43 2003-07-08 Version 1.31 Beta 08Jul03
44 - Update document for Win32 stuff.
45 - Ensure VolStatus value for update is permitted.
46 - Fix cached_path so that it is local to the jcr, otherwise, there
47 are problems from job to job.
48 - Fixed idcache.c which was not thread safe and didn't release memory,
49 and didn't always edit the userid correctly.
50 - Correct missing pool memory allocation in update voluseduration.
51 - Release mutex in pool_mem.c before triggering ASSERT.
52 - Lock database while recycling.
53 - Fix a bug in editing since where I forgot to update to the new size.
54 - Implement all the command line update arguments.
55 - Modify label to use volume=xxx for the new volume and oldvolume=yyy
57 - Added yes to run command line arguments.
58 - Clear errno in editing a string to utime.
59 - In restore print only volumes that will actually be used.
60 - Fix bextract -- add appropriate breaks in new case code.
61 - Add a new test -- bsr-opt-test for testing bsr optimization. As usual,
62 it pointed out a bug where the directory tree handling code destroyed
64 - Many updates to the manual.
65 - Pass prefix links flag to FD.
66 - Sort list of commands for Console
67 - Set default FD and SD concurrent jobs to 10.
68 - Rework the find next volume code in catreq.c to correct some minor
69 but subtle logic errors and to eliminate a goto.
70 - Did spell check on manual.
71 - Removed bindtextdomain() as it conflicted with RH8.0 headers
72 - Fixed parse_args to pass address of POOLMEM struct.
73 - Constrain FileIndexes written to BSR to be within range of Volume.
74 - Suppress writing volumes to BSR if they are not actually referenced.
75 - Make FOPTS use alist for match and base entries.
76 - Pass prefix_links to SD.
77 - Add command line interface to most items in "update volume=xxx"
78 - Add command line interface to restore "jobid", "current", "before", "all".
79 - Add command line "yes" to run command to supress prompt.
80 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
81 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
82 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
83 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
85 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
87 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
88 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
89 for bscan to work correctly.
90 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
92 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
93 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
94 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
95 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
96 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
97 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
99 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
100 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
101 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.
102 - Make file_index int32_t everywhere.
103 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
104 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
105 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
106 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
107 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
108 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
109 dependencies of sscanf().
110 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
111 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
112 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
113 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
114 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
115 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
117 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
118 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
119 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
120 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
121 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
122 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
123 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
125 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
126 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
127 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
128 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
129 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
130 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
131 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
132 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
133 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
134 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
135 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
136 there is no working pthread_kill().
137 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
138 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
139 volumes. Now fixed and working!
140 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
141 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
142 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
143 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
144 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
145 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
146 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
147 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
148 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
149 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
150 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
152 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
153 - Complete Counter resource.
154 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
156 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
157 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
158 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
159 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).
160 - Implement Counter resource.
161 - Cleanup examples/kernsconfig
162 - Implement restore to a specific date.
163 - Fixed a but in automatic labeling (and use durations expiring) analysed
164 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
165 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
166 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
167 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
168 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
169 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
170 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
171 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
174 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
175 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
176 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
177 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
179 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
180 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
181 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
182 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
183 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
184 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
185 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
186 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
188 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
189 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
190 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
191 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
192 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
193 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
194 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
195 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
196 - implemented is_stream_supported().
197 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
198 - add mtime_only code.
199 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
200 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
201 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
202 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
203 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
204 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
205 and it is now common for all readers.
206 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
207 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
208 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
210 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
211 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
212 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
213 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
214 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
215 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
216 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
217 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
219 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
220 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
221 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
222 into Pool record on create/updated.
223 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
224 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
225 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
226 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
227 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
228 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
229 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
230 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
231 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
232 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
233 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
234 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
235 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
236 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
237 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
238 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
240 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
241 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
242 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
243 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
244 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
246 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
247 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
248 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
250 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
251 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
252 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
253 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
254 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
255 by overloading the global operators.
256 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
257 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
259 - Started using "bool" where possible.
260 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
261 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
262 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
264 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
265 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
266 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
267 - Incremented the database version.
268 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
270 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
271 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
272 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
273 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
274 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
275 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
276 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
277 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
278 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
279 - Clean up a few error messages.
280 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
281 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
282 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
283 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
284 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
285 numbers are properly written.
286 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
287 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
288 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
289 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
291 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
292 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
293 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
294 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
295 messages are immediately displayed.
296 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
297 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
298 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
299 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
300 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
301 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
302 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
303 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
304 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
305 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
307 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
308 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
309 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
310 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
311 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
312 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
313 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
315 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
316 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
318 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
319 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
320 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
321 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
322 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
323 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
324 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
326 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
328 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
329 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
330 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
331 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
333 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
334 - Add mandrake to platforms
335 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
336 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
337 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
338 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
339 - Echo input read from a script in Console.
340 - Clarify error message for VerifyToCatalog
341 - Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
342 - Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
343 - Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
344 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
345 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
347 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
348 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
349 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
350 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
351 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
352 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
353 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'

360 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
361 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
362 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
363 must implement new streams in SD.
364 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
365 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
367 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
368 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
369 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
370 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
371 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
372 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
373 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
374 - Add platform files for BSDI.
375 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
376 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
377 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
378 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
379 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
380 - Add doc to code in autoprune.

396 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
397 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
399 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
400 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
401 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
402 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
403 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
404 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
406 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
407 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
408 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
409 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
410 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
411 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
412 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
414 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
415 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
416 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
417 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
418 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
419 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
420 any possible confusion.
421 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
422 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
423 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
424 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
425 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
426 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
427 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
428 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
429 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
430 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
431 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
433 - First cut label dialog.
434 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
435 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
436 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
437 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
438 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
439 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
440 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
441 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
442 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
443 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
444 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
445 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
446 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
447 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
448 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
449 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
450 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
451 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
452 implement individual Console authorization).
454 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
455 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
456 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
457 be immediately terminated in all cases.
458 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
459 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
460 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
461 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
462 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
463 - Implement When for "run" command.
464 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
466 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
467 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
468 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
469 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
470 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
471 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
472 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
473 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
474 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
475 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
476 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
478 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
479 in the console rather than in the Director.
480 input - read input from a file
481 output - write output to file
482 tee - tee output to file and terminal
483 time - print current time
484 version - print current version
487 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
488 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
489 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
490 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
492 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
493 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
494 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
496 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
497 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
498 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
499 - Lots of documentation of new features.
500 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
501 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
502 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
503 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
504 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
505 saving right away without a tape drive.
506 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
507 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
508 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
509 are implemented in the Director.
510 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
511 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
512 This includes files moved or copied.
513 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
514 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
515 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
516 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
517 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
518 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
519 - label barcodes now works.
520 - Implemented "update slots".
521 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
522 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
523 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
524 - More work on barcodes.
525 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
526 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
527 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
528 anything but return the list to the Director.
529 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
530 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
531 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
532 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
533 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
534 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
535 instead of horizontally.
536 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
537 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
538 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
539 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
540 - Lots of new documentation.
541 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
542 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
543 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
544 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
545 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
546 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
547 - Update client every time a job is run.
548 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
549 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
551 - Release new winbacula.
552 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
553 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
555 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
556 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
557 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
559 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
560 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
561 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
562 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
563 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
564 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
565 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
566 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
567 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
568 to be able to append.
569 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
570 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
571 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
572 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
573 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
574 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
575 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
576 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
577 certain autochangers.
578 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
579 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
580 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
581 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
582 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
583 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
585 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
587 - Final cygwin tweaks.
588 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
589 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
590 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
591 dealing with bad input.
592 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
593 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
594 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
595 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
596 of signal and counting the waiters.
597 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
598 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
599 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
600 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
601 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
602 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
603 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
604 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
605 variables during recycling.
606 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
607 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
608 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
609 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
610 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
611 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
613 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
614 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
615 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
616 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
617 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
618 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
619 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
620 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
621 callers want a new Volume name.
622 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
623 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
624 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
626 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
627 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
629 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
630 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
631 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
632 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
634 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
635 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
636 client not available.
637 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
638 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
640 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
641 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
642 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
643 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
644 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
645 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
646 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
648 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
649 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
650 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
651 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
652 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
653 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
654 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
655 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
657 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
658 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
660 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
661 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
662 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
663 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
664 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
665 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
666 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
667 - Second cut of FileOptions.
668 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
669 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
670 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
671 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
672 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
673 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
674 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
675 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
676 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
677 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
678 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
679 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
680 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
681 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
682 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
683 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
684 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
685 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
686 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
687 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
688 - All changing Pool in console run command.
689 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
690 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
691 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
692 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
693 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
694 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
695 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
696 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
697 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
698 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
699 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
700 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
701 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
702 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
703 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
704 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
705 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
706 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
707 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
709 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
710 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
711 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
712 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
713 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
715 =============================================================================
716 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
718 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
721 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
722 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
723 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
724 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
725 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
726 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
727 but at least dumps will work).
729 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
730 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
731 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
732 - Added pthread btimer routines.
733 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
734 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
735 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
736 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
738 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
739 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
741 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
742 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
743 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
744 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
745 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
746 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
747 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
749 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
750 add empty buffer flag).
752 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
753 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
754 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
757 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
758 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
759 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
760 exactly the same structure.
761 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
762 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
763 of cleanup in message.c
764 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
765 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
766 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
767 order will be correct.
768 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
769 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
770 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
771 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
772 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
773 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
774 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
775 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
776 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
777 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
778 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
779 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
780 after the current time -- slow process ...
782 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
783 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
784 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
786 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
787 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
788 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
789 debugger always works -- we will see.
790 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
792 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
794 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
795 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
796 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
797 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
798 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
799 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
800 jobs finished correctly.
801 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
802 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
803 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
804 print the full path name.
805 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
806 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
807 duplicate filenames or paths.
809 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
810 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
811 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
813 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
814 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
815 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
816 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
817 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
818 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
820 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
821 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
822 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
823 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
824 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
825 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
826 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
829 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
830 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
832 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
833 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
836 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
837 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
839 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
840 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
843 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
844 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
846 =============================================================================
847 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
848 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
849 reported by James MacLean.
850 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
851 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
852 James MacLean for reporting this.
854 =============================================================================
855 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
856 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
858 =============================================================================
859 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
861 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
862 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
863 it as the development goes on.
864 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
865 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
866 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
867 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
868 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
869 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
872 Changes submitted this submission:
874 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
876 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
877 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
878 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
879 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
881 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
882 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
883 splitting path from file).
885 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
886 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
887 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
889 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
890 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
891 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
893 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
894 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
895 handle shorts and long longs.
897 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
898 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
899 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
900 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
901 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
904 - Added more rescue documentation.
905 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
906 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
907 configuration file as the default.
909 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
910 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
913 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
914 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
915 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
916 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
918 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
919 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
920 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
921 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
922 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
924 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
925 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
926 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
927 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
928 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
930 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
931 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
932 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
933 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
935 - Started adding FileOptions ...
936 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
937 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
938 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
939 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
940 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
941 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
942 block before writing and upon read back.
943 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
944 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
945 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
946 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
947 static versions of the daemons.
949 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
950 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
951 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
952 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
953 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
954 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
955 to help guide the user.
956 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
958 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
959 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
960 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
961 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
963 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
964 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
965 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
967 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
968 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
969 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
970 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
971 in the restore Console command.
972 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
973 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
974 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
975 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
977 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
979 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
982 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
983 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
984 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
985 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
986 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
988 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
989 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
990 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
991 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
995 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
996 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
997 This code is untested.
998 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
999 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
1000 as well as getting info from them.
1001 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
1003 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
1004 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
1005 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
1007 - Improved error messages in smtp.
1009 =============================================================================
1010 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
1011 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
1012 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
1014 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
1015 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
1016 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
1018 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
1019 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
1021 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
1022 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
1024 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
1026 General: from kes25Nov02
1027 - Mostly Cygwin changes
1029 Changes submitted this submission:
1030 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
1031 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
1032 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
1033 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
1034 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
1035 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
1036 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
1037 - Build testfind as default.
1038 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
1040 General: from kes21Nov02
1041 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
1042 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
1043 the src/cats directory.
1045 Changes submitted this submission:
1046 - Additional documentation.
1047 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
1048 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
1049 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
1050 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
1051 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
1052 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
1053 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
1054 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
1055 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
1056 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
1057 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
1058 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
1059 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
1060 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
1061 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
1062 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
1063 the SQL noted above.
1064 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
1065 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
1066 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
1067 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
1068 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
1069 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
1071 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
1073 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
1074 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
1075 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
1076 - Add Pool attribute query
1077 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
1078 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
1080 General: from kes18Nov02
1081 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
1082 and prevent buffer overflows.
1084 Changes submitted this submission:
1085 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
1086 jobs get the correct address.
1087 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
1088 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
1089 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
1090 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
1091 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
1093 General: from kes13Nov02
1094 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
1095 ./alter_mysql_tables
1097 ./alter_sqlite_tables
1098 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
1099 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
1101 Changes submitted this submission:
1102 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
1103 when a tape can be marked Used.
1104 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
1105 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
1106 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
1107 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
1108 database. Incremented db version.
1109 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
1110 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
1111 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
1112 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
1113 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
1114 it for MySQL. What a pain!
1115 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
1116 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
1118 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
1119 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
1121 General: from kes09Nov02
1122 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
1123 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
1124 as well as a standard page size.
1125 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
1126 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
1127 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
1128 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
1130 Changes submitted this submission:
1131 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
1132 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
1134 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
1135 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
1137 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
1138 -i option. I have not tested it.
1140 General: from kes30Oct02
1141 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
1142 - bacula stript fixes.
1143 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
1144 - Added openbsd to platforms
1146 Changes submitted this submission:
1147 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
1148 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
1149 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
1150 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
1151 testing was missing.
1152 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
1153 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
1154 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
1155 confusing for the user, but ...
1156 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
1157 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
1159 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
1160 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
1161 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
1162 where the Director seg faulted.
1164 General: from kes29Oct02
1165 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
1167 Changes submitted this submission:
1168 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
1169 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
1170 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
1171 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
1173 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
1174 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
1175 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
1176 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
1177 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
1178 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
1179 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
1180 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
1181 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
1183 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
1185 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
1186 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
1187 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
1188 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
1189 it was a network error.
1190 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
1191 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
1192 console.exe to the release.
1193 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
1194 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
1195 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
1197 General: from kes23Oct02
1198 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
1199 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
1201 - Trademarked name Bacula.
1202 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
1203 will be maintained forever.
1204 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
1207 Changes submitted this submission:
1208 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
1209 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
1210 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
1212 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
1213 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
1214 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
1215 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
1217 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
1218 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
1219 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
1220 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
1221 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
1222 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
1223 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
1224 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
1225 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
1226 This replaces previous floating point times.
1227 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
1228 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
1229 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
1230 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
1231 in the pool to be mounted.
1232 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
1233 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
1234 for it to be enabled.
1235 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
1237 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
1238 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
1239 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
1240 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
1241 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
1242 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
1243 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
1245 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
1246 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
1249 =============================================================================
1250 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
1251 General: from kes10Oct02
1252 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
1253 character on Windows.
1255 Changes submitted this submission:
1256 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
1257 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
1258 - Documentation on GZIP.
1259 - Another restore doc example.
1260 - Documented btape fill command.
1261 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
1262 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
1263 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
1264 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
1265 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
1266 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
1267 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
1268 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
1269 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
1270 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
1271 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
1272 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
1273 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
1274 routines that create files do not print error messages.
1275 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
1276 Currently the following bits are not handled:
1280 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
1282 General: from kes09Oct02
1283 - More documentation.
1284 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1285 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1288 Changes submitted this submission:
1289 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
1290 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
1291 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
1292 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
1293 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
1294 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
1295 This will always be zero if no software compression was
1296 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
1297 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
1298 the termination status represents the state of all three
1300 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
1301 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
1304 General: From kes06Oct02
1305 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
1306 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
1307 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
1308 jobs to a File volume.
1309 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
1311 Changes submitted this submission:
1313 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
1314 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
1315 is currently turned off.
1316 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
1318 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
1319 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
1320 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
1321 ./drop_bacula_tables.
1322 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
1323 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
1324 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
1325 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
1326 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
1327 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
1328 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
1329 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
1330 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
1331 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
1333 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
1334 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
1335 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
1336 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
1338 General: From kes25Sep02
1339 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
1342 Changes submitted this submission:
1343 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
1344 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
1345 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
1346 a user -- thank you.
1347 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
1348 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
1349 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
1350 from which you can do a restore.
1351 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
1352 by an explicit ranlib call.
1353 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
1354 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
1355 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
1356 be listed as "Unknown type".
1357 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
1359 General: From kes14Sep02
1360 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
1361 - 64 bit file address support if available.
1362 - Implement autochanger for reading
1363 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
1364 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
1366 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
1367 - Begin implementation of a regression script
1368 - Write bootstrap after ever job
1370 Changes submitted this submission:
1371 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
1372 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
1373 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
1375 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
1376 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
1377 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
1378 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
1379 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
1381 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
1382 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
1383 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
1385 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
1386 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
1387 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
1388 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
1389 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
1391 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
1392 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
1393 acquire_device_for_read()
1394 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
1398 - Fix Volume in bsr.
1399 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
1401 =============================================================================
1402 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
1403 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
1404 will always read the currently mounted tape.
1406 =============================================================================
1407 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
1409 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
1410 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
1411 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
1413 Changes submitted this submission:
1414 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
1416 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
1417 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
1418 for Verify but not really errors.
1421 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
1423 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
1424 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
1425 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
1426 were not properly restored.
1430 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
1431 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
1432 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
1433 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
1434 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
1435 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
1436 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
1437 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
1438 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
1439 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
1440 any restore Job. Arrggg!
1441 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
1442 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
1443 FD not required, but recommended.
1445 Changes submitted this submission:
1446 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
1447 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
1448 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
1449 feedback from users. Thanks.
1450 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
1452 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
1453 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
1454 messages from within the Database subroutines.
1455 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
1456 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
1457 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
1458 of network errors from within the network code.
1459 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
1460 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
1461 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
1462 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
1463 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
1464 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
1465 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
1466 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
1467 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
1468 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
1469 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
1470 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
1471 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
1472 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
1474 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
1475 the restore command.
1476 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
1477 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
1478 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
1479 been done -- thanks Chuck.
1480 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
1481 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
1482 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
1483 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
1484 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
1485 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
1486 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
1487 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
1488 reading them back much easier.
1489 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
1491 =============================================================================
1492 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
1494 - Made a new tools directory.
1495 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
1496 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
1497 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
1498 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
1499 on binaries that actually need it.
1500 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
1501 - Move testfind to tools directory.
1502 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
1503 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
1504 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
1505 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
1506 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
1508 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
1509 listing of the file/directory name.
1510 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
1511 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
1512 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
1513 FileSets, ask user to select one.
1514 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
1515 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
1518 - Made restore actually work.
1519 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
1521 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
1522 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
1523 line arguments. Fixed!
1524 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
1525 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
1526 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
1527 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
1528 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
1529 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
1531 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
1532 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
1533 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
1534 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
1535 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
1536 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
1539 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
1540 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
1541 new read-write lock code.
1542 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
1543 using the rwl_xxx routines.
1544 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
1545 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
1546 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
1547 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
1548 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
1549 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
1550 to the default definition of char.
1551 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
1553 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
1554 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
1555 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
1556 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
1557 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
1558 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
1559 arguments for created run command in restore.
1560 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
1561 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
1562 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
1564 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
1565 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
1566 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
1569 - Did a good amount of documentation.
1570 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
1571 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
1572 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
1573 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
1574 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
1575 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
1576 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
1577 - Increase the sleep time.
1578 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
1579 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
1581 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
1582 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
1583 two or more volumes.
1586 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
1587 - Lots of work on the restore command.
1588 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
1589 when the console program prematurely terminates.
1590 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
1591 them all in the same thread.
1592 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
1593 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
1594 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
1595 on interdaemon communications.
1596 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
1597 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
1598 properly terminated.
1599 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
1603 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
1604 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
1605 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
1606 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
1607 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
1608 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
1609 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
1610 This will permit splitting depkgs.
1611 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
1612 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
1613 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
1614 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
1615 Is dequoting needed?
1616 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
1617 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
1618 but does not produce a dump.
1619 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
1620 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
1621 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
1622 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
1624 ===========================================================================
1625 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
1626 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
1627 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
1629 ===========================================================================
1630 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
1632 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
1633 (still works with older MySQLs).
1634 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
1635 - Added kernstodo to CVS
1636 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
1637 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
1638 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
1639 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
1642 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
1645 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
1646 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
1647 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
1648 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
1649 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
1650 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
1651 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
1652 improve performance.
1653 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
1654 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
1655 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
1656 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
1657 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
1658 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
1659 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
1660 ensure that the door is unlocked.
1661 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
1662 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
1663 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
1664 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
1666 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
1667 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
1669 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
1670 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
1672 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
1673 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
1674 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
1677 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
1679 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
1680 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
1681 is finished with the Job.
1682 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
1683 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
1684 the tape prior to freeing it.
1685 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
1686 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
1687 This permits running an external program with the following editing
1691 %d = Director's name
1700 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
1701 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
1702 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
1704 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
1705 - Currently the changer commands used are:
1706 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
1707 load -- loads a specified slot
1708 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
1709 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
1710 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
1711 slots -- returns total number of slots
1712 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
1713 resource, permits editing of:
1715 %a = archive device name
1716 %c = changer device name
1723 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
1724 specified in the SD Device resource.
1727 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
1728 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
1729 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
1730 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
1731 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
1732 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
1733 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
1734 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
1735 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
1736 to a Console selection request.
1737 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
1738 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
1739 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
1740 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
1741 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
1742 box after history replacement.
1743 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
1744 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
1745 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
1746 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
1747 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
1748 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
1749 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
1750 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
1751 of terminating the Job.
1752 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
1754 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
1758 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
1759 - A fair amount of documentation.
1760 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
1761 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
1762 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
1763 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
1764 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
1765 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
1767 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
1768 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
1769 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
1770 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
1771 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
1772 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
1773 database that you are using.
1774 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
1775 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
1776 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
1777 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
1778 routines even with DEBUG off.
1779 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
1780 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
1781 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
1782 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
1783 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
1784 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
1785 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
1786 handling of errors with minimum code.
1787 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
1788 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
1789 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
1790 resource is part of the Pool resource.
1791 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
1792 yet create a DB record.
1793 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
1795 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
1796 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
1797 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
1799 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
1800 backup and verify volume.
1801 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
1802 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
1803 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
1804 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
1805 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
1806 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
1807 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
1808 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
1809 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
1810 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
1811 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
1812 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
1813 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
1814 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
1815 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
1816 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
1818 ===========================================================================
1819 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
1820 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
1821 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
1822 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
1823 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
1824 will go away in a future release.
1825 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
1826 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
1827 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
1830 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
1831 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
1832 order they appear in the config file.
1833 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
1834 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
1835 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
1836 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
1837 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
1838 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
1839 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
1840 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
1841 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
1842 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
1843 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
1844 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
1845 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
1846 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
1848 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
1849 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
1850 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
1851 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
1854 - Additional documentation.
1855 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
1856 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
1857 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
1858 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
1859 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
1860 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
1865 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
1866 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
1868 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
1869 segment fault on Solaris.
1870 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
1873 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
1874 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
1877 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
1878 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
1879 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
1881 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
1882 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
1883 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
1884 the caller to specify what he wants.
1885 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
1886 and name scanning to lex.
1887 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
1889 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
1890 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
1893 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
1894 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
1895 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
1896 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
1897 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
1898 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
1899 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
1900 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
1901 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
1902 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
1904 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
1905 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
1906 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
1907 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
1908 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
1909 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
1910 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
1912 ===========================================================================
1913 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
1914 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
1915 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
1916 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
1917 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
1918 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
1919 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
1920 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
1921 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
1922 recovery with no database.
1923 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
1924 in your config files.
1925 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
1929 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
1930 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
1931 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
1932 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
1933 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
1935 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
1936 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
1937 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
1938 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
1939 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
1941 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
1942 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
1943 statements per command.
1944 - Implemented three new "query" options:
1945 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
1946 List Volumes used by selected JobId
1947 List Volumes to Restore All Files
1948 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
1949 select the one you want.
1950 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
1951 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
1954 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
1955 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
1956 it with a pthreads mutex.
1957 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
1958 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
1959 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
1960 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
1961 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
1962 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
1969 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
1970 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
1971 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
1972 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
1973 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
1974 add data in the new format to old tapes.
1975 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
1976 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
1977 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
1978 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
1979 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
1980 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
1981 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
1983 ===========================================================================
1984 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
1985 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
1986 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
1987 - Fixed the query command bug.
1988 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
1989 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
1990 points to a working directory.
1991 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
1992 permits a core dump.
1993 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
1994 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
1995 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
1997 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
1998 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
1999 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
2000 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
2001 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
2002 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
2003 potential source of errors.
2004 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
2005 to the Schedule Run record.
2006 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
2007 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
2008 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
2009 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
2010 earlier code reorganization.
2011 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
2012 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
2013 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
2014 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
2015 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
2016 keep around legacy code.
2017 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
2018 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
2019 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
2020 by turning off autopruning.
2021 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
2022 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
2023 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
2024 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
2025 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
2026 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
2027 it forces the specified pruning.
2028 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
2030 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
2031 in place of P() and V().
2032 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
2034 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
2035 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
2036 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
2037 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
2038 calls the UA prune routines.
2039 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
2040 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
2041 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
2042 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
2043 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
2044 daemons if they listen on different ports.
2045 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
2046 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
2047 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
2048 it should be its own typedef.
2049 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
2050 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
2051 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
2052 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
2053 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
2054 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
2055 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
2056 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
2057 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
2058 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
2060 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
2061 the number of Files pruned in the message.
2062 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
2063 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
2064 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
2067 ===========================================================================
2068 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
2069 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
2070 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
2071 commands documented.
2072 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
2073 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
2074 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
2075 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
2076 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
2077 due to a bug in MySQL.
2078 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
2079 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
2080 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
2081 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
2082 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
2083 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
2084 Bug reported by Phil.
2085 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
2086 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
2087 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
2088 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
2089 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
2090 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
2091 older gcc compilers.
2092 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
2093 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
2094 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
2095 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
2096 in UserAgent server.
2097 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
2098 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
2099 - Delete unused code from backup.c
2100 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
2101 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
2102 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
2103 This dummy value should never be printed.
2104 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
2105 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
2106 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
2108 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
2109 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
2110 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
2112 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
2113 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
2114 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
2115 new btime_t definition.
2116 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
2117 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
2118 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
2119 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
2120 descriptive of what is done.
2121 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
2122 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
2123 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
2124 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
2125 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
2126 - Additional config options for Console.
2127 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
2128 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
2129 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
2130 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
2131 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
2132 to modify Media table.
2133 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
2134 message if the make ends in error.
2135 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
2136 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
2137 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
2138 all associated records in the database.
2139 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
2140 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
2141 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
2142 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
2143 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
2144 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
2145 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
2146 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
2147 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
2148 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
2150 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
2151 kept in ua and jcr structures).
2152 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
2153 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
2154 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
2155 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
2156 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
2157 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
2158 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
2159 - Make console accept redirected input.
2160 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
2161 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
2162 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
2163 - Use JobId_t in more places.
2164 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
2165 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
2166 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
2167 future changes in the database. This should prevent
2168 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
2169 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
2170 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
2171 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
2172 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
2173 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
2174 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
2175 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
2176 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
2177 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
2178 - Purge Volume now works.
2179 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
2180 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
2181 More work to be done to search for termcap.
2182 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
2183 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
2184 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
2185 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
2186 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
2187 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
2188 not have the ALTER SQL command.
2189 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
2190 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
2191 This value is used when doing pruning.
2192 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
2193 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
2194 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
2195 retention period changes.
2196 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
2197 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
2199 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
2200 message resources. Much more work to be done.
2201 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
2203 ===========================================================================
2204 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
2205 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
2206 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
2207 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
2208 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
2209 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
2210 due to a bug in MySQL.
2211 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
2212 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
2213 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
2214 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
2215 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
2216 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
2217 Bug reported by Phil.
2218 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
2219 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
2220 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
2221 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
2223 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
2224 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
2225 older gcc compilers.
2226 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
2229 ===========================================================================
2230 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
2231 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
2233 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
2234 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
2235 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
2236 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
2237 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
2238 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
2239 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
2240 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
2241 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
2242 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
2243 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
2244 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
2245 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
2246 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
2247 broke the restore code.
2248 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
2249 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
2250 variable block sizes.
2251 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
2252 (at least on DAT tapes).
2253 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
2254 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
2256 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
2258 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
2259 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
2260 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
2261 prototype problem for C++.
2263 ===========================================================================
2264 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
2265 - Many intervening changes/updates.
2267 2001-09-29 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
2268 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
2269 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
2271 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
2272 - Helped John install at his site.
2273 He is backing up one Linux machine and
2274 one Win2000 machine.
2276 2001-mm-dd Many releases
2277 - Released internally.
2279 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
2280 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
2281 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
2282 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
2283 remains a lot to do.
2284 - The file search code is now integrated into the
2285 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
2286 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
2287 all the database records are being created, though
2288 there still remains some work in getting all the
2289 details into the records (such as the Storage
2291 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
2292 - I've defined error message handling though no code
2294 - The following resources and records are implemented
2295 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
2298 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
2301 Password (not yet used)
2303 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
2307 Backup (only one permitted)
2310 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
2313 Include (options ignored)
2314 Exclude (no options)
2319 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
2322 Address, Port, Password (not used)
2325 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
2327 - Added Storage configuration routines.
2329 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
2331 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
2334 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
2335 Archive Device (defines device name)
2338 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
2339 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
2340 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
2341 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
2342 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
2343 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
2344 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
2345 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
2347 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
2348 implement it in the daemons.
2349 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
2350 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
2351 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
2354 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
2355 - Integrated John's fixes.
2356 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
2357 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
2358 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
2359 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
2361 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
2362 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
2363 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
2365 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
2366 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
