2 2004-04-26 Version 1.34.2 24Apr04 Release
4 - Get production build on Win32 of wx-console working -- mostly a problem
5 of getting the paths right and installing and building wxWidgets.
7 - Make SD utility programs accept device name as well as archive device
11 - Fix one off bug in StartBlock in bscan -- thanks to Gregory Brauer for
13 - Remove old debug code from Win32 FD.
15 2004-04-20 Version 1.34.1 20Apr04 Release
17 - Found and fixed SD crash during restore.
18 - Added FreeBSD Bare Metal Recovery documentation by Alex Torres
20 - Added nice graphics produced by Aristedes Maniatis giving an
21 overall view of Bacula.
22 - Changed textdomain to be "bacula" in all progs.
23 - Fixed a major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple
24 simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had
25 blocked another because of resource usage. This caused a deadlock
26 and CPU usage. Reported by Michel Meyers.
27 - Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings
28 if any warning messages were generated.
29 - Change output of restore report to indicate:
30 "Restore OK -- warning file count mismatch"
31 - Make backup report say "Backup OK with warnings" if either FD or SD
32 report any non-fatal errors.
33 - Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...)
36 - Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...)
39 - Added --enable-wx-console and updated Makefile.in
40 - Fix mtx-changer so that the calling sequence is compatible
41 with the previous version (the new one required arguments that
42 were not necessarily used).
43 - Document how to use stunnel with Bacula.
45 - Fix crash in query command.
46 - Remove schedule from the default restore job.
47 - Fix data spooler to use min/max tape blocking factors.
48 - Automatically turn of conio if library not found instead of bombing.
49 - Cleaned up a lot of copyright dates.
50 - Try to keep spool statistics from going negative.
51 - Integrated wx-console code from Nicolas Boichat.
53 - Added new Pools chapter. Doc about using two disks.
54 - Attempt to keep the spool file statistics size from going
57 - Fix the Director's Scheduled Jobs: list to have a ===
59 - Fixed ./configure to disable readline rather than stop if
60 readline.h is not found
61 - Fixed a typo in the SQLite database update script as reported
62 by Robert J. Clark - thanks.
64 - Removed src/win32/pthreads and src/win32/zlib from the source
66 - Created a new depkgs-win32 that has the pthreads and zlib source
68 - Removed the JobDefs from the default Restore job as it has a
69 schedule. Thanks to Matt Howard for this.
72 2004-04-06 Version 1.34.0 06Apr04 Release
74 - Turn off SIGQUIT in console.
76 - A good number of document updates.
77 - Fixed the order which multiple files are accepted for
78 inclusion in the restore tree due to the fact that PostgreSQL
79 returns files in a different order from their insertion.
81 - Fix autochanger test in btape. It used old editing routines.
82 - Fix run_program to return 0 if program runs and no output.
83 - Add more debug to run_program.
84 - Make signal debug print signal string.
86 - Build console with client-only build.
87 - Add better error messages to some of the db_xxx routines.
88 - Apply Christopher Hull's patches for proper Win32 shutdown.
89 - Eliminate True and False in favor of true and false.
90 - Put correct thread id in jcr once the correct thread is running.
91 - Zap head and tail pointers in dlist when everything is removed.
92 - Rework sm_dump() so that it won't overrun a buffer when editing
94 - Fix watchdog to properly remove entries while walking the
96 - Fix termination of last_jobs list by removing broken code.
98 - Update dbcheck to fix Paths without a trailing slash and Filenames
99 with a trailing slash.
101 - Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes
102 Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely
103 this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running
104 the daemon with this option in production.
105 - Tweaked the Makefile not to create the gnome directories except
106 when doing a gnome install.
108 - Implement Qmsg() queuing of messages to prevent recursion especially
109 for bnet.c where recursion is fatal.
110 - Add detection of ncurses if the termcap lib is not found.
111 - Tweak winabout -- start cleanup.
112 - Fix dlist again, when list is destroyed, be sure to null head and
115 - Make the default for restore to have nothing marked.
116 - The "all" keyword on the restore command marks everything by
118 - The "done" keyword on the restore command prevents user interaction
119 with the tree routines -- used mainly for scripting (regression ...).
120 - Correct a bug in the last_sibling code.
121 - Add alphabetic sorting of siblings so the "dir" and "ls" commands
122 during restore show files in alphabetic order.
124 - Based on Mike Acar's suggestions rework tree insert routines. Improve
125 performance by using a last_sibling link for inserts.
127 - Apply corrected SQL to sql_get.c supplied by Dan Langille.
128 - Implement "delete job jobid=xxx jobid=yyy ..."
129 - Implement "purge volume=xxx volume=yyy ..."
130 - Fix buffer overrun in query string substitution.
132 - Fix bad format %s instead of %d for editing new slot in update volume.
133 Reported by Vadim Zotov.
134 - Better error diagnostics in ./configure for detecting termcap library.
136 - Restore old sql.c split_path and file name since it seems to have
137 broken the Verify stuff.
139 - Hunt down missing free_locked_jcr() in SD that caused zombies.
140 - Modify status outputs to be more consistent for zombie checking.
141 - Add tests to regression script for zombie jobs.
142 - Set EIO in dev_errno for all error returns when bad data found. This
143 fixes ERR=Success messages.
144 - Make error messages all contain ERROR for easy regression testing.
145 - Add sanity check in DIR for VolFiles becoming smaller.
147 - Second cut GTK+ restore GUI. Ready for testing but much more to do.
148 - Phil reported an sql path length=0 message. This broke saves of
150 - Fixed seg fault in btape "test" due to missing allocation of dcr.
151 - Tweaked some btape messages.
152 - Sort Volume names in Job report according to the order they were
153 written -- user request.
155 - First cut GTK+ restore GUI.
156 - Applied bsmtp patch supplied by a user. Thanks.
157 - Made a new split_path_and_filename() subroutine -- in lib/scan.c
159 - Fix "typos" in RedHat install-autostart Makefile.in
161 - Added two tar files that Phil sent for adding slackware support.
162 Thanks Phil and Matt Howard.
163 - Fix relabel command -- || should have been &&.
164 - Correct once more the scheduling algorithm -- this time it should
167 - Implement simple spool statistics printed by "status sd".
168 - Cleanup/add spool error messages.
169 - On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly.
170 - Implement code to select a different Volume in the SD if the
171 current Volume is busy -- requested by Patrick Cole.
172 - Change postgreSQL make tables to use bigint instead of integer
173 for StartBlock and EndBlock because
174 there is no unsigned integer in postgreSQL and these fields use 32 bits.
175 - Implement multiple drive autochanger support -- prompted by email of
178 - Update version and date in Win32 build.
179 - Fix bug in run_conf with month range zapping wday and wom.
180 - Correct editing of port for PQsetdbLogin in postgresql.c as reported
181 by J. Conroy, and do a second try.
183 - Integrate Phil's Makefile patch.
184 - Add SpoolDirectory to SD Device resource.
185 - Add MaximumJobSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
186 - Add MaximumSpoolSize to SD Device resource.
187 - Implement the above.
188 - Make despooling lock the device so only it writes
189 to the device during despooling.
191 - Data spooling now passes the regression tests.
192 - Added "Files Expected" to the restore job report.
193 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Job resource
194 - Implemented SpoolData = yes/no in the Run overrides.
195 - Note, you must have a 1.33.4-09Mar05 SD or later with the Director since
196 the DIR->SD protocol has changed to support data spooling.
197 - Remove the confusing "Which DBMS do you want to use (please select only one):"
198 messages from ./configure.
199 - Fix broken Jmsg with missing argument in find_one.c
201 - Second cut data spooling code.
202 - Fix missing piece of yesterday's patch.
204 - Integrate patches supplied by Jason Conroy that fix Slot numbers
207 - This version contains a *major* addition to the SD structures.
208 Many variables have been moved out of the JCR into a new DCR
209 (Device Context Record). This required quite a few changes, and
210 introduced a bit of instability. In the end, after a few more
211 rounds of changes, the DCR will replace virtually all arguments
212 to the low level SD read/write routines. This change permits
213 (with a bit more code) the SD to write to multiple devices at
214 the same time for a single Job. It also facilitates adding the
216 - Added a patch that fixed the port specification for postgresql.
217 - Fixed findlib/find_one.c so that it will complain about backing
218 up a hard linked file twice, which makes a restore impossible.
219 - Tighten up permissions on pid file.
220 - Attempt to avoid warnings when casting 64 bit pointers to an
222 - Added skeleton code for data spooling.
223 - Make sure spooled attributes are discarded on error.
225 - Updated getdiskinfo in rescue/linux to handle the fact that the
226 sfdisk -s option now includes info on partitions. Also, before
227 creating the diskinfo files, clean out the old ones.
229 - Add debug and error output to jobq.c
230 - Fix some minor errors in debug output of scheduler.c
231 - Add "trace on/off" command and modify trace code in message.c
232 to work off trace flag rather than #defines.
234 - If console is found during install warn user (new name is bconsole).
235 - On install copy console.conf to bconsole.conf if it exists.
236 - Make RunAfterJob error non-fatal.
237 - Rework minor details in status output.
238 - Attempt to define all values for "consoles" in JCR to avoid
241 - Use net start bacula to start Bacula on WinXP/NT/2K
242 systems after installation.
243 - Change a few strcpy()s to bstrncpy()s in signal.
244 - Add "gui on/off" command to console to turn on gui mode,
245 which will adapt Bacula better to batch or gui programs.
246 Currently, it prevents commas from being inserted into
247 numbers in the list command.
248 - Tweak some of the Makefiles so that the install is done with
249 the right program (nothing really changed).
250 - Install logrotate in the "make autostart" of Bacula on RedHat.
251 - Implement SIGHUP while jobs are running. It *seems* to work but is
252 a bit fragile and still crashes if you push it. More work needed.
253 - Applied Phil's GNOME 1.4 patch. Very clean. Thanks Phil.
254 - Major updates to the native Win32 installer.
256 - Restructure free of conf resources to handle job_end_push()
257 and SIGHUP. Lots of changes little substance.
259 - Add mtimeonly=yes/no and keepatime=yes/no to Include list
261 - Allow no modifier in time and size specifications.
262 - Attempt to implement disk seeking. More work needed.
263 - Implement more in win32 installer and test it.
265 - Implement kb, mb, and gb modifiers for size, which mean
266 1,000 bytes, 1,000,000, ... bytes.
267 - Add Makefile to src/win32 to allow building the full
268 release -- it calls nmake where appropriate.
269 - Remove the rsi directory from win32 as suggested by Christopher
270 - Add Michel Meyers' nsi file to win32 and integrate it with
273 - Add the frigging _O_BINARY to the right variable. Win32 works!
274 - Add debug code to state file. There is a problem with Win32 read
275 returning one byte less than it should.
276 - Implement a number of new functions for alist so that it has
277 equivalent functionality to dlist. It will be used for
279 - More work on state file.
280 - Added a popup message box on Windows if Bacula Aborts.
281 - Attempt to shutdown the FD server, but doesn't work on Windows. This
282 would have given a cleaner shutdown, no problem.
285 - Attempt to fix state file on Win32 -- no luck.
286 - Add HPUX tweaks to configure.in
287 - Update quickstart and install.wml of doc.
288 - Eliminate extern int h_errno from bnet.c by including netdb.h
289 - Eliminate NumJobs from last_job structure so that FD and SD
290 correctly report what is in the state file.
292 - Implement daemon state file, and save/restore last_jobs list.
293 - Fix time routines in win32 compat.cpp
294 - Fix a bug of not checking the bpipe_open() status in do_shell_expansion().
296 - Add Volker's bacula script to the SuSE directory and convert it
298 - Make LockRes() and UnlockRes() use read/write locks and have
299 debug info to trace locking and unlocking.
300 - Begin work of implementing SIGHUP. It is now enabled for
301 the Director and works only if there are no jobs running,
302 in addition, if the new conf file is incorrect, it will
303 terminate Bacula. Much more work to be done. I've figured
304 out a scheme to implement it with running jobs without
305 adding individual semaphores or use counts.
306 - Sort "list jobs" by StartTime rather than JobId, which can
309 - Add a lot of "const" to char * arguments to keep the native
311 - Added first cut of message queuing to prevent recursion in
312 low level routines. This code is not yet working.
313 - Spent a *huge* amount of time looking at the tape driver
314 code in the wake of several reports of tape labels getting
315 trashed. The code looks fine.
316 - Created a tape with an error (by writing a block at the
317 beginning of a tape that had valid data), and found that
318 Under Linux there is no way to read past an I/O error.
319 I tried mt; I tried my own program (btape); and I tried
320 using scsitape, which talks directly to the scsi driver.
321 This is *VERY BAD* news.
322 - I spent an *enormous* amount of time enhancing the btape
323 test program as well as making the fill command work with
324 both one and two tapes and the autochanger if configured.
325 The multiple tape fill test is now quite comprehensive.
326 It checks the last block on the first tape, the first block
327 on the second tape, and the last block (11) on the second
329 - Teaked the tape driver for several functions to use the
330 OS driver's notion of mt_file if there is an error.
332 - Add DB update scripts retrieved by Scott to a new updatedb
333 directory at the top level.
334 - Add -p option to bcopy to allow ignoring errors on input.
335 - COALESCE(xx,0) does not work on PostgreSQL because the 0 is not a
336 correct time. Replaced by adding LastWritten IS NULL to the sort
337 line as was first suggested by JML.
339 - Use COALESCE(LastWritten, 0) in sql_find.c to get NULLs to sort last.
341 - Add write/read and positioning test to btape "test" program.
343 - Fix bad printf of InChanger flag reported by Pascal Pederiva.
344 - Fix bad indexing off stack in authenticate.c reported by
347 - Add \n to hosts.access reject message.
348 - Implement security message class and make hosts.access message use
351 - Fix check_memory bug in ua_query.c, which gives a bus error on Solaris.
352 This affected only the query command.
354 - Added backup to cdwriter script to examples provided by Johan Decock.
355 - Fixed a bug where ls really did lsmark (just invert command table
357 - Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name
358 by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under
359 it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller.
360 - Fix a deadlock situation in the new watchdog code where the
361 watchdog locks its semaphore, and attempts to lock the jcr_chain,
362 but another thread has locked the jcr_chain and wants to free a
363 watchdog, which tries to lock the watchdog semaphore -- deadlock!
364 Used read/write locks to solve the problem.
365 - Improved the error messages when I/O errors or buffer id errors
366 are detected, and prevent non-sense errors from being printed.
367 - Fix some incorrect messages in restore if no name is supplied
368 on the command line (e.g. pool= ).
369 - Add the third digit to the release version number.
371 - Add -l option to bls that causes it to ignore tape label errors.
373 - Correct problems with jobs scheduled at a later time by hand.
374 Missing unlock(), backward test on pthread_create status.
375 - Fix setip crash reported by Alan Brown.
376 - Create bacula.spec.in in SuSE directory from Scott.
377 - Fix missing unlock() in ua_status on access denial.
378 - Lots of little cleanups, improving jcr use_count debug printing.
379 - Add EMSG to mem_pool utilization statistics.
381 - New bacula.spec.in file from Scott
382 - Add Scott's spec file to the platforms/suse directory
383 - Modify configure.in to make platforms/suse/bacula.spec
384 - Do not allow a resource name to be specified twice.
386 2004-01-30 Version 1.33-30Jan04 Release
388 - Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without
389 opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive).
390 - Added Postgresql configure search libraries recommended by Alan Brown.
392 - Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the
393 arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly.
394 Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a
397 - I've noticed that the backups of Rufus, my development machine, can be
398 "stuck" for about 12 hours, then suddenly they run. In running the
399 debugger, I see that it was stuck on the select() statement waiting
400 for the Hello. Why this happens I am not sure. I re-organized the code
401 a bit because it didn't seem to be as robust as it could, but I cannot
403 - As a consequence of the above, I have implemented a new bsock timer that
404 can be started and stopped. This is based on Nic Bellamy's new watchdog
405 code. The timer is set with start_bsock_timer(bsock, timeout); If the
406 timeout expires, the bsock will be marked as timed_out and interrupted
407 with a pthread_kill() on the current thread.
408 - Added 5 minute bsock timers to all the opening Hello/authentication
409 exchanges between the various daemons.
411 - New spec file from Scott.
412 - New patch file from Scott for create_sqlite_database
413 - Fix crash in run command if invalid pool specified on the command line
414 and then the user cancels the Pool prompt.
415 - Separate Console and ConsoleFont resources in gnome2 conf files.
416 - Remove possibly bad ASSERTs from bnet.c
417 - Remove open() of device in dircmd.c, which fails on FreeBSD with
418 an autoloader -- thanks to Jesse Guardiani for this fix.
420 - Remove all "hostname -s" from configure except for RedHat. Use uname -n instead.
421 - Implement SetIP command.
422 - Implement Close On Poll in Device resource on SD.
423 - Implement Full, Inc, and Diff Pools.
424 - Implement Access control lists for Consoles.
426 - Define default working_dir as /var/bacula/working.
427 - Implement setip console command to set new IP address for a Client.
429 - Implement maximum network buffer size directives.
430 - Good first cut at access control lists for the console.
431 - Optimize restore to select only latest Differential backup after
432 the Full, and then all following Incremental backups. Previously
433 everything after Full was selected.
435 - Organize kernstodo a bit (more to be done).
436 - Add client IP address to BSOCK structure.
437 - Use bit fields where appropriate in BSOCK structure.
438 - Pass UAContext to ua authenticate in Director, and make it
439 set the appropriate console (or NULL for none).
440 - Tweak restore "run" argument handling and add "files" keyword.
441 - Add device name or Volume name to some SD messages.
443 - First cut multiple consoles.
446 - Add quit command to restore tree handler.
447 - Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and
448 in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link.
449 mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster.
450 - Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore.
451 - Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line
453 - Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of
455 - Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in
456 question and do not do a recursive descent.
457 - Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to
458 be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories
459 are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only
460 the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree.
461 - Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than
462 just taking the first one.
464 - Update copyright date on changed files.
465 - Make mark command in restore tree run *much* faster by accessing database only
466 if the file actually is hard linked -- determined at time tree it built by
467 keeping a has_link bit in the tree entry.
469 - Modify findlib/makepath.c to create all parent directories with full permissions.
470 This should solve the access problems on restoring files on Win32 systems.
471 - Modify restore to report **** Restore Error **** if any error are found.
472 I.e. a file could not be created.
473 - Change a few errors into warnings -- e.g. if permissions could not be set, but
474 the file is actually restored.
476 - Replace bsd_queue with dlist in lib/watchdog.c
477 - Add Date: header to bsmtp. Thanks to Meno Abels (abels) on SourceForge
479 - Remove ap==NULL check in src/lib/var.c as suggested by Christoph Barbian
480 because ap (va_list) is a struct on the Alpha, so the code does not
483 - Implement first cut of polling for a Volume. New Device directive
484 "Volume Poll Interval = xxx" where xxx is a time specification
485 (e.g. 5min). Default is off.
486 - Call pthread_cancel on SD msgchan only if the threadid is non-zero.
488 - Change RH autostart scripts to start in Dan's order.
490 2004-01-06 Version 1.33-06Jan04 Release
492 - Correct calculation of week of month in scheduler and in scheduled
495 - Fix cancel of job waiting on mount to be a bit cleaner.
497 - Fix seg fault -- don't close db in db_open_database(). It must explicitly
500 - Allow purge of a single JobId from a Volume (code untested)
501 - Implement fix to keep SD from looping complaining about the wrong volume
502 at the end of a tape -- reported by Phil, and fix confirmed by him. I cannot
503 seem to reproduce the bug here.
504 - Clean up a few more strcpy()s.
506 - Fix configure.in FD User print per Lars.
508 - New bacula.spec.in from Scott. Nice!
509 - Make RunAfterJob non-fatal if it errs since the Job has really
510 already completed the save.
511 - Replace sprintf with bsnprintf in message.c
513 - Note, this change affects only the Win32 FD.
514 - Fixed Win32 FD crash due to missing argument in status command. It
515 always crashed if there was a job that had previously run. Thanks to
516 Christopher Hull for finding and diagnosing this problem.
518 - Fix SELECT as indicated by Dan in sql_get.c for returning Volume names.
519 - Fix last_jobs list crash for utility programs (btape, ...).
520 - Correct editing of FileSet name into SQL command.
521 - Allow calling watchdog stop without initialization for utility programs.
522 - Enhance btape test by attempting to forward space past the end of the tape.
523 - Detect CAP_FASTFSF in btape test as possible reason for failure.
524 - Attempt to prevent infinite loops in fsf_dev() if device not properly
526 - Attempt to get correct file number on tape after backspacing at EOM. The
527 correction should resolve differences in OS tape driver implementations.
528 - Add ctl-c detection to bconsole. When reading from tty, interrupts any
529 output from Bacula, when reading from a file, it terminates the reading
530 and returns possibly exiting if it is a batch job.
531 - Create devel_bacula.in script and make it configure itself. Very similar
532 to the new bacula.in.
533 - Modify bacula.in to have separate file locations for each daemon -- makes
534 it easier to make a new devel_bacula.in when there are changes.
535 - Remove old config files when rebuilding configure to avoid error msgs.
536 - Fix btape "test" to respect TWO EOF.
537 - Fix fsf_dev() to use system notion of file if it is valid after bsf_dev().
538 - Move btraceback.gdb to scripts directory on installl.
539 - Add new mandrake bacula.spec.in
541 - Find commonset of c_iflags that work with FreeBSD tcsetattr on terminals.
542 - Remove comments from string concatenation -- doesn't work on FreeBSD
544 - Moderately improve bpipe_close() errors. Must rethink status return.
545 - Eliminate some Emsgs in favor of Jmsgs.
547 - Add optional Pool keyword on restore command line. If specified, the pool
548 used will be restricted to the specified pool.
549 - "Finish" implementation of JobDefs.
550 - Fix directory for chmod of cats scripts.
552 - Implement foreach_res() #define and start replacing old code.
553 - Work some more on jobdefs -- more to be done.
554 - Implement bstrftime_nc() bstrftime with no century.
555 - Fix static console problem in gnome2 and gnome directories reported by Alan
557 - Add code to test for valid Resource Names. Permitted characters are now
558 alpha, numeric, colon, period, minus, underscore, space.
559 - Turnoff some unused code in timers.c
560 - Start adding code to dev.c to prevent infinite loops if fast forward space
561 file (MTFSF) is configured on but not properly supported by OS.
563 - Sort FileSet selection list by CreateTime.
564 - Add "lsmark", and "estimate" to tree routines.
565 - Doing a mark or unmark now prints how many entries were changed.

1087 it pointed out a bug where the directory tree handling code destroyed
1088 the restore arg list.
1089 - Many updates to the manual.
1090 - Pass prefix links flag to FD.
1091 - Sort list of commands for Console
1092 - Set default FD and SD concurrent jobs to 10.
1093 - Rework the find next volume code in catreq.c to correct some minor
1094 but subtle logic errors and to eliminate a goto.
1095 - Did spell check on manual.
1096 - Removed bindtextdomain() as it conflicted with RH8.0 headers
1097 - Fixed parse_args to pass address of POOLMEM struct.
1098 - Constrain FileIndexes written to BSR to be within range of Volume.
1099 - Suppress writing volumes to BSR if they are not actually referenced.
1100 - Make FOPTS use alist for match and base entries.
1101 - Pass prefix_links to SD.
1102 - Add command line interface to most items in "update volume=xxx"
1103 - Add command line interface to restore "jobid", "current", "before", "all".
1104 - Add command line "yes" to run command to supress prompt.
1105 - In new alist code, free only if allocated.
1106 - Overload [] with get() code for alist.
1107 - Fixed the code that wrote FirstIndex and LastIndex to the database. It
1108 was not correct at the end of a volume (basically included indexes in
1110 - Fixed bscan to work with the new code and to properly build JobMedia
1112 - Added code to the read end of block.c to properly track Volume bytes,
1113 blocks, and files. I thought this was not necessary, but it is critical
1114 for bscan to work correctly.
1115 - Modified read_record to properly track First/LastIndex -- needed by
1117 - Eliminated some old Volume write code.
1118 - Changed RecycleOldestVolume to PurgeOldestVolume
1119 - Added what I hope are the "final" touches for Win32 stuff. There
1120 are still a lot of annoying little problems.
1121 - Added the "portable=yes/no" option to Include. If set, it disables
1122 use of BackupRead/Write for Win32, so in principle, the data should
1124 - Pulled in more recent config.sub and config.guess from /usr/share/libtool
1125 - Replaced the system fgets() by a Bacula version that ignores
1126 interrupts (i.e. signals). This truncated output from child processes.
1127 - Make file_index int32_t everywhere.
1128 - Moved LinkFI into ATTR structure. Also integrated data_stream there too.
1129 - Moved code that sets the stream for writing into create_file.
1130 - Removed a signal(SIG_IGN, SIGCHLD) from dird.c that prevented getting
1131 the status of child processes. This allowed removing the FreeBSD
1132 kludge to bpipe.c -- the status is now obtained correctly.
1133 - Hand scan the stream header that arrives in append.c to avoid machine
1134 dependencies of sscanf().
1135 - Implemented code to put Data stream in Attributes record.
1136 - Check if data stream is supported, if not, ignore.
1137 - Fix crash when multiple Includes are given (missing parens).
1138 - Clear WroteVol in askdir.c when JobMedia record is created.
1139 - Implement simple array list class for use in Bacula. New files
1140 are lib/list.c lib/list.h. Probably will not use until version 1.32.
1142 2003-06-24 Version 1.31 Beta 22Jun03
1143 - Change Purging Oldest Volume message to Recycling Oldest Volume.
1144 - Limit results from find_oldest_volume to one.
1145 - Fix possible buffer overrun in the restore tree handling routines.
1146 - Fixed a crash in VerifyToVolume because I moved the close_db()
1147 down into the free_ua_context() and should not have done so.
1148 - At a "var" command in the Console that does variable expansion and
1150 - Implement first cut of estimate command.
1151 - Change find_next_volume() for oldest to use LastWritten instead of
1152 FirstWritten -- also add Append to volumes slected.
1153 - Do normal recycling before checking for RecycleOldestVolume.
1154 - Implemented block rejection on read. This should make restores run
1155 much faster. Next release will have block positioning -- even faster.
1156 - Very preliminary support for Gnome-2.0. Text does not yet work.
1157 - Correct buffer corruption in find_one.c with long directory names (Win32).
1158 - Make setting owner on directories M_ERROR rather than M_WARNING.
1159 - Fix printing of JobId in run listing for restore job.
1160 - Reduce heartbeat read check interval to every 10 seconds on Cygwin because
1161 there is no working pthread_kill().
1162 - I finally designed a test for multiple simultaneous jobs,
1163 and sure enough it broke when the jobs are split over multiple
1164 volumes. Now fixed and working!
1165 - Eliminated a few "duplicate" error messages by testing for canceled.
1166 - Add ASSERT for device use count going negative.
1167 - Fix BlockNumber checking in stored/read.c (got first one wrong).
1168 - If socket is timed out, do a shutdown(fd,2) instead of close().
1169 - Fixed return status from SD to FD by setting JobStatus in append_end()
1170 - Add arrays to Environment variables. Elements separated by |.
1171 - Implement Reschedule On Error, Reschedule Interval, Reschedule Times.
1172 - Add a new pool PM_NAME -- gets a name length buffer.
1173 - Implement fast cancel of FD blocked on writing to SD by using
1174 pthread_cancel(). Turned off on Cygwin due to bug.
1175 - Add code to handle EAGAIN in writing (probably not necessary). Use
1177 - Eliminate size_t from pool control buffers.
1178 - Complete Counter resource.
1179 - Complete LabelFormat (except for WrapCounter) plus counter
1181 - This needs a database change to eliminate PoolId from counters.
1182 - Made a more compact format for the document index.
1183 - Add Phil's checkhost to examples directory (thanks Phil).
1184 - Implement generalized LabelFormat (documentation to come).
1185 - Implement Counter resource.
1186 - Cleanup examples/kernsconfig
1187 - Implement restore to a specific date.
1188 - Fixed a but in automatic labeling (and use durations expiring) analysed
1189 and reported by Rob Proffitt (thanks!).
1190 - Cleaned up a few Cygwin compile problems.
1191 - Made a 10Jun03 release (it is in production here)
1192 - Finally took the big plunge and fixed restoration of links and other
1193 files that have been changed between the backup and restore. Basically
1194 if the file exists, it is deleted, then re-created.
1195 - Purge only Volumes marked Append, Full, Used, or Error.
1196 - Allow pruning of volumes marked Append, in addition to Full and Used.
1199 2003-06-10 Version 1.31 Beta 10Jun03
1200 - Eliminated all plain email addresses and replaced them with " at " in
1201 place of @ to reduce havesting by spammers. Doc + Web Site.
1202 - Started working on making POOLMEM a struct rather than a char. Lots of
1204 - Fixed bscan to handle -V option.
1205 - Fixed bscan to handle two File volumes.
1206 - Corrected a misplaced comma it get_fileset() in cats pointed out by bscan.
1207 - Added two Volume bscan test to regression scripts -- write two volumes,
1208 purge and delete everything, bscan the tapes, and do a restore. It works!
1209 - Reorganized the backup/restore code to move the attribute information into
1210 an ATTR packet, which is passed in place of tons of arguments. Moved some
1211 code into lib/attr.c and lib/attr.h. Then eliminated all the duplicate
1213 - Moved FT_ types into baconfig.h.
1214 - Defined FT_ types to use only 16 bits. The upper half of the word is
1215 reserved for adding optional fields in the attributes packet.
1216 - Moved jcr->where into common part of jcr and have it deleted in lib/jcr.c
1217 - Put all attribute reading code on switch() with cases instead of a big
1218 if (restore.c, bls.c, bextract.c, bscan.c, ...)
1219 - set_attributes() now takes ATTR packet, and thus has much fewer args.
1220 - moved print_ls_output() into lib/attr.c
1221 - implemented is_stream_supported().
1222 - create_file() now takes ATTR packet so has many fewer args.
1223 - add mtime_only code.
1224 - Rewrote bnet.c read and write routines to quit if bsock->terminated is
1225 set. This will allow setting non-blocking writes and then receiving
1226 a termination message and terminating the Job immediately rather than
1227 waiting 2 hours for the line to timeout.
1228 - Put catalog db name in some error messages.
1229 - Code for restore is now much cleaner, with much of it in lib/attr.c,
1230 and it is now common for all readers.
1231 - Add first cut of proper support for Win32 Backup code.
1232 - Fix bug in restore Win95/98/Me.
1233 - Pass mtime_only flag to FD. Needs config record.
1235 2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
1236 - Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
1237 suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
1238 - Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
1239 - Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
1240 the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
1241 and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
1242 inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
1244 - A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
1245 - Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
1246 - Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
1247 into Pool record on create/updated.
1248 - Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
1249 - Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
1250 - Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
1251 - Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
1252 - Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
1253 values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
1254 - Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
1255 a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
1256 - Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
1257 - Eliminate old "new lock code".
1258 - Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
1259 - Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
1260 - StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
1261 - Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
1262 - Unified return status message for backup and restore.
1263 - Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
1265 - Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
1266 to the Console -- reported by Dan.
1267 - Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
1268 - Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
1269 - Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
1271 - Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
1272 subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
1273 - Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
1275 - Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
1276 - Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
1277 - Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
1278 - Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
1279 - Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
1280 by overloading the global operators.
1281 - Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
1282 - Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
1284 - Started using "bool" where possible.
1285 - Zap SD session key once it is used.
1286 - Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
1287 - Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
1289 - Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
1290 - Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
1291 - Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
1292 - Incremented the database version.
1293 - Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
1295 - Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
1296 - Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
1297 - Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
1298 - Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
1299 - Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
1300 - Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
1301 - Remove all Slot invalidation code.
1302 - Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
1303 - Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
1304 - Clean up a few error messages.
1305 - Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
1306 - Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
1307 - Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
1308 - Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
1309 work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
1310 numbers are properly written.
1311 - Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
1312 - Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
1313 mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
1314 directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
1315 in a later version).
1316 - Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
1317 - Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
1318 - Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
1319 - Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
1320 messages are immediately displayed.
1321 - Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
1322 - Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
1323 false matches are found -- much check writing end.
1324 - Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
1325 - It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
1326 Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
1327 know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
1328 The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
1329 sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
1330 always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
1332 - Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
1333 - Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
1334 the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
1335 - Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
1336 glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
1337 - I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
1338 It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
1340 - Remove unused default tape drive names.
1341 - Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
1343 2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
1344 - I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
1345 a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
1346 favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
1347 - Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
1348 - Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
1349 - Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
1351 - Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
1353 - Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
1354 - Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
1355 - Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
1356 - Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
1358 2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
1359 - Add mandrake to platforms
1360 - Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.
1361 - Suck up bootstrap file even on error so that Dir sees our error message.
1362 - Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
1363 - Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
1364 - Echo input read from a script in Console.
1365 - Clarify error message for VerifyToCatalog
1366 - Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
1367 - Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
1368 - Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
1369 - Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
1370 - Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
1371 as reported by Phil.
1372 - Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
1373 - Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
1374 - Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
1375 - Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
1376 - Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
1377 - Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
1378 - Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
1379 - Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
1380 - Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
1381 - Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
1382 - Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
1383 - Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
1384 - Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
1385 - Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
1386 - Add where to restore where=/tmp
1387 - Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
1388 must implement new streams in SD.
1389 - Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
1390 - Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
1392 - Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
1393 work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
1394 - Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
1395 - Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
1396 - Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.
1397 - Detect strtoll() in configure.
1398 - Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
1399 - Add platform files for BSDI.
1400 - Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
1401 - Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
1402 - Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
1403 - Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
1404 - Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
1405 - Add doc to code in autoprune.
1406 - Begin adding Level = Base.
1407 - Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
1408 - Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
1409 - Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.
1410 - New bacula.spec from Scott
1411 - Add globals for database name and version and print them in traceback.
1412 - Eliminate SubSysDirectory in each daemon conf file.
1413 - Implement get_yesno() and get_pint() in UA.
1414 - Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
1415 - Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
1416 - Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
1417 - Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
1418 - A number of minor code cleanups.
1419 - Rework shell expansion just a bit.
1420 - Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
1421 - Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
1422 - Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
1424 - Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
1425 - Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
1426 only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
1427 so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
1428 as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
1429 - Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
1431 - John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
1432 was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
1433 always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
1434 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
1435 - Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
1436 - Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
1437 - Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
1439 - The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
1440 that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
1441 Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
1442 - Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
1443 stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
1444 - Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
1445 any possible confusion.
1446 - Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
1447 job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
1448 - Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
1449 there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
1450 from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
1451 - Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
1452 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
1453 SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
1454 - Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
1455 the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
1456 - Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
1458 - First cut label dialog.
1459 - Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
1460 - Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
1461 - Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
1462 - Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
1463 - All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
1464 - Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
1465 - Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
1466 - Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
1467 - Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
1468 to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
1469 - Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
1470 btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
1471 - Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
1472 Using this script prevents generating error messages.
1473 - Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
1474 - Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
1475 - Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
1476 - Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
1477 implement individual Console authorization).
1479 2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
1480 - Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
1481 - Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
1482 be immediately terminated in all cases.
1483 - The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
1484 - Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
1485 - Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
1486 - Add -v to daemon startup scripts
1487 - Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
1488 - Implement When for "run" command.
1489 - Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
1491 - Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
1492 do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
1493 - Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
1494 wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
1495 - Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
1496 - Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
1497 - Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
1498 - Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
1499 work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
1500 - Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
1501 - Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
1503 - Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
1504 in the console rather than in the Director.
1505 input - read input from a file
1506 output - write output to file
1507 tee - tee output to file and terminal
1508 time - print current time
1509 version - print current version
1512 - Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
1513 Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
1514 - By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
1515 not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
1517 - Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
1518 - Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
1519 - Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
1521 - OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
1522 I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
1523 Volume names! Arrrggggg!
1524 - Lots of documentation of new features.
1525 - Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
1526 and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
1527 - Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
1528 - Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
1529 - Implement default File output in config files so user can start
1530 saving right away without a tape drive.
1531 - Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
1532 - Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
1533 - Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
1534 are implemented in the Director.
1535 - Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
1536 against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
1537 This includes files moved or copied.
1538 Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
1539 - On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
1540 and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
1541 unusable directory names containing both conventions.
1542 - Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
1543 - Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
1544 - label barcodes now works.
1545 - Implemented "update slots".
1546 - Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
1547 - Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
1548 - Update alter_mysql_tables.in
1549 - More work on barcodes.
1550 - Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
1551 there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
1552 - First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
1553 anything but return the list to the Director.
1554 - Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
1555 - Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
1556 - Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
1557 - Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
1558 - Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
1559 - Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
1560 instead of horizontally.
1561 - Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
1562 - Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
1563 - Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
1564 - Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
1565 - Lots of new documentation.
1566 - Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
1567 - Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
1568 - Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
1569 - Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
1570 - Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
1571 - Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
1572 - Update client every time a job is run.
1573 - Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
1574 - Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
1575 - Release new depkgs
1576 - Release new winbacula.
1577 - Add Uname info to Client DB record.
1578 - Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
1579 Device is requested.
1580 - Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
1581 are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
1582 dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
1584 - Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
1585 - Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
1586 - Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
1587 - Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
1588 - Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
1589 There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
1590 the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
1591 looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
1592 leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
1593 to be able to append.
1594 - Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
1595 at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
1596 - Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
1597 it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
1598 detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
1599 finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
1600 - Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
1601 - Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
1602 certain autochangers.
1603 - Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
1604 - Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
1605 warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
1606 - Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
1607 - Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
1608 Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
1610 - Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
1612 - Final cygwin tweaks.
1613 - Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
1614 - Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
1615 did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
1616 dealing with bad input.
1617 - Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
1618 before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
1619 - Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
1620 - Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
1621 of signal and counting the waiters.
1622 - Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
1623 - #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
1624 - Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
1625 - Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
1626 Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
1627 Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
1628 to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
1629 - Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
1630 variables during recycling.
1631 - Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
1632 VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
1633 - When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
1634 database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
1635 - Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
1636 for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
1638 - Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
1639 - Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
1640 "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
1641 - List Pool record after doing "update pool".
1642 - Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
1643 - Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
1644 - Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
1645 - Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
1646 callers want a new Volume name.
1647 - Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
1648 - Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
1649 - Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
1651 - Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
1652 from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
1654 - Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
1655 This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
1656 written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
1657 have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
1659 - Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
1660 - Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
1661 client not available.
1662 - Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
1663 caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
1665 - Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
1666 - Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
1667 - Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
1668 - Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
1669 - Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
1670 (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
1671 to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
1673 - Back out the __SVR4 changes.
1674 - Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
1675 - Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
1676 open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
1677 fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
1678 - Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
1679 - Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
1680 - Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
1682 - Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
1683 have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
1685 - Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
1686 - Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
1687 now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
1688 - WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
1689 remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
1690 - Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
1691 - Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
1692 - Second cut of FileOptions.
1693 - First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
1694 - Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
1695 - Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
1696 I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
1697 - Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
1698 - Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
1699 - Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
1700 use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
1701 - When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
1702 fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
1703 terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
1704 - Added first cut support for Darwin.
1705 - Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
1706 - Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
1707 creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
1708 - Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
1709 - Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
1710 - Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
1711 - Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
1712 - Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
1713 - All changing Pool in console run command.
1714 - Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
1715 return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
1716 - Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
1717 - Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
1718 - Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
1719 - Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
1720 - Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
1721 from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
1722 - Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
1723 - Edit space before each line in gconsole.
1724 - Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
1725 - Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
1726 - Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
1727 - Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
1728 - Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
1729 - Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
1730 - Use unmask of 022 or more restive
1731 - Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
1732 - Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
1734 - Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
1735 - Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
1736 - Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
1737 - Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
1738 - Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
1740 =============================================================================
1741 2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
1743 - Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
1746 - Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
1747 prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
1748 FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
1749 - Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
1750 - Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
1751 - Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
1752 but at least dumps will work).
1754 - Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
1755 - Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
1756 - Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
1757 - Added pthread btimer routines.
1758 - Added timer to FIFO open statement
1759 - George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
1760 On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
1761 mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
1763 - Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
1764 previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
1766 - Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
1767 makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
1768 - Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
1769 difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
1770 Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
1771 that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
1772 label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
1774 - Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
1775 add empty buffer flag).
1777 - Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
1778 - Zap SD authorization code after use.
1779 - Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
1782 - Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
1783 every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
1784 db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
1785 exactly the same structure.
1786 - More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
1787 - Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
1788 of cleanup in message.c
1789 - Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
1790 vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
1791 - Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
1792 order will be correct.
1793 - Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
1794 a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
1795 Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
1796 - My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
1797 under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
1798 message.c where I was extending the message string by two
1799 characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
1800 - Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
1801 in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
1802 - Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
1803 to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
1804 - Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
1805 after the current time -- slow process ...
1807 - Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
1808 - Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
1809 but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
1811 - Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
1812 - My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
1813 hardware problems because running by hand or under the
1814 debugger always works -- we will see.
1815 - Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
1817 - Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
1819 - Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
1820 - Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
1821 - Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
1822 - Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
1823 - My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
1824 I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
1825 jobs finished correctly.
1826 - In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
1827 were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
1828 code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
1829 print the full path name.
1830 - I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
1831 a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
1832 duplicate filenames or paths.
1834 - During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
1835 detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
1836 fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
1838 - Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
1839 of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
1840 - It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
1841 mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
1842 of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
1843 now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
1845 - George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
1846 that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
1847 FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
1848 are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
1849 - Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
1850 Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
1851 Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
1854 - Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
1855 in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
1857 - Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
1858 realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
1861 - Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
1862 Scott Medlock for reporting this.
1863 - Made | and < work.
1864 - Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
1865 the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
1868 - Started implementing | and < on Include names.
1869 - Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
1871 =============================================================================
1872 2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
1873 - Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
1874 reported by James MacLean.
1875 - Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
1876 being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
1877 James MacLean for reporting this.
1879 =============================================================================
1880 2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
1881 - Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
1883 =============================================================================
1884 2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
1886 - Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
1887 - Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
1888 it as the development goes on.
1889 - Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
1890 previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
1891 - Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
1892 - Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
1893 - Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
1894 - Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
1897 Changes submitted this submission:
1899 - Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
1901 - Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
1902 deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
1903 to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
1904 - Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
1906 - Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
1907 - Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
1908 splitting path from file).
1910 - Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
1911 in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
1912 is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
1914 - Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
1915 - Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
1916 - Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
1918 - Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
1919 - Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
1920 handle shorts and long longs.
1922 - Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
1923 - Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
1924 - Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
1925 - Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
1926 that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
1929 - Added more rescue documentation.
1930 - Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
1931 - Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
1932 configuration file as the default.
1934 - Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
1935 the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
1938 - Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
1939 the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
1940 resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
1941 fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
1943 - Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
1944 - Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
1945 - Added skeleton freebsd rescue
1946 - Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
1947 - Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
1949 - Documented Bare Metal Recovery
1950 - Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
1951 - Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
1952 was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
1953 I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
1955 - Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
1956 - Fix installation mv of query.sql.
1957 - Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
1958 - Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
1960 - Started adding FileOptions ...
1961 - Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
1962 - Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
1963 - Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
1964 - Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
1965 - Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
1966 - Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
1967 block before writing and upon read back.
1968 - Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
1969 - Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
1970 contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
1971 - Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
1972 static versions of the daemons.
1974 - The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
1975 using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
1976 is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
1977 to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
1978 blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
1979 It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
1980 to help guide the user.
1981 - Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
1983 - Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
1984 the timer expires, the child process is killed.
1985 - Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
1986 - Added a new test to the btape "test" command
1988 - More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
1989 - Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
1990 - Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
1992 - Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
1993 - Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
1994 - Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
1995 - Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
1996 in the restore Console command.
1997 - Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
1998 tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
1999 both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
2000 - Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
2002 - Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
2004 - Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
2005 new lib/edit.c file.
2007 - Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
2008 that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
2009 Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
2010 - Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
2011 examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
2013 - If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
2014 - Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
2015 specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
2016 position specification in front of a day. So if you say
2020 the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
2021 day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
2022 This code is untested.
2023 - Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
2024 pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
2025 as well as getting info from them.
2026 - Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
2028 - The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
2029 error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
2030 - Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
2032 - Improved error messages in smtp.
2034 =============================================================================
2035 2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
2036 - This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
2037 as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
2039 2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
2040 - Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
2041 make tables. No code change, just a make file.
2043 2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
2044 - Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
2046 2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
2047 - Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
2049 2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
2051 General: from kes25Nov02
2052 - Mostly Cygwin changes
2054 Changes submitted this submission:
2055 - Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
2056 - dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
2057 - attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
2058 to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
2059 statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
2060 number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
2061 - Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
2062 - Build testfind as default.
2063 - Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
2065 General: from kes21Nov02
2066 - Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
2067 your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
2068 the src/cats directory.
2070 Changes submitted this submission:
2071 - Additional documentation.
2072 - Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
2073 - Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
2074 - Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
2075 - Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
2076 - Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
2077 - Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
2078 This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
2079 - Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
2080 based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
2081 resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
2082 - Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
2083 - Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
2084 prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
2085 - Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
2086 both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
2087 This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
2088 the SQL noted above.
2089 - In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
2090 - Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
2091 - Check the full string including \n in authorization.
2092 - Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
2093 - Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
2094 - Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
2096 - Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
2098 - Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
2099 - Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
2100 - Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
2101 - Add Pool attribute query
2102 - Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
2103 - More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
2105 General: from kes18Nov02
2106 - Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
2107 and prevent buffer overflows.
2109 Changes submitted this submission:
2110 - Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
2111 jobs get the correct address.
2112 - Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
2113 - Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
2114 - Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
2115 - Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
2116 database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
2118 General: from kes13Nov02
2119 - You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
2120 ./alter_mysql_tables
2122 ./alter_sqlite_tables
2123 in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
2124 - Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
2126 Changes submitted this submission:
2127 - Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
2128 when a tape can be marked Used.
2129 - New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
2130 - Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
2131 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
2132 - Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
2133 database. Incremented db version.
2134 - Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
2135 - Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
2136 FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
2137 - Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
2138 perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
2139 it for MySQL. What a pain!
2140 - Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
2141 - Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
2143 - Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
2144 - Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
2146 General: from kes09Nov02
2147 - Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
2148 gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
2149 as well as a standard page size.
2150 - Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
2151 and much better organization and presentation of the information.
2152 - Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
2153 size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
2155 Changes submitted this submission:
2156 - Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
2157 previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
2159 - Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
2160 - ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
2162 - Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
2163 -i option. I have not tested it.
2165 General: from kes30Oct02
2166 - Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
2167 - bacula stript fixes.
2168 - Segment fault in Director fixed.
2169 - Added openbsd to platforms
2171 Changes submitted this submission:
2172 - GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
2173 is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
2174 However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
2175 files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
2176 testing was missing.
2177 - During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
2178 FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
2179 selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
2180 confusing for the user, but ...
2181 - Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
2182 - I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
2184 - Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
2185 - Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
2186 that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
2187 where the Director seg faulted.
2189 General: from kes29Oct02
2190 - Major change to the bnet communications routines.
2192 Changes submitted this submission:
2193 - Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
2194 now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
2195 - Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
2196 - Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
2198 - Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
2199 - Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
2200 - Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
2201 - Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
2202 - Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
2203 and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
2204 - Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
2205 previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
2206 bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
2208 - Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
2210 - Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
2211 - Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
2212 Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
2213 - Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
2214 it was a network error.
2215 - Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
2216 and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
2217 console.exe to the release.
2218 - Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
2219 was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
2220 detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
2222 General: from kes23Oct02
2223 - I have mainly worked on getting all the details of a Restore
2224 to work correctly (new tape format, support for Win32
2226 - Trademarked name Bacula.
2227 - Implement Bacula tape format 11 (1.0 Immortal). This format
2228 will be maintained forever.
2229 - Accept Any Volume is yes by default. This modifies Bacula's behavior
2232 Changes submitted this submission:
2233 - Corrected a bug on FreeBSD where CFLAGS would get a "yes". I was
2234 unable to reproduce this, but a user confirmed the correction.
2235 It was a problem with detection of largefile support, which FreeBSD
2237 - Added a new "license" chapter in the manual. Re-licensed a number of
2238 library routines (bnet.c, hmac.c md5.c, cram-md5, ...) with LGPL so that they
2239 can be used in proprietary software to access Bacula if so desired.
2240 - Move Director's AutoChanger doc to correct location (in Storage
2242 - Document why trademark (to protect compatibility).
2243 - Implement and turned on Bacula tape format 11 (also BB02). This
2244 format moves the VolSessionId and VolSessionTime from each record
2245 header into the Block header. This is MUCH more efficient when reading
2246 records as now whole blocks can be skipped.
2247 Also added JobStatus in End Of Session record, and added MD5 for
2248 FileSet, which is necessary to insure uniqueness.
2249 - Implement a new Bacula time format for btime_t. It is Epoch time
2250 in microseconds (i.e. base 1 Jan 1970 in microseconds).
2251 This replaces previous floating point times.
2252 - Added Win32 extended attributes. In doing so, I moved all attribute
2253 handling from src/lib into src/findlib. Added new streams for
2254 Win32 attributes and for GZIP Win32 attributes.
2255 - Modified "Accept Any Volume" so that it really permits any volume
2256 in the pool to be mounted.
2257 - Removed "Mount Anonymous Volumes" from Storage daemon config.
2258 - Implemented sparse files. You must add "sparse=yes" on the include line
2259 for it to be enabled.
2260 - Print "None" in backup summary rather than 0.0% if there is no compression
2262 - Improved error checking in daemon connection/authentication code to prevent
2263 garbage data from harming a Bacula daemon.
2264 - All daemon tools MUST have a config file.
2265 - Completely strip drive specification on Win32 if a Where prefix is specified.
2266 - Corrected DB info for writing to files. Now the File Address is stored
2267 in File-Block variables in the catalog.
2268 - All Storage daemon tools now use common code for acquiring/reading
2270 - If a device is unmounted, report it even if the device is not open. This
2271 will help inform users who have BLOCKED Bacula by unmounting a drive.
2274 =============================================================================
2275 2002-10-12 Version 1.26 (10Oct02)
2276 General: from kes10Oct02
2277 - Changed Job name conventions to avoid : which is an illegal
2278 character on Windows.
2280 Changes submitted this submission:
2281 - Added check for inet_pton to configure.in. If it does not
2282 exist (e.g. Windows) use inet_aton
2283 - Documentation on GZIP.
2284 - Another restore doc example.
2285 - Documented btape fill command.
2286 - Set default restore directory from /tmp to /tmp/bacula-restores
2287 - Add additional no find error messages to sql_get.c
2288 - Creating a bootstrap file on Windows failed because the Job name
2289 contained colons which are illegal on Windows. Replaced the
2290 colons with periods. This corrects the Windows restore problem.
2291 - Print number of files to be restored in "restore" command.
2292 - On Windows systems, if there is a prefix, completely eliminate
2293 any drive: at the beginning of a path.
2294 - Minor corrections to the tree routines to handle Windows
2295 files such as c:/ better. Previously it insisted on /c:/, which
2296 would then not be found in the catalog for a "dir" command.
2297 - Modified cd command in restore to try /c: if c: fails.
2298 - Add a new S_ISWIN32 bit to the st_mode word so that low level
2299 routines that create files do not print error messages.
2300 - More work must be done to restore all Windows files correctly.
2301 Currently the following bits are not handled:
2305 Also, all the dates are not properly restored.
2307 General: from kes09Oct02
2308 - More documentation.
2309 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
2310 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
2313 Changes submitted this submission:
2314 - Added ReadBytes to JCR, which contains Job bytes read by
2315 FD, JobBytes contains compressed output of FD.
2316 - Modified FD to pass back JobStatus, ReadBytes, JobBytes, ...
2317 for backup jobs. This is upward compatible.
2318 - Modified backup termination status report to contain the
2319 compression ratio 100 * (1 - compressed-bytes/uncompressed-bytes)
2320 This will always be zero if no software compression was
2321 done, or if you are using a version 1.25 or older FD.
2322 - Pickup Job termination status of FD in backup, so now
2323 the termination status represents the state of all three
2325 - Implemented new fill command in btape that permits filling
2326 a tape and then reading it back to ensure that it works
2329 General: From kes06Oct02
2330 - Implemented first major cut of bscan -- program to scan a tape
2331 and recreate a Bacula catalog.
2332 - Fixed lseek() relative negative seek that prevented writing multiple
2333 jobs to a File volume.
2334 - Implemented BB02 tape format -- currently turned off for writing.
2336 Changes submitted this submission:
2338 - Implemented new BB02 tape format, which moves the VolSessionId and
2339 VolSessionTime from the record headers into the Block header. It
2340 is currently turned off.
2341 - Implemented new btime time/date format on the tape. This is currently
2343 - Added JobStatus to EOS tape label. This is currently turned off.
2344 - Changed start_block, ... to StartBlock in JCR for uniformity.
2345 - Print a message telling which tables were dropped/made with
2346 ./drop_bacula_tables.
2347 - Return JobType and JobLevel in db_get_job_record().
2348 - Implemented get_current_btime(), which returns btime_t.
2349 - Bump debug message max size to 2000 bytes.
2350 - Add btime_t serial/unserial routines.
2351 - Rework all tape label routines to integrate btime and other
2352 label format changes (currently turned off -- for writing).
2353 - Fix lseek() to always be positive -- block.c
2354 - Consolidate record, block, and label major #defines in block.h.
2355 - Major implementation of bscan. Some more minor tweaking will be
2356 necessary. E.g. add multiple records for multiple simultaneous
2358 - Cleanup lseek() to always use off_t as second argument.
2359 - Add new "created" tape label (EOT_LABEL). This generates a callback
2360 to the read_records() routine when the final end of all tapes is
2361 reached allowing proper termination and updating of the media records.
2363 General: From kes25Sep02
2364 - Added means to bind servers to specific address.
2367 Changes submitted this submission:
2368 - Added DirAddress, FDAddress, and SDAddress records to the corresponding
2369 resources that allow the server to bind to a specific address
2370 rather than any address. This security improvement was suggested by
2371 a user -- thank you.
2372 - Eliminated deprecated "Address" record from all sample Storage resources.
2373 - Made quite a lot of improvements to the bscan program. Much more
2374 to do. Aside from details, it is able to recreate a database
2375 from which you can do a restore.
2376 - The s option is not accepted on all versions of ar, so replaced it
2377 by an explicit ranlib call.
2378 - Fixed a bug that caused the Director to crash if you rudely bring
2379 down the console program in the middle of an SQL command.
2380 - Fixed a bug (missing break) that caused scheduled Admin jobs to
2381 be listed as "Unknown type".
2382 - Removed old code from Storage daemon that used a separate FD port.
2384 General: From kes14Sep02
2385 - Better key generation on non OpenSSL systems.
2386 - 64 bit file address support if available.
2387 - Implement autochanger for reading
2388 - Lots of cleanup of tape reading code.
2389 - Automatically create all Pool resources when Bacula starts.
2391 - Implement autochanger use via the Console commands "add" and "label"
2392 - Begin implementation of a regression script
2393 - Write bootstrap after ever job
2395 Changes submitted this submission:
2396 - After noticing that the non OpenSSL random key generator was
2397 not good on Solaris, John wrote a very nice randpass generator.
2398 - Integrated John's makeSessionKey for generating the FD->SD
2400 - Statically link tools (doesn't work on Solaris).
2401 - Document how to debug Bacula (new chapter in the manual)
2402 - Remove unneeded printing of error message in sql_get.c
2403 - Free SD description config record (previous oversight)
2404 - Bash spaces when sending Director names, and unbash them when
2406 - Ensure no divide by zero in rate computation in backup.c
2407 - Implement WriteBootstrap in backup.c
2408 - Allow tape reading to request volume information for any
2410 - Create all Pool resources at startup.
2411 - Show only Backup jobs in Restore listing of last 20 Jobs.
2412 - Handle 64 bit stat packets in restore.
2413 - Don't do shell expansion on store_dir in config if string
2414 starts with |. This is used for piping the program for the
2416 - Ignore SIGHUP -- Déjà Gnu was triggering this.
2417 - Implement autochanger for reading, many changes to
2418 acquire_device_for_read()
2419 - Implement callback for reading Volume. Implement in bextract,
2423 - Fix Volume in bsr.
2424 - Move autochanger code to new subroutine in mount.c
2426 =============================================================================
2427 2002-09-05 Version 1.25a (05Sep02) Released
2428 - Fix unitialized stack variable in bextract so it
2429 will always read the currently mounted tape.
2431 =============================================================================
2432 2002-09-04 Version 1.25 (01Sep02) Released
2434 - Added .cvsignore files in each directory to cut down on the
2435 CVS output when scanning directories and finding Makefiles
2436 and such which are not part of the CVS tree.
2438 Changes submitted this submission:
2439 - Cleaned up a lot of the error messages in Verify, including
2441 - Had to remove some of the "automatic" error message printing
2442 in the DB because they are in fact things that come up
2443 for Verify but not really errors.
2446 2002-08-30 Version 1.25 (30Aug02) Beta
2448 - Fixed a bug where only the first file was restored if
2449 it is hard linked. The other links were lost.
2450 - In some cases of restoring to alternate directories, softlinks
2451 were not properly restored.
2455 - Bacula backups now run up to 12 times faster than version 1.24
2456 - Bacula can run multiple simultaneous Jobs.
2457 - Had to turn off TRANSACTIONS in SQLite because it doesn't work
2458 with multiple simultaneous jobs (I'm working on this).
2459 - Added a better Job printout for Restore Jobs.
2460 - Added a save/restore Rate to backup and restore jobs. This
2461 does not yet subtract out operator wait time so it will be
2462 underestimated it the Job waits on the tape (mount/label).
2463 - Fixed a major bug caused by free()ing a buffer twice in
2464 the Restore code. This made the SD more or less useless after
2465 any restore Job. Arrggg!
2466 - DIR - SD protocol changed, both must be updated at the same time.
2467 - DIR - FD protocol changed in upward compatible way. Upgrade of
2468 FD not required, but recommended.
2470 Changes submitted this submission:
2471 - Added bell to "make" when errors are detected.
2472 - Changed default compile option from -g to -g -O2
2473 - Additional documentation as usual -- much based on questions or
2474 feedback from users. Thanks.
2475 - Fixed example config files to use new syntax and to have a
2477 - Define ETIME to ETIMEOUT for Irix
2478 - Added JCR filed to DB structure permitting direct printing error
2479 messages from within the Database subroutines.
2480 Some error messages may be printed twice as a consequence.
2481 When I see them or someone reports them, I will remove the double.
2482 - Added JCR to the bsock structure. This allows direct printing
2483 of network errors from within the network code.
2484 - Made most "trivial" debug messages have level 100 or greater. This
2485 allows for easier debugging of new code using the range below 100.
2486 - Began replacing all Emsg() with Jmsg() using a NULL as the JCR in
2487 Jmsg() is the same as Emsg().
2488 - Fixed several crashes in the Director because of malformed config files.
2489 - Added SpoolAttributes to Job resource.
2490 - Pass CatalogFiles to SD. If set to no, the attributes are dropped
2491 within the SD rather than being sent to the DIR.
2492 - Cleaned up a number of information/error messages in user interface.
2493 This includes eliminating the "pretty please" response in favor of
2494 "yes/no" to delete volumes and pools.
2495 - Cleaned up quite a number of uninitialized variables reported when going
2496 to -O2, most were harmless, but a couple could cause problems.
2497 - The cd command in restore was not working correctly (it didn't allow some
2499 - Fixed a segmentation violation in the directory tree handling code in
2500 the restore command.
2501 - Handle a few error conditions in the restore command better.
2502 - Permit "Where" to be set to nul in modification of a run command.
2503 - Clarified the error message for Verify if an InitCatalog has not previously
2504 been done -- thanks Chuck.
2505 - Add MaximumConcurrentJobs to FD.
2506 - Added code to mem_pool to die if a buffer is released twice.
2507 - Lots of work done on SD for multiple simultaneous jobs. Split device.c
2508 into device.c, mount.c and acquire.c
2509 - Started writing new lock code for SD, but may back it out -- needs more
2510 thought. Current code works, but is too complicated. Maybe can simplify it.
2511 - Cleaned up the SD tools code quite a bit. Added bootstrap to all tools.
2512 - Ensure that tape session labels are not split across two blocks. This makes
2513 reading them back much easier.
2514 - Fixed another restore bug concerning tape labels on multi-volume saves.
2516 =============================================================================
2517 2002-08-14 Version 1.24
2519 - Made a new tools directory.
2520 - Moved smtp into the tools directory.
2521 - Created a dbcheck program in the tools directory that
2522 checks for certain database errors and if requested fixes them.
2523 - Put the database link flags on DB_LIBS so that it now only is
2524 on binaries that actually need it.
2525 - Document dbcheck and testfind programs.
2526 - Move testfind to tools directory.
2527 - Check for FileSet after getting Client name in Restore command.
2528 Modify all necessary SQL commands to accept FileSetId.
2529 - Add a db_get_fileset_record in cats directory.
2530 - Correct list last 20 files concatenation to be MySQL
2531 dependent. They aren't SQL standard. Use SQL standard || for
2533 - Modify dir command in file selection to produce a long form
2534 listing of the file/directory name.
2535 - Add platforms/irix/*.in files to CVS
2536 - Make Console command scanner accept quoted value fields.
2537 - If after selecting Client to restore, there are multiple
2538 FileSets, ask user to select one.
2539 - After obtaining JobIds for restore, ensure that there is only
2540 one MediaType, and select a Storage resource to be used.
2543 - Made restore actually work.
2544 - Made console and gconsole be configured (requested by Chuck)
2546 - changed fs in Job record to fileset for clarity
2547 - The console run command was not properly picking up the command
2548 line arguments. Fixed!
2549 - Changed add/remove/rm to mark/unmark
2550 - Volume keyword VolumeName was wrong, changed to Volume (in restore bsr).
2551 - Pass jcr to parse_bsr, and if non-NULL, it will output error messages
2552 to Job stream rather than Emsg.
2553 - Modified lexical scanner to include caller context so that jcr can
2554 be stored in lex context allowing error messages to be properly
2556 - Renamed the Job message chain to be jcr_msgs. This eliminated the
2557 previous confusion with the default value, now named jcr->messages.
2558 - Implemented multi-volume bsr records.
2559 - Implemented pm_strcat() and pm_strcpy() to cat/add to memory pool
2560 buffers in same way as strcat/strcpy, but expanding buffer.
2561 - Modified db_get_volume_names to handle arbitrarily long Volume list.
2564 - If the Console program terminated during the printing of messages,
2565 the message file was left locked. This was corrected by using the
2566 new read-write lock code.
2567 - Implemented Pw() and Vw() for obtaining and releasing a write lock
2568 using the rwl_xxx routines.
2569 - Deleted some old pthread_mutex code from mysql.c
2570 - In making the Irix port, I previously corrected the base64 routine so
2571 they were not sensitive to the machine definition of char. This made
2572 them incompatible with previous versions invalidating MD5 signatures
2573 which are in base64 format. I have now corrected this, making the
2574 routines compatible with the previous version but also insensitive
2575 to the default definition of char.
2576 - Removed some unnecessary NPRT() usage in signal.c (pointed out by
2578 - Add back BNET_NONO for compatibility with older File daemons.
2579 - Implement runing a restore Job in the restore command.
2580 - Make installation of query.sql unconditional. To prevent you own file
2581 from being overwritten, give it a different name.
2582 - Made parse_command_args() in ua take command from ua->cmd, this
2583 simplifies it and allows usage in other places -- e.g. building
2584 arguments for created run command in restore.
2585 - Cleaned the naming of s_full_ctx to be s_jobids.
2586 - Write the bsr created in restore to "working-directory"/restore.bsr
2587 - Fix bugs in command line scanner in run command -- also some misplaced
2589 - Eliminate static cmd in ua_server.c
2590 - Eliminate segmentation fault when using the Run command in the
2591 Console -- forgot to init_msgs().
2594 - Did a good amount of documentation.
2595 - Added sql_cmds.c to CVS, forgot, pointed out by Chuck.
2596 - Added new platforms/irix directory to CVS
2597 - Turn off transaction debug code in sql.c
2598 - Reworked the scheduler so that it handles the same Job starting
2599 twice in the same hour. Previously it took one or the other.
2600 - Tightened up the "slop" in the timings that I programmed to ensure
2601 that the same job isn't run twice or that no job was missed.
2602 - Increase the sleep time.
2603 - Used job_type_to_str() in status so that Admin jobs are correctly reported.
2604 - Add internationalization message chars to a number of routines
2606 - Make the watchdog timer clear the mutex when it exits.
2607 - Some tweaks to the Restore command. It needs fixing when a Job spans
2608 two or more volumes.
2611 - Initial cut at adding Irix File daemon support.
2612 - Lots of work on the restore command.
2613 - Take a stab at eliminating the "broken pipe message"
2614 when the console program prematurely terminates.
2615 - Reimplemented transactions for SQLite by keeping
2616 them all in the same thread.
2617 - quit in the Console program now waits for Bacula to
2618 quit. To immediately quit, you must enter .quit
2619 - Eliminated BNET_EOF -- this COULD have some negative consequences
2620 on interdaemon communications.
2621 - Define Job termination status for Admin jobs.
2622 - Write new bstrncpy() function that guarantees that strcpy is
2623 properly terminated.
2624 - Fixed command input in ua_input.c to accept quoted items as a
2628 - The changes that added indexes to the SQLite database were
2629 lost -- thanks to Chuck for pointing this out. Redone.
2630 - Fixed a problem quoting strings in SQLite. This showed up
2631 as database errors with files containing ' or " in the filename.
2632 - Implemente restore command -- still in progress.
2633 - Added indexes to all fields in SQLite that exist in MySQL.
2634 - Moved unused immortal files from src/lib to src/immortal.
2635 This will permit splitting depkgs.
2636 - Started work on adding embedded MySQL. Cannot get the tables
2637 to work for the moment. Please don't try to use this option.
2638 - Convert to using single quotes for enclosing all strings.
2639 - Implement correct quoting algorithm for SQLite strings.
2640 Is dequoting needed?
2641 - Started centralizing SQL statments in the Director in sql_cmds.c
2642 - Changed a number of M_ABORTs to M_ERROR_TERM so that program terminates
2643 but does not produce a dump.
2644 - Allow wild-card matches in bsr for Client name, and Job.
2645 - Change OflineOnUnmount=no as default.
2646 - Fixed improper printing of filenames containing a space in bls.c
2647 Thanks to Carlos for reporting this.
2649 ===========================================================================
2650 2002-07-26 Release 1.23a
2651 - Fix segmentation fault is FD status.
2652 - Turn off TRANSACTIONs for SQLite.
2654 ===========================================================================
2655 2002-07-23 Release 1.23
2657 - Updated Bacula to handle some minor differences in MySQL 4.0.2
2658 (still works with older MySQLs).
2659 - Updated MySQL documentation to correct some minor errors.
2660 - Added kernstodo to CVS
2661 - Fixed create_mysql_database, which I recently accidently broke.
2662 - Disallow zero length volume names in Console program.
2663 - Create alter_mysql_tables and alter_sqlite_tables for conversion
2664 from 1.22 table format to 1.23 table format.
2667 - Investigation of SQLite performace problems reported by Chuck.
2670 - made root@localhost the default email address because many smtp
2671 servers reject root but accept root@localhost
2672 - Added an autochangers chapter to the manual.
2673 - Documented most of the new features in 1.23
2674 - Modified the SQLite interface code to start a transaction at the
2675 beginning of a job and commit it at the end of the job. It
2676 also commits it after 10000 changes. Hopefully this will
2677 improve performance.
2678 - Set the default cache pages from 2000 to 10000 for SQLite (i.e.
2679 about 15Megs of memory) hoping to improve performance.
2680 - Terminate last filename referenced in FD prior to copy to
2681 avoid race problem with multiple threads and no locking.
2682 - Enhanced the status output to include the JobType
2683 - Print an error message if the email program terminates in error.
2684 - If your machine has an MTUNLOCK, do it before doing an OFFLINE to
2685 ensure that the door is unlocked.
2686 - Added code to stored/append.c to spool attributes. This is in
2687 a testing stage and must be explicitly enabled.
2688 - Added a no_attributes variable to stored/append.c that prevents
2689 the attributes from being sent to the Director. As yet, no way
2691 - Modified SQLite code so that after 10000 updates any transaction
2692 is committed, then restarted. This keeps it from using too much
2694 - Set the default cache size to 10000 pages (previously 2000).
2695 - Fixed a segmentation fault on Sun due to no default value for
2697 - Added the same indexes to SQLite that I exist in MySQL. This
2698 VASTLY reduces CPU usage for lots of inserts.
2699 - Added spooling to bnet_send().
2702 - The following two changes were prompted by questions/suggestions
2704 - If you have "AlwaysOpen = no" in your SD Device
2705 resource, Bacula will free() the drive when it
2706 is finished with the Job.
2707 - If you have "Offline On Unmount = yes", in your
2708 SD Device resource, Bacula will offline (or eject)
2709 the tape prior to freeing it.
2710 - Added Maximum Open Wait to allow open() to wait if drive is busy.
2711 - Added RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob records to Job records.
2712 This permits running an external program with the following editing
2716 %d = Director's name
2725 - Added autochanger support to devices.c
2726 - Allow user to change Slot in the Volume record.
2727 - Implemented code in lib to run an external program
2729 - Implemented a changer script for mtx.
2730 - Currently the changer commands used are:
2731 loaded -- returns number of slot loaded or 0
2732 load -- loads a specified slot
2733 unload -- unloads the device (returns casette to slot)
2734 - Other changer commands defined but not yet used:
2735 list -- returns list of slots containing a cassette
2736 slots -- returns total number of slots
2737 - Implemented ChangerCommand, specified in the SD Device
2738 resource, permits editing of:
2740 %a = archive device name
2741 %c = changer device name
2748 - Implemented MaximumChangerWait default 120 seconds. It is
2749 specified in the SD Device resource.
2752 - Moved techlogs from main directory to be subdirectory of doc
2753 - Added code for strerror_r, and detection of gethostbyname_r().
2754 - The protocol between the Director and the SD has changed.
2755 - Major rework of SD tape mounting to prepare for Changer commands.
2756 - Separated Update Media record and Create JobMedia record. These
2757 are done from the SD by calling the Director. Need separate Create
2758 JobMedia so that when a Job spans a volume, all other Jobs writing
2759 the same volume will also have JobMedia records created.
2760 - Added message to user indicating selection aborted if he enters .
2761 to a Console selection request.
2762 - Create a jobstatus_to_ascii() routine for use in status commands.
2763 This makes a single routine from three separate pieces of code.
2764 Updated the code to properly handle more (all) termination statuses.
2765 - Tried to fix the gnome-console to handle history a bit better. There
2766 are still some problems with focus not being properly set to the edit
2767 box after history replacement.
2768 - Removed the shutdown() from bnet_close() hoping to fix Console termination
2769 errors that are occassionally seen -- no luck.
2770 - Moved add_str() to lib/util and renamed it add_str_to_pool_mem() so that
2771 it can be used to edit Job termination codes and Changer command codes.
2772 - Reworked how the SD mounts tapes (in device.c) so that control passes through
2773 only a single routine. The logic is much simpler than previously, and now
2774 adding AutoChanger code is straight forward.
2775 - Made SD tape mounting much more fault tolerant -- more cases retry instead
2776 of terminating the Job.
2777 - Wrote code to edit_device_codes() for Changer commands. Not yet fully
2779 - Added a ChangerDevice directive to the Device resource. Still need to add
2783 - This documents what I did while on vacation.
2784 - A fair amount of documentation.
2785 - Implemented Verify Volume to Catalog (needs renaming)
2786 - Modified the database to include new MarkId field as
2787 well as Counters. Database level is incremented from 1 to 2.
2788 - Added first cut of managing autochangers by implementing Slot in DB.
2789 - Fixed a good number of M_ERROR messages to be M_FATAL where appropriate.
2790 Also converted a number of Emsg() to Jmsg() permitting better Job error
2792 - First cut at implementing a general packet passing mechanism for bsock
2793 to replace printf and sscanf for passing data.
2794 - Made make_xxx_tables and drop_xxx_tables and create_xxx_database
2795 for bdb as well as sqlite. With this each database has the
2796 same set of scripts (with the exception that MySQL has grant_privileges).
2797 - Modified Makefile to only install the database scripts for the
2798 database that you are using.
2799 - Updated the pdf script to include all the html files.
2800 - Did quite a lot of documentation.
2801 - Made Bacula compile correctly with DEBUG turned off.
2802 - Implemented Pmsg() macros that permit using the debug print
2803 routines even with DEBUG off.
2804 - Updated job_cancelled() macro to handle JS_FatalError.
2805 - Changed db_find_last_full_verify() to db_find_last_jobid(). This
2806 permits working with Verify Volume to Catalog.
2807 - Removed TRANSACTION code from incrementing NextId for SQLite.
2808 - Implemented quick and dirty (not fully functional code) so that
2809 console program does not die if ctl-Z is entered.
2810 - Cleaned up backup.c a bit adding a bail_out goto to ensure proper
2811 handling of errors with minimum code.
2812 - Added passing Slot back and forth to Storage daemon with Volume info.
2813 - Implemented Slot in Media record in DB.
2814 - Implemented first cut of Counter resource in dird_conf.c. A counter
2815 resource is part of the Pool resource.
2816 - Implemented necessary database record. However, the resource doesn't
2817 yet create a DB record.
2818 - Implemented onefs (One File System) and recurse options on Include
2820 - Implemented autopruning of Verify and Restore Jobs.
2821 - Did a better job of calculating thread_concurrency() for Sun systems.
2822 This permits better multi-threading allowing all the threads to run
2824 - Implemented a wait_for_storage_daemon_termination(), which is used by
2825 backup and verify volume.
2826 - Clarified a number of UA prompts, and add feedback where certain commands
2827 completed but printed nothing. (More work to be done here).
2828 - Added a pile of new code to implement Verify Volume to Catalog. It is sort
2829 of a hybrid of "restore" and "verify" in that it actually reads the tape,
2830 then compares it to the catalog. Need Verify Volume to Client.
2831 - Added a good number of checks for job_cancelled() this should permit
2832 quicker and more reliable cancelling of jobs.
2833 - Fixed one bug in restore where I used ofile instead of lname, which means
2834 that if the lname was too long, the memory was not properly reallocated.
2835 - Cleaned up find_one.c in findlib quite a bit.
2836 - Link smtp static so that it works even if the libraries are messed up.
2837 - If mail host is not found, retry with local host in smtp.
2838 - Added slot and stream to the bootstrap record processing.
2839 - Do offline on tape cartrige for unmount command. This can be turned off
2840 by the user in the config file. OffLineOnUnmount in Device resource.
2841 - Implemented AutoChanger = yes/no in Device resource.
2843 ===========================================================================
2844 2002-07-07 Release 1.22
2845 - All the basic Restore code to handle the boostrap file is
2846 now implemented with the exception of the Console Restore command.
2847 - Retained compatibility with previous Restore providing no
2848 bootstrap file is specified. However, the old code (JobId based)
2849 will go away in a future release.
2850 - Fixed a number of segmentation faults in the Console program due
2851 to printing of NULL pointers -- thanks to Chuck and his Sun for
2852 finding and reporting them -- mostly in ua_output.c.
2855 - Null pointers now are printed as *None* if NPRT() is used.
2856 - At the request of Phil, all resources are now chained in in the
2857 order they appear in the config file.
2858 - Implement Bootstrap record in the Director's config file, which
2859 allows you to specify a predefined bootstrap file for Restore Jobs.
2860 - Allow Bootstrap on the Restore record. This is deprecated.
2861 - Implemented code to pass the Bootstrap file, if defined, to the
2862 File daemon, then from the File daemon to the Storage daemon.
2863 - Added ability to set Bootstrap file in the Console when running a Restore.
2864 - Allow scan_error() routine to be passed to lex_open_file(). This permits
2865 using lex in the Storage daemon without worrying that it will ABORT on
2866 a syntax error. More work is needed to direct the error messages correctly.
2867 - Improved error messages a bit when config syntax errors are found.
2868 - Tested and corrected some errors in match_bsr.c
2869 - Removed askdir.c from bls and bextract by defining dummy entry points.
2870 - bextract now has bootstrap pretty well integrated.
2871 - Changed bextract ABORTs into FATAL and exit(1) or ERROR_TERMINATE.
2873 - Eliminated at least one lld and replaced it by edit_uint64()
2874 - Eliminated a few more _PROTO()s.
2875 - Corrected a problem with the SQL for in query.sql for
2876 Listing Volumes to Restore All Files
2879 - Additional documentation.
2880 - Reduce the time the jcr mutex is locked in lib/jcr.c
2881 - More null pointer printing fixes in lib/parse_conf.c (debug output only).
2882 - Added daemon filename to Kaboom message so I know what daemon died.
2883 - Fix big bad bug introduced in watchdog.c last update that caused
2884 a segmentation violation (forgot to check for NULL pointer).
2885 - Add a bit more info to bad returns from Stored when starting
2890 - Fixed backup scanning forgot one T_STRING -> T_UNQUOTED_STRING
2891 - changed all rwlock_t to brwlock_t to avoid conflicts with
2893 - Added NPRT() macro to allow printing of NULL pointers, which
2894 segment fault on Solaris.
2895 - Cast printing of pid_t to int for Solaris compiler.
2898 - Added expect argment to lex_get_token().
2899 - Added tree.c and tree.h to lib directory.
2902 - Improvements to the bootstrap compiler
2903 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in the Storage daemon
2904 - Modified the authentication code to be more explicit during
2906 - Added a few more debug message numbers with more arguments (Dmsg10, ...)
2907 - Added more and more precise error messages when authentication fails.
2908 - Implemented new "expect" codes in the lexical scanner that allows
2909 the caller to specify what he wants.
2910 - Added integer, positive integer, 64 bit integer, and integer ranges,
2911 and name scanning to lex.
2912 - Implemented new lex code in parse_conf.c, this reduces significantly
2914 - Hopefully fixed a watchdog race bug that caused the watchdog to time
2915 out a line after 1 hour rather than 6 days.
2918 - Implemented a Bootstrap file parser and matcher.
2919 - Implemented first cut of bootstrap code in bextract
2920 - Started clarifying different termination codes.
2921 - Added M_ERROR_TERM to immediately terminate the daemon -- no dump.
2922 Also changed a few termination codes as appropriate.
2923 - Fixed create_jobmedia_record() to include all the fields such as
2924 StartFile/EndFile, StartBlock/EndBlock.
2925 - Print user friendly message when query mode ends.
2926 - Fixed ls style print routines (bextract, bls, restore) to check
2927 buffer size, to print the link if any, and to used edit_uint64()
2929 - Moved scan_to_eol() and s_err() to lex.c to avoid dragging in
2930 parse_conf.c for new bsr scanning code.
2931 - New files: bsr.h, parse_bsr.c and match_bsr.c. parse_bsr.c parses
2932 a Bootstrap file, and match_bsr.c matches a bsr against a tape.
2933 - use strcasecmp() in several places instead of lcase().
2934 - Add first cut of bootstrap to bextract.
2935 - Added File Size limit -- writes EOF after limit exeeded.
2937 ===========================================================================
2938 2002-06-12 Release 1.21
2939 - Fixed several problems with filenames being truncated if
2940 they contain spaces. Thanks to the user that reported this.
2941 - N.B. To get the new queries, after the "make" and
2942 "make install" you must explicitly replace the
2943 existing query.sql by query.sql.new. query.sql is a
2944 user configuration file, so it is not overwritten.
2945 - Added GZIP compression of Included files.
2946 - Added additional fields to tape SOS record permitting better
2947 recovery with no database.
2948 - Be sure to remove any !terminate statements you may have
2949 in your config files.
2950 - MUST UPDATE ALL DAEMONS due to protocol change to handle new
2954 - Updated examples directory with my most recent config files.
2955 - Modified the M_TERM meaning to mean that Bacula has
2956 terminated in error without producing a dump. Previously,
2957 it meant that Bacula terminate (with or without error).
2958 You should remove any !terminate from your messages
2960 - Changed the order of the libraries in the link so that
2961 tcp wrappers link properly. Thanks Phil for reporting this.
2962 - A user reported that filenames containing spaces were truncated
2963 in bextract. This was indeed the case. They were also truncated
2964 in Restore as well as in Verify. They are, hopefully, all fixed
2966 - Made a few error conditions in Verify non-fatal.
2967 - Modified the Console "query" command to permit multiple SQL
2968 statements per command.
2969 - Implemented three new "query" options:
2970 List last 10 Full Backups for a Client
2971 List Volumes used by selected JobId
2972 List Volumes to Restore All Files
2973 To use them, simply type "query" to the Console program, and
2974 select the one you want.
2975 - Modified bextract to default to extracting all files (i.e. /).
2976 - Cleaned up the code in bextract a bit.
2979 - Improve Verify command to include files examined.
2980 - Eliminate fcntl() locking of the console file and replaced
2981 it with a pthreads mutex.
2982 - Note Director - SD protocol is changed to handle new tape
2983 information (Fileset, JobType, JobLevel).
2984 - Create config.out that contains a summary of ./configure
2985 to see what you previously configured: "cat config.out"
2986 - Implemented GZIP compression. Added addition syntax to
2987 Include { } resource to permit setting of any GZIP compression
2994 Level 1 is minimum compression and level 9 is maximum. Using just
2995 GZIP gives the default (level 6).
2996 - Enhanced the tape format to include the unique Job name, FileSetName,
2997 JobType, and JobLevel in the Start/End of Session records. The code
2998 detects that tape level difference and acts accordingly. You can
2999 add data in the new format to old tapes.
3000 - Fixed an incorrect display message in the prune command.
3001 - Began implementation of Verify Volume and Verify Data.
3002 - Cleaned up File daemon restore.c a bit ensuring that termination
3003 cleanup is done and all possible Emsgs are converted to Jmsgs.
3004 - Modify bls.c to use common setup routines. This reduced the big
3005 code duplication that creeped in when I added different listing
3006 options. Also, changing tapes is now handled uniformily in a subroutine.
3008 ===========================================================================
3009 2002-05-27 Release 1.20
3010 - Started documenting Catalog Pruning and Recycling.
3011 Added catmaintenance.html and recycling.html
3012 - Fixed the query command bug.
3013 - Implemented PID files to prevent two copies of Bacula
3014 from running at the same time. Be sure you --with-pid-dir
3015 points to a working directory.
3016 - Modified ASSERT() to cause a segmentation violation. This
3017 permits a core dump.
3018 - Worked on gnome-console. It paints better, it tells you if it
3019 is ready to accept a command or processing one, and it is
3020 almost entirely GTK+ (rather than GNOME, I'm removing GNOME
3022 - Limit to 100 the number of tape labeling errors in a single Job.
3023 - Add some additional ASSERT()s to the database routines. I don't
3024 like ASSERTs but they do catch bugs.
3025 - Tested and debugged recycling of Volumes. Needed to change
3026 the Director-SD protocol slightly.
3027 - Removed the experimental SIGHUP in the Director as it is a
3028 potential source of errors.
3029 - Added Level, Pool, Messages, and Storage keyword/value scanning
3030 to the Schedule Run record.
3031 - Improved printing of Schedule resources with "show schedules"
3032 - Do not autoprune Jobs/Files if the Job errs.
3033 - Updated newvol() to pass back the updated Media record.
3034 - Fixed the "update pool" command, which was broken during a much
3035 earlier code reorganization.
3036 - Improved a few of the pruning messages.
3037 - Removed readline inclusions from gnome-console (hang over from console).
3038 - Make Jmsg use daemon message handler if no message handler is defined.
3039 This is always the case in the SD and FD.
3040 - Started removing __PROTO(). With C++ prototypes are manditory, so why
3041 keep around legacy code.
3042 - Added a good deal of message internationalization -- more to be done.
3043 - Move cached Path into mdb structure and use POOLMEM.
3044 - Fix verify bug introduced last update causing incorrect diffs
3045 by turning off autopruning.
3046 - Started adding code to distinguish Errors from Fatal Errors.
3047 - Errors are now counted in message.c for a Job.
3048 - More POOLMEM cleanups.
3049 - Implemented Automatic pruning.
3050 - Implemented Automatic recycling of Volumes.
3051 - Added PruneJobs/Files/Volumes=yes or no to Job resource. If set,
3052 it forces the specified pruning.
3053 - Modified rwlock to accept multiple nested write lock
3055 - Modified the cats directory to use the new rwlock mechanism
3056 in place of P() and V().
3057 - Defined db_lock(mdb) and db_unlock(mdb). They are in effect
3059 - Add CVS Id's to most files.
3060 - Made first cut at AutoPrune
3061 - Added new autoprune file that is called at the end of
3062 each Job. It then decides when and what to prune and
3063 calls the UA prune routines.
3064 - Modified Run (in Schedule resource) to permit overrides of
3065 Level, Pool, Storage, and Messages. (not tested).
3066 - Added more POOLMEM in place of char.
3067 - Implemented daemon pid files. This prevents multiple
3068 daemons from running simultaneously. You can run multiple
3069 daemons if they listen on different ports.
3070 - Documented the Schedule resource a bit better.
3071 - Began gently adding a POOLMEM type (perviously void).
3072 For the moment it is a #define to char, but long term
3073 it should be its own typedef.
3074 - Corrected a bit of spacing on the status bar of gnome-console
3075 - Added Admin and Archive Job types.
3076 - Implemented multiple Messages resources. Each daemon has
3077 its own message resource, which defaults if not defined.
3078 Jobs may now have different message handlers.
3079 - Cleaned up a bit of duplicate code in backup, verify, and
3080 restore by creating appropriate subroutines in job.c
3081 - Added Type, Client, FileSet, and Level resource record
3082 definitions to the Director. These can be used in place
3083 of the Backup = ..., Verify = ..., ... commands. This needs
3085 - Corrected an incorrect message in the prune code and added
3086 the number of Files pruned in the message.
3087 - Corrected several paint problems with gnome-console.
3088 - Added a bit of printout in signal handler during traceback.
3089 - Cleaned up most of sm_check() to be turned on/off by define
3092 ===========================================================================
3093 2002-05-10 Release 1.19
3094 - Allow the user to select a new period for pruning.
3095 - Lots of additions to the manual -- prune and purge
3096 commands documented.
3097 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
3098 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
3099 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
3100 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
3101 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
3102 due to a bug in MySQL.
3103 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
3104 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
3105 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean.
3106 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean.
3107 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean.
3108 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
3109 Bug reported by Phil.
3110 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
3111 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
3112 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
3113 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by Phil.
3114 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
3115 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
3116 older gcc compilers.
3117 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty argv.
3118 - Fixes to Verify when only MD5 differs.
3119 - Insert 0 for MD5 as default rather than space.
3120 - Allow .messages "transparent" command while reading input
3121 in UserAgent server.
3122 - In dird/verify.c ensure that correct filename is printed if only
3123 the MD5 differs. Minor reindenting caused large diff.
3124 - Delete unused code from backup.c
3125 - In filed/verify.c ensure that same algorithm as backup.c is used
3126 to pass back MD5 signatures -- especially for directories and files
3127 that cannot be read. Change dummy filename from X to *MD5-id*.
3128 This dummy value should never be printed.
3129 - Make gnome-console poll Director every 5 seconds for output.
3130 This means that queued up messages are displayed at reasonable
3131 intervals. Delete some unused code hanging around from the tty
3133 - Begin implementation of prune commands.
3134 - Add command line history to gnome-console. Not yet saved across sessions.
3135 - Fixed some broken URLs in the manual.
3137 - Wrote first cut of "prune files" and "prune jobs".
3138 - Added command line history to gnome-console 2500 lines max.
3139 - Widened store_time() and associated variables to 64 bits using
3140 new btime_t definition.
3141 - Removed GNOME about box and replaced it with
3142 a somewhat crude Gtk+ about box in the gnome-console.
3143 - Widened StartDay in the Job DB record to be 64 bits.
3144 - Changed edit_uint_ to edit_uint64_ everywhere. Much more
3145 descriptive of what is done.
3146 - Removed most llds and replaced them with %s and edit_uint64.
3147 This makes the code a bit easier to read for beginners.
3148 - Added a btime_t typedef which is 64 bits wide.
3149 - Added most of the code needed to do Purge and Prune of
3150 database. Not yet tested. Please do not use.
3151 - Additional config options for Console.
3152 - Started adding code for Automatic Recycling of Volumes.
3153 - Allow arbitrary length filenames in Verify code.
3154 - Fix incorrect filename in Verify code.
3155 - Significant enhancement to number scanning in config parser.
3156 - Requires initializing MySQL tables, or applying cats/alter.sql
3157 to modify Media table.
3158 - Modified Makefile to printer a much more visible
3159 message if the make ends in error.
3160 - Added the Purge value to the VolStatus in the Media table.
3161 This value is set if the Volume is purged.
3162 - Enhanced the db_delete_media_record() routine to delete
3163 all associated records in the database.
3164 - Modified Console to always write to the variable "output"
3165 rather than stdout. This will permit directing output to a file.
3166 - Enhanced the Console configuration file to have a Console
3167 resource. This will allow us to add an rcfile and history file.
3168 - Modified Find_next_vol in catreq.c to search for "Recycle"
3169 volumes if there are none marked Append. Also made Get_Vol_info
3170 return the VolStatus to the Storage daemon.
3171 - Allow upper/lower case match on job level names.
3172 - Added another warning message to the Console "delete media" command.
3173 - Corrected a number of FileId types from uint64_t to FileId_t in
3175 - In ua server close database before freeing JCR (because pointer is
3176 kept in ua and jcr structures).
3177 - parse all numbers as doubles. Do lots of checking for valid number
3178 formats. Allow numbers in scientific form (e.g. 1.5e+10).
3179 - Remove terabyte modifier as it doesn't work in some compilers.
3180 - Fix bug in handling some modifiers.
3181 - Added all necessary code for Recycle to Storage daemon. A Volume
3182 marked Recycle will now be overwritten.
3183 - Filled out the prune command a bit and did some testing.
3184 - Make console accept redirected input.
3185 - Altered the Table definitions to include Recycle,
3186 FileRetention, JobRetention, and AutoPrune.
3187 - Widened StartDay to 64 bits.
3188 - Use JobId_t in more places.
3189 - Added the new table fields to the database record definitions.
3190 - Changed Recycle from string to a binary quantity.
3191 - Added a Version table with a VersionId to detect.
3192 future changes in the database. This should prevent
3193 a Bacula from working with a database that is not in sync.
3194 - Modify Console to accept input from a file. This will permit
3195 the .read command and allow reading a .rc file.
3196 - Added new retention and recycle variables to the Director's configuration.
3197 - The UA subroutines or commands can now be called from core
3198 code because the output routines detect the absence of a
3199 UA socket and direct output to the Job.
3200 - Added a verbose flage to the ua packet to permit reduction of
3201 output while running a UA command (prune) from a Job.
3202 - Did a fair amount of work on the prune command. Prune Volume now works.
3203 - Purge Volume now works.
3204 - Made last changes for integrating prune and purge commands.
3205 - Add -ltermcap to CONS_LIBS when readline is configured.
3206 More work to be done to search for termcap.
3207 - Added cats/drop_sqlite_tables.in, which will delete the SQLite database.
3208 - Got CWEB working so that we can compile filesys.w and immortal.w
3209 - Modified depkgs to include cweb.
3210 - Note, CWEB is not yet used by the core Bacula code.
3211 - Made cats/alter.sql, which alters an old database to bring it
3212 up to the new format. This only works with MySQL since SQLite does
3213 not have the ALTER SQL command.
3214 - Changed the old StartDay field in the db to be JobTDate, which is
3215 the latest time/date in widened Unix time format that the Job ran.
3216 This value is used when doing pruning.
3217 - Added code in cats/sql.c to verify that the database internal version
3218 corresponds to the db version compiled in Bacula. It is set to 1 currently.
3219 - Lots of changes to cats to bring the SQL up to date with the new
3220 retention period changes.
3221 - Added Console command code to permit changing a Volume's retention period.
3222 - Removed old code that used date_encode() and replaced it with widened
3224 - Started modifying Message resource scanner so that we can have multiple
3225 message resources. Much more work to be done.
3226 - Moved scanning for time into new library routine string_to_btime().
3228 ===========================================================================
3229 2002-04-22 Release 1.18
3230 - Applied Phil's configure.in fix for --prefix, ...
3231 - Fixed bug found by Phil (patch supplied) in updating
3232 MD5 signatures (revert to 32 bit FileId, move "static"
3233 variables into JCR) (catreq.c fd-cmds.c).
3234 - Reverted to using INTEGER for FileId in make_sql_tables
3235 due to a bug in MySQL.
3236 - Change editing code to %d for FileId.
3237 - Remove sqlite in make distclean in cats directory.
3238 - Remove console.conf in console during make distclean
3239 - Remove gnome-console.conf during make distclean
3240 - Remove bacula-dir.conf during make distclean
3241 - Set default level when using Console if none specified.
3242 Bug reported by Phil.
3243 - A simple . command from Console is ignored.
3244 - Change program named from filed to bacual-fd in winmain.cpp
3245 - Change default config file for Win32 in winmain.cpp
3246 - Free namebuf on early return from find_one.c. Bug reported by
3248 - Modify testfind.c to dump orphaned buffers.
3249 - Removed terabytes from parse_conf.c because of problems with
3250 older gcc compilers.
3251 - Turn off gnome options in gnome-console by constructing empty
3254 ===========================================================================
3255 2002-04-18 Release 1.17 Kern Sibbald
3256 - Ensure that platforms Makefiles are called for clean
3258 - Hide a lot of Makefile messages with @
3259 - Applied Phil's configure.in patch. Thanks.
3260 - Doc updates, many to clarify points brought up by Phil.
3261 - Applied Phil's make_mysql_tables.in patch. Thanks.
3262 - Made authenticate.c in dird test bnet_send status.
3263 - Make label a bit more friendly with extra info message.
3264 - Add level 200 to debug info in run command.
3265 - Remove old code from findlib/testfind.c so that it compiles.
3266 - Add two minute max wait to cram-md5 authentication. Hopefully,
3267 this will catch non-responding WinNT daemons.
3268 - Allow time and size modifiers to be upper or lower case.
3269 - Turn off old CYGWIN patch for pthread_cond_timedwait() bug that
3270 now causes File daemon hangs on WinNT.
3271 - Fix mount messages for restore. Previous updates to save
3272 broke the restore code.
3273 - By default write fixed block sizes rather than variable block
3274 sizes. My Sony DAT simply does not work (reread failures) with
3275 variable block sizes.
3276 - Data split across tapes was not being correctly restored
3277 (at least on DAT tapes).
3278 - Implement MaximumBlockSize and MinumBlockSize statements in
3279 Storage daemon so user can specify variable block sizes if
3281 - Return error if block checksum error on read (previously
3283 - Fixed some error messages in bls, and in some cases exit(1)
3284 rather than ABORT. There remain ABORTs to be examined.
3285 - Made a local copy of tcpd.h and corrected the function
3286 prototype problem for C++.
3288 ===========================================================================
3289 2002-04-14 First public release 1.16 Kern Sibbald
3290 - Many intervening changes/updates.
3292 2001-09-29 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
3293 - Fixes to problems found at John's installation.
3294 - See techlogs/kes25Sep01 for details
3296 2001-09-25 Release 1.0 Kern Sibbald
3297 - Helped John install at his site.
3298 He is backing up one Linux machine and
3299 one Win2000 machine.
3301 2001-mm-dd Many releases
3302 - Released internally.
3304 2000-04-09 Release 0.4 Kern Sibbald
3305 - Added a lot of Director configuration code. In
3306 part (a small part), the Director now uses the
3307 bacula.conf file to know what to do. There still
3308 remains a lot to do.
3309 - The file search code is now integrated into the
3310 MySQL database routines, and Bacula is now hooked
3311 into the MySQL database (if so configured). Thus
3312 all the database records are being created, though
3313 there still remains some work in getting all the
3314 details into the records (such as the Storage
3316 - I've defined how Volume pools work (see manual).
3317 - I've defined error message handling though no code
3319 - The following resources and records are implemented
3320 in the Director configuration file (bacula.conf):
3323 Name (passed to Storage daemon)
3326 Password (not yet used)
3328 Name, Address, Port, Password, MediaType
3332 Backup (only one permitted)
3335 Schedule, Messages, Pool (not used)
3338 Include (options ignored)
3339 Exclude (no options)
3344 Debug, syslog, mail, append (not used)
3347 Address, Port, Password (not used)
3350 PoolType, MediaType (not used)
3352 - Added Storage configuration routines.
3354 Name, password (verified against those sent by Director)
3356 Name, Address, Port (address, port must correspond to Director's values)
3359 Name, MediaType (must correspond to those sent by Director)
3360 Archive Device (defines device name)
3363 2000-03-10 Release 0.3 Kern Sibbald
3364 - Implemented new base64 encoding for attributes.
3365 This eliminates some of the error messages in the
3366 sprintfs on the Solaris due to different stat() sizes.
3367 - Implemented the first cut of the file search routines for
3368 the File daemon. The exclusion lists work including wild
3369 cards. There is a lot of work to be done, but the basic
3370 structure is now in place (wild cards do not yet work for
3372 - Completed writing the memory pool code. Now I must
3373 implement it in the daemons.
3374 - Modified the bacula start/stop script so that it has a
3375 better chance of working on SGI and Solaris.
3376 - The catalog code has not been converted to the new file
3379 2000-03-06 Release 0.2 Kern Sibbald
3380 - Integrated John's fixes.
3381 - Made Makefiles self configuring when Makefile.in is changed.
3382 - Added a runit script in the top level that runs bacula
3383 - Added a "bacula" script in the top level directory that
3384 starts and stops the File daemon and the Storage daemon.
3386 2000-03-03 Release 0.1 Kern Sibbald
3387 - Basic Director, File, and Storage daemons.
3388 Standalone Catalog services using MySQL
3390 2000-01-22 Kern Sibbald
3391 * Setup basic file structure with ./configure
