 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
1364 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
1365 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
1366 by overloading the global operators.
1367 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
1368 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
1370 - Started using "bool" where possible.
1371 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
1372 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
1373 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
1375 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
1376 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
1377 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
1378 - Incremented the database version.
1379 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
1381 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
1382 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
1383 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
1384 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
1385 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
1386 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
1387 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
1388 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
1389 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
1390 - Clean up a few error messages.
1391 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
1392 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
1393 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
1394 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
1395 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
1396 numbers are properly written.
1397 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
1398 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
1399 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
1400 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
1401 in a later version).
1402 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
1403 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
1404 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
1405 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
1406 messages are immediately displayed.
1407 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
1408 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
1409 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
1410 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
1411 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
1412 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
1413 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
1414 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
1415 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
1416 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
1418 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
1419 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
1420 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
1421 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
1422 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
1423 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
1424 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
1426 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
1427 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
1429 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
1430 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
1431 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
1432 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
1433 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
1434 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
1435 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
1437 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
1439 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
1440 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
1441 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
1442 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
1444 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
1445 - Add mandrake to platforms
1446 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
1447 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
1448 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
1449 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
1450 - Echo input read from a script in Console.
1451 - Clarify error message for VerifyToCatalog
1452 - Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
1453 - Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
1454 - Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
1455 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
1456 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
1457 as reported by Phil.
1458 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
1459 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
1460 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
1461 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
1462 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
1463 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
1464 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
1465 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
1466 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
1467 - Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
1468 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
1469 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
1470 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
1471 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
1472 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
1473 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
1474 must implement new streams in SD.
1475 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
1476 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
1478 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
1479 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
1480 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
1481 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
1482 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
1483 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
1484 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
1485 - Add platform files for BSDI.
1486 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
1487 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
1488 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
1489 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
1490 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
1491 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
1492 - Begin adding Level = Base.
1493 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
1494 - Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
1495 - Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.
1496 - New bacula.spec from Scott
1497 - Add globals for database name and version and print them in traceback.
1498 - Eliminate SubSysDirectory in each daemon conf file.
1499 - Implement get_yesno() and get_pint() in UA.
1500 - Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
1501 - Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
1502 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
1503 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
1504 - A number of minor code cleanups.
1505 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.
1506 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
1507 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
1508 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
1510 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
1511 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
1512 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
1513 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
1514 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
1515 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
1517 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
1518 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
1519 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
1520 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
1521 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
1522 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
1523 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
1525 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
1526 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
1527 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
1528 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
1529 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
1530 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
1531 any possible confusion.
1532 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
1533 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
1534 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
1535 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
1536 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
1537 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
1538 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
1539 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
1540 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
1541 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
1542 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
1544 - First cut label dialog.
1545 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
1546 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
1547 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
1548 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
1549 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
1550 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
1551 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
1552 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
1553 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
1554 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
1555 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
1556 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
1557 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
1558 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
1559 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
1560 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
1561 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
1562 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
1563 implement individual Console authorization).
1565 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
1566 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
1567 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
1568 be immediately terminated in all cases.
1569 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
1570 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
1571 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
1572 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
1573 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
1574 - Implement When for "run" command.
1575 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
1577 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
1578 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
1579 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
1580 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
1581 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
1582 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
1583 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
1584 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
1585 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
1586 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
1587 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
1589 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
1590 in the console rather than in the Director.
1591 input - read input from a file
1592 output - write output to file
1593 tee - tee output to file and terminal
1594 time - print current time
1595 version - print current version
1598 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
1599 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
1600 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
1601 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
1603 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
1604 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
1605 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
1607 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
1608 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
1609 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
1610 - Lots of documentation of new features.
1611 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
1612 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
1613 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
1614 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
1615 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
1616 saving right away without a tape drive.
1617 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
1618 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
1619 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
1620 are implemented in the Director.
1621 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
1622 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
1623 This includes files moved or copied.
1624 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
1625 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
1626 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
1627 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
1628 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
1629 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
1630 - label barcodes now works.
1631 - Implemented "update slots".
1632 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
1633 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
1634 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
1635 - More work on barcodes.
1636 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
1637 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
1638 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
1639 anything but return the list to the Director.
1640 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
1641 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
1642 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
1643 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
1644 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
1645 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
1646 instead of horizontally.
1647 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
1648 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
1649 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
1650 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
1651 - Lots of new documentation.
1652 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
1653 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
1654 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
1655 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
1656 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
1657 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
1658 - Update client every time a job is run.
1659 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
1660 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
1661 - Release new depkgs
1662 - Release new winbacula.
1663 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
1664 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
1665 Device is requested.
1666 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
1667 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
1668 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
1670 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
1671 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
1672 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
1673 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
1674 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
1675 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
1676 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
1677 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
1678 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
1679 to be able to append.
1680 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
1681 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
1682 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
1683 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
1684 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
1685 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
1686 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
1687 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
1688 certain autochangers.
1689 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
1690 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
1691 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
1692 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
1693 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
1694 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
1696 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
1698 - Final cygwin tweaks.
1699 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
1700 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
1701 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
1702 dealing with bad input.
1703 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
1704 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
1705 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
1706 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
1707 of signal and counting the waiters.
1708 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
1709 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
1710 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
1711 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
1712 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
1713 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
1714 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
1715 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
1716 variables during recycling.
1717 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
1718 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
1719 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
1720 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
1721 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
1722 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
1724 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
1725 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
1726 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
1727 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
1728 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
1729 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
1730 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
1731 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
1732 callers want a new Volume name.
1733 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
1734 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
1735 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
1737 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
1738 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
1740 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
1741 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
1742 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
1743 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
1745 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
1746 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
1747 client not available.
1748 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
1749 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
1751 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
1752 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
1753 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
1754 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
1755 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
1756 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
1757 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
1759 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
1760 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
1761 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
1762 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
1763 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
1764 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
1765 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
1766 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
1768 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
1769 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
1771 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
1772 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
1773 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
1774 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
1775 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
1776 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
1777 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
1778 - Second cut of FileOptions.
1779 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
1780 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
1781 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
1782 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
1783 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
1784 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
1785 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
1786 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
1787 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
1788 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
1789 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
1790 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
1791 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
1792 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
1793 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
1794 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
1795 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
1796 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
1797 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
1798 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
1799 - All changing Pool in console run command.
1800 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
1801 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
1802 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
1803 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
1804 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
1805 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
1806 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
1807 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
1808 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
1809 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
1810 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
1811 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
1812 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
1813 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
1814 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
1815 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
1816 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
1817 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
1818 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
1820 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
1821 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
1822 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
1823 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
1824 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
1826 =============================================================================
1827 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
1829 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
1832 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
1833 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
1834 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
1835 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
1836 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
1837 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
1838 but at least dumps will work).
1840 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
1841 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
1842 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
1843 - Added pthread btimer routines.
1844 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
1845 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
1846 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
1847 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
1849 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
1850 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
1852 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
1853 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
1854 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
1855 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
1856 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
1857 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
1858 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
1860 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
1861 add empty buffer flag).
1863 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
1864 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
1865 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
1868 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
1869 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
1870 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
1871 exactly the same structure.
1872 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
1873 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
1874 of cleanup in message.c
1875 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
1876 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
1877 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
1878 order will be correct.
1879 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
1880 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
1881 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
1882 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
1883 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
1884 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
1885 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
1886 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
1887 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
1888 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
1889 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
1890 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
1891 after the current time -- slow process ...
1893 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
1894 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
1895 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
1897 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
1898 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
1899 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
1900 debugger always works -- we will see.
1901 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
1903 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
1905 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
1906 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
1907 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
1908 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
1909 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
1910 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
1911 jobs finished correctly.
1912 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
1913 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
1914 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
1915 print the full path name.
1916 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
1917 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
1918 duplicate filenames or paths.
1920 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
1921 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
1922 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
1924 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
1925 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
1926 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
1927 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
1928 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
1929 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
1931 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
1932 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
1933 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
1934 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
1935 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
1936 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
1937 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
1940 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
1941 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
1943 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
1944 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
1947 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
1948 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
1949 - Made | and < work.
1950 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
1951 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
1954 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
1955 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
1957 =============================================================================
1958 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
1959 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
1960 reported by James MacLean.
1961 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
1962 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
1963 James MacLean for reporting this.
1965 =============================================================================
1966 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
1967 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
1969 =============================================================================
1970 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
1972 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
1973 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
1974 it as the development goes on.
1975 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
1976 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
1977 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
1978 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
1979 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
1980 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
1983 Changes submitted this submission:
1985 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
1987 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
1988 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
1989 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
1990 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
1992 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
1993 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
1994 splitting path from file).
1996 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
1997 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
1998 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
2000 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
2001 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
2002 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
2004 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
2005 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
2006 handle shorts and long longs.
2008 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
2009 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
2010 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
2011 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
2012 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
2015 - Added more rescue documentation.
2016 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
2017 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
2018 configuration file as the default.
2020 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
2021 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
2024 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
2025 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
2026 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
2027 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
2029 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
2030 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
2031 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
2032 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
2033 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
2035 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
2036 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
2037 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
2038 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
2039 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
2041 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
2042 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
2043 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
2044 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
2046 - Started adding FileOptions ...
2047 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
2048 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
2049 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
2050 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
2051 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
2052 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
2053 block before writing and upon read back.
2054 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
2055 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
2056 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
2057 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
2058 static versions of the daemons.
2060 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
2061 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
2062 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
2063 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
2064 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
2065 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
2066 to help guide the user.
2067 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
2069 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
2070 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
2071 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
2072 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
2074 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
2075 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
2076 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
2078 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
2079 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
2080 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
2081 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
2082 in the restore Console command.
2083 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
2084 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
2085 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
2086 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
2088 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
2090 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
2091 new lib/edit.c file.
2093 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
2094 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
2095 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
2096 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
2097 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
2099 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
2100 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
2101 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
2102 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
2106 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
2107 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
2108 This code is untested.
2109 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
2110 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
2111 as well as getting info from them.
2112 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
2114 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
2115 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
2116 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
2118 - Improved error messages in smtp.
2120 =============================================================================
2121 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
2122 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
2123 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
2125 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
2126 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
2127 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
2129 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
2130 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
2132 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
2133 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
2135 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
2137 General: from kes25Nov02
2138 - Mostly Cygwin changes
2140 Changes submitted this submission:
2141 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
2142 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
2143 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
2144 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
2145 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
2146 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
2147 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
2148 - Build testfind as default.
2149 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
2151 General: from kes21Nov02
2152 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
2153 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
2154 the src/cats directory.
2156 Changes submitted this submission:
2157 - Additional documentation.
2158 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
2159 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
2160 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
2161 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
2162 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
2163 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
2164 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
2165 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
2166 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
2167 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
2168 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
2169 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
2170 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
2171 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
2172 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
2173 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
2174 the SQL noted above.
2175 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
2176 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
2177 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
2178 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
2179 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
2180 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
2182 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
2184 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
2185 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
2186 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
2187 - Add Pool attribute query
2188 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
2189 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
2191 General: from kes18Nov02
2192 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
2193 and prevent buffer overflows.
2195 Changes submitted this submission:
2196 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
2197 jobs get the correct address.
2198 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
2199 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
2200 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
2201 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
2202 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
2204 General: from kes13Nov02
2205 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
2206 ./alter_mysql_tables
2208 ./alter_sqlite_tables
2209 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
2210 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
2212 Changes submitted this submission:
2213 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
2214 when a tape can be marked Used.
2215 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
2216 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
2217 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
2218 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
2219 database. Incremented db version.
2220 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
2221 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
2222 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
2223 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
2224 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
2225 it for MySQL. What a pain!
2226 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
2227 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
2229 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
2230 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
2232 General: from kes09Nov02
2233 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
2234 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
2235 as well as a standard page size.
2236 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
2237 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
2238 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
2239 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
2241 Changes submitted this submission:
2242 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
2243 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
2245 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
2246 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
2248 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
2249 -i option. I have not tested it.
2251 General: from kes30Oct02
2252 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
2253 - bacula stript fixes.
2254 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
2255 - Added openbsd to platforms
2257 Changes submitted this submission:
2258 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
2259 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
2260 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
2261 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
2262 testing was missing.
2263 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
2264 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
2265 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
2266 confusing for the user, but ...
2267 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
2268 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
2270 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
2271 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
2272 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
2273 where the Director seg faulted.
2275 General: from kes29Oct02
2276 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
2278 Changes submitted this submission:
2279 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
2280 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
2281 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
2282 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
2284 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
2285 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
2286 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
2287 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
2288 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
2289 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
2290 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
2291 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
2292 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
2294 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
2296 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
2297 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
2298 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
2299 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
2300 it was a network error.
2301 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
2302 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
2303 console.exe to the release.
2304 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
2305 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
2306 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
2308 General: from kes23Oct02
2309 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
2310 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
2312 - Trademarked name Bacula.
2313 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
2314 will be maintained forever.
2315 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
2318 Changes submitted this submission:
2319 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
2320 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
2321 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
2323 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
2324 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
2325 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
2326 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
2328 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
2329 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
2330 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
2331 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
2332 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
2333 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
2334 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
2335 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
2336 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
2337 This replaces previous floating point times.
2338 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
2339 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
2340 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
2341 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
2342 in the pool to be mounted.
2343 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
2344 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
2345 for it to be enabled.
2346 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
2348 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
2349 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
2350 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
2351 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
2352 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
2353 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
2354 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
2356 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
2357 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
2360 =============================================================================
2361 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
2362 General: from kes10Oct02
2363 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
2364 character on Windows.
2366 Changes submitted this submission:
2367 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
2368 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
2369 - Documentation on GZIP.
2370 - Another restore doc example.
2371 - Documented btape fill command.
2372 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
2373 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
2374 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
2375 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
2376 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
2377 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
2378 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
2379 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
2380 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
2381 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
2382 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
2383 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
2384 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
2385 routines that create files do not print error messages.
2386 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
2387 Currently the following bits are not handled:
2391 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
2393 General: from kes09Oct02
2394 - More documentation.
2395 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
2396 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
2399 Changes submitted this submission:
2400 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
2401 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
2402 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
2403 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
2404 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
2405 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
2406 This will always be zero if no software compression was
2407 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
2408 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
2409 the termination status represents the state of all three
2411 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
2412 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
2415 General: From kes06Oct02
2416 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
2417 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
2418 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
2419 jobs to a File volume.
2420 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
2422 Changes submitted this submission:
2424 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
2425 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
2426 is currently turned off.
2427 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
2429 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
2430 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
2431 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
2432 ./drop_bacula_tables.
2433 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
2434 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
2435 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
2436 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
2437 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
2438 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
2439 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
2440 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
2441 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
2442 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
2444 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
2445 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
2446 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
2447 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
2449 General: From kes25Sep02
2450 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
2453 Changes submitted this submission:
2454 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
2455 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
2456 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
2457 a user -- thank you.
2458 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
2459 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
2460 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
2461 from which you can do a restore.
2462 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
2463 by an explicit ranlib call.
2464 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
2465 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
2466 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
2467 be listed as "Unknown type".
2468 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
2470 General: From kes14Sep02
2471 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
2472 - 64 bit file address support if available.
2473 - Implement autochanger for reading
2474 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
2475 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
2477 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
2478 - Begin implementation of a regression script
2479 - Write bootstrap after ever job
2481 Changes submitted this submission:
2482 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
2483 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
2484 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
2486 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
2487 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
2488 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
2489 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
2490 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
2492 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
2493 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
2494 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
2496 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
2497 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
2498 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
2499 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
2500 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
2502 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
2503 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
2504 acquire_device_for_read()
2505 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
2509 - Fix Volume in bsr.
2510 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
2512 =============================================================================
2513 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
2514 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
2515 will always read the currently mounted tape.
2517 =============================================================================
2518 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
2520 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
2521 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
2522 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
2524 Changes submitted this submission:
2525 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
2527 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
2528 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
2529 for Verify but not really errors.
2532 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
2534 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
2535 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
2536 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
2537 were not properly restored.
2541 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
2542 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
2543 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
2544 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
2545 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
2546 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
2547 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
2548 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
2549 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
2550 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
2551 any restore Job. Arrggg!
2552 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
2553 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
2554 FD not required, but recommended.
2556 Changes submitted this submission:
2557 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
2558 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
2559 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
2560 feedback from users. Thanks.
2561 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
2563 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
2564 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
2565 messages from within the Database subroutines.
2566 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
2567 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
2568 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
2569 of network errors from within the network code.
2570 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
2571 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
2572 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
2573 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
2574 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
2575 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
2576 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
2577 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
2578 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
2579 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
2580 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
2581 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
2582 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
2583 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
2585 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
2586 the restore command.
2587 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
2588 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
2589 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
2590 been done -- thanks Chuck.
2591 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
2592 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
2593 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
2594 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
2595 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
2596 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
2597 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
2598 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
2599 reading them back much easier.
2600 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
2602 =============================================================================
2603 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
2605 - Made a new tools directory.
2606 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
2607 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
2608 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
2609 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
2610 on binaries that actually need it.
2611 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
2612 - Move testfind to tools directory.
2613 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
2614 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
2615 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
2616 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
2617 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
2619 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
2620 listing of the file/directory name.
2621 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
2622 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
2623 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
2624 FileSets, ask user to select one.
2625 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
2626 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
2629 - Made restore actually work.
2630 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
2632 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
2633 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
2634 line arguments. Fixed!
2635 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
2636 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
2637 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
2638 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
2639 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
2640 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
2642 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
2643 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
2644 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
2645 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
2646 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
2647 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
2650 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
2651 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
2652 new read-write lock code.
2653 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
2654 using the rwl_xxx routines.
2655 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
2656 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
2657 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
2658 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
2659 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
2660 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
2661 to the default definition of char.
2662 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
2664 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
2665 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
2666 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
2667 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
2668 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
2669 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
2670 arguments for created run command in restore.
2671 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
2672 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
2673 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
2675 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
2676 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
2677 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
2680 - Did a good amount of documentation.
2681 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
2682 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
2683 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
2684 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
2685 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
2686 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
2687 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
2688 - Increase the sleep time.
2689 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
2690 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
2692 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
2693 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
2694 two or more volumes.
2697 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
2698 - Lots of work on the restore command.
2699 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
2700 when the console program prematurely terminates.
2701 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
2702 them all in the same thread.
2703 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
2704 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
2705 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
2706 on interdaemon communications.
2707 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
2708 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
2709 properly terminated.
2710 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
2714 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
2715 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
2716 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
2717 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
2718 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
2719 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
2720 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
2721 This will permit splitting depkgs.
2722 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
2723 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
2724 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
2725 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
2726 Is dequoting needed?
2727 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
2728 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
2729 but does not produce a dump.
2730 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
2731 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
2732 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
2733 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
2735 ===========================================================================
2736 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
2737 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
2738 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
2740 ===========================================================================
2741 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
2743 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
2744 (still works with older MySQLs).
2745 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
2746 - Added kernstodo to CVS
2747 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
2748 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
2749 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
2750 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
2753 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
2756 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
2757 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
2758 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
2759 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
2760 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
2761 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
2762 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
2763 improve performance.
2764 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
2765 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
2766 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
2767 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
2768 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
2769 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
2770 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
2771 ensure that the door is unlocked.
2772 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
2773 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
2774 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
2775 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
2777 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
2778 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
2780 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
2781 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
2783 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
2784 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
2785 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
2788 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
2790 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
2791 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
2792 is finished with the Job.
2793 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
2794 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
2795 the tape prior to freeing it.
2796 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
2797 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
2798 This permits running an external program with the following editing
2802 %d = Director's name
2811 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
2812 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
2813 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
2815 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
2816 - Currently the changer commands used are:
2817 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
2818 load -- loads a specified slot
2819 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
2820 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
2821 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
2822 slots -- returns total number of slots
2823 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
2824 resource, permits editing of:
2826 %a = archive device name
2827 %c = changer device name
2834 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
2835 specified in the SD Device resource.
2838 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
2839 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
2840 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
2841 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
2842 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
2843 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
2844 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
2845 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
2846 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
2847 to a Console selection request.
2848 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
2849 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
2850 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
2851 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
2852 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
2853 box after history replacement.
2854 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
2855 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
2856 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
2857 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
2858 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
2859 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
2860 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
2861 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
2862 of terminating the Job.
2863 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
2865 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
2869 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
2870 - A fair amount of documentation.
2871 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
2872 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
2873 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
2874 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
2875 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
2876 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
2878 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
2879 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
2880 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
2881 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
2882 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
2883 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
2884 database that you are using.
2885 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
2886 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
2887 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
2888 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
2889 routines even with DEBUG off.
2890 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
2891 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
2892 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
2893 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
2894 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
2895 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
2896 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
2897 handling of errors with minimum code.
2898 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
2899 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
2900 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
2901 resource is part of the Pool resource.
2902 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
2903 yet create a DB record.
2904 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
2906 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
2907 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
2908 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
2910 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
2911 backup and verify volume.
2912 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
2913 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
2914 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
2915 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
2916 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
2917 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
2918 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
2919 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
2920 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
2921 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
2922 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
2923 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
2924 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
2925 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
2926 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
2927 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
2929 ===========================================================================
2930 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
2931 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
2932 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
2933 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
2934 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
2935 will go away in a future release.
2936 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
2937 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
2938 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
2941 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
2942 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
2943 order they appear in the config file.
2944 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
2945 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
2946 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
2947 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
2948 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
2949 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
2950 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
2951 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
2952 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
2953 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
2954 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
2955 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
2956 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
2957 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
2959 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
2960 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
2961 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
2962 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
2965 - Additional documentation.
2966 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
2967 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
2968 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
2969 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
2970 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
2971 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
2976 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
2977 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
2979 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
2980 segment fault on Solaris.
2981 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
2984 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
2985 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
2988 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
2989 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
2990 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
2992 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
2993 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
2994 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
2995 the caller to specify what he wants.
2996 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
2997 and name scanning to lex.
2998 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
3000 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
3001 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
3004 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
3005 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
3006 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
3007 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
3008 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
3009 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
3010 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
3011 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
3012 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
3013 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
3015 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
3016 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
3017 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
3018 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
3019 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
3020 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
3021 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
3023 ===========================================================================
3024 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
3025 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
3026 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
3027 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
3028 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
3029 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
3030 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
3031 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
3032 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
3033 recovery with no database.
3034 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
3035 in your config files.
3036 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
3040 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
3041 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
3042 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
3043 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
3044 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
3046 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
3047 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
3048 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
3049 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
3050 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
3052 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
3053 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
3054 statements per command.
3055 - Implemented three new "query" options:
3056 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
3057 List Volumes used by selected JobId
3058 List Volumes to Restore All Files
3059 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
3060 select the one you want.
3061 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
3062 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
3065 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
3066 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
3067 it with a pthreads mutex.
3068 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
3069 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
3070 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
3071 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
3072 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
3073 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
3080 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
3081 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
3082 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
3083 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
3084 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
3085 add data in the new format to old tapes.
3086 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
3087 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
3088 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
3089 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
3090 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
3091 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
3092 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
3094 ===========================================================================
3095 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
3096 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
3097 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
3098 - Fixed the query command bug.
3099 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
3100 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
3101 points to a working directory.
3102 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
3103 permits a core dump.
3104 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
3105 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
3106 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
3108 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
3109 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
3110 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
3111 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
3112 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
3113 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
3114 potential source of errors.
3115 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
3116 to the Schedule Run record.
3117 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
3118 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
3119 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
3120 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
3121 earlier code reorganization.
3122 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
3123 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
3124 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
3125 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
3126 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
3127 keep around legacy code.
3128 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
3129 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
3130 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
3131 by turning off autopruning.
3132 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
3133 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
3134 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
3135 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
3136 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
3137 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
3138 it forces the specified pruning.
3139 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
3141 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
3142 in place of P() and V().
3143 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
3145 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
3146 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
3147 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
3148 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
3149 calls the UA prune routines.
3150 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
3151 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
3152 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
3153 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
3154 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
3155 daemons if they listen on different ports.
3156 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
3157 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
3158 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
3159 it should be its own typedef.
3160 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
3161 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
3162 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
3163 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
3164 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
3165 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
3166 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
3167 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
3168 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
3169 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
3171 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
3172 the number of Files pruned in the message.
3173 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
3174 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
3175 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
3178 ===========================================================================
3179 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
3180 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
3181 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
3182 commands documented.
3183 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
3184 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
3185 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
3186 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
3187 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
3188 due to a bug in MySQL.
3189 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
3190 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
3191 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
3192 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
3193 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
3194 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
3195 Bug reported by Phil.
3196 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
3197 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
3198 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
3199 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
3200 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
3201 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
3202 older gcc compilers.
3203 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
3204 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
3205 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
3206 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
3207 in UserAgent server.
3208 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
3209 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
3210 - Delete unused code from backup.c
3211 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
3212 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
3213 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
3214 This dummy value should never be printed.
3215 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
3216 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
3217 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
3219 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
3220 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
3221 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
3223 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
3224 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
3225 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
3226 new btime_t definition.
3227 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
3228 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
3229 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
3230 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
3231 descriptive of what is done.
3232 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
3233 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
3234 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
3235 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
3236 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
3237 - Additional config options for Console.
3238 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
3239 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
3240 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
3241 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
3242 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
3243 to modify Media table.
3244 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
3245 message if the make ends in error.
3246 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
3247 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
3248 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
3249 all associated records in the database.
3250 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
3251 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
3252 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
3253 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
3254 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
3255 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
3256 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
3257 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
3258 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
3259 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
3261 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
3262 kept in ua and jcr structures).
3263 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
3264 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
3265 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
3266 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
3267 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
3268 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
3269 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
3270 - Make console accept redirected input.
3271 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
3272 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
3273 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
3274 - Use JobId_t in more places.
3275 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
3276 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
3277 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
3278 future changes in the database. This should prevent
3279 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
3280 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
3281 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
3282 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
3283 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
3284 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
3285 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
3286 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
3287 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
3288 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
3289 - Purge Volume now works.
3290 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
3291 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
3292 More work to be done to search for termcap.
3293 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
3294 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
3295 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
3296 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
3297 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
3298 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
3299 not have the ALTER SQL command.
3300 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
3301 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
3302 This value is used when doing pruning.
3303 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
3304 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
3305 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
3306 retention period changes.
3307 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
3308 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
3310 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
3311 message resources. Much more work to be done.
3312 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
3314 ===========================================================================
3315 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
3316 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
3317 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
3318 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
3319 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
3320 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
3321 due to a bug in MySQL.
3322 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
3323 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
3324 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
3325 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
3326 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
3327 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
3328 Bug reported by Phil.
3329 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
3330 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
3331 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
3332 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
3334 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
3335 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
3336 older gcc compilers.
3337 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
3340 ===========================================================================
3341 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
3342 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
3344 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
3345 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
3346 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
3347 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
3348 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
3349 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
3350 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
3351 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
3352 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
3353 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
3354 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
3355 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
3356 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
3357 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
3358 broke the restore code.
3359 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
3360 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
3361 variable block sizes.
3362 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
3363 (at least on DAT tapes).
3364 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
3365 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
3367 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
3369 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
3370 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
3371 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
3372 prototype problem for C++.
3374 ===========================================================================
3375 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
3376 - Many intervening changes/updates.
3378 2001-09-29 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
3379 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
3380 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
3382 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
3383 - Helped John install at his site.
3384 He is backing up one Linux machine and
3385 one Win2000 machine.
3387 2001-mm-dd Many releases
3388 - Released internally.
3390 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
3391 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
3392 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
3393 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
3394 remains a lot to do.
3395 - The file search code is now integrated into the
3396 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
3397 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
3398 all the database records are being created, though
3399 there still remains some work in getting all the
3400 details into the records (such as the Storage
3402 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
3403 - I've defined error message handling though no code
3405 - The following resources and records are implemented
3406 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
3409 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
3412 Password (not yet used)
3414 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
3418 Backup (only one permitted)
3421 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
3424 Include (options ignored)
3425 Exclude (no options)
3430 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
3433 Address, Port, Password (not used)
3436 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
3438 - Added Storage configuration routines.
3440 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
3442 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
3445 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
3446 Archive Device (defines device name)
3449 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
3450 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
3451 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
3452 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
3453 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
3454 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
3455 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
3456 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
3458 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
3459 implement it in the daemons.
3460 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
3461 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
3462 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
3465 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
3466 - Integrated John's fixes.
3467 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
3468 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
3469 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
3470 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
3472 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
3473 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
3474 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
3476 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
3477 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
