335 with Chinese characters incorrectly.
339 - Remove a few HAVE_TLS #ifdefs
340 - Implement final Python style interface. More implemention to
341 be done, but the interface should change little if at all.
343 - Make default no tls support. You must add

413 - Remove some of the recursion in stored/parse_bsr.c
414 - Move rescue out to a new Bacula project.
416 - Update of web site to replace old released doc with LaTeX

470 - Modify end of volume handling so that fixup_... does not
471 redo what block.c has already done -- writing Vol info to
472 DIR. This fixes a bug with bad numbers of files on a tape
473 when it filled as reported by Peter.
474 - In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
475 info if the the information was already written at the
478 - NOTE!!!! This version has a new DIR <--> SD protocol. Both
479 must be updated at the same time.

481 possibilities to the SD for examination during the reserve
483 - Modify the reserve and acquire code in the SD to make a
484 job wait if the device is not available.

497 if the drive is not available. Note! This is a short
500 - Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
501 - Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
502 from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
503 - Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
504 do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
505 - Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
506 to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
507 and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
508 - Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
509 failed the job to use the new device wait code.
511 - Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
512 - Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.
513 - Create patch for rescheduling problem found by Ludovic. Storage

524 - Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
525 open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no
526 volume mounted). This gives a bit of settling in time
527 for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
528 - Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
529 - Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
530 - Fix a typo in an error message.
532 - Detect if fseeko exists with autoconf. If so, use it
534 - Remove old bacula-*.conf from examples directory (out
536 - Remove latex-fr index files from CVS.

539 the EOT flag is removed.
540 - Flush output to file after every send in console.
541 - Make setting VolFiles to smaller number fatal.
542 - Disable Multiple Connections code.

563 - Add Python to SD and FD.
565 - Implement IBM labels
566 - Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
567 - Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
568 passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
569 Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
570 the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
571 This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
572 card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
573 - The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.
577 - Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.
579 - Add new ua_update.c file and move update_cmd there.

588 everywhere in the SD.
589 - Remove .linked.tex files in preparation for cutover to
590 using .tex in place of .wml.
592 - Copy latest config.sub and config.guess from autoconf.
593 - Try new way of identifying drives with:
594 "resource-name" (physical-name)
595 More work need to a complete conversion.
597 - Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has
598 the number of drives.
599 - Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
600 back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
601 Device status changes.
602 - Copy the change name and changer command into the device
603 record if none is specified.
604 - Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
605 and AutoChanger resource.
606 - Force all the Media Type records of all devices in an Autochanger
609 - Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
610 cloning a job as many times as you want.
611 - Pass PoolId to SD on Query request. It is now used in the
612 Find_media catalog request.
613 - Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
614 and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.
615 - This DIR is nolonger compatible with previous SDs.
616 - Add since and cloned keywords to the Console run command
618 - Implemented store_alist_str() to allow multiple string items
619 to be specified in a .conf file.
620 - Added %s (since time) to Job code editing.
621 - Reworked reserving drives in the SD. It now does it much simpler

640 - Add Autochanger support to Label command.
641 - Do not autoselect devices with autoselect set false
643 - Implement setting DIR Storage device to Autochanger
645 - Select first available device in Autochanger.
646 - Pass back actual device name used.
647 - Allow Query of AutoChanger.
648 - Modify Query to include name of AutoChanger if
649 Device belongs to one.
650 - Remove old Pool code in jobq.c
651 - Add Autoselect flag to query and DEVICE class (still

696 - Add back JobId index for MySQL as default -- speeds up
698 - Add more database fields and fix the update scripts to
699 include the new items.
700 - Pass actual level to FD so that ClientRun editing can reflect
701 correct level -- ditto for job status. This makes the DIR
702 incompatible with older clients!
703 - Move jobq.c acquire resources to static subroutine so that
704 the code logic becomes clearer. This is in preparation for
705 actually using the new Device resources.
706 - Fix some lower case problems in sql_cmds.c reported by
708 - Correct a seg fault in the SD reported by a user. Occurred

729 - Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
730 - Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
732 - Ensure that correct error messages are returned when

738 - Split the ANSI label code into ansi_label.c
739 - Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
740 - Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
742 - Added some new dev methods. Most notably was
743 set_eof(), which handles setting all the dev variables
744 when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
747 - Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the
748 tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the
749 user has the option of restoring everything.
750 - More progress in implementing 64 bit DB Ids.
751 - Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
752 - Implement update scripts for all database types.
753 - First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not

757 - Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
758 If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
760 - Added Check Labels = yes|no to Device resource in SD. If this
761 is set, Bacula will check for ANSI labels and accept them,
762 otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
765 - Second cut ANSI labels.

773 a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
775 - Some minor doc updates.
776 - Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
777 29Jan05 -- after vacation
778 - Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
779 of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
781 - Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
782 - Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
784 - Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
785 This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
786 Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
787 changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
789 - Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
791 - Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.

794 - Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
795 info from SD on startup.
796 - Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
797 - Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
798 still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
799 a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
801 - Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
802 - Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
803 when the FD connects to the SD.
804 - Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
805 methods -- more to come.
806 - Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
807 class methods -- more to come.
808 - I had serious problems with ACL errors on my Laptop, and so had
809 to add the following patch:
812 /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
813 and acl_to_text? *****/
818 - Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
819 - Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
821 - Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
822 of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
823 - Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.
827 - Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s
828 acl patch. Fix case where configured but no ACL exists.

830 more typically in Bacula usage.
832 - Fix scripts/bacula.in to have awk on an environment variable
833 and add comments for Solaris users.

842 cleanup code in src/filed/restore.c
844 - Apply all of Preben's patches, but revert to old backup.c
845 and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
846 acl.c because of errors. The new code, when fully implemented
847 moves platform specific code into acl.c.
848 One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
850 - Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
851 - Fix some typos in the previous commit.
853 - Enhance CDROM boot to include some documentation at boot time.

855 boot sequence has changed significantly. Updates to come
857 - Add memtest option to CDROM boot.
858 - Include Nicolas' changes to fix llist JobMedia records.
859 - Make sure that ClientRunBefore/After messages from the program

864 - Add memtest86 to Bacula Rescue disk
865 - Enhance Rescue disk startup screen
867 - Move some variables to eliminate Solaris 2.6 compiler warnings.

869 old style include/excludes.
871 - Apply Preben's ACL patch.
872 - Integrate Preben's restore patch.
873 - Integrate Preben's verify teaks.
874 - Fix doc/latex/Makefile to copy/remove .eps files when building
875 html and web outputs.
877 - Fix Bacula so that it does not exit if there is a syntax error
878 in its conf file during a reload command. Bug 182.
879 - Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
881 - Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
882 three patches that clean up white space:
884 Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
885 if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
886 ws.patch.03.trailing:
887 This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
890 This replaces space runs at the start of line with tabs. No changes

902 - Fix umount_drives in rescue disk (only one arg to umount)
903 - Ensure that if SD is manually set in Console, it is used.
904 - Put generate_event on pointer and plug it in init. This
905 permits using it in /lib
906 - Correct despooling size reported to be Job specific rather
907 than for the whole drive.
909 - Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
911 - Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
912 the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
913 extensions on all platforms.
914 - While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
915 boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
916 a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
917 updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
918 - Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
919 to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
920 - Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
921 option (no write) to work.
922 - Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
923 problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.

948 - Add FileSet to client Job listing query.
950 - Integrated Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
