- Move rescue out to a new Bacula project.
08Apr05
- Update of web site to replace old released doc with LaTeX

  RAIT stiping.
- Pass copy and stripe between DIR and SD and put into
  the JobMedia DB record.

  update scripts.
- Implement version 9 of the DB.
31Mar05
- Convert more atoi to str_to_int64() for DB.
- Implement filling in NumVols by querying DB rather
  than trying to keep track of it.

  hoping to fix the /lib/tls hang problems (lost signal).
- Move resource locking seaching from parse_conf.c to res.c
  in src/lib.
- Modify end of volume handling so that fixup_... does not
  redo what block.c has already done -- writing Vol info to
  DIR. This fixes a bug with bad numbers of files on a tape
  when it filled as reported by Peter.
- In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
  info if the the information was already written at the
  end of the tape.
28Mar05

  possibilities to the SD for examination during the reserve 
  phase.

- Move all the reserve/acquire_device_for_read/append to have
  only a DCR as the argument.
- Rework the reserve_device_for_append() in stored to wait
  if the drive is not available.  Note! This is a short
  term solution.
25Mar05
- Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
- Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
  from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
- Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
  do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
- Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
  to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
  and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
- Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
  failed the job to use the new device wait code.
22Mar05
- Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
- Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.
- Create patch for rescheduling problem found by Ludovic. Storage
  pointers were lost during rescheduling.

  bit -- implement a few of the methods.
18Mar05
- Fix more print_name()s for printing device name.
- Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
  open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no
  volume mounted). This gives a bit of settling in time
  for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
- Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
- Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
- Fix a typo in an error message.
17Mar05
- Detect if fseeko exists with autoconf. If so, use it 
  and ftello.
- Remove old bacula-*.conf from examples directory (out
  of date).
- Remove latex-fr index files from CVS.
- Rewrite code that stops reading the tape so that the
  tape is marked at EOT, then once the work is done,
  the EOT flag is removed.
- Flush output to file after every send in console.
- Make setting VolFiles to smaller number fatal.
- Disable Multiple Connections code.
- Add patch from user for NetBSD statvsfs() fix to
  fstype.c
- Take more care with errors in acquire.c
- Don't run through dvd code in append.c if bad status
  returned.
- Modify code so that an autochanger fault is fatal.
- Use dev->print_name() in more places.
- Implement dev->can_steal_lock() to simplify code.
- Make btape re-read first 10000 records on fill command.
- Check error return and fail job from fseeko and ftello
  in spool.c.  Don't let a -1 slip in as size.

Changes to 1.37.7:
15Mar05
- Apply NetBSD patch from kardel in bug 258.

- Add Python to SD and FD.
12Mar05
- Implement IBM labels
- Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
- Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
  passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
  Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
  the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
  This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
  card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
- The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.

Changes to 1.37.6:
11Mar05
- Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.
10Mar05

- Tweak autochanger code to handle new slots request.
- Modify autochanger code to lock/unlock around slots and
  update slots code.
09Mar05
- Patch the FD so that it does not issue an error message if
  it attempts to restore the permissions on a Win32 drive.
- Edit "Resource-name" (physical-name) for the device name
  everywhere in the SD.
- Remove .linked.tex files in preparation for cutover to
  using .tex in place of .wml.
08Mar05
- Copy latest config.sub and config.guess from autoconf.
- Try new way of identifying drives with:
   "resource-name" (physical-name)
  More work need to a complete conversion.
07Mar05
- Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has   
  the number of drives.
- Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
  back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
  Device status changes.
- Copy the change name and changer command into the device
  record if none is specified.
- Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
  and AutoChanger resource.
- Force all the Media Type records of all devices in an Autochanger
  to be the same.
06Mar05
- Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
  cloning a job as many times as you want.
- Pass PoolId to SD on Query request. It is now used in the
  Find_media catalog request.
- Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
  and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.
- This DIR is nolonger compatible with previous SDs.
- Add since and cloned keywords to the Console run command
  to support cloning.
- Implemented store_alist_str() to allow multiple string items
  to be specified in a .conf file.
- Added %s (since time) to Job code editing.
- Reworked reserving drives in the SD. It now does it much simpler
  and correctly. 
05Mar05
- Integrate HP-UX patch from  Olivier Mehani <olivier.mehani@linbox.com>
- Fix FD job.c to test correctly for no level.

  pruning.
- Add more database fields and fix the update scripts to
  include the new items.
- Pass actual level to FD so that ClientRun editing can reflect
  correct level -- ditto for job status. This makes the DIR
  incompatible with older clients!
- Move jobq.c acquire resources to static subroutine so that
  the code logic becomes clearer. This is in preparation for
  actually using the new Device resources.
- Fix some lower case problems in sql_cmds.c reported by
  Debian.

  bug on Win32 machines.
- Apply ua_status patch from Carsten Paeth <calle@calle.in-berlin.de>
  which enforces console ACLs in the status command for Jobs.
15Feb05
- Fix Media LabelDate and FirstWritten to be correctly set.
- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
- Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
10Feb05
- Ensure that correct error messages are returned when
  reading an ANSI label.
09Feb05
- Modified ANSI label code to preserve any ANSI label 
  already found by skipping over it rather than rewriting
  it.
- Split the ANSI label code into ansi_label.c
- Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
- Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
  in a bug report. 
- Added some new dev methods. Most notably was
  set_eof(), which handles setting all the dev variables
  when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
  in the code.
07Feb05
- Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the 
  tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the
  user has the option of restoring everything.
- More progress in implementing 64 bit DB Ids.
- Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
- Implement update scripts for all database types.
- First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not
  recurse).
04Feb05

- Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
  If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
  label type.
- Added Check Labels = yes|no to Device resource in SD. If this
  is set, Bacula will check for ANSI labels and accept them,      
  otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
  is first mounted.
02Feb05
- Second cut ANSI labels.
01Feb05
- Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.
- Some doc updates.
- Display more informative message when a device was not
  found or could not be opened.
- Add the sqlite3 database scripts. 
- Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
  a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
  to be documented).
- Some minor doc updates.
- Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
29Jan05 -- after vacation
- Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
  of SQLite2).  Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
  to get SQLite3.
- Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
- Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
  boot correctly.
- Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
  This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
  Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
  changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
  to 6 characters.
- Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
  upgrade script yet.
- Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
- Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in 
  Dir conf file.
- Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
  info from SD on startup. 
- Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
- Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource.  One can
  still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
  a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon 
  simultaneously.
- Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
- Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
  when the FD connects to the SD.
- Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
  methods -- more to come.
- Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
  class methods -- more to come.
- I had serious problems with ACL errors on my Laptop, and so had
  to add the following patch:

  -   return -1;
  +   return 0;
   }
- Added edit_int64()
- Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
- Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
  lots of testing!!!!
- Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
  of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
- Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.

Changes to 1.37.2:
12Jan05
- Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s
  acl patch. Fix case where configured but no ACL exists.
  Rework calling arguments to be shorter and positioned
  more typically in Bacula usage.
11Jan05
- Fix scripts/bacula.in to have awk on an environment variable
  and add comments for Solaris users.
- Turn off inet_aton in src/lib/address_conf.c for Win32
- Add new files to win32 build and eliminate a compiler warning.
- Add sample DVD Device resource to bacula-sd.conf
08Jan05
- Integrate Nicolas' patch for direct DVD support.        
07Jan05
- Fix fstype error returns.
- Apply Preben's cleanup.patch which puts back much of the
  cleanup code in src/filed/restore.c
06Jan05
- Apply all of Preben's patches, but revert to old backup.c
  and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
  acl.c because of errors.  The new code, when fully implemented
  moves platform specific code into acl.c.
  One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
01Jan05
- Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
- Fix some typos in the previous commit.
30Dec04
- Enhance CDROM boot to include some documentation at boot time.
- NOTE!!!!! The CDROM will not boot 2.6 kernels because the
    boot sequence has changed significantly. Updates to come
    later.
- Add memtest option to CDROM boot.
- Include Nicolas' changes to fix llist JobMedia records.
- Make sure that ClientRunBefore/After messages from the program
  are terminated with a newline. Add strerror to output error
  messages.
- Return program exit status code in Win32.
29Dec04
- Add memtest86 to Bacula Rescue disk
- Enhance Rescue disk startup screen
24Dec04
- Move some variables to eliminate Solaris 2.6 compiler warnings.
- Fix the seg fault at the end of a job in the FD when using
  old style include/excludes.
22Dec04
- Apply Preben's ACL patch.
- Integrate Preben's restore patch.
- Integrate Preben's verify teaks.
- Fix doc/latex/Makefile to copy/remove .eps files when building
  html and web outputs.
21Dec04
- Fix Bacula so that it does not exit if there is a syntax error
  in its conf file during a reload command. Bug 182.
- Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
  Fixes bug 190.
- Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
  three patches that clean up white space:
  ws.patch.02.strings:
    Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
    if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
  ws.patch.03.trailing:
    This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
    my setup.
  ws.patch.04.leading:
    This replaces space runs at the start of line with tabs. No changes
    again.
- Fix overriding storage specification to be done
  through a subroutine.
- Fix autoconf so it runs with FC3. 
- Add Python4.3 to configure search paths.
- Always copy and delete storage definitions into jcr.
- Check that VolumeName supplied by Python is valid. 
  Return 0 if not.
19Dec04
- Fix undefined in non-Python build.
- Update rescue disk to include mkinitrd
- Fix umount_drives in rescue disk (only one arg to umount)
- Ensure that if SD is manually set in Console, it is used.
- Put generate_event on pointer and plug it in init. This
  permits using it in /lib
- Correct despooling size reported to be Job specific rather
  than for the whole drive.
18Dec04
- Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
  scheduling jobs.
- Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
  the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
  extensions on all platforms.
- While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
  boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
  a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
  updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
- Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
  to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
- Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
  option (no write) to work.
- Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
  problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.
  Cleaned up a lot of #ifdefing problems by using routines
  in address_conf.c

- Add FileSet to client Job listing query.
06Dec04
- Integrated Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
  patch to backup directories skipped (due to no file system
  changes or no recursion), and to add a slash to the end
  of the directory name during the match process.
- Implement Jamie ffolliott <jamieff@inline.net>
  patch to dird_conf.c that enables Multiple Connections and
  fixes a typo in show. The rest of his patch awaits my suggested
