2 2004-04-20 Version 1.34.1 20Apr04 Release
4 - Found and fixed SD crash during restore.
5 - Added FreeBSD Bare Metal Recovery documentation by Alex Torres
7 - Added nice graphics produced by Aristedes Maniatis giving an
8 overall view of Bacula.
9 - Changed textdomain to be "bacula" in all progs.
10 - Fixed a major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple
11 simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had
12 blocked another because of resource usage. This caused a deadlock
13 and CPU usage. Reported by Michel Meyers.
14 - Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings
15 if any warning messages were generated.
16 - Change output of restore report to indicate:
17 "Restore OK -- warning file count mismatch"
18 - Make backup report say "Backup OK with warnings" if either FD or SD
19 report any non-fatal errors.
20 - Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...)
23 - Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...)
26 - Added --enable-wx-console and updated Makefile.in
27 - Fix mtx-changer so that the calling sequence is compatible
28 with the previous version (the new one required arguments that
29 were not necessarily used).
30 - Document how to use stunnel with Bacula.
32 - Fix crash in query command.
33 - Remove schedule from the default restore job.
34 - Fix data spooler to use min/max tape blocking factors.
35 - Automatically turn of conio if library not found instead of bombing.
36 - Cleaned up a lot of copyright dates.
37 - Try to keep spool statistics from going negative.
38 - Integrated wx-console code from Nicolas Boichat.
40 - Added new Pools chapter. Doc about using two disks.
41 - Attempt to keep the spool file statistics size from going
44 - Fix the Director's Scheduled Jobs: list to have a ===
46 - Fixed ./configure to disable readline rather than stop if
47 readline.h is not found
48 - Fixed a typo in the SQLite database update script as reported
49 by Robert J. Clark - thanks.
51 - Removed src/win32/pthreads and src/win32/zlib from the source
53 - Created a new depkgs-win32 that has the pthreads and zlib source
55 - Removed the JobDefs from the default Restore job as it has a
56 schedule. Thanks to Matt Howard for this.
59 2004-04-06 Version 1.34.0 06Apr04 Release
61 - Turn off SIGQUIT in console.
63 - A good number of document updates.
64 - Fixed the order which multiple files are accepted for
65 inclusion in the restore tree due to the fact that PostgreSQL
66 returns files in a different order from their insertion.
68 - Fix autochanger test in btape. It used old editing routines.
69 - Fix run_program to return 0 if program runs and no output.
70 - Add more debug to run_program.
71 - Make signal debug print signal string.
73 - Build console with client-only build.
74 - Add better error messages to some of the db_xxx routines.
75 - Apply Christopher Hull's patches for proper Win32 shutdown.
76 - Eliminate True and False in favor of true and false.
77 - Put correct thread id in jcr once the correct thread is running.
78 - Zap head and tail pointers in dlist when everything is removed.
79 - Rework sm_dump() so that it won't overrun a buffer when editing
81 - Fix watchdog to properly remove entries while walking the
83 - Fix termination of last_jobs list by removing broken code.
85 - Update dbcheck to fix Paths without a trailing slash and Filenames
86 with a trailing slash.
88 - Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes
89 Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely
90 this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running
91 the daemon with this option in production.
92 - Tweaked the Makefile not to create the gnome directories except
93 when doing a gnome install.
95 - Implement Qmsg() queuing of messages to prevent recursion especially
96 for bnet.c where recursion is fatal.
97 - Add detection of ncurses if the termcap lib is not found.
98 - Tweak winabout -- start cleanup.
99 - Fix dlist again, when list is destroyed, be sure to null head and
102 - Make the default for restore to have nothing marked.
103 - The "all" keyword on the restore command marks everything by
105 - The "done" keyword on the restore command prevents user interaction
106 with the tree routines -- used mainly for scripting (regression ...).
107 - Correct a bug in the last_sibling code.
108 - Add alphabetic sorting of siblings so the "dir" and "ls" commands
109 during restore show files in alphabetic order.
111 - Based on Mike Acar's suggestions rework tree insert routines. Improve
112 performance by using a last_sibling link for inserts.
114 - Apply corrected SQL to sql_get.c supplied by Dan Langille.
115 - Implement "delete job jobid=xxx jobid=yyy ..."
116 - Implement "purge volume=xxx volume=yyy ..."
117 - Fix buffer overrun in query string substitution.
119 - Fix bad format %s instead of %d for editing new slot in update volume.
120 Reported by Vadim Zotov.
121 - Better error diagnostics in ./configure for detecting termcap library.
123 - Restore old sql.c split_path and file name since it seems to have
124 broken the Verify stuff.
126 - Hunt down missing free_locked_jcr() in SD that caused zombies.
127 - Modify status outputs to be more consistent for zombie checking.
128 - Add tests to regression script for zombie jobs.
129 - Set EIO in dev_errno for all error returns when bad data found. This
130 fixes ERR=Success messages.
131 - Make error messages all contain ERROR for easy regression testing.
132 - Add sanity check in DIR for VolFiles becoming smaller.
134 - Second cut GTK+ restore GUI. Ready for testing but much more to do.
135 - Phil reported an sql path length=0 message. This broke saves of
137 - Fixed seg fault in btape "test" due to missing allocation of dcr.
138 - Tweaked some btape messages.
139 - Sort Volume names in Job report according to the order they were
140 written -- user request.
142 - First cut GTK+ restore GUI.
143 - Applied bsmtp patch supplied by a user. Thanks.
144 - Made a new split_path_and_filename() subroutine -- in lib/scan.c
146 - Fix "typos" in RedHat install-autostart Makefile.in
148 - Added two tar files that Phil sent for adding slackware support.
149 Thanks Phil and Matt Howard.
150 - Fix relabel command -- || should have been &&.
151 - Correct once more the scheduling algorithm -- this time it should
154 - Implement simple spool statistics printed by "status sd".
155 - Cleanup/add spool error messages.
156 - On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly.
157 - Implement code to select a different Volume in the SD if the
158 current Volume is busy -- requested by Patrick Cole.
159 - Change postgreSQL make tables to use bigint instead of integer
160 for StartBlock and EndBlock because
161 there is no unsigned integer in postgreSQL and these fields use 32 bits.
162 - Implement multiple drive autochanger support -- prompted by email of
165 - Update version and date in Win32 build.
166 - Fix bug in run_conf with month range zapping wday and wom.
167 - Correct editing of port for PQsetdbLogin in postgresql.c as reported
168 by J. Conroy, and do a second try.
170 - Integrate Phil's Makefile patch.
171 - Add SpoolDirectory to SD Device resource.
172 - Add MaximumJobSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
173 - Add MaximumSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
174 - Implement the above.
175 - Make despooling lock the device so only it writes
176 to the device during despooling.
178 - Data spooling now passes the regression tests.
179 - Added "Files Expected" to the restore job report.
180 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Job resource
181 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Run overrides.
182 - Note, you must have a 1.33.4-09Mar05 SD or later with the Director since
183 the DIR->SD protocol has changed to support data spooling.
184 - Remove the confusing "Which DBMS do you want to use (please select only one):"
185 messages from ./configure.
186 - Fix broken Jmsg with missing argument in find_one.c
188 - Second cut data spooling code.
189 - Fix missing piece of yesterday's patch.
191 - Integrate patches supplied by Jason Conroy that fix Slot numbers
194 - This version contains a *major* addition to the SD structures.
195 Many variables have been moved out of the JCR into a new DCR
196 (Device Context Record). This required quite a few changes, and
197 introduced a bit of instability. In the end, after a few more
198 rounds of changes, the DCR will replace virtually all arguments
199 to the low level SD read/write routines. This change permits
200 (with a bit more code) the SD to write to multiple devices at
201 the same time for a single Job. It also facilitates adding the
203 - Added a patch that fixed the port specification for postgresql.
204 - Fixed findlib/find_one.c so that it will complain about backing
205 up a hard linked file twice, which makes a restore impossible.
206 - Tighten up permissions on pid file.
207 - Attempt to avoid warnings when casting 64 bit pointers to an
209 - Added skeleton code for data spooling.
210 - Make sure spooled attributes are discarded on error.
212 - Updated getdiskinfo in rescue/linux to handle the fact that the
213 sfdisk -s option now includes info on partitions. Also, before
214 creating the diskinfo files, clean out the old ones.
216 - Add debug and error output to jobq.c
217 - Fix some minor errors in debug output of scheduler.c
218 - Add "trace on/off" command and modify trace code in message.c
219 to work off trace flag rather than #defines.
221 - If console is found during install warn user (new name is bconsole).
222 - On install copy console.conf to bconsole.conf if it exists.
223 - Make RunAfterJob error non-fatal.
224 - Rework minor details in status output.
225 - Attempt to define all values for "consoles" in JCR to avoid
228 - Use net start bacula to start Bacula on WinXP/NT/2K
229 systems after installation.
230 - Change a few strcpy()s to bstrncpy()s in signal.
231 - Add "gui on/off" command to console to turn on gui mode,
232 which will adapt Bacula better to batch or gui programs.
233 Currently, it prevents commas from being inserted into
234 numbers in the list command.
235 - Tweak some of the Makefiles so that the install is done with
236 the right program (nothing really changed).
237 - Install logrotate in the "make autostart" of Bacula on RedHat.
238 - Implement SIGHUP while jobs are running. It *seems* to work but is
239 a bit fragile and still crashes if you push it. More work needed.
240 - Applied Phil's GNOME 1.4 patch. Very clean. Thanks Phil.
241 - Major updates to the native Win32 installer.
243 - Restructure free of conf resources to handle job_end_push()
244 and SIGHUP. Lots of changes little substance.
246 - Add mtimeonly=yes/no and keepatime=yes/no to Include list
248 - Allow no modifier in time and size specifications.
249 - Attempt to implement disk seeking. More work needed.
250 - Implement more in win32 installer and test it.
252 - Implement kb, mb, and gb modifiers for size, which mean
253 1,000 bytes, 1,000,000, ... bytes.
254 - Add Makefile to src/win32 to allow building the full
255 release -- it calls nmake where appropriate.
256 - Remove the rsi directory from win32 as suggested by Christopher
257 - Add Michel Meyers' nsi file to win32 and integrate it with
260 - Add the frigging _O_BINARY to the right variable. Win32 works!
261 - Add debug code to state file. There is a problem with Win32 read
262 returning one byte less than it should.
263 - Implement a number of new functions for alist so that it has
264 equivalent functionality to dlist. It will be used for
266 - More work on state file.
267 - Added a popup message box on Windows if Bacula Aborts.
268 - Attempt to shutdown the FD server, but doesn't work on Windows. This
269 would have given a cleaner shutdown, no problem.
272 - Attempt to fix state file on Win32 -- no luck.
273 - Add HPUX tweaks to configure.in
274 - Update quickstart and install.wml of doc.
275 - Eliminate extern int h_errno from bnet.c by including netdb.h
276 - Eliminate NumJobs from last_job structure so that FD and SD
277 correctly report what is in the state file.
279 - Implement daemon state file, and save/restore last_jobs list.
280 - Fix time routines in win32 compat.cpp
281 - Fix a bug of not checking the bpipe_open() status in do_shell_expansion().
283 - Add Volker's bacula script to the SuSE directory and convert it
285 - Make LockRes() and UnlockRes() use read/write locks and have
286 debug info to trace locking and unlocking.
287 - Begin work of implementing SIGHUP. It is now enabled for
288 the Director and works only if there are no jobs running,
289 in addition, if the new conf file is incorrect, it will
290 terminate Bacula. Much more work to be done. I've figured
291 out a scheme to implement it with running jobs without
292 adding individual semaphores or use counts.
293 - Sort "list jobs" by StartTime rather than JobId, which can
296 - Add a lot of "const" to char * arguments to keep the native
298 - Added first cut of message queuing to prevent recursion in
299 low level routines. This code is not yet working.
300 - Spent a *huge* amount of time looking at the tape driver
301 code in the wake of several reports of tape labels getting
302 trashed. The code looks fine.
303 - Created a tape with an error (by writing a block at the
304 beginning of a tape that had valid data), and found that
305 Under Linux there is no way to read past an I/O error.
306 I tried mt; I tried my own program (btape); and I tried
307 using scsitape, which talks directly to the scsi driver.
308 This is *VERY BAD* news.
309 - I spent an *enormous* amount of time enhancing the btape
310 test program as well as making the fill command work with
311 both one and two tapes and the autochanger if configured.
312 The multiple tape fill test is now quite comprehensive.
313 It checks the last block on the first tape, the first block
314 on the second tape, and the last block (11) on the second
316 - Teaked the tape driver for several functions to use the
317 OS driver's notion of mt_file if there is an error.
319 - Add DB update scripts retrieved by Scott to a new updatedb
320 directory at the top level.
321 - Add -p option to bcopy to allow ignoring errors on input.
322 - COALESCE(xx,0) does not work on PostgreSQL because the 0 is not a
323 correct time. Replaced by adding LastWritten IS NULL to the sort
324 line as was first suggested by JML.
326 - Use COALESCE(LastWritten, 0) in sql_find.c to get NULLs to sort last.
328 - Add write/read and positioning test to btape "test" program.
330 - Fix bad printf of InChanger flag reported by Pascal Pederiva.
331 - Fix bad indexing off stack in authenticate.c reported by
334 - Add \n to hosts.access reject message.
335 - Implement security message class and make hosts.access message use
338 - Fix check_memory bug in ua_query.c, which gives a bus error on Solaris.
339 This affected only the query command.
341 - Added backup to cdwriter script to examples provided by Johan Decock.
342 - Fixed a bug where ls really did lsmark (just invert command table
344 - Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name
345 by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under
346 it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller.
347 - Fix a deadlock situation in the new watchdog code where the
348 watchdog locks its semaphore, and attempts to lock the jcr_chain,
349 but another thread has locked the jcr_chain and wants to free a
350 watchdog, which tries to lock the watchdog semaphore -- deadlock!
351 Used read/write locks to solve the problem.
352 - Improved the error messages when I/O errors or buffer id errors
353 are detected, and prevent non-sense errors from being printed.
354 - Fix some incorrect messages in restore if no name is supplied
355 on the command line (e.g. pool= ).
356 - Add the third digit to the release version number.
358 - Add -l option to bls that causes it to ignore tape label errors.
360 - Correct problems with jobs scheduled at a later time by hand.
361 Missing unlock(), backward test on pthread_create status.
362 - Fix setip crash reported by Alan Brown.
363 - Create bacula.spec.in in SuSE directory from Scott.
364 - Fix missing unlock() in ua_status on access denial.
365 - Lots of little cleanups, improving jcr use_count debug printing.
366 - Add EMSG to mem_pool utilization statistics.
368 - New bacula.spec.in file from Scott
369 - Add Scott's spec file to the platforms/suse directory
370 - Modify configure.in to make platforms/suse/bacula.spec
371 - Do not allow a resource name to be specified twice.
373 2004-01-30 Version 1.33-30Jan04 Release
375 - Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without
376 opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive).
377 - Added Postgresql configure search libraries recommended by Alan Brown.
379 - Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the
380 arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly.
381 Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a
384 - I've noticed that the backups of Rufus, my development machine, can be
385 "stuck" for about 12 hours, then suddenly they run. In running the
386 debugger, I see that it was stuck on the select() statement waiting
387 for the Hello. Why this happens I am not sure. I re-organized the code
388 a bit because it didn't seem to be as robust as it could, but I cannot
390 - As a consequence of the above, I have implemented a new bsock timer that
391 can be started and stopped. This is based on Nic Bellamy's new watchdog
392 code. The timer is set with start_bsock_timer(bsock, timeout); If the
393 timeout expires, the bsock will be marked as timed_out and interrupted
394 with a pthread_kill() on the current thread.
395 - Added 5 minute bsock timers to all the opening Hello/authentication
396 exchanges between the various daemons.
398 - New spec file from Scott.
399 - New patch file from Scott for create_sqlite_database
400 - Fix crash in run command if invalid pool specified on the command line
401 and then the user cancels the Pool prompt.
402 - Separate Console and ConsoleFont resources in gnome2 conf files.
403 - Remove possibly bad ASSERTs from bnet.c
404 - Remove open() of device in dircmd.c, which fails on FreeBSD with
405 an autoloader -- thanks to Jesse Guardiani for this fix.
407 - Remove all "hostname -s" from configure except for RedHat. Use uname -n instead.
408 - Implement SetIP command.
409 - Implement Close On Poll in Device resource on SD.
410 - Implement Full, Inc, and Diff Pools.
411 - Implement Access control lists for Consoles.
413 - Define default working_dir as /var/bacula/working.
414 - Implement setip console command to set new IP address for a Client.
416 - Implement maximum network buffer size directives.
417 - Good first cut at access control lists for the console.
418 - Optimize restore to select only latest Differential backup after
419 the Full, and then all following Incremental backups. Previously
420 everything after Full was selected.
422 - Organize kernstodo a bit (more to be done).
423 - Add client IP address to BSOCK structure.
424 - Use bit fields where appropriate in BSOCK structure.
425 - Pass UAContext to ua authenticate in Director, and make it
426 set the appropriate console (or NULL for none).
427 - Tweak restore "run" argument handling and add "files" keyword.
428 - Add device name or Volume name to some SD messages.
430 - First cut multiple consoles.
433 - Add quit command to restore tree handler.
434 - Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and
435 in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link.
436 mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster.
437 - Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore.
438 - Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line
440 - Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of
442 - Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in
443 question and do not do a recursive descent.
444 - Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to
445 be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories
446 are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only
447 the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree.
448 - Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than
449 just taking the first one.
451 - Update copyright date on changed files.
452 - Make mark command in restore tree run *much* faster by accessing database only
453 if the file actually is hard linked -- determined at time tree it built by
454 keeping a has_link bit in the tree entry.
456 - Modify findlib/makepath.c to create all parent directories with full permissions.
457 This should solve the access problems on restoring files on Win32 systems.
458 - Modify restore to report **** Restore Error **** if any error are found.
459 I.e. a file could not be created.
460 - Change a few errors into warnings -- e.g. if permissions could not be set, but
461 the file is actually restored.
463 - Replace bsd_queue with dlist in lib/watchdog.c
464 - Add Date: header to bsmtp. Thanks to Meno Abels (abels) on SourceForge
466 - Remove ap==NULL check in src/lib/var.c as suggested by Christoph Barbian
467 because ap (va_list) is a struct on the Alpha, so the code does not
470 - Implement first cut of polling for a Volume. New Device directive
471 "Volume Poll Interval = xxx" where xxx is a time specification
472 (e.g. 5min). Default is off.
473 - Call pthread_cancel on SD msgchan only if the threadid is non-zero.
475 - Change RH autostart scripts to start in Dan's order.
477 2004-01-06 Version 1.33-06Jan04 Release
479 - Correct calculation of week of month in scheduler and in scheduled
482 - Fix cancel of job waiting on mount to be a bit cleaner.
484 - Fix seg fault -- don't close db in db_open_database(). It must explicitly
487 - Allow purge of a single JobId from a Volume (code untested)
488 - Implement fix to keep SD from looping complaining about the wrong volume
489 at the end of a tape -- reported by Phil, and fix confirmed by him. I cannot
490 seem to reproduce the bug here.
491 - Clean up a few more strcpy()s.
493 - Fix configure.in FD User print per Lars.
495 - New bacula.spec.in from Scott. Nice!
496 - Make RunAfterJob non-fatal if it errs since the Job has really
497 already completed the save.
498 - Replace sprintf with bsnprintf in message.c
500 - Note, this change affects only the Win32 FD.
501 - Fixed Win32 FD crash due to missing argument in status command. It
502 always crashed if there was a job that had previously run. Thanks to
503 Christopher Hull for finding and diagnosing this problem.
505 - Fix SELECT as indicated by Dan in sql_get.c for returning Volume names.
506 - Fix last_jobs list crash for utility programs (btape, ...).
507 - Correct editing of FileSet name into SQL command.
508 - Allow calling watchdog stop without initialization for utility programs.
509 - Enhance btape test by attempting to forward space past the end of the tape.
510 - Detect CAP_FASTFSF in btape test as possible reason for failure.
511 - Attempt to prevent infinite loops in fsf_dev() if device not properly
513 - Attempt to get correct file number on tape after backspacing at EOM. The
514 correction should resolve differences in OS tape driver implementations.
515 - Add ctl-c detection to bconsole. When reading from tty, interrupts any
516 output from Bacula, when reading from a file, it terminates the reading
517 and returns possibly exiting if it is a batch job.
518 - Create devel_bacula.in script and make it configure itself. Very similar
519 to the new bacula.in.
520 - Modify bacula.in to have separate file locations for each daemon -- makes
521 it easier to make a new devel_bacula.in when there are changes.
522 - Remove old config files when rebuilding configure to avoid error msgs.
523 - Fix btape "test" to respect TWO EOF.
524 - Fix fsf_dev() to use system notion of file if it is valid after bsf_dev().
525 - Move btraceback.gdb to scripts directory on installl.
526 - Add new mandrake bacula.spec.in
528 - Find commonset of c_iflags that work with FreeBSD tcsetattr on terminals.
529 - Remove comments from string concatenation -- doesn't work on FreeBSD
531 - Moderately improve bpipe_close() errors. Must rethink status return.
532 - Eliminate some Emsgs in favor of Jmsgs.
534 - Add optional Pool keyword on restore command line. If specified, the pool
535 used will be restricted to the specified pool.
536 - "Finish" implementation of JobDefs.
537 - Fix directory for chmod of cats scripts.
539 - Implement foreach_res() #define and start replacing old code.
540 - Work some more on jobdefs -- more to be done.
541 - Implement bstrftime_nc() bstrftime with no century.
542 - Fix static console problem in gnome2 and gnome directories reported by Alan
544 - Add code to test for valid Resource Names. Permitted characters are now
545 alpha, numeric, colon, period, minus, underscore, space.
546 - Turnoff some unused code in timers.c
547 - Start adding code to dev.c to prevent infinite loops if fast forward space
548 file (MTFSF) is configured on but not properly supported by OS.
550 - Sort FileSet selection list by CreateTime.
551 - Add "lsmark", and "estimate" to tree routines.
552 - Doing a mark or unmark now prints how many entries were changed.
553 - Add command argument parsing to btape.c
554 - Enhance EOT to print file:block on message.
555 - Add repeat counts on btape bsf, fsf, bsr, fsr, and weof commands.
556 - Enhance btape's fill command to be much clearer and more reliable.
557 - Add state file to btape so that unfill command can be done any time
558 after a fill command.
559 - Use reposition_dev() to position for read back of last block.

1083 - Removed bindtextdomain() as it conflicted with RH8.0 headers
1084 - Fixed parse_args to pass address of POOLMEM struct.
1085 - Constrain FileIndexes written to BSR to be within range of Volume.
1086 - Suppress writing volumes to BSR if they are not actually referenced.
1087 - Make FOPTS use alist for match and base entries.
1088 - Pass prefix_links to SD.
1089 - Add command line interface to most items in "update volume=xxx"
1090 - Add command line interface to restore "jobid", "current", "before", "all".
1091 - Add command line "yes" to run command to supress prompt.
1092 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
1093 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
1094 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
1095 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
1097 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
1099 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
1100 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
1101 for bscan to work correctly.
1102 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
1104 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
1105 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
1106 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
1107 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
1108 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
1109 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
1111 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
1112 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
1113 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.
1114 - Make file_index int32_t everywhere.
1115 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
1116 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
1117 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
1118 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
1119 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
1120 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
1121 dependencies of sscanf().
1122 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
1123 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
1124 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
1125 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
1126 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
1127 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
1129 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
1130 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
1131 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
1132 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
1133 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
1134 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
1135 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
1137 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
1138 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
1139 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
1140 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
1141 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
1142 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
1143 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
1144 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
1145 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
1146 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
1147 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
1148 there is no working pthread_kill().
1149 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
1150 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
1151 volumes. Now fixed and working!
1152 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
1153 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
1154 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
1155 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
1156 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
1157 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
1158 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
1159 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
1160 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
1161 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
1162 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
1164 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
1165 - Complete Counter resource.
1166 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
1168 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
1169 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
1170 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
1171 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).
1172 - Implement Counter resource.
1173 - Cleanup examples/kernsconfig
1174 - Implement restore to a specific date.
1175 - Fixed a but in automatic labeling (and use durations expiring) analysed
1176 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
1177 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
1178 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
1179 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
1180 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
1181 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
1182 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
1183 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
1186 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
1187 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
1188 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
1189 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
1191 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
1192 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
1193 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
1194 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
1195 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
1196 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
1197 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
1198 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
1200 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
1201 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
1202 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
1203 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
1204 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
1205 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
1206 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
1207 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
1208 - implemented is_stream_supported().
1209 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
1210 - add mtime_only code.
1211 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
1212 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
1213 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
1214 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
1215 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
1216 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
1217 and it is now common for all readers.
1218 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
1219 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
1220 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
1222 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
1223 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
1224 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
1225 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
1226 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
1227 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
1228 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
1229 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
1231 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
1232 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
1233 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
1234 into Pool record on create/updated.
1235 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
1236 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
1237 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
1238 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
1239 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
1240 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
1241 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
1242 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
1243 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
1244 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
1245 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
1246 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
1247 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
1248 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
1249 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
1250 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
1252 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
1253 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
1254 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
1255 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
1256 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
1258 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
1259 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
1260 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
1262 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
1263 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
1264 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
1265 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
1266 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
1267 by overloading the global operators.
1268 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
1269 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
1271 - Started using "bool" where possible.
1272 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
1273 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
1274 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
1276 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
1277 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
1278 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
1279 - Incremented the database version.
1280 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
1282 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
1283 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
1284 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
1285 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
1286 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
1287 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
1288 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
1289 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
1290 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
1291 - Clean up a few error messages.
1292 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
1293 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
1294 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
1295 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
1296 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
1297 numbers are properly written.
1298 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
1299 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
1300 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
1301 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
1302 in a later version).
1303 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
1304 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
1305 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
1306 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
1307 messages are immediately displayed.
1308 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
1309 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
1310 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
1311 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
1312 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
1313 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
1314 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
1315 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
1316 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
1317 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
1319 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
1320 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
1321 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
1322 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
1323 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
1324 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
1325 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
1327 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
1328 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
1330 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
1331 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
1332 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
1333 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
1334 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
1335 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
1336 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
1338 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
1340 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
1341 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
1342 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
1343 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
1345 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
1346 - Add mandrake to platforms
1347 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
1348 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
1349 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
1350 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
1351 - Echo input read from a script in Console.
1352 - Clarify error message for VerifyToCatalog
1353 - Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
1354 - Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
1355 - Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
1356 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
1357 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
1358 as reported by Phil.
1359 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
1360 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
1361 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
1362 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
1363 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
1364 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
1365 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
1366 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
1367 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
1368 - Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
1369 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
1370 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
1371 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
1372 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
1373 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
1374 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
1375 must implement new streams in SD.
1376 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
1377 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
1379 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
1380 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
1381 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
1382 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
1383 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
1384 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
1385 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
1386 - Add platform files for BSDI.
1387 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
1388 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
1389 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
1390 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
1391 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
1392 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
1393 - Begin adding Level = Base.
1394 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
1395 - Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
1396 - Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.
1397 - New bacula.spec from Scott
1398 - Add globals for database name and version and print them in traceback.
1399 - Eliminate SubSysDirectory in each daemon conf file.
1400 - Implement get_yesno() and get_pint() in UA.
1401 - Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
1402 - Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
1403 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
1404 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
1405 - A number of minor code cleanups.
1406 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.
1407 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
1408 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
1409 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
1411 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
1412 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
1413 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
1414 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
1415 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
1416 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
1418 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
1419 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
1420 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
1421 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
1422 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
1423 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
1424 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
1426 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
1427 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
1428 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
1429 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
1430 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
1431 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
1432 any possible confusion.
1433 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
1434 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
1435 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
1436 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
1437 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
1438 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
1439 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
1440 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
1441 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
1442 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
1443 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
1445 - First cut label dialog.
1446 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
1447 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
1448 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
1449 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
1450 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
1451 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
1452 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
1453 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
1454 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
1455 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
1456 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
1457 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
1458 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
1459 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
1460 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
1461 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
1462 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
1463 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
1464 implement individual Console authorization).
1466 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
1467 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
1468 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
1469 be immediately terminated in all cases.
1470 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
1471 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
1472 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
1473 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
1474 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
1475 - Implement When for "run" command.
1476 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
1478 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
1479 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
1480 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
1481 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
1482 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
1483 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
1484 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
1485 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
1486 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
1487 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
1488 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
1490 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
1491 in the console rather than in the Director.
1492 input - read input from a file
1493 output - write output to file
1494 tee - tee output to file and terminal
1495 time - print current time
1496 version - print current version
1499 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
1500 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
1501 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
1502 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
1504 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
1505 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
1506 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
1508 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
1509 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
1510 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
1511 - Lots of documentation of new features.
1512 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
1513 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
1514 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
1515 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
1516 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
1517 saving right away without a tape drive.
1518 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
1519 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
1520 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
1521 are implemented in the Director.
1522 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
1523 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
1524 This includes files moved or copied.
1525 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
1526 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
1527 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
1528 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
1529 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
1530 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
1531 - label barcodes now works.
1532 - Implemented "update slots".
1533 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
1534 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
1535 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
1536 - More work on barcodes.
1537 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
1538 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
1539 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
1540 anything but return the list to the Director.
1541 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
1542 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
1543 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
1544 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
1545 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
1546 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
1547 instead of horizontally.
1548 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
1549 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
1550 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
1551 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
1552 - Lots of new documentation.
1553 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
1554 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
1555 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
1556 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
1557 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
1558 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
1559 - Update client every time a job is run.
1560 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
1561 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
1562 - Release new depkgs
1563 - Release new winbacula.
1564 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
1565 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
1566 Device is requested.
1567 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
1568 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
1569 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
1571 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
1572 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
1573 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
1574 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
1575 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
1576 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
1577 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
1578 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
1579 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
1580 to be able to append.
1581 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
1582 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
1583 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
1584 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
1585 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
1586 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
1587 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
1588 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
1589 certain autochangers.
1590 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
1591 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
1592 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
1593 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
1594 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
1595 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
1597 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
1599 - Final cygwin tweaks.
1600 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
1601 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
1602 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
1603 dealing with bad input.
1604 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
1605 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
1606 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
1607 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
1608 of signal and counting the waiters.
1609 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
1610 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
1611 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
1612 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
1613 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
1614 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
1615 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
1616 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
1617 variables during recycling.
1618 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
1619 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
1620 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
1621 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
1622 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
1623 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
1625 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
1626 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
1627 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
1628 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
1629 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
1630 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
1631 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
1632 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
1633 callers want a new Volume name.
1634 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
1635 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
1636 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
1638 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
1639 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
1641 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
1642 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
1643 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
1644 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
1646 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
1647 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
1648 client not available.
1649 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
1650 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
1652 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
1653 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
1654 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
1655 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
1656 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
1657 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
1658 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
1660 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
1661 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
1662 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
1663 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
1664 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
1665 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
1666 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
1667 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
1669 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
1670 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
1672 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
1673 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
1674 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
1675 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
1676 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
1677 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
1678 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
1679 - Second cut of FileOptions.
1680 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
1681 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
1682 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
1683 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
1684 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
1685 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
1686 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
1687 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
1688 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
1689 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
1690 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
1691 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
1692 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
1693 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
1694 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
1695 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
1696 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
1697 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
1698 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
1699 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
1700 - All changing Pool in console run command.
1701 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
1702 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
1703 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
1704 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
1705 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
1706 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
1707 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
1708 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
1709 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
1710 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
1711 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
1712 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
1713 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
1714 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
1715 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
1716 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
1717 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
1718 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
1719 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
1721 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
1722 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
1723 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
1724 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
1725 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
1727 =============================================================================
1728 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
1730 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
1733 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
1734 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
1735 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
1736 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
1737 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
1738 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
1739 but at least dumps will work).
1741 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
1742 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
1743 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
1744 - Added pthread btimer routines.
1745 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
1746 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
1747 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
1748 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
1750 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
1751 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
1753 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
1754 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
1755 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
1756 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
1757 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
1758 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
1759 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
1761 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
1762 add empty buffer flag).
1764 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
1765 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
1766 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
1769 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
1770 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
1771 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
1772 exactly the same structure.
1773 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
1774 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
1775 of cleanup in message.c
1776 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
1777 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
1778 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
1779 order will be correct.
1780 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
1781 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
1782 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
1783 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
1784 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
1785 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
1786 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
1787 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
1788 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
1789 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
1790 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
1791 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
1792 after the current time -- slow process ...
1794 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
1795 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
1796 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
1798 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
1799 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
1800 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
1801 debugger always works -- we will see.
1802 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
1804 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
1806 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
1807 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
1808 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
1809 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
1810 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
1811 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
1812 jobs finished correctly.
1813 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
1814 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
1815 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
1816 print the full path name.
1817 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
1818 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
1819 duplicate filenames or paths.
1821 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
1822 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
1823 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
1825 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
1826 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
1827 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
1828 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
1829 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
1830 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
1832 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
1833 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
1834 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
1835 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
1836 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
1837 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
1838 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
1841 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
1842 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
1844 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
1845 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
1848 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
1849 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
1850 - Made | and < work.
1851 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
1852 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
1855 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
1856 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
1858 =============================================================================
1859 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
1860 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
1861 reported by James MacLean.
1862 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
1863 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
1864 James MacLean for reporting this.
1866 =============================================================================
1867 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
1868 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
1870 =============================================================================
1871 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
1873 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
1874 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
1875 it as the development goes on.
1876 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
1877 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
1878 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
1879 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
1880 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
1881 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
1884 Changes submitted this submission:
1886 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
1888 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
1889 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
1890 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
1891 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
1893 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
1894 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
1895 splitting path from file).
1897 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
1898 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
1899 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
1901 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
1902 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
1903 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
1905 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
1906 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
1907 handle shorts and long longs.
1909 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
1910 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
1911 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
1912 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
1913 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
1916 - Added more rescue documentation.
1917 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
1918 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
1919 configuration file as the default.
1921 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
1922 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
1925 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
1926 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
1927 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
1928 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
1930 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
1931 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
1932 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
1933 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
1934 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
1936 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
1937 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
1938 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
1939 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
1940 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
1942 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
1943 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
1944 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
1945 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
1947 - Started adding FileOptions ...
1948 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
1949 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
1950 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
1951 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
1952 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
1953 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
1954 block before writing and upon read back.
1955 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
1956 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
1957 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
1958 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
1959 static versions of the daemons.
1961 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
1962 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
1963 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
1964 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
1965 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
1966 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
1967 to help guide the user.
1968 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
1970 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
1971 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
1972 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
1973 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
1975 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
1976 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
1977 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
1979 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
1980 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
1981 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
1982 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
1983 in the restore Console command.
1984 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
1985 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
1986 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
1987 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
1989 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
1991 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
1992 new lib/edit.c file.
1994 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
1995 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
1996 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
1997 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
1998 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
2000 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
2001 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
2002 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
2003 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
2007 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
2008 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
2009 This code is untested.
2010 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
2011 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
2012 as well as getting info from them.
2013 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
2015 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
2016 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
2017 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
2019 - Improved error messages in smtp.
2021 =============================================================================
2022 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
2023 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
2024 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
2026 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
2027 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
2028 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
2030 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
2031 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
2033 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
2034 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
2036 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
2038 General: from kes25Nov02
2039 - Mostly Cygwin changes
2041 Changes submitted this submission:
2042 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
2043 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
2044 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
2045 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
2046 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
2047 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
2048 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
2049 - Build testfind as default.
2050 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
2052 General: from kes21Nov02
2053 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
2054 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
2055 the src/cats directory.
2057 Changes submitted this submission:
2058 - Additional documentation.
2059 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
2060 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
2061 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
2062 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
2063 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
2064 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
2065 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
2066 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
2067 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
2068 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
2069 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
2070 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
2071 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
2072 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
2073 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
2074 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
2075 the SQL noted above.
2076 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
2077 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
2078 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
2079 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
2080 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
2081 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
2083 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
2085 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
2086 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
2087 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
2088 - Add Pool attribute query
2089 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
2090 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
2092 General: from kes18Nov02
2093 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
2094 and prevent buffer overflows.
2096 Changes submitted this submission:
2097 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
2098 jobs get the correct address.
2099 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
2100 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
2101 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
2102 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
2103 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
2105 General: from kes13Nov02
2106 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
2107 ./alter_mysql_tables
2109 ./alter_sqlite_tables
2110 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
2111 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
2113 Changes submitted this submission:
2114 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
2115 when a tape can be marked Used.
2116 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
2117 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
2118 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
2119 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
2120 database. Incremented db version.
2121 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
2122 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
2123 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
2124 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
2125 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
2126 it for MySQL. What a pain!
2127 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
2128 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
2130 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
2131 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
2133 General: from kes09Nov02
2134 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
2135 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
2136 as well as a standard page size.
2137 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
2138 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
2139 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
2140 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
2142 Changes submitted this submission:
2143 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
2144 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
2146 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
2147 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
2149 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
2150 -i option. I have not tested it.
2152 General: from kes30Oct02
2153 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
2154 - bacula stript fixes.
2155 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
2156 - Added openbsd to platforms
2158 Changes submitted this submission:
2159 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
2160 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
2161 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
2162 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
2163 testing was missing.
2164 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
2165 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
2166 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
2167 confusing for the user, but ...
2168 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
2169 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
2171 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
2172 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
2173 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
2174 where the Director seg faulted.
2176 General: from kes29Oct02
2177 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
2179 Changes submitted this submission:
2180 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
2181 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
2182 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
2183 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
2185 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
2186 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
2187 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
2188 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
2189 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
2190 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
2191 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
2192 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
2193 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
2195 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
2197 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
2198 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
2199 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
2200 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
2201 it was a network error.
2202 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
2203 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
2204 console.exe to the release.
2205 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
2206 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
2207 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
2209 General: from kes23Oct02
2210 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
2211 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
2213 - Trademarked name Bacula.
2214 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
2215 will be maintained forever.
2216 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
2219 Changes submitted this submission:
2220 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
2221 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
2222 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
2224 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
2225 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
2226 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
2227 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
2229 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
2230 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
2231 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
2232 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
2233 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
2234 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
2235 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
2236 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
2237 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
2238 This replaces previous floating point times.
2239 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
2240 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
2241 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
2242 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
2243 in the pool to be mounted.
2244 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
2245 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
2246 for it to be enabled.
2247 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
2249 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
2250 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
2251 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
2252 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
2253 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
2254 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
2255 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
2257 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
2258 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
2261 =============================================================================
2262 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
2263 General: from kes10Oct02
2264 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
2265 character on Windows.
2267 Changes submitted this submission:
2268 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
2269 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
2270 - Documentation on GZIP.
2271 - Another restore doc example.
2272 - Documented btape fill command.
2273 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
2274 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
2275 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
2276 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
2277 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
2278 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
2279 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
2280 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
2281 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
2282 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
2283 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
2284 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
2285 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
2286 routines that create files do not print error messages.
2287 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
2288 Currently the following bits are not handled:
2292 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
2294 General: from kes09Oct02
2295 - More documentation.
2296 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
2297 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
2300 Changes submitted this submission:
2301 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
2302 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
2303 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
2304 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
2305 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
2306 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
2307 This will always be zero if no software compression was
2308 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
2309 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
2310 the termination status represents the state of all three
2312 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
2313 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
2316 General: From kes06Oct02
2317 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
2318 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
2319 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
2320 jobs to a File volume.
2321 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
2323 Changes submitted this submission:
2325 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
2326 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
2327 is currently turned off.
2328 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
2330 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
2331 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
2332 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
2333 ./drop_bacula_tables.
2334 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
2335 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
2336 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
2337 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
2338 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
2339 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
2340 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
2341 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
2342 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
2343 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
2345 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
2346 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
2347 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
2348 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
2350 General: From kes25Sep02
2351 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
2354 Changes submitted this submission:
2355 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
2356 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
2357 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
2358 a user -- thank you.
2359 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
2360 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
2361 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
2362 from which you can do a restore.
2363 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
2364 by an explicit ranlib call.
2365 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
2366 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
2367 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
2368 be listed as "Unknown type".
2369 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
2371 General: From kes14Sep02
2372 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
2373 - 64 bit file address support if available.
2374 - Implement autochanger for reading
2375 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
2376 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
2378 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
2379 - Begin implementation of a regression script
2380 - Write bootstrap after ever job
2382 Changes submitted this submission:
2383 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
2384 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
2385 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
2387 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
2388 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
2389 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
2390 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
2391 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
2393 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
2394 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
2395 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
2397 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
2398 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
2399 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
2400 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
2401 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
2403 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
2404 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
2405 acquire_device_for_read()
2406 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
2410 - Fix Volume in bsr.
2411 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
2413 =============================================================================
2414 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
2415 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
2416 will always read the currently mounted tape.
2418 =============================================================================
2419 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
2421 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
2422 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
2423 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
2425 Changes submitted this submission:
2426 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
2428 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
2429 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
2430 for Verify but not really errors.
2433 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
2435 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
2436 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
2437 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
2438 were not properly restored.
2442 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
2443 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
2444 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
2445 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
2446 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
2447 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
2448 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
2449 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
2450 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
2451 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
2452 any restore Job. Arrggg!
2453 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
2454 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
2455 FD not required, but recommended.
2457 Changes submitted this submission:
2458 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
2459 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
2460 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
2461 feedback from users. Thanks.
2462 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
2464 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
2465 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
2466 messages from within the Database subroutines.
2467 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
2468 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
2469 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
2470 of network errors from within the network code.
2471 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
2472 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
2473 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
2474 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
2475 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
2476 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
2477 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
2478 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
2479 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
2480 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
2481 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
2482 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
2483 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
2484 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
2486 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
2487 the restore command.
2488 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
2489 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
2490 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
2491 been done -- thanks Chuck.
2492 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
2493 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
2494 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
2495 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
2496 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
2497 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
2498 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
2499 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
2500 reading them back much easier.
2501 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
2503 =============================================================================
2504 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
2506 - Made a new tools directory.
2507 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
2508 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
2509 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
2510 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
2511 on binaries that actually need it.
2512 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
2513 - Move testfind to tools directory.
2514 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
2515 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
2516 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
2517 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
2518 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
2520 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
2521 listing of the file/directory name.
2522 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
2523 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
2524 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
2525 FileSets, ask user to select one.
2526 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
2527 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
2530 - Made restore actually work.
2531 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
2533 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
2534 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
2535 line arguments. Fixed!
2536 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
2537 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
2538 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
2539 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
2540 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
2541 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
2543 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
2544 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
2545 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
2546 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
2547 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
2548 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
2551 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
2552 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
2553 new read-write lock code.
2554 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
2555 using the rwl_xxx routines.
2556 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
2557 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
2558 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
2559 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
2560 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
2561 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
2562 to the default definition of char.
2563 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
2565 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
2566 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
2567 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
2568 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
2569 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
2570 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
2571 arguments for created run command in restore.
2572 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
2573 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
2574 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
2576 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
2577 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
2578 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
2581 - Did a good amount of documentation.
2582 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
2583 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
2584 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
2585 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
2586 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
2587 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
2588 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
2589 - Increase the sleep time.
2590 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
2591 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
2593 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
2594 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
2595 two or more volumes.
2598 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
2599 - Lots of work on the restore command.
2600 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
2601 when the console program prematurely terminates.
2602 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
2603 them all in the same thread.
2604 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
2605 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
2606 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
2607 on interdaemon communications.
2608 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
2609 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
2610 properly terminated.
2611 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
2615 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
2616 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
2617 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
2618 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
2619 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
2620 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
2621 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
2622 This will permit splitting depkgs.
2623 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
2624 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
2625 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
2626 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
2627 Is dequoting needed?
2628 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
2629 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
2630 but does not produce a dump.
2631 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
2632 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
2633 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
2634 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
2636 ===========================================================================
2637 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
2638 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
2639 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
2641 ===========================================================================
2642 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
2644 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
2645 (still works with older MySQLs).
2646 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
2647 - Added kernstodo to CVS
2648 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
2649 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
2650 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
2651 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
2654 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
2657 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
2658 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
2659 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
2660 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
2661 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
2662 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
2663 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
2664 improve performance.
2665 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
2666 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
2667 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
2668 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
2669 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
2670 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
2671 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
2672 ensure that the door is unlocked.
2673 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
2674 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
2675 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
2676 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
2678 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
2679 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
2681 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
2682 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
2684 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
2685 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
2686 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
2689 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
2691 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
2692 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
2693 is finished with the Job.
2694 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
2695 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
2696 the tape prior to freeing it.
2697 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
2698 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
2699 This permits running an external program with the following editing
2703 %d = Director's name
2712 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
2713 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
2714 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
2716 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
2717 - Currently the changer commands used are:
2718 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
2719 load -- loads a specified slot
2720 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
2721 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
2722 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
2723 slots -- returns total number of slots
2724 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
2725 resource, permits editing of:
2727 %a = archive device name
2728 %c = changer device name
2735 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
2736 specified in the SD Device resource.
2739 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
2740 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
2741 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
2742 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
2743 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
2744 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
2745 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
2746 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
2747 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
2748 to a Console selection request.
2749 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
2750 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
2751 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
2752 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
2753 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
2754 box after history replacement.
2755 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
2756 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
2757 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
2758 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
2759 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
2760 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
2761 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
2762 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
2763 of terminating the Job.
2764 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
2766 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
2770 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
2771 - A fair amount of documentation.
2772 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
2773 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
2774 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
2775 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
2776 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
2777 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
2779 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
2780 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
2781 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
2782 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
2783 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
2784 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
2785 database that you are using.
2786 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
2787 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
2788 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
2789 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
2790 routines even with DEBUG off.
2791 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
2792 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
2793 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
2794 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
2795 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
2796 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
2797 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
2798 handling of errors with minimum code.
2799 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
2800 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
2801 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
2802 resource is part of the Pool resource.
2803 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
2804 yet create a DB record.
2805 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
2807 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
2808 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
2809 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
2811 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
2812 backup and verify volume.
2813 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
2814 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
2815 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
2816 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
2817 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
2818 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
2819 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
2820 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
2821 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
2822 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
2823 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
2824 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
2825 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
2826 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
2827 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
2828 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
2830 ===========================================================================
2831 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
2832 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
2833 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
2834 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
2835 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
2836 will go away in a future release.
2837 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
2838 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
2839 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
2842 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
2843 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
2844 order they appear in the config file.
2845 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
2846 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
2847 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
2848 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
2849 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
2850 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
2851 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
2852 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
2853 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
2854 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
2855 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
2856 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
2857 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
2858 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
2860 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
2861 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
2862 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
2863 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
2866 - Additional documentation.
2867 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
2868 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
2869 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
2870 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
2871 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
2872 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
2877 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
2878 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
2880 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
2881 segment fault on Solaris.
2882 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
2885 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
2886 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
2889 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
2890 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
2891 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
2893 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
2894 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
2895 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
2896 the caller to specify what he wants.
2897 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
2898 and name scanning to lex.
2899 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
2901 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
2902 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
2905 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
2906 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
2907 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
2908 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
2909 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
2910 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
2911 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
2912 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
2913 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
2914 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
2916 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
2917 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
2918 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
2919 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
2920 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
2921 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
2922 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
2924 ===========================================================================
2925 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
2926 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
2927 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
2928 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
2929 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
2930 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
2931 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
2932 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
2933 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
2934 recovery with no database.
2935 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
2936 in your config files.
2937 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
2941 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
2942 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
2943 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
2944 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
2945 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
2947 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
2948 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
2949 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
2950 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
2951 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
2953 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
2954 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
2955 statements per command.
2956 - Implemented three new "query" options:
2957 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
2958 List Volumes used by selected JobId
2959 List Volumes to Restore All Files
2960 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
2961 select the one you want.
2962 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
2963 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
2966 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
2967 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
2968 it with a pthreads mutex.
2969 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
2970 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
2971 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
2972 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
2973 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
2974 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
2981 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
2982 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
2983 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
2984 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
2985 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
2986 add data in the new format to old tapes.
2987 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
2988 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
2989 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
2990 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
2991 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
2992 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
2993 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
2995 ===========================================================================
2996 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
2997 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
2998 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
2999 - Fixed the query command bug.
3000 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
3001 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
3002 points to a working directory.
3003 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
3004 permits a core dump.
3005 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
3006 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
3007 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
3009 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
3010 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
3011 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
3012 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
3013 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
3014 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
3015 potential source of errors.
3016 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
3017 to the Schedule Run record.
3018 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
3019 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
3020 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
3021 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
3022 earlier code reorganization.
3023 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
3024 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
3025 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
3026 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
3027 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
3028 keep around legacy code.
3029 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
3030 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
3031 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
3032 by turning off autopruning.
3033 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
3034 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
3035 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
3036 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
3037 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
3038 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
3039 it forces the specified pruning.
3040 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
3042 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
3043 in place of P() and V().
3044 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
3046 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
3047 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
3048 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
3049 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
3050 calls the UA prune routines.
3051 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
3052 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
3053 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
3054 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
3055 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
3056 daemons if they listen on different ports.
3057 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
3058 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
3059 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
3060 it should be its own typedef.
3061 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
3062 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
3063 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
3064 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
3065 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
3066 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
3067 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
3068 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
3069 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
3070 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
3072 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
3073 the number of Files pruned in the message.
3074 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
3075 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
3076 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
3079 ===========================================================================
3080 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
3081 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
3082 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
3083 commands documented.
3084 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
3085 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
3086 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
3087 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
3088 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
3089 due to a bug in MySQL.
3090 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
3091 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
3092 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
3093 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
3094 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
3095 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
3096 Bug reported by Phil.
3097 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
3098 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
3099 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
3100 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
3101 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
3102 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
3103 older gcc compilers.
3104 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
3105 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
3106 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
3107 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
3108 in UserAgent server.
3109 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
3110 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
3111 - Delete unused code from backup.c
3112 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
3113 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
3114 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
3115 This dummy value should never be printed.
3116 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
3117 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
3118 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
3120 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
3121 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
3122 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
3124 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
3125 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
3126 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
3127 new btime_t definition.
3128 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
3129 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
3130 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
3131 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
3132 descriptive of what is done.
3133 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
3134 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
3135 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
3136 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
3137 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
3138 - Additional config options for Console.
3139 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
3140 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
3141 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
3142 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
3143 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
3144 to modify Media table.
3145 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
3146 message if the make ends in error.
3147 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
3148 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
3149 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
3150 all associated records in the database.
3151 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
3152 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
3153 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
3154 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
3155 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
3156 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
3157 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
3158 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
3159 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
3160 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
3162 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
3163 kept in ua and jcr structures).
3164 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
3165 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
3166 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
3167 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
3168 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
3169 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
3170 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
3171 - Make console accept redirected input.
3172 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
3173 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
3174 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
3175 - Use JobId_t in more places.
3176 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
3177 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
3178 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
3179 future changes in the database. This should prevent
3180 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
3181 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
3182 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
3183 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
3184 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
3185 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
3186 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
3187 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
3188 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
3189 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
3190 - Purge Volume now works.
3191 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
3192 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
3193 More work to be done to search for termcap.
3194 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
3195 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
3196 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
3197 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
3198 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
3199 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
3200 not have the ALTER SQL command.
3201 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
3202 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
3203 This value is used when doing pruning.
3204 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
3205 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
3206 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
3207 retention period changes.
3208 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
3209 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
3211 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
3212 message resources. Much more work to be done.
3213 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
3215 ===========================================================================
3216 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
3217 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
3218 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
3219 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
3220 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
3221 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
3222 due to a bug in MySQL.
3223 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
3224 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
3225 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
3226 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
3227 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
3228 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
3229 Bug reported by Phil.
3230 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
3231 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
3232 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
3233 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
3235 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
3236 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
3237 older gcc compilers.
3238 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
3241 ===========================================================================
3242 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
3243 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
3245 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
3246 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
3247 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
3248 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
3249 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
3250 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
3251 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
3252 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
3253 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
3254 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
3255 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
3256 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
3257 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
3258 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
3259 broke the restore code.
3260 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
3261 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
3262 variable block sizes.
3263 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
3264 (at least on DAT tapes).
3265 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
3266 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
3268 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
3270 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
3271 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
3272 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
3273 prototype problem for C++.
3275 ===========================================================================
3276 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
3277 - Many intervening changes/updates.
3279 2001-09-29 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
3280 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
3281 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
3283 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
3284 - Helped John install at his site.
3285 He is backing up one Linux machine and
3286 one Win2000 machine.
3288 2001-mm-dd Many releases
3289 - Released internally.
3291 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
3292 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
3293 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
3294 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
3295 remains a lot to do.
3296 - The file search code is now integrated into the
3297 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
3298 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
3299 all the database records are being created, though
3300 there still remains some work in getting all the
3301 details into the records (such as the Storage
3303 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
3304 - I've defined error message handling though no code
3306 - The following resources and records are implemented
3307 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
3310 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
3313 Password (not yet used)
3315 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
3319 Backup (only one permitted)
3322 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
3325 Include (options ignored)
3326 Exclude (no options)
3331 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
3334 Address, Port, Password (not used)
3337 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
3339 - Added Storage configuration routines.
3341 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
3343 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
3346 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
3347 Archive Device (defines device name)
3350 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
3351 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
3352 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
3353 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
3354 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
3355 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
3356 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
3357 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
3359 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
3360 implement it in the daemons.
3361 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
3362 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
3363 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
3366 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
3367 - Integrated John's fixes.
3368 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
3369 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
3370 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
3371 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
3373 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
3374 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
3375 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
3377 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
3378 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
