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

599 - Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
600 - Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
601 from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
602 - Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
603 do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
604 - Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
605 to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
606 and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
607 - Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
608 failed the job to use the new device wait code.
610 - Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.

626 for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
627 - Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
628 - Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
629 - Fix a typo in an error message.

664 - Implement IBM labels
665 - Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
666 - Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
667 passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
668 Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
669 the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
670 This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild

689 using .tex in place of .wml.
691 - Copy latest config.sub and config.guess from autoconf.
692 - Try new way of identifying drives with:
693 "resource-name" (physical-name)
694 More work need to a complete conversion.
696 - Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has
697 the number of drives.
698 - Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
699 back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
700 Device status changes.
701 - Copy the change name and changer command into the device
702 record if none is specified.
703 - Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
704 and AutoChanger resource.

708 - Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
709 cloning a job as many times as you want.
710 - Pass PoolId to SD on Query request. It is now used in the
711 Find_media catalog request.
712 - Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
713 and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.

734 - Increase the number of items permitted in a conf table.
735 - Make Director loop over alternative Devices specified in the
736 Storage resource until one is reserved by SD.
737 - Fix storing of StorageId in Media records.
738 - Add AutoSelect = yes|no in bacula-sd.conf
739 - Add Autochanger support to Label command.
740 - Do not autoselect devices with autoselect set false
742 - Implement setting DIR Storage device to Autochanger
744 - Select first available device in Autochanger.
745 - Pass back actual device name used.
746 - Allow Query of AutoChanger.
747 - Modify Query to include name of AutoChanger if
748 Device belongs to one.
749 - Remove old Pool code in jobq.c

771 attempt to fix a bug report.
773 - Corrected SunOs to SunOS in btraceback (user submitted).
774 - Applied patch from Roger HÃ¥kansson <hson@ludd.luth.se>
775 to warn the user of defective AWKs during ./configure.
777 - Add some changes submitted by a user for HP client build.

797 - Add more database fields and fix the update scripts to
798 include the new items.

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

843 when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
846 - Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the
847 tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the

850 - Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
851 - Implement update scripts for all database types.
852 - First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not

856 - Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
857 If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
859 - Added Check Labels = yes|no to Device resource in SD. If this
860 is set, Bacula will check for ANSI labels and accept them,
861 otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
864 - Second cut ANSI labels.
866 - Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.
868 - Display more informative message when a device was not
869 found or could not be opened.
870 - Add the sqlite3 database scripts.
871 - Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
872 a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
874 - Some minor doc updates.
875 - Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
876 29Jan05 -- after vacation
877 - Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
878 of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
880 - Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
881 - Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
883 - Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
884 This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
885 Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
886 changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
888 - Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
890 - Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
891 - Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in
893 - Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
894 info from SD on startup.

896 - Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
897 still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
898 a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
900 - Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
901 - Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
902 when the FD connects to the SD.
903 - Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
904 methods -- more to come.
905 - Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
906 class methods -- more to come.

908 to add the following patch:
911 /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
912 and acl_to_text? *****/
917 - Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
918 - Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
920 - Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
921 of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
922 - Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.
926 - Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s
927 acl patch. Fix case where configured but no ACL exists.

944 and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
945 acl.c because of errors. The new code, when fully implemented
946 moves platform specific code into acl.c.
947 One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
949 - Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
950 - Fix some typos in the previous commit.

971 - Integrate Preben's restore patch.
972 - Integrate Preben's verify teaks.
973 - Fix doc/latex/Makefile to copy/remove .eps files when building
974 html and web outputs.
976 - Fix Bacula so that it does not exit if there is a syntax error
977 in its conf file during a reload command. Bug 182.
978 - Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
980 - Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
981 three patches that clean up white space:
983 Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
984 if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
985 ws.patch.03.trailing:
986 This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
989 This replaces space runs at the start of line with tabs. No changes

1001 - Fix umount_drives in rescue disk (only one arg to umount)
1002 - Ensure that if SD is manually set in Console, it is used.
1003 - Put generate_event on pointer and plug it in init. This
1004 permits using it in /lib
1005 - Correct despooling size reported to be Job specific rather
1006 than for the whole drive.
1008 - Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
1010 - Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
1011 the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
1012 extensions on all platforms.
1013 - While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
1014 boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
1015 a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
1016 updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
1017 - Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
1018 to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
1019 - Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
1020 option (no write) to work.
1021 - Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
1022 problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.
