680 - Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
681 - Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
682 from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
683 - Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
684 do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
685 - Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
686 to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
687 and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
688 - Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
689 failed the job to use the new device wait code.
691 - Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
692 - Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.
693 - Create patch for rescheduling problem found by Ludovic. Storage
694 pointers were lost during rescheduling.

696 - Start working on adding a wait routine in the SD.
697 - Cleanup some old invalid doc in watchdog.

700 - Add a few more methods to DEVICE in SD to cleanup code a
701 bit -- implement a few of the methods.
703 - Fix more print_name()s for printing device name.
704 - Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
705 open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no
706 volume mounted). This gives a bit of settling in time
707 for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
708 - Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
709 - Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
710 - Fix a typo in an error message.
712 - Detect if fseeko exists with autoconf. If so, use it
714 - Remove old bacula-*.conf from examples directory (out
716 - Remove latex-fr index files from CVS.

718 tape is marked at EOT, then once the work is done,
719 the EOT flag is removed.
720 - Flush output to file after every send in console.
721 - Make setting VolFiles to smaller number fatal.
722 - Disable Multiple Connections code.

743 - Add Python to SD and FD.
745 - Implement IBM labels
746 - Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
747 - Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
748 passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
749 Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
750 the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
751 This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
752 card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
753 - The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.
757 - Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.
759 - Add new ua_update.c file and move update_cmd there.

768 everywhere in the SD.
769 - Remove .linked.tex files in preparation for cutover to
770 using .tex in place of .wml.
772 - Copy latest config.sub and config.guess from autoconf.
773 - Try new way of identifying drives with:
774 "resource-name" (physical-name)
775 More work need to a complete conversion.
777 - Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has
778 the number of drives.
779 - Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
780 back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
781 Device status changes.
782 - Copy the change name and changer command into the device
783 record if none is specified.
784 - Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
785 and AutoChanger resource.
786 - Force all the Media Type records of all devices in an Autochanger
789 - Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
790 cloning a job as many times as you want.
791 - Pass PoolId to SD on Query request. It is now used in the
792 Find_media catalog request.
793 - Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
794 and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.
795 - This DIR is nolonger compatible with previous SDs.

813 - Fix a few problems with the MySQL table create in 1.37.
814 - Delete the new tables in the table delete files.
815 - Increase the number of items permitted in a conf table.
816 - Make Director loop over alternative Devices specified in the
817 Storage resource until one is reserved by SD.
818 - Fix storing of StorageId in Media records.
819 - Add AutoSelect = yes|no in bacula-sd.conf
820 - Add Autochanger support to Label command.

823 - Implement setting DIR Storage device to Autochanger
825 - Select first available device in Autochanger.
826 - Pass back actual device name used.
827 - Allow Query of AutoChanger.
828 - Modify Query to include name of AutoChanger if
829 Device belongs to one.
830 - Remove old Pool code in jobq.c

891 proper error messages can be reported in next item.
892 - Modify the query and use device SD commands to attempt to
893 open the device if it could not previously be opened.
894 - Correct error message for Could not reserve device.
895 - Correct some minor details with Autochanger resource in SD.
897 - Fix seg fault if debug level 900 set in SD.
898 - Truncate Win32 child return code to 8 bits.

908 - Fix Media LabelDate and FirstWritten to be correctly set.
909 - Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
910 - Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
912 - Ensure that correct error messages are returned when

919 - Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
920 - Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
922 - Added some new dev methods. Most notably was
923 set_eof(), which handles setting all the dev variables
924 when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
927 - Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the
928 tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the

937 - Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
938 If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
940 - Added Check Labels = yes|no to Device resource in SD. If this
941 is set, Bacula will check for ANSI labels and accept them,
942 otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
945 - Second cut ANSI labels.
947 - Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.

950 found or could not be opened.
951 - Add the sqlite3 database scripts.
952 - Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
953 a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
955 - Some minor doc updates.
956 - Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
957 29Jan05 -- after vacation
958 - Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
959 of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
961 - Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
962 - Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
964 - Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
965 This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
966 Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
967 changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
969 - Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
971 - Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
972 - Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in
974 - Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
975 info from SD on startup.
976 - Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
977 - Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
978 still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
979 a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
981 - Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
982 - Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
983 when the FD connects to the SD.

985 methods -- more to come.
986 - Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
987 class methods -- more to come.

989 to add the following patch:
992 /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
993 and acl_to_text? *****/
998 - Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
999 - Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
1001 - Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
1002 of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
1003 - Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.
1007 - Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s
1008 acl patch. Fix case where configured but no ACL exists.
1009 Rework calling arguments to be shorter and positioned
1010 more typically in Bacula usage.

1022 cleanup code in src/filed/restore.c
1024 - Apply all of Preben's patches, but revert to old backup.c
1025 and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
1026 acl.c because of errors. The new code, when fully implemented
1027 moves platform specific code into acl.c.
1028 One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
1030 - Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
1031 - Fix some typos in the previous commit.
1033 - Enhance CDROM boot to include some documentation at boot time.

1044 - Add memtest86 to Bacula Rescue disk
1045 - Enhance Rescue disk startup screen
1047 - Move some variables to eliminate Solaris 2.6 compiler warnings.

1049 old style include/excludes.
1051 - Apply Preben's ACL patch.
1052 - Integrate Preben's restore patch.
1053 - Integrate Preben's verify teaks.
1054 - Fix doc/latex/Makefile to copy/remove .eps files when building
1055 html and web outputs.
1057 - Fix Bacula so that it does not exit if there is a syntax error
1058 in its conf file during a reload command. Bug 182.
1059 - Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
1061 - Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
1062 three patches that clean up white space:
1063 ws.patch.02.strings:
1064 Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
1065 if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
1066 ws.patch.03.trailing:
1067 This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
1069 ws.patch.04.leading:
1070 This replaces space runs at the start of line with tabs. No changes
1072 - Fix overriding storage specification to be done
1073 through a subroutine.
1074 - Fix autoconf so it runs with FC3.
1075 - Add Python4.3 to configure search paths.
1076 - Always copy and delete storage definitions into jcr.
1077 - Check that VolumeName supplied by Python is valid.
1080 - Fix undefined in non-Python build.
1081 - Update rescue disk to include mkinitrd
1082 - Fix umount_drives in rescue disk (only one arg to umount)
1083 - Ensure that if SD is manually set in Console, it is used.
1084 - Put generate_event on pointer and plug it in init. This
1085 permits using it in /lib
1086 - Correct despooling size reported to be Job specific rather
1087 than for the whole drive.
1089 - Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
1091 - Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
1092 the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
1093 extensions on all platforms.
1094 - While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
1095 boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
1096 a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
1097 updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
1098 - Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
1099 to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
1100 - Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
1101 option (no write) to work.
1102 - Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
1103 problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.
