118 Submitted by Ben Vitale.
120 - Fix syntax error in make_mysql_tables.in pointed out by Scott.
122 - Add a kludge to detect bad date/times, which cause a seg fault in
123 Microsoft's version of localtime_r(). So, now we know that Microsoft
124 programmers do not check return codes!
125 - Minor update to web site (new projects page).
126 - Remove bigint for filenameid from postgresql table -- as demonstrated
127 by Martin, it has negative performance repercussions.
128 - Rework getuser() and getgroup() to avoid any possible race condition

166 code -- dumb me for removing it.
170 - Create patches/README and the patch summary file.
171 - Use different share mode when opening files on WinMe/98/95 since
172 SHARE_DELETE is not implemented on those systems.
173 - In new syntax Includes, pass *all* files through the acceptance
174 filter so that no error messages will be printed for files that

188 - Fix Storage overrides in Run directive
189 - Fix seg fault in AlertCommand
190 - Fix btape "test" and "fill" commands to work with new SD
191 data structures. There are still problems ...
193 - Correct buffer length passed to inet_ntop() in address_conf.c
194 - Increase the debug level of a lot of messages to reduce the
196 - Modify how ST_APPEND is handled so that nothing is written
197 to the Volume if it is not set. It is now set only when
198 the Volume label is verified, and released when the volume
199 is released. This required a number of minor but rather
200 critical and fundamental changes.
201 - Improve quickly terminating a job in the SD when it errs.
202 More status checking and a few additional checks on
203 job_canceled() and check more error return statuses.
204 - Added a number of debug statements (to be removed later) that
205 check the VolCatName for a name.
206 - Create a single subroutine that handles terminating writing
207 on a Volume at the end of the volume (or after an error).
208 - Continued to add use of the berrno classs for strerror().
210 - Apply conio patches supplied by Peter Eriksson for configure.in
211 conio.h and conio.c to make it work better on Solaris.
212 - Make run_grub print manual procedure for installing grub
213 - Add extra setsockopt keepalive.
214 - Add code to set as many options as possible in the system
215 tape driver for different OSes.
217 - Apply Peter Eriksson's patch to configure.in fixes finding
218 correct libs on Solaris to link conio -- bug 121
219 - Add expected number of files to Verify VolumeToCatalog, and
220 if it does not equal the examined files, fail the job.
222 - Modify the depend section of each Makefile.in to reference $(CXX)
223 instead of $(CC) -- bug 118
224 - Remove the word "restore" from the Volumes needed message in
225 dird/bsr.c since the message is used for Restore and Verify.
226 - Fix initialization and copying of the storage resource when
227 starting jobs (and in jobq.c when restarting). In some cases
228 jcr->store was not set causing a segfault -- bug 116
231 - Pass EndFile and EndBlock to SD.
233 - Fixed bscan to close() drive between tapes.
234 - Turn on transactions for SQLite and PostgreSQL if
235 multiple connections are turned on.
236 - Removed stripping of filename in ua_tree insertion routine.
237 - Fix split_path_and_filename() routines to return zero length
239 - Modify update_tables scripts to convert a single blank filename
240 into an empty filename.
241 - Incremented the release number because this version requires
242 an update to the database.
245 ./update_bacula_tables
246 to update an existing database.
247 - Implemented EndFile and EndBlock in the Media record. This will
248 allow Bacula to know exactly when to stop reading a tape if the
249 stupid tape driver does not give a logical end of tape indication
250 and Bacula writes to the end of the tape getting an I/O error.
251 - Added new routines to update the database, and there are
252 new database creation routines to add the two new Media columns.
253 - The Media record is updated each time a JobMedia record is created.
254 This keeps the Media record up to date.
255 - Undid the code to use automatic type converions to char * in
256 POOL_MEM. This is due to the ugly consequences of essentially
257 destroying the class type nature of the class.
258 - Removed all the old mp_char() #define code.
262 - Add additional doc.
263 - Implement automatic POOL_MEM type conversion to char *. Thanks
264 to Martin Simmons for the suggestion.
265 - Remove some unneeded function overloading -- need removed by
266 automatic type conversion.
268 - Correct segfault in message.c with debug=200 (new code).
269 - Fix bug 109 verify with no options prints garbage.
270 - Add ioctl(MTIOCGET) call to clrerror_dev() in dev.c. As reported
271 by Frank Kardel, this should clear error conditions on NetBSD.
273 - Modify the rescue script to create mount_drives with
274 the order specified by Philip Nash (mkdir, mount).
275 - Tweak install chapter of French manual to add new paragraph
277 - Tweak restore tree message to be a bit clearer.
278 - Modify watchdog to wakeup after 60 seconds, or wakeup if
280 - Modify watchdog stop routine to "ping" watchdog so that it
281 stops immediately rather than after sleep time.
282 - Fix btape to use new dcr blocks rather than its own.
283 - Fix butil.c to correctly handle Volume names for the
284 utility routines (broke when updating to dcrs).
285 11-19Sep04 (vacation)
286 - Implement multiple Storage specifications in the Job resource
287 (AND) each containing multiple specifications (OR). Not yet functional.
288 Note, this needs more work as most things now use
289 job->storage[0]->first() rather than looping through devices.
290 - Implement "Multiple connections = yes/no" in Catalog record for
291 allowing multiple simultaneous connections to the database.
292 - Add new mac.c (Migrate, Archive, Copy) to dird -- not yet implemented.
293 - Implement a new POOL_MEM class that automatically allocates
294 and deallocates a pool buffer.
295 - Overload a number of utility routines to permit using both
296 POOLMEM and POOL_MEM.
297 - Start converting to using POOL_MEM.
298 - There were a number of Bacula console ACL checks missing in
299 ua_run.c. It allowed users to run jobs they really should not.
300 - Correct a number of dates on the Copyright.
301 - Overload pm_strcpy() and pm_strcat() to handle new POOL_MEM
303 - Overload bash/unbash_spaces to handle new POOL_MEM class.
304 - Make a *MASSIVE* pass through the Storage daemon eliminating
305 all use of jcr->VolumeName and jcr->VolCatInfo in favor of
307 - Eliminate all all redundant arguments from calling sequences
308 in SD. This poses a number of problems due to the old way blocks
309 and records were allocated and released all the time. They are
310 now contained in the dcr. The problem is that old habits die hard
311 and there are still places where everything is not right.
312 - Implement "Block positioning = yes/no" in Device resource in SD.
316 - Add "Multiple Connections = yes/no" in catalog record. Only
317 the variable is implemented, no code yet.
318 - Close *all* FD unless debug on.
320 - Add first cut of UTF-8 support to conio. It "seems" to be working
321 pretty well. Moving by words will definitely not work though.
322 - Improve detection and setting of gateway in the
323 network_start script.
325 - Modify scan code so that in most places scanning will
326 continue across the end of a line.
328 - Begin major phase of 1.35 documentation.
329 - All outstanding bugs are fixed.
330 - Implement changes and improvements to rescue scripts as
333 - Add correction to Phil's previous patch.
334 - Send all queued messages in SD and FD prior to closing down
336 - Send queued messages in Jobs before terminating the job
337 so that the messages print before the job report.
338 - Add a destructor so that the Console ACLs are properly
341 - Implement isolinux boot disk.
342 - Integrate Phil Stracchino's code (thanks for Matt's help).
343 It permits lists and ranges of jobids on the delete as in:
344 delete job jobid=1,3,5,11-16
346 - Apply Mike Acar's suggestion when looking for the next volume
347 to check purged volumes for recycling before doing a purge.
348 - Make some improvements to CDROM disk.
349 - Take another crack at ignoring drive open() errors during
352 - Add eliminate orphaned job records; eliminate admin records,
353 and eliminate restore records to dbcheck.
354 - replace sprintf by bsnprintf() in dbcheck.
355 - Added scan target to makefile in rescue cd to print scsi
357 - Added argument to berrno::strerror() to pass errno.
358 - Cleaned up a few more old strerror() calls and eliminated a
359 few of the now unnecessary set_errno() calls.
360 - Fixed a bug in the polling code that prevented more than 100
361 label reads (insanity check disabled if polling).
362 - Ignore bad return from open_device() if polling.
363 - Short circuit code if fatal error return from read_label() in
366 - Add index file to JobId field of File records for PostgreSQL.
367 - Correct several bugs in the job queue scheduler concerning
368 rescheduled jobs: 1. The SD status was not cleared causing a
369 wrong status to be displayed by Dir after rescheduling. 2. All
370 rescheduled jobs became zombies because the jcr use_count was
371 not decremented properly.
372 - Make the Catalog resource required in Client records.
373 - Order the listing of where a file is (item 2 on the restore
375 - Clarify when a filename only and a full path + filename must
376 be entered in items 2 and 8 of the restore menu.
377 - Fix logic error in resolution of names on IPv4 systems.
379 Changes to 1.35.2 released 01Sep04:
381 - Inhibit printing of FileSet for a restore as it is misleading.
382 - Cleaned up a number of minor scripting problems with the CDROM
384 - Fixed a race condition causing a Director crash on termination,
385 if a large number of SIGHUPs were sent during a multiple concurrent
388 - Completed integration of Rescue CD scripts with Bacula source.
390 - Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
391 - Added more error checking to the spooling code.
393 - Applied a patch from Peter Eriksson that removes a dynamic stack
394 allocation (replaced by alloca) and fixes some const problems.
395 - Fixed a free() of a static variable in the new IP code bnet.c
396 - Got the new Bacula Rescue CDROM booting.
397 - Replaced a dynamic template by a simple store when using the
399 - Reworked some of the block.c error handling.
400 - Changed a Dmsgx(000, to Dmsgx(100 in dev.c that was dumping
401 debug output on a user.
402 - Integrated patch from 1.34.6 block.c to 1.35
404 - Fix conio.c problem on Solaris.
405 - Add debug code to lock_jcr_chain().
406 - Lock jcr chain around less code.
407 - Implement call by reference for Mmsg() and pm_strxxx() to
409 - New IP address specification is used as follows:
410 [sdaddresses|diraddresses|fdaddresses] = { [[ip|ipv4|ipv6] = {
411 [[addr|port] = [^ ]+[\n;]+] }] }
413 so it could look for example like this:
414 SDaddresses = { ip = {
415 addr = 1.2.3.4; port = 1205; }
417 addr = 1.2.3.4; port = http; }
430 addr = 2001:220:222::2
433 addr = bluedot.thun.net
436 as a consequence, you can now specify multiple IP addresses and
437 ports to be used. In the case of a server, it will listen on
438 all those that you specify. In the case of connecting to the server,
439 Bacula will attempt connecting to one at a time until it succeeds.
440 And, in a few other special cases, Bacula will use only the first
443 The default port numbers are still the same and the services and hosts
444 are also resolved by name. So now you could use the real names for the
449 - Print error message if Alert Command fails in bpipe_open().
451 - Eliminate unnecessary class in findlib/attribs.c
452 - Add necessary empty files to new tray-monitor directory.
454 - Implement Class with template in findlib/attribs.c to do casting
455 of uint64_t into stat packet types to avoid compiler warnings.

468 - Started implementing New() for dlists. Spent a lot of time,
469 but could not get it to work.
470 - Fixed a mutex deadlock between the job queue scheduler and the
472 - Made add_address() static.
473 - Added bsnprintf to address_conf.c
475 - Apply Marin Simmons patch to inet_aton() in compat.
477 - Build on Win32 -- required a few changes because of new IP code.
478 - Implement program reader code in Dir and FD -- not tested, and
479 a few corrections for writer code are needed in FD.
480 - Rework SQL for pruning. Add Admin pruning. Prune failed
481 jobs in Verify and Restore.
482 - Don't put commas in listing produced in restore so that users
483 can cut and past JobIds without having commas in the way.
484 - Change size_t to socklen_t in filed.c -- reindent a bit.

538 - Add more bools to dev.c
539 - Fix walking attached DCRs in bscan.c
542 - Start work on rescue files. Integrated RAID changes.
543 - Print a message when query.sql moved to query.sql.old during install.
544 - Move setting of FreeBSD chflags() to after utime() to avoid error
545 messages is immutable bit is set.
547 - Turn off heartbeat in FD when -s is given so that we can
548 debug without a flood of signals.
549 - Close and reopen the device during an append test in

564 - Many more DCR changes.
565 - Add job message indicating that the job has been rescheduled
567 - Fix job end time so that it is always updated. Previously it
568 was not updated when a job was rescheduled.
569 - Correct SQL for restoring job by path/name. It could sometimes
570 pickup the wrong JobId -- submitted by a user.
571 - Add a number of "%s" in editing database errors -- security issue.
572 - Ensure that the NumVols is incremented and decremented in the
573 pool record when Volumes are created or deleted.
574 - Cleanup error handling when labeling a tape. If vol was read-only,
575 the device would still be marked as having found a label.
577 - Put ftCreationTime into st_ctime of stat packet. Hopefully
578 this will fix the problem of noticing files have been moved
579 into the save path after a Full save.
580 - Fix bug in "status dir" where not all entries are listed.
581 - Cleanup some improper result printing in configure.
582 - Optimize a couple of insertions in binary_insert of dlists.

616 - Fixed an off by one bug in the new resources pointer code.
617 res_head array was one too small.
618 - Added Errors to last_job list. This allows detecting jobs
619 that terminated in a warning.
620 - Implement setting the Win32 icon to yellow instead of red
621 when the job terminated OK but with warnings.

633 - Start putting all DB ids on #defines (going to 64 bits).
634 - Fix gnome-console Makefile.in to work again.

643 need for cats library).
644 - Modify spooling code to handle write error (e.g. spooling disk full)
645 more gracefully. Previously despooling would fail.
647 - Reduce casting in smartall.c a bit and add counters for
648 bytes, max_bytes, buffers and max_buffers.
649 - Fixed reload algorithm to stack both job end callback and the
651 - Fixed the orphaned buffer after reload (job_end_push had to be

662 printed (due to JobMedia records).
663 - Add new query: List jobs on Volume given Volume name.
664 - Correct socket close on Win32 in bnet.c (in addition to compat.cpp).
665 Caused fd leak in Win32 for each connection.
666 - Remove vol labeled test in askdir update_volume_info so that non-labeled
667 Volume in catalog can be marked in error.
668 - Close socket in SD when connection rejected. Caused fd leaks.
669 - Initialize job_start_wait cond variable after every new_jcr() otherwise
670 NetBSD gets error in library when trying to delete it without being inited.
671 - Fix typo (9 instead of 0) return status in write_new_volume_label.
672 - Fix mount.c to call routine that correctly marks a volume in error.

691 - Applied the patches sent by Andreas Jellinghaus: build Gnome and
692 wx-console in client-only build if configured; add ./configure option
693 to permit setting of sbin modes -- default is 0745 as before; remove
694 cats library from Gnome console build; remove old version from Gnome
695 About box. Thanks Andreas.
697 - Applied Peter Eriksson's const changes to the source code. Thanks Peter.
698 - Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used
699 in the restore tree routines.
700 - Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which
701 are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit
702 behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*.

856 - In testing for Mike Acar's problem. I *finally* found and nailed
857 the mount command that did not release a waiting job. The return
858 of a stolen lock forgot to broadcast.
859 - In examining Mike Acar's problems, it appears that the Bacula
860 block size is not always set to a multiple of 1024. I've modified

904 - Fixed a major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple
905 simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had
906 blocked another because of resource usage. This caused a deadlock
907 and CPU usage. Reported by Michel Meyers.
908 - Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings
909 if any warning messages were generated.
910 - Change output of restore report to indicate:

950 schedule. Thanks to Matt Howard for this.
953 2004-04-06 Version 1.34.0 06Apr04 Release
955 - Turn off SIGQUIT in console.
957 - A good number of document updates.
958 - Fixed the order which multiple files are accepted for
959 inclusion in the restore tree due to the fact that PostgreSQL
960 returns files in a different order from their insertion.
962 - Fix autochanger test in btape. It used old editing routines.
963 - Fix run_program to return 0 if program runs and no output.
964 - Add more debug to run_program.

979 - Update dbcheck to fix Paths without a trailing slash and Filenames
980 with a trailing slash.
982 - Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes
983 Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely
984 this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running
985 the daemon with this option in production.
986 - Tweaked the Makefile not to create the gnome directories except
987 when doing a gnome install.
989 - Implement Qmsg() queuing of messages to prevent recursion especially

997 - The "all" keyword on the restore command marks everything by
999 - The "done" keyword on the restore command prevents user interaction
1000 with the tree routines -- used mainly for scripting (regression ...).
1001 - Correct a bug in the last_sibling code.
1002 - Add alphabetic sorting of siblings so the "dir" and "ls" commands
1003 during restore show files in alphabetic order.
1005 - Based on Mike Acar's suggestions rework tree insert routines. Improve
1006 performance by using a last_sibling link for inserts.

1021 - Modify status outputs to be more consistent for zombie checking.
1022 - Add tests to regression script for zombie jobs.

1026 - Add sanity check in DIR for VolFiles becoming smaller.
1028 - Second cut GTK+ restore GUI. Ready for testing but much more to do.

1042 - Added two tar files that Phil sent for adding slackware support.
1043 Thanks Phil and Matt Howard.
1044 - Fix relabel command -- || should have been &&.
1045 - Correct once more the scheduling algorithm -- this time it should
1048 - Implement simple spool statistics printed by "status sd".
1049 - Cleanup/add spool error messages.
1050 - On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly.
1051 - Implement code to select a different Volume in the SD if the
1052 current Volume is busy -- requested by Patrick Cole.
1053 - Change postgreSQL make tables to use bigint instead of integer
1054 for StartBlock and EndBlock because
1055 there is no unsigned integer in postgreSQL and these fields use 32 bits.
1056 - Implement multiple drive autochanger support -- prompted by email of
1059 - Update version and date in Win32 build.
1060 - Fix bug in run_conf with month range zapping wday and wom.
1061 - Correct editing of port for PQsetdbLogin in postgresql.c as reported
1062 by J. Conroy, and do a second try.

1066 - Add MaximumJobSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
1067 - Add MaximumSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
1068 - Implement the above.
1069 - Make despooling lock the device so only it writes
1070 to the device during despooling.
1072 - Data spooling now passes the regression tests.
1073 - Added "Files Expected" to the restore job report.
1074 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Job resource
1075 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Run overrides.
1076 - Note, you must have a 1.33.4-09Mar05 SD or later with the Director since
1077 the DIR->SD protocol has changed to support data spooling.
1078 - Remove the confusing "Which DBMS do you want to use (please select only one):"
1079 messages from ./configure.
1080 - Fix broken Jmsg with missing argument in find_one.c
1082 - Second cut data spooling code.
1083 - Fix missing piece of yesterday's patch.
1085 - Integrate patches supplied by Jason Conroy that fix Slot numbers
1088 - This version contains a *major* addition to the SD structures.
1089 Many variables have been moved out of the JCR into a new DCR
1090 (Device Context Record). This required quite a few changes, and
1091 introduced a bit of instability. In the end, after a few more
1092 rounds of changes, the DCR will replace virtually all arguments
1093 to the low level SD read/write routines. This change permits
1094 (with a bit more code) the SD to write to multiple devices at
1095 the same time for a single Job. It also facilitates adding the
1097 - Added a patch that fixed the port specification for postgresql.
1098 - Fixed findlib/find_one.c so that it will complain about backing
1099 up a hard linked file twice, which makes a restore impossible.

1103 - Added skeleton code for data spooling.
1104 - Make sure spooled attributes are discarded on error.

1107 sfdisk -s option now includes info on partitions. Also, before
1108 creating the diskinfo files, clean out the old ones.
1110 - Add debug and error output to jobq.c
1111 - Fix some minor errors in debug output of scheduler.c
1112 - Add "trace on/off" command and modify trace code in message.c
1113 to work off trace flag rather than #defines.
1115 - If console is found during install warn user (new name is bconsole).
1116 - On install copy console.conf to bconsole.conf if it exists.
1117 - Make RunAfterJob error non-fatal.
1118 - Rework minor details in status output.
1119 - Attempt to define all values for "consoles" in JCR to avoid
1122 - Use net start bacula to start Bacula on WinXP/NT/2K
1123 systems after installation.
1124 - Change a few strcpy()s to bstrncpy()s in signal.
1125 - Add "gui on/off" command to console to turn on gui mode,
1126 which will adapt Bacula better to batch or gui programs.
1127 Currently, it prevents commas from being inserted into
1128 numbers in the list command.
1129 - Tweak some of the Makefiles so that the install is done with
1130 the right program (nothing really changed).
1131 - Install logrotate in the "make autostart" of Bacula on RedHat.
1132 - Implement SIGHUP while jobs are running. It *seems* to work but is
1133 a bit fragile and still crashes if you push it. More work needed.
1134 - Applied Phil's GNOME 1.4 patch. Very clean. Thanks Phil.
1135 - Major updates to the native Win32 installer.
1137 - Restructure free of conf resources to handle job_end_push()
1138 and SIGHUP. Lots of changes little substance.
1140 - Add mtimeonly=yes/no and keepatime=yes/no to Include list
1142 - Allow no modifier in time and size specifications.
1143 - Attempt to implement disk seeking. More work needed.
1144 - Implement more in win32 installer and test it.
1146 - Implement kb, mb, and gb modifiers for size, which mean
1147 1,000 bytes, 1,000,000, ... bytes.
1148 - Add Makefile to src/win32 to allow building the full
1149 release -- it calls nmake where appropriate.
1150 - Remove the rsi directory from win32 as suggested by Christopher
1151 - Add Michel Meyers' nsi file to win32 and integrate it with
1154 - Add the frigging _O_BINARY to the right variable. Win32 works!
1155 - Add debug code to state file. There is a problem with Win32 read
1156 returning one byte less than it should.
1157 - Implement a number of new functions for alist so that it has
1158 equivalent functionality to dlist. It will be used for
1160 - More work on state file.
1161 - Added a popup message box on Windows if Bacula Aborts.
1162 - Attempt to shutdown the FD server, but doesn't work on Windows. This
1163 would have given a cleaner shutdown, no problem.
1166 - Attempt to fix state file on Win32 -- no luck.
1167 - Add HPUX tweaks to configure.in
1168 - Update quickstart and install.wml of doc.

1171 correctly report what is in the state file.
1173 - Implement daemon state file, and save/restore last_jobs list.
1174 - Fix time routines in win32 compat.cpp
1175 - Fix a bug of not checking the bpipe_open() status in do_shell_expansion().
1177 - Add Volker's bacula script to the SuSE directory and convert it
1179 - Make LockRes() and UnlockRes() use read/write locks and have
1180 debug info to trace locking and unlocking.
1181 - Begin work of implementing SIGHUP. It is now enabled for
1182 the Director and works only if there are no jobs running,
1183 in addition, if the new conf file is incorrect, it will
1184 terminate Bacula. Much more work to be done. I've figured
1185 out a scheme to implement it with running jobs without
1186 adding individual semaphores or use counts.
1187 - Sort "list jobs" by StartTime rather than JobId, which can
1190 - Add a lot of "const" to char * arguments to keep the native
1192 - Added first cut of message queuing to prevent recursion in
1193 low level routines. This code is not yet working.
1194 - Spent a *huge* amount of time looking at the tape driver
1195 code in the wake of several reports of tape labels getting
1196 trashed. The code looks fine.
1197 - Created a tape with an error (by writing a block at the
1198 beginning of a tape that had valid data), and found that
1199 Under Linux there is no way to read past an I/O error.
1200 I tried mt; I tried my own program (btape); and I tried
1201 using scsitape, which talks directly to the scsi driver.
1202 This is *VERY BAD* news.
1203 - I spent an *enormous* amount of time enhancing the btape
1204 test program as well as making the fill command work with
1205 both one and two tapes and the autochanger if configured.
1206 The multiple tape fill test is now quite comprehensive.
1207 It checks the last block on the first tape, the first block
1208 on the second tape, and the last block (11) on the second
1210 - Teaked the tape driver for several functions to use the
1211 OS driver's notion of mt_file if there is an error.
1213 - Add DB update scripts retrieved by Scott to a new updatedb
1214 directory at the top level.
1215 - Add -p option to bcopy to allow ignoring errors on input.
1216 - COALESCE(xx,0) does not work on PostgreSQL because the 0 is not a
1217 correct time. Replaced by adding LastWritten IS NULL to the sort
1218 line as was first suggested by JML.
1220 - Use COALESCE(LastWritten, 0) in sql_find.c to get NULLs to sort last.
1222 - Add write/read and positioning test to btape "test" program.
1224 - Fix bad printf of InChanger flag reported by Pascal Pederiva.
1225 - Fix bad indexing off stack in authenticate.c reported by
1228 - Add \n to hosts.access reject message.
1229 - Implement security message class and make hosts.access message use
1232 - Fix check_memory bug in ua_query.c, which gives a bus error on Solaris.
1233 This affected only the query command.
1235 - Added backup to cdwriter script to examples provided by Johan Decock.
1236 - Fixed a bug where ls really did lsmark (just invert command table
1238 - Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name
1239 by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under
1240 it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller.
1241 - Fix a deadlock situation in the new watchdog code where the
1242 watchdog locks its semaphore, and attempts to lock the jcr_chain,
1243 but another thread has locked the jcr_chain and wants to free a
1244 watchdog, which tries to lock the watchdog semaphore -- deadlock!
1245 Used read/write locks to solve the problem.
1246 - Improved the error messages when I/O errors or buffer id errors
1247 are detected, and prevent non-sense errors from being printed.
1248 - Fix some incorrect messages in restore if no name is supplied
1249 on the command line (e.g. pool= ).
1250 - Add the third digit to the release version number.
1252 - Add -l option to bls that causes it to ignore tape label errors.
1254 - Correct problems with jobs scheduled at a later time by hand.
1255 Missing unlock(), backward test on pthread_create status.
1256 - Fix setip crash reported by Alan Brown.
1257 - Create bacula.spec.in in SuSE directory from Scott.
1258 - Fix missing unlock() in ua_status on access denial.
1259 - Lots of little cleanups, improving jcr use_count debug printing.
1260 - Add EMSG to mem_pool utilization statistics.
1262 - New bacula.spec.in file from Scott
1263 - Add Scott's spec file to the platforms/suse directory
1264 - Modify configure.in to make platforms/suse/bacula.spec
1265 - Do not allow a resource name to be specified twice.
1267 2004-01-30 Version 1.33-30Jan04 Release
1269 - Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without
1270 opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive).
1271 - Added Postgresql configure search libraries recommended by Alan Brown.
1273 - Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the
1274 arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly.
1275 Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a
1278 - I've noticed that the backups of Rufus, my development machine, can be
1279 "stuck" for about 12 hours, then suddenly they run. In running the
1280 debugger, I see that it was stuck on the select() statement waiting
1281 for the Hello. Why this happens I am not sure. I re-organized the code
1282 a bit because it didn't seem to be as robust as it could, but I cannot
1283 explain the problem.
1284 - As a consequence of the above, I have implemented a new bsock timer that
1285 can be started and stopped. This is based on Nic Bellamy's new watchdog
1286 code. The timer is set with start_bsock_timer(bsock, timeout); If the
1287 timeout expires, the bsock will be marked as timed_out and interrupted
1288 with a pthread_kill() on the current thread.
1289 - Added 5 minute bsock timers to all the opening Hello/authentication
1290 exchanges between the various daemons.
1292 - New spec file from Scott.
1293 - New patch file from Scott for create_sqlite_database
1294 - Fix crash in run command if invalid pool specified on the command line
1295 and then the user cancels the Pool prompt.
1296 - Separate Console and ConsoleFont resources in gnome2 conf files.
1297 - Remove possibly bad ASSERTs from bnet.c
1298 - Remove open() of device in dircmd.c, which fails on FreeBSD with
1299 an autoloader -- thanks to Jesse Guardiani for this fix.
1301 - Remove all "hostname -s" from configure except for RedHat. Use uname -n instead.
1302 - Implement SetIP command.
1303 - Implement Close On Poll in Device resource on SD.
1304 - Implement Full, Inc, and Diff Pools.
1305 - Implement Access control lists for Consoles.
1307 - Define default working_dir as /var/bacula/working.
1308 - Implement setip console command to set new IP address for a Client.
1310 - Implement maximum network buffer size directives.
1311 - Good first cut at access control lists for the console.
1312 - Optimize restore to select only latest Differential backup after
1313 the Full, and then all following Incremental backups. Previously
1314 everything after Full was selected.
1316 - Organize kernstodo a bit (more to be done).
1317 - Add client IP address to BSOCK structure.
1318 - Use bit fields where appropriate in BSOCK structure.
1319 - Pass UAContext to ua authenticate in Director, and make it
1320 set the appropriate console (or NULL for none).
1321 - Tweak restore "run" argument handling and add "files" keyword.
1322 - Add device name or Volume name to some SD messages.
1324 - First cut multiple consoles.
1327 - Add quit command to restore tree handler.
1328 - Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and
1329 in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link.
1330 mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster.
1331 - Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore.
1332 - Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line
1334 - Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of
1336 - Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in
1337 question and do not do a recursive descent.
1338 - Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to
1339 be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories
1340 are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only
1341 the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree.
1342 - Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than
1343 just taking the first one.
1345 - Update copyright date on changed files.
1346 - Make mark command in restore tree run *much* faster by accessing database only
1347 if the file actually is hard linked -- determined at time tree it built by
1348 keeping a has_link bit in the tree entry.
1350 - Modify findlib/makepath.c to create all parent directories with full permissions.
1351 This should solve the access problems on restoring files on Win32 systems.
1352 - Modify restore to report **** Restore Error **** if any error are found.
1353 I.e. a file could not be created.
1354 - Change a few errors into warnings -- e.g. if permissions could not be set, but
1355 the file is actually restored.
1357 - Replace bsd_queue with dlist in lib/watchdog.c
1358 - Add Date: header to bsmtp. Thanks to Meno Abels (abels) on SourceForge
1360 - Remove ap==NULL check in src/lib/var.c as suggested by Christoph Barbian
1361 because ap (va_list) is a struct on the Alpha, so the code does not
1364 - Implement first cut of polling for a Volume. New Device directive
1365 "Volume Poll Interval = xxx" where xxx is a time specification
1366 (e.g. 5min). Default is off.
1367 - Call pthread_cancel on SD msgchan only if the threadid is non-zero.
1369 - Change RH autostart scripts to start in Dan's order.
1371 2004-01-06 Version 1.33-06Jan04 Release
1373 - Correct calculation of week of month in scheduler and in scheduled
1376 - Fix cancel of job waiting on mount to be a bit cleaner.
1378 - Fix seg fault -- don't close db in db_open_database(). It must explicitly
1381 - Allow purge of a single JobId from a Volume (code untested)
1382 - Implement fix to keep SD from looping complaining about the wrong volume
1383 at the end of a tape -- reported by Phil, and fix confirmed by him. I cannot
1384 seem to reproduce the bug here.
1385 - Clean up a few more strcpy()s.
1387 - Fix configure.in FD User print per Lars.
1389 - New bacula.spec.in from Scott. Nice!
1390 - Make RunAfterJob non-fatal if it errs since the Job has really
1391 already completed the save.
1392 - Replace sprintf with bsnprintf in message.c
1394 - Note, this change affects only the Win32 FD.
1395 - Fixed Win32 FD crash due to missing argument in status command. It
1396 always crashed if there was a job that had previously run. Thanks to
1397 Christopher Hull for finding and diagnosing this problem.
1399 - Fix SELECT as indicated by Dan in sql_get.c for returning Volume names.
1400 - Fix last_jobs list crash for utility programs (btape, ...).
1401 - Correct editing of FileSet name into SQL command.
1402 - Allow calling watchdog stop without initialization for utility programs.
1403 - Enhance btape test by attempting to forward space past the end of the tape.
1404 - Detect CAP_FASTFSF in btape test as possible reason for failure.
1405 - Attempt to prevent infinite loops in fsf_dev() if device not properly
1407 - Attempt to get correct file number on tape after backspacing at EOM. The
1408 correction should resolve differences in OS tape driver implementations.
1409 - Add ctl-c detection to bconsole. When reading from tty, interrupts any
1410 output from Bacula, when reading from a file, it terminates the reading
1411 and returns possibly exiting if it is a batch job.
1412 - Create devel_bacula.in script and make it configure itself. Very similar
1413 to the new bacula.in.
1414 - Modify bacula.in to have separate file locations for each daemon -- makes
1415 it easier to make a new devel_bacula.in when there are changes.
1416 - Remove old config files when rebuilding configure to avoid error msgs.
1417 - Fix btape "test" to respect TWO EOF.
1418 - Fix fsf_dev() to use system notion of file if it is valid after bsf_dev().
1419 - Move btraceback.gdb to scripts directory on installl.
1420 - Add new mandrake bacula.spec.in
1422 - Find commonset of c_iflags that work with FreeBSD tcsetattr on terminals.
1423 - Remove comments from string concatenation -- doesn't work on FreeBSD
1425 - Moderately improve bpipe_close() errors. Must rethink status return.
1426 - Eliminate some Emsgs in favor of Jmsgs.
1428 - Add optional Pool keyword on restore command line. If specified, the pool
1429 used will be restricted to the specified pool.
1430 - "Finish" implementation of JobDefs.
1431 - Fix directory for chmod of cats scripts.
1433 - Implement foreach_res() #define and start replacing old code.
1434 - Work some more on jobdefs -- more to be done.
1435 - Implement bstrftime_nc() bstrftime with no century.
1436 - Fix static console problem in gnome2 and gnome directories reported by Alan
1438 - Add code to test for valid Resource Names. Permitted characters are now
1439 alpha, numeric, colon, period, minus, underscore, space.
1440 - Turnoff some unused code in timers.c
1441 - Start adding code to dev.c to prevent infinite loops if fast forward space
1442 file (MTFSF) is configured on but not properly supported by OS.
1444 - Sort FileSet selection list by CreateTime.
1445 - Add "lsmark", and "estimate" to tree routines.
1446 - Doing a mark or unmark now prints how many entries were changed.
1447 - Add command argument parsing to btape.c
1448 - Enhance EOT to print file:block on message.
1449 - Add repeat counts on btape bsf, fsf, bsr, fsr, and weof commands.
1450 - Enhance btape's fill command to be much clearer and more reliable.
1451 - Add state file to btape so that unfill command can be done any time
1452 after a fill command.
1453 - Use reposition_dev() to position for read back of last block.
1455 - Zap InChanger flag only if setting Slot to non-zero.
1456 - Added new SD directive TwoEOF, default off, that tells Bacula whether
1457 to write one or two EOFs for EOM. For the OnStream driver it must
1458 be off, otherwise an empty file will be created.
1459 - Cleaned up the btape "fill" command to compare the last block written
1460 and read rather than just printing them.
1462 - Implement btape test for autochanger.
1463 - Implement btape test for Fast Forward Space File.
1464 - Moved up to cygwin 1.5.5-1
1465 - Implemented Fast Forward Space File
1467 - Add support for selecting volumes from InChanger list first, then
1468 selecting from all available volumes.
1469 - Ensure that Volumes are selected from oldest LastWritten data/time.
1470 - A couple of bug fixes ensuring the proper ordering of volumes.
1472 - Return oldest LastWritten for find_next_volume.
1473 - Remove ASSERT from stored/acquire.c that could trip when it shouldn't.
1474 - Enhance SD status if debug_level > 1 to show details of dev status.
1476 - Create update_bacula_tables, ... scripts and modify configure and Makefiles
1477 - Eliminate is_num() and use is_an_integer().
1478 - Add user slot selection code "slots=1,2-3,5,10, ..."
1479 - Start daemons at level 90 rather than 20 so that MySQL will already
1481 - Write alter_mysql_tables.in and alter_sqlite_tables.in
1482 - Add Drive and InChanger to Media record.
1483 - Update database level to 7.
1484 - Add db_make_inchanger_unique() and call it when creating and updating

1487 - Allow changing InChanger flag in update command.
1488 - First cut at allowing the user to specify slots for updating autochanger.
1489 - Add scan to "update slots scan".
1490 - Add command in SD to readlabel.
1492 - In the bacula start/stop script, ordered the stop: FD SD Dir to
1493 give the SD the best chances of updating the catalog before dying.
1494 - Add Drive and InChanger to MEDIA_DBR record and to Volume update
1496 - Reorganize the Volume info update from SD so that the Dir sends back the
1497 current information in case the Volume status has changed by expiring.
1498 The DIR-SD protocol is not backward compatible (must update).
1499 - Fixed the signal handler to pass the signal to the exit_handler()
1500 previously it passed 1.
1501 - Modified SD so that on normal shutdown, it walks through all jcrs and
1502 cancels them so that the Volume status will be updated in the catalog.
1503 - Found and fixed a bug where ST_LABEL was not set in append mode
1504 (when a different tape was accepted other than the original one
1505 proposed by the DIR.
1506 - Update the catalog Volume info after dev->file is incremented rather
1507 than waiting for end of job.
1509 - Change getdomainname() prototype for Darwin.
1510 - Add gethost_strerror() to create correct error message for
1512 - After doing a kill() of a stalled connection in watchdog, turn off
1513 the timer to prevent an infinite loop.
1514 - Allow Bacula to rewrite the label on a disk volume.
1515 - Correct usage report printed by bsmtp.
1517 - Complete changing references to bsmtp from smtp.
1518 - Add L_NONE for Admin and Restore jobs and update level_to_str()
1519 - Fix segfault from double free of RestoreBootstrap in job.c
1521 - Change console to bconsole
1522 - Change console.conf to bconsole.conf
1523 - Change smtp to bsmtp
1524 - Implement .bconsolerc
1525 - Check if volume has expired when doing an update media for the SD
1527 - Implement new code that assures that a non-zero Slot is unique within
1528 a given Pool. When setting a non-zero Slot, the Slot of all other
1529 Volumes with the same Slot is set to zero. Redone later to add
1532 - Fix bug reported by Lars where an incorrect Volume name was printed
1533 by the "status dir" command.
1535 - Pretty up a few error messages printed by smtp.
1536 - Make btime_t int64_t so that one can do arithmetic.

1544 - Lots of documentation updates.
1545 - Make console print "Enter a period to cancel a command" when starting.
1546 - Fix the "list nextvol" command so that it doesn't try to close the
1547 database twice, giving a segfault.
1548 - Fix (hopefully) to dircmd.c so that a mount request does a pthread_cond_signal.
1549 There was one path were the signal was not sent. This should fix the bug
1550 that requires you to do two "mount" commands to free a job waiting on a mount.
1551 - Make dir_ask_sysop_to_mount_next_volume() return immediately if a slot is
1553 - Correct some of the messages in testfind.c (pointed out by Dan -- thanks).
1554 - Alias fd to client, sd to storage.
1555 - Changed order of Console commands so that short commands such as q (quit)

1567 - "status dir" stopped scanning the run records on the first
1568 one that matched giving an incomplete listing.
1569 - Edit commas in Bytes on "estimate" command output.
1571 2003-10-30 Version 1.32c 30Oct03 Release

1574 - Add code to ensure that fds 0,1, and 2 are defined by dup'ing them
1575 to /dev/null if necessary. Mostly for Windows that does not have them.
1576 - Error check dir_create_jobmedia_record() 2 places in acquire.c
1579 - Make message buffer longer for a status message that was
1581 - Put termination on varargs calls in gnome2-console.
1582 - Scroll only if text sent and not for status update.
1583 - Add all possible Status codes the jobstatus_to_ascii()
1585 - Add new spec file and cats patch from Scott.
1586 - Optimize tree.c a bit -- turn off debug code, keep node fname
1587 length for fast rejection, add some statistics, allocate
1588 in 100K and 1Meg chunks, use bool, uint16_t and uint8_t to
1589 reduce node packet size.
1591 - Eliminate ua_retention.c that was not used.
1592 - Improve error message when closing brace missing in conf file.

1603 have all the values in the same position.
1604 - Correct a typo in configure.in when configuring GNOME.
1605 - In doing a "status dir" make it loop over all the run
1606 commands in the Schedule rather than doing on the first one.
1607 - Close all unused file descriptors in bpipe.c otherwise if
1608 a daemon is started, it will keep our TCP/IP port open.
1610 - Print block read error (checksum, I/O, BB01, ...) once then
1611 the number found at the end of the reading.
1612 - Implement RunAfterFailedJob
1613 - Change db_find_job_start_time() to require a Full save before
1614 running an Incremental or Differential job.
1615 - Remove has_volume_expired from code that updates vol info
1617 - Implement "delete job"
1619 - More documentation, add Marc Brueckner's tips to manual.
1620 - Tweak gnome2-console scroll window.
1621 - Turn off some debug info.
1623 - Modify Verify to accept VerifyJob = xx, where the last backup job
1624 of job xxx will be verified.
1625 - Add changing the Pool name for a Volume to "update volume"
1626 - Write most of the code for Verify Disk to Catalog.
1627 - Recreate the src/gnome2-console directory.
1628 - Change all the text handling code to the Gnome 2.0 way.
1629 - Correct the way verify filenames are returned to the Director so
1630 that directories are in canonical form (i.e. trailing /).
1631 - Handle casting bug in glade-2 by sed'ing support.c in gnome2-console.
1633 2003-10-15 Version 1.32b 14Oct03 Release

1636 is not present, Bacula will link with the non-threaded
1638 - Updates to the Web pages and to the manual.
1639 - Remove trademark symbol from title. Phil pointed out that it
1640 does not display correctly in a title.
1642 - Implement restore by file before date.
1643 - Change restore arguments a bit so that you can feed it
1644 multiple jobid= specifications or multiple file= specifications.
1645 - Pass restore with run option on to run_cmd.
1646 - Make run-cmd not prompt if it has a "run" on the command line.
1648 - When pruning, select only old orphanned jobs to delete so that
1649 the current job is not pruned too.
1651 - Corrected return status for bsf_dev and bsr_dev in block.c and btape.c
1652 - dev.c used incorrect ruturn status for bsf_dev in the BSF at EOM
1653 code. This caused all appends on FreeBSD to fail.
1654 - Turn on fast block rejection code.
1656 - Optimize file index searches by adding a count to the bootstrap.
1657 - Write single files/blocks to bootstrap without the second part.

1662 - I noticed that SD and FD bootstrap files were not always
1663 deleted, so delete them as soon as possible.
1664 - Restore by file (or by selecting files) created some
1665 horrible looking bsr files that defeated the forward
1666 spacing code, so fix write_findex to work right.
1667 - Add zlib_strerror() routine in filed/restore in case
1669 - In filed/restore.c make sure all error returns cleanup
1670 and close the open file descriptor.
1671 - Make sure to set *non* over filename in attr packet
1672 after file is found, so error messages that print the
1673 filename don't print an old, incorrect name.
1674 - Allow bclose() to be called after closing the file.
1675 - Fix a number of unclear help messages, ... reported by
1677 - Retweak stored/read_record.c so that it does forward
1678 spacing at the beginning of every tape, not just the

1877 - Yifang Dai reported a case where he stress tested Bacula and
1878 backed up to four volumes, but only two were selected for the
1879 restore. This is because I forgot that the selection could
1880 span a volume entirely.
1881 - Added a missing CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS to the second attempt to open
1882 the MySQL database -- this prevents UPDATE errors if nothing
1884 - Applied corrections to the manual supplied by Bob Collins. Many thanks!

1968 it pointed out a bug where the directory tree handling code destroyed
1969 the restore arg list.
1970 - Many updates to the manual.
1971 - Pass prefix links flag to FD.
1972 - Sort list of commands for Console

1986 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
1987 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
1988 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
1989 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
1991 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
1993 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
1994 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
1995 for bscan to work correctly.
1996 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
1998 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
1999 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
2000 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
2001 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
2002 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
2003 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
2005 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
2006 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
2007 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.
2008 - Make file_index int32_t everywhere.
2009 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
2010 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
2011 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
2012 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
2013 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
2014 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
2015 dependencies of sscanf().
2016 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
2017 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
2018 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
2019 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
2020 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
2021 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
2023 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
2024 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
2025 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
2026 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
2027 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
2028 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
2029 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
2031 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
2032 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
2033 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
2034 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
2035 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
2036 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
2037 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
2038 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
2039 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
2040 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
2041 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
2042 there is no working pthread_kill().
2043 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
2044 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
2045 volumes. Now fixed and working!
2046 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
2047 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
2048 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).

2051 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
2052 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
2053 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
2054 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
2055 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
2056 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
2058 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
2059 - Complete Counter resource.
2060 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
2062 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
2063 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
2064 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
2065 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).

2071 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
2072 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
2073 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
2074 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
2075 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
2076 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
2077 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
2080 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
2081 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
2082 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
2083 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
2085 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
2086 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
2087 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
2088 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
2089 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
2090 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
2091 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
2092 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
2094 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
2095 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
2096 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
2097 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
2098 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
2099 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
2100 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
2101 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
2102 - implemented is_stream_supported().
2103 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
2104 - add mtime_only code.
2105 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
2106 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
2107 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
2108 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
2109 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
2110 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
2111 and it is now common for all readers.
2112 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
2113 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
2114 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
2116 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
2117 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
2118 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
2119 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
2120 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
2121 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
2122 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
2123 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
2125 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
2126 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
2127 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
2128 into Pool record on create/updated.
2129 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
2130 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
2131 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
2132 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
2133 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
2134 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
2135 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
2136 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
2137 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
2138 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
2139 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
2140 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
2141 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
2142 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
2143 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
2144 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
2146 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
2147 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
2148 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
2149 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
2150 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
2152 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
2153 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
2154 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
2156 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
2157 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
2158 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
2159 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
2160 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
2161 by overloading the global operators.
2162 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
2163 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
2165 - Started using "bool" where possible.
2166 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
2167 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
2168 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
2170 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
2171 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
2172 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
2173 - Incremented the database version.
2174 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
2176 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
2177 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
2178 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
2179 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
2180 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
2181 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
2182 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
2183 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
2184 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
2185 - Clean up a few error messages.
2186 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
2187 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
2188 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
2189 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
2190 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
2191 numbers are properly written.
2192 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
2193 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
2194 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
2195 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
2196 in a later version).
2197 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
2198 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
2199 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
2200 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
2201 messages are immediately displayed.
2202 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
2203 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
2204 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
2205 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
2206 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
2207 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
2208 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
2209 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
2210 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
2211 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
2213 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
2214 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
2215 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
2216 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
2217 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
2218 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
2219 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
2221 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
2222 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
2224 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
2225 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
2226 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
2227 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
2228 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
2229 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
2230 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
2232 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
2234 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
2235 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
2236 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
2237 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
2239 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
2240 - Add mandrake to platforms
2241 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
2242 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
2243 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
2244 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
2245 - Echo input read from a script in Console.

2247 - Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
2248 - Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
2249 - Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
2250 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
2251 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
2252 as reported by Phil.
2253 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
2254 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
2255 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
2256 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
2257 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
2258 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
2259 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
2260 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
2261 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
2262 - Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
2263 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
2264 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
2265 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
2266 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
2267 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
2268 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
2269 must implement new streams in SD.
2270 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
2271 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
2273 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
2274 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
2275 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
2276 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
2277 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
2278 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
2279 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
2280 - Add platform files for BSDI.
2281 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
2282 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
2283 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
2284 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
2285 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
2286 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
2287 - Begin adding Level = Base.
2288 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
2289 - Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
2290 - Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.
2291 - New bacula.spec from Scott
2292 - Add globals for database name and version and print them in traceback.
2293 - Eliminate SubSysDirectory in each daemon conf file.
2294 - Implement get_yesno() and get_pint() in UA.
2295 - Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
2296 - Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
2297 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
2298 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
2299 - A number of minor code cleanups.
2300 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.
2301 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
2302 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
2303 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
2305 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
2306 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
2307 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
2308 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
2309 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
2310 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
2312 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
2313 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
2314 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
2315 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
2316 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
2317 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
2318 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
2320 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
2321 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
2322 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
2323 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
2324 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
2325 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
2326 any possible confusion.
2327 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
2328 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
2329 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
2330 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
2331 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
2332 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
2333 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
2334 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
2335 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
2336 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
2337 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
2339 - First cut label dialog.
2340 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
2341 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
2342 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
2343 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
2344 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
2345 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
2346 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
2347 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
2348 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
2349 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
2350 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
2351 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
2352 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
2353 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
2354 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
2355 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
2356 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
2357 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
2358 implement individual Console authorization).
2360 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
2361 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
2362 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
2363 be immediately terminated in all cases.
2364 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
2365 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
2366 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
2367 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
2368 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
2369 - Implement When for "run" command.
2370 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
2372 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
2373 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
2374 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
2375 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
2376 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
2377 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
2378 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
2379 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
2380 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
2381 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
2382 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
2384 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
2385 in the console rather than in the Director.
2386 input - read input from a file
2387 output - write output to file
2388 tee - tee output to file and terminal
2389 time - print current time
2390 version - print current version
2393 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
2394 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
2395 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
2396 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
2398 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
2399 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
2400 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
2402 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
2403 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
2404 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
2405 - Lots of documentation of new features.
2406 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
2407 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
2408 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
2409 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
2410 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
2411 saving right away without a tape drive.
2412 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
2413 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
2414 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
2415 are implemented in the Director.
2416 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
2417 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
2418 This includes files moved or copied.
2419 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
2420 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
2421 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
2422 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
2423 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
2424 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
2425 - label barcodes now works.
2426 - Implemented "update slots".
2427 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
2428 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
2429 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
2430 - More work on barcodes.
2431 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
2432 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
2433 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
2434 anything but return the list to the Director.
2435 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
2436 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
2437 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
2438 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
2439 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
2440 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
2441 instead of horizontally.
2442 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
2443 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
2444 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
2445 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
2446 - Lots of new documentation.
2447 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
2448 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
2449 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
2450 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
2451 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
2452 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
2453 - Update client every time a job is run.
2454 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
2455 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
2456 - Release new depkgs
2457 - Release new winbacula.
2458 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
2459 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
2460 Device is requested.
2461 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
2462 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
2463 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
2465 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
2466 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
2467 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
2468 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
2469 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
2470 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
2471 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
2472 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
2473 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
2474 to be able to append.
2475 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
2476 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
2477 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
2478 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
2479 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
2480 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
2481 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
2482 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
2483 certain autochangers.
2484 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
2485 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
2486 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
2487 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
2488 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
2489 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
2491 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
2493 - Final cygwin tweaks.
2494 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
2495 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
2496 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
2497 dealing with bad input.
2498 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
2499 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
2500 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
2501 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
2502 of signal and counting the waiters.
2503 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
2504 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
2505 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
2506 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
2507 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
2508 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
2509 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
2510 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
2511 variables during recycling.
2512 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
2513 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
2514 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
2515 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
2516 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
2517 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
2519 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
2520 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
2521 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
2522 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
2523 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
2524 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
2525 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
2526 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
2527 callers want a new Volume name.
2528 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
2529 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
2530 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
2532 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
2533 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
2535 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
2536 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
2537 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
2538 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
2540 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
2541 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
2542 client not available.
2543 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
2544 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
2546 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
2547 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
2548 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
2549 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
2550 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
2551 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
2552 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
2554 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
2555 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
2556 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
2557 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
2558 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
2559 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
2560 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
2561 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
2563 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
2564 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
2566 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
2567 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
2568 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
2569 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
2570 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
2571 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
2572 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
2573 - Second cut of FileOptions.
2574 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
2575 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
2576 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
2577 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
2578 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
2579 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
2580 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
2581 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
2582 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
2583 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
2584 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
2585 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
2586 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
2587 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
2588 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
2589 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
2590 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
2591 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
2592 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
2593 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
2594 - All changing Pool in console run command.
2595 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
2596 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
2597 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
2598 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
2599 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
2600 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
2601 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
2602 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
2603 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
2604 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
2605 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
2606 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
2607 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
2608 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
2609 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
2610 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
2611 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
2612 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
2613 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
2615 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
2616 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
2617 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
2618 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
2619 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
2621 =============================================================================
2622 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
2624 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
2627 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
2628 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
2629 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
2630 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
2631 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
2632 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
2633 but at least dumps will work).
2635 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
2636 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
2637 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
2638 - Added pthread btimer routines.
2639 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
2640 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
2641 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
2642 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
2644 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
2645 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
2647 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
2648 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
2649 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
2650 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
2651 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
2652 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
2653 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
2655 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
2656 add empty buffer flag).
2658 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
2659 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
2660 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
2663 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
2664 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
2665 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
2666 exactly the same structure.
2667 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
2668 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
2669 of cleanup in message.c
2670 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
2671 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
2672 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
2673 order will be correct.
2674 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
2675 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
2676 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
2677 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
2678 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
2679 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
2680 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
2681 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
2682 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
2683 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
2684 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
2685 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
2686 after the current time -- slow process ...
2688 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
2689 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
2690 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
2692 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
2693 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
2694 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
2695 debugger always works -- we will see.
2696 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
2698 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
2700 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
2701 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
2702 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
2703 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
2704 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
2705 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
2706 jobs finished correctly.
2707 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
2708 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
2709 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
2710 print the full path name.
2711 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
2712 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
2713 duplicate filenames or paths.
2715 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
2716 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
2717 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
2719 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
2720 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
2721 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
2722 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
2723 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
2724 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
2726 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
2727 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
2728 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
2729 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
2730 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
2731 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
2732 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
2735 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
2736 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
2738 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
2739 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
2742 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
2743 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
2744 - Made | and < work.
2745 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
2746 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
2749 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
2750 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
2752 =============================================================================
2753 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
2754 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
2755 reported by James MacLean.
2756 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
2757 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
2758 James MacLean for reporting this.
2760 =============================================================================
2761 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
2762 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
2764 =============================================================================
2765 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
2767 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
2768 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
2769 it as the development goes on.
2770 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
2771 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
2772 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
2773 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
2774 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
2775 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
2778 Changes submitted this submission:
2780 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
2782 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
2783 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
2784 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
2785 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
2787 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
2788 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
2789 splitting path from file).
2791 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
2792 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
2793 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
2795 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
2796 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
2797 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
2799 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
2800 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
2801 handle shorts and long longs.
2803 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
2804 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
2805 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
2806 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
2807 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
2810 - Added more rescue documentation.
2811 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
2812 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
2813 configuration file as the default.
2815 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
2816 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
2819 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
2820 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
2821 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
2822 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
2824 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
2825 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
2826 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
2827 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
2828 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
2830 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
2831 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
2832 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
2833 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
2834 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
2836 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
2837 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
2838 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
2839 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
2841 - Started adding FileOptions ...
2842 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
2843 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
2844 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
2845 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
2846 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
2847 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
2848 block before writing and upon read back.
2849 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
2850 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
2851 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
2852 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
2853 static versions of the daemons.
2855 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
2856 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
2857 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
2858 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
2859 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
2860 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
2861 to help guide the user.
2862 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
2864 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
2865 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
2866 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
2867 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
2869 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
2870 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
2871 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
2873 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
2874 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
2875 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
2876 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
2877 in the restore Console command.
2878 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
2879 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
2880 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
2881 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
2883 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
2885 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
2886 new lib/edit.c file.
2888 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
2889 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
2890 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
2891 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
2892 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
2894 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
2895 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
2896 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
2897 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
2901 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
2902 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
2903 This code is untested.
2904 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
2905 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
2906 as well as getting info from them.
2907 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
2909 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
2910 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
2911 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
2913 - Improved error messages in smtp.
2915 =============================================================================
2916 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
2917 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
2918 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
2920 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
2921 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
2922 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
2924 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
2925 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
2927 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
2928 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
2930 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
2932 General: from kes25Nov02
2933 - Mostly Cygwin changes
2935 Changes submitted this submission:
2936 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
2937 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
2938 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
2939 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
2940 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
2941 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
2942 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
2943 - Build testfind as default.
2944 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
2946 General: from kes21Nov02
2947 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
2948 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
2949 the src/cats directory.
2951 Changes submitted this submission:
2952 - Additional documentation.
2953 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
2954 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
2955 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
2956 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
2957 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
2958 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
2959 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
2960 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
2961 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
2962 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
2963 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
2964 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
2965 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
2966 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
2967 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
2968 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
2969 the SQL noted above.
2970 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
2971 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
2972 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
2973 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
2974 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
2975 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
2977 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
2979 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
2980 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
2981 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
2982 - Add Pool attribute query
2983 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
2984 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
2986 General: from kes18Nov02
2987 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
2988 and prevent buffer overflows.
2990 Changes submitted this submission:
2991 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
2992 jobs get the correct address.
2993 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
2994 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
2995 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
2996 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
2997 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
2999 General: from kes13Nov02
3000 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
3001 ./alter_mysql_tables
3003 ./alter_sqlite_tables
3004 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
3005 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
3007 Changes submitted this submission:
3008 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
3009 when a tape can be marked Used.
3010 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
3011 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
3012 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
3013 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
3014 database. Incremented db version.
3015 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
3016 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
3017 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
3018 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
3019 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
3020 it for MySQL. What a pain!
3021 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
3022 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
3024 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
3025 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
3027 General: from kes09Nov02
3028 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
3029 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
3030 as well as a standard page size.
3031 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
3032 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
3033 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
3034 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
3036 Changes submitted this submission:
3037 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
3038 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
3040 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
3041 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
3043 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
3044 -i option. I have not tested it.
3046 General: from kes30Oct02
3047 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
3048 - bacula stript fixes.
3049 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
3050 - Added openbsd to platforms
3052 Changes submitted this submission:
3053 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
3054 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
3055 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
3056 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
3057 testing was missing.
3058 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
3059 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
3060 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
3061 confusing for the user, but ...
3062 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
3063 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
3065 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
3066 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
3067 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
3068 where the Director seg faulted.
3070 General: from kes29Oct02
3071 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
3073 Changes submitted this submission:
3074 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
3075 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
3076 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
3077 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
3079 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
3080 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
3081 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
3082 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
3083 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
3084 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
3085 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
3086 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
3087 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
3089 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
3091 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
3092 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
3093 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
3094 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
3095 it was a network error.
3096 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
3097 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
3098 console.exe to the release.
3099 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
3100 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
3101 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
3103 General: from kes23Oct02
3104 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
3105 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
3107 - Trademarked name Bacula.
3108 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
3109 will be maintained forever.
3110 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
3113 Changes submitted this submission:
3114 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
3115 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
3116 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
3118 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
3119 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
3120 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
3121 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
3123 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
3124 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
3125 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
3126 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
3127 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
3128 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
3129 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
3130 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
3131 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
3132 This replaces previous floating point times.
3133 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
3134 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
3135 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
3136 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
3137 in the pool to be mounted.
3138 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
3139 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
3140 for it to be enabled.
3141 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
3143 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
3144 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
3145 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
3146 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
3147 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
3148 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
3149 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
3151 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
3152 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
3155 =============================================================================
3156 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
3157 General: from kes10Oct02
3158 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
3159 character on Windows.
3161 Changes submitted this submission:
3162 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
3163 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
3164 - Documentation on GZIP.
3165 - Another restore doc example.
3166 - Documented btape fill command.
3167 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
3168 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
3169 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
3170 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
3171 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
3172 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
3173 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
3174 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
3175 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
3176 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
3177 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
3178 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
3179 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
3180 routines that create files do not print error messages.
3181 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
3182 Currently the following bits are not handled:
3186 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
3188 General: from kes09Oct02
3189 - More documentation.
3190 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
3191 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
3194 Changes submitted this submission:
3195 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
3196 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
3197 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
3198 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
3199 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
3200 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
3201 This will always be zero if no software compression was
3202 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
3203 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
3204 the termination status represents the state of all three
3206 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
3207 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
3210 General: From kes06Oct02
3211 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
3212 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
3213 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
3214 jobs to a File volume.
3215 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
3217 Changes submitted this submission:
3219 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
3220 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
3221 is currently turned off.
3222 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
3224 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
3225 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
3226 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
3227 ./drop_bacula_tables.
3228 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
3229 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
3230 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
3231 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
3232 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
3233 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
3234 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
3235 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
3236 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
3237 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
3239 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
3240 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
3241 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
3242 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
3244 General: From kes25Sep02
3245 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
3248 Changes submitted this submission:
3249 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
3250 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
3251 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
3252 a user -- thank you.
3253 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
3254 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
3255 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
3256 from which you can do a restore.
3257 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
3258 by an explicit ranlib call.
3259 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
3260 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
3261 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
3262 be listed as "Unknown type".
3263 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
3265 General: From kes14Sep02
3266 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
3267 - 64 bit file address support if available.
3268 - Implement autochanger for reading
3269 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
3270 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
3272 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
3273 - Begin implementation of a regression script
3274 - Write bootstrap after ever job
3276 Changes submitted this submission:
3277 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
3278 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
3279 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
3281 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
3282 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
3283 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
3284 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
3285 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
3287 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
3288 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
3289 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
3291 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
3292 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
3293 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
3294 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
3295 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
3297 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
3298 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
3299 acquire_device_for_read()
3300 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
3304 - Fix Volume in bsr.
3305 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
3307 =============================================================================
3308 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
3309 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
3310 will always read the currently mounted tape.
3312 =============================================================================
3313 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
3315 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
3316 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
3317 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
3319 Changes submitted this submission:
3320 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
3322 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
3323 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
3324 for Verify but not really errors.
3327 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
3329 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
3330 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
3331 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
3332 were not properly restored.
3336 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
3337 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
3338 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
3339 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
3340 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
3341 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
3342 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
3343 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
3344 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
3345 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
3346 any restore Job. Arrggg!
3347 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
3348 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
3349 FD not required, but recommended.
3351 Changes submitted this submission:
3352 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
3353 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
3354 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
3355 feedback from users. Thanks.
3356 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
3358 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
3359 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
3360 messages from within the Database subroutines.
3361 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
3362 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
3363 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
3364 of network errors from within the network code.
3365 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
3366 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
3367 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
3368 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
3369 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
3370 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
3371 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
3372 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
3373 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
3374 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
3375 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
3376 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
3377 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
3378 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
3380 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
3381 the restore command.
3382 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
3383 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
3384 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
3385 been done -- thanks Chuck.
3386 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
3387 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
3388 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
3389 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
3390 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
3391 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
3392 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
3393 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
3394 reading them back much easier.
3395 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
3397 =============================================================================
3398 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
3400 - Made a new tools directory.
3401 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
3402 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
3403 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
3404 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
3405 on binaries that actually need it.
3406 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
3407 - Move testfind to tools directory.
3408 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
3409 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
3410 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
3411 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
3412 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
3414 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
3415 listing of the file/directory name.
3416 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
3417 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
3418 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
3419 FileSets, ask user to select one.
3420 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
3421 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
3424 - Made restore actually work.
3425 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
3427 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
3428 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
3429 line arguments. Fixed!
3430 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
3431 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
3432 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
3433 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
3434 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
3435 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
3437 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
3438 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
3439 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
3440 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
3441 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
3442 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
3445 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
3446 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
3447 new read-write lock code.
3448 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
3449 using the rwl_xxx routines.
3450 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
3451 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
3452 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
3453 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
3454 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
3455 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
3456 to the default definition of char.
3457 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
3459 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
3460 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
3461 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
3462 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
3463 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
3464 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
3465 arguments for created run command in restore.
3466 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
3467 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
3468 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
3470 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
3471 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
3472 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
3475 - Did a good amount of documentation.
3476 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
3477 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
3478 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
3479 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
3480 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
3481 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
3482 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
3483 - Increase the sleep time.
3484 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
3485 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
3487 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
3488 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
3489 two or more volumes.
3492 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
3493 - Lots of work on the restore command.
3494 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
3495 when the console program prematurely terminates.
3496 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
3497 them all in the same thread.
3498 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
3499 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
3500 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
3501 on interdaemon communications.
3502 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
3503 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
3504 properly terminated.
3505 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
3509 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
3510 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
3511 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
3512 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
3513 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
3514 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
3515 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
3516 This will permit splitting depkgs.
3517 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
3518 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
3519 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
3520 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
3521 Is dequoting needed?
3522 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
3523 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
3524 but does not produce a dump.
3525 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
3526 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
3527 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
3528 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
3530 ===========================================================================
3531 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
3532 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
3533 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
3535 ===========================================================================
3536 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
3538 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
3539 (still works with older MySQLs).
3540 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
3541 - Added kernstodo to CVS
3542 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
3543 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
3544 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
3545 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
3548 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
3551 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
3552 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
3553 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
3554 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
3555 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
3556 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
3557 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
3558 improve performance.
3559 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
3560 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
3561 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
3562 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
3563 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
3564 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
3565 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
3566 ensure that the door is unlocked.
3567 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
3568 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
3569 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
3570 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
3572 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
3573 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
3575 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
3576 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
3578 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
3579 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
3580 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
3583 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
3585 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
3586 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
3587 is finished with the Job.
3588 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
3589 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
3590 the tape prior to freeing it.
3591 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
3592 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
3593 This permits running an external program with the following editing
3597 %d = Director's name
3606 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
3607 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
3608 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
3610 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
3611 - Currently the changer commands used are:
3612 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
3613 load -- loads a specified slot
3614 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
3615 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
3616 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
3617 slots -- returns total number of slots
3618 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
3619 resource, permits editing of:
3621 %a = archive device name
3622 %c = changer device name
3629 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
3630 specified in the SD Device resource.
3633 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
3634 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
3635 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
3636 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
3637 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
3638 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
3639 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
3640 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
3641 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
3642 to a Console selection request.
3643 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
3644 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
3645 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
3646 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
3647 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
3648 box after history replacement.
3649 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
3650 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
3651 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
3652 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
3653 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
3654 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
3655 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
3656 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
3657 of terminating the Job.
3658 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
3660 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
3664 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
3665 - A fair amount of documentation.
3666 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
3667 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
3668 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
3669 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
3670 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
3671 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
3673 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
3674 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
3675 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
3676 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
3677 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
3678 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
3679 database that you are using.
3680 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
3681 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
3682 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
3683 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
3684 routines even with DEBUG off.
3685 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
3686 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
3687 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
3688 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
3689 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
3690 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
3691 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
3692 handling of errors with minimum code.
3693 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
3694 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
3695 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
3696 resource is part of the Pool resource.
3697 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
3698 yet create a DB record.
3699 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
3701 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
3702 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
3703 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
3705 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
3706 backup and verify volume.
3707 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
3708 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
3709 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
3710 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
3711 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
3712 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
3713 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
3714 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
3715 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
3716 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
3717 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
3718 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
3719 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
3720 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
3721 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
3722 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
3724 ===========================================================================
3725 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
3726 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
3727 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
3728 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
3729 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
3730 will go away in a future release.
3731 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
3732 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
3733 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
3736 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
3737 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
3738 order they appear in the config file.
3739 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
3740 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
3741 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
3742 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
3743 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
3744 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
3745 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
3746 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
3747 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
3748 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
3749 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
3750 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
3751 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
3752 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
3754 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
3755 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
3756 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
3757 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
3760 - Additional documentation.
3761 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
3762 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
3763 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
3764 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
3765 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
3766 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
3771 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
3772 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
3774 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
3775 segment fault on Solaris.
3776 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
3779 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
3780 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
3783 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
3784 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
3785 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
3787 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
3788 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
3789 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
3790 the caller to specify what he wants.
3791 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
3792 and name scanning to lex.
3793 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
3795 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
3796 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
3799 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
3800 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
3801 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
3802 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
3803 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
3804 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
3805 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
3806 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
3807 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
3808 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
3810 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
3811 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
3812 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
3813 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
3814 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
3815 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
3816 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
3818 ===========================================================================
3819 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
3820 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
3821 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
3822 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
3823 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
3824 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
3825 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
3826 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
3827 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
3828 recovery with no database.
3829 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
3830 in your config files.
3831 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
3835 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
3836 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
3837 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
3838 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
3839 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
3841 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
3842 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
3843 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
3844 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
3845 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
3847 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
3848 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
3849 statements per command.
3850 - Implemented three new "query" options:
3851 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
3852 List Volumes used by selected JobId
3853 List Volumes to Restore All Files
3854 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
3855 select the one you want.
3856 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
3857 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
3860 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
3861 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
3862 it with a pthreads mutex.
3863 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
3864 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
3865 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
3866 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
3867 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
3868 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
3875 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
3876 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
3877 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
3878 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
3879 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
3880 add data in the new format to old tapes.
3881 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
3882 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
3883 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
3884 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
3885 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
3886 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
3887 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
3889 ===========================================================================
3890 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
3891 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
3892 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
3893 - Fixed the query command bug.
3894 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
3895 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
3896 points to a working directory.
3897 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
3898 permits a core dump.
3899 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
3900 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
3901 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
3903 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
3904 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
3905 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
3906 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
3907 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
3908 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
3909 potential source of errors.
3910 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
3911 to the Schedule Run record.
3912 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
3913 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
3914 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
3915 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
3916 earlier code reorganization.
3917 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
3918 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
3919 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
3920 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
3921 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
3922 keep around legacy code.
3923 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
3924 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
3925 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
3926 by turning off autopruning.
3927 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
3928 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
3929 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
3930 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
3931 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
3932 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
3933 it forces the specified pruning.
3934 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
3936 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
3937 in place of P() and V().
3938 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
3940 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
3941 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
3942 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
3943 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
3944 calls the UA prune routines.
3945 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
3946 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
3947 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
3948 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
3949 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
3950 daemons if they listen on different ports.
3951 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
3952 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
3953 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
3954 it should be its own typedef.
3955 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
3956 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
3957 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
3958 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
3959 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
3960 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
3961 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
3962 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
3963 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
3964 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
3966 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
3967 the number of Files pruned in the message.
3968 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
3969 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
3970 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
3973 ===========================================================================
3974 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
3975 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
3976 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
3977 commands documented.
3978 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
3979 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
3980 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
3981 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
3982 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
3983 due to a bug in MySQL.
3984 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
3985 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
3986 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
3987 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
3988 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
3989 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
3990 Bug reported by Phil.
3991 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
3992 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
3993 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
3994 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
3995 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
3996 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
3997 older gcc compilers.
3998 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
3999 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
4000 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
4001 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
4002 in UserAgent server.
4003 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
4004 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
4005 - Delete unused code from backup.c
4006 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
4007 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
4008 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
4009 This dummy value should never be printed.
4010 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
4011 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
4012 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
4014 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
4015 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
4016 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
4018 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
4019 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
4020 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
4021 new btime_t definition.
4022 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
4023 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
4024 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
4025 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
4026 descriptive of what is done.
4027 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
4028 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
4029 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
4030 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
4031 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
4032 - Additional config options for Console.
4033 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
4034 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
4035 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
4036 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
4037 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
4038 to modify Media table.
4039 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
4040 message if the make ends in error.
4041 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
4042 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
4043 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
4044 all associated records in the database.
4045 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
4046 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
4047 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
4048 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
4049 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
4050 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
4051 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
4052 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
4053 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
4054 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
4056 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
4057 kept in ua and jcr structures).
4058 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
4059 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
4060 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
4061 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
4062 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
4063 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
4064 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
4065 - Make console accept redirected input.
4066 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
4067 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
4068 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
4069 - Use JobId_t in more places.
4070 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
4071 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
4072 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
4073 future changes in the database. This should prevent
4074 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
4075 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
4076 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
4077 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
4078 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
4079 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
4080 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
4081 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
4082 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
4083 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
4084 - Purge Volume now works.
4085 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
4086 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
4087 More work to be done to search for termcap.
4088 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
4089 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
4090 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
4091 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
4092 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
4093 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
4094 not have the ALTER SQL command.
4095 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
4096 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
4097 This value is used when doing pruning.
4098 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
4099 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
4100 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
4101 retention period changes.
4102 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
4103 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
4105 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
4106 message resources. Much more work to be done.
4107 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
4109 ===========================================================================
4110 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
4111 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
4112 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
4113 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
4114 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
4115 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
4116 due to a bug in MySQL.
4117 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
4118 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
4119 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
4120 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
4121 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
4122 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
4123 Bug reported by Phil.
4124 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
4125 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
4126 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
4127 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
4129 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
4130 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
4131 older gcc compilers.
4132 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
4135 ===========================================================================
4136 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
4137 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
4139 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
4140 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
4141 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
4142 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
4143 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
4144 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
4145 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
4146 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
4147 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
4148 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
4149 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
4150 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
4151 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
4152 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
4153 broke the restore code.
4154 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
4155 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
4156 variable block sizes.
4157 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
4158 (at least on DAT tapes).
4159 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
4160 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
4162 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
4164 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
4165 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
4166 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
4167 prototype problem for C++.
4169 ===========================================================================
4170 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
4171 - Many intervening changes/updates.
4173 2001-09-29 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
4174 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
4175 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
4177 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
4178 - Helped John install at his site.
4179 He is backing up one Linux machine and
4180 one Win2000 machine.
4182 2001-mm-dd Many releases
4183 - Released internally.
4185 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
4186 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
4187 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
4188 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
4189 remains a lot to do.
4190 - The file search code is now integrated into the
4191 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
4192 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
4193 all the database records are being created, though
4194 there still remains some work in getting all the
4195 details into the records (such as the Storage
4197 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
4198 - I've defined error message handling though no code
4200 - The following resources and records are implemented
4201 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
4204 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
4207 Password (not yet used)
4209 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
4213 Backup (only one permitted)
4216 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
4219 Include (options ignored)
4220 Exclude (no options)
4225 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
4228 Address, Port, Password (not used)
4231 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
4233 - Added Storage configuration routines.
4235 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
4237 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
4240 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
4241 Archive Device (defines device name)
4244 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
4245 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
4246 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
4247 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
4248 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
4249 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
4250 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
4251 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
4253 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
4254 implement it in the daemons.
4255 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
4256 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
4257 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
4260 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
4261 - Integrated John's fixes.
4262 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
4263 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
4264 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
4265 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
4267 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
4268 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
4269 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
4271 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
4272 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
