1 Technical notes on version 1.37
8 - I finally found and squashed the elusive SD crash.
9 I needed to initialize the used volume list before
10 firing off the device initialization thread.
13 - Make sure that bpipe results are zapped even on
15 - Lots of documentation.
16 - Do not prune volume marked as append when needing a
18 - Print a warning message in SD if a non-used Volume
19 is specified and autolabel not turned on.
20 - Correct a bug in chksum.c concerning SHA1 signatures
21 (an * should have been & when checking for a bit flag).
22 - Print File:Block for all label records in label.c -- concerns
23 primarily bls when doing Job listings (-j).
24 - Correct is_volume_in_use() to return false if testing
25 on the same device where the Volume is already mounted.
26 - Define a init_done flag in the SD that is set when the
27 devices are initialized and make users connecting wait.
28 This prevents useless connect failure warning messages.
29 - Do additional device locking in ask_op_to_mount_volume()
30 to prevent race conditions with a user labeling a Volume
33 - Add a test for error return from bnet_wait... in heartbeat.c
34 in FD to avoid CPU loop.
35 - Implement TLS in gnome console and wx-console.
37 - Correct a NULL pointer reference in the mount command.
38 - Correct typo in Copyright
39 - Add detection of EOM for IBM drives (i.e. errno == ENOSPC)
41 - Remove temp file created in mtx-changer script.
42 - Make fsf_dev() into a class method.
44 - Modify mtx-changer.in script to return slot:barcode for
45 Volumes that are loaded in the drives.
46 - Correct some more places where dev->is_blocked() needs
47 to be checked in dircmd.c in SD.
50 - Add code to ensure that reserved but unused volumes
52 - Correct how Volumes are mounted and handled so that the SD
53 does not get stuck if multiple volumes are used (recycling,
55 - Correct bug where you could relabel a volume while it
56 was being acquired -- created chaos.
58 - Correct seg fault caused by open() calling sequence change.
60 - Add new rc-chio-changer script by Rudolf Cejka to
62 - Apply Rudolf's changes to bacula.in
63 - Expand the space from 8 to 10 characters in editing
64 file sizes for restore and dir of catalog, otherwise
65 GB sizes are truncated -- fixes bug report.
66 - Modify wx-console to know about 10 character widths.
67 - Allow decending into top level directory if "recurse=no"
68 is set. Fixes a bug report.
69 - Install pthreadVCE.dll when installing console or wx-console
70 on Win32 systems. Fixes bug report.
72 - Tweak dvd-writepart script to prevent door from opening/closing
74 - Remove GROUP BY in several PostgreSQL commands to prevent error.
76 - Ensure that < as first character of filename list is not treated
77 as a directory for restore.
78 - Add debug to heartbeat in FD as it seems to go into an
79 infinite loop from time to time during SD failure in DVD writing.
80 - Add more debug code to dvd writing.
81 - Attempt not to destroy existing fs on DVD.
83 - Detect device mounted for DVD and suppress be sure to
84 mount message after label.
85 - Set Cleaning tape status to "Cleaning" and force no
87 - Get DVD writing working with new standard Bacula open()
89 - Rename get_filename() to make more sense.
90 - Detect "is already mounted on" on mount command so to avoid
91 error if device is already mounted.
92 - Eliminated guess_name() code. It may be necessary to
94 - Eliminate seg fault from printing invalid results.
95 - Make dvd_write_part() bool.
98 - Attempt to fix DVD writing by eliminating a number of the
99 DVD subroutines to simplify.
100 - Modify DEVICE::open() to take dcr as first argument. This
101 will permit providing more info to DVD opening.
102 - Fix scanning for time/size items which in some cases
104 - Eliminate read_dvd_volume_label(). New code (not yet written)
105 *must* open dvd appropriately before calling
106 read_dev_volume_label.
107 - Modify open_first_part() open_next_part() to take DCR as
109 - Make label command from console work on DVDs.

131 - Add Version, ConfigFile, and WorkingDir as Python attributes
133 - Implement code (principally for Win32) that on failure to
134 create a file, it will cd into the directory and attempt
135 to create the file using a relative path. This avoids creating
136 files with paths which fail on Win32.
137 - Fix parsing of times and sizes with decimal numbers.
138 - Make free_volume_list() in SD work if vol list is not
139 initialized (./bacula-sd -t).
141 - Add debug error printout when open() fails.
142 - If open() of DVD fails in mount.c, return false.
143 - Split open() code for DVD into separate subroutine in dev.c

365 - Fix sign extension problem in lex.c that reads UTF-8
366 with Chinese characters incorrectly.
370 - Remove a few HAVE_TLS #ifdefs
371 - Implement final Python style interface. More implemention to
372 be done, but the interface should change little if at all.
374 - Make default no tls support. You must add
375 --with-openssl to get tls support.

378 box -- thanks to input from Michel Meyers.
379 - Fix md5sum so that it builds with the new openssl stuff.
380 - Take some enhancements to the md5sum test program proposed
383 - Make option 2 of restore work better (list last 20
384 locations for a file).

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

501 - Modify end of volume handling so that fixup_... does not
502 redo what block.c has already done -- writing Vol info to
503 DIR. This fixes a bug with bad numbers of files on a tape
504 when it filled as reported by Peter.
505 - In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
506 info if the the information was already written at the
509 - NOTE!!!! This version has a new DIR <--> SD protocol. Both
510 must be updated at the same time.
511 - Begin implementation of passing all the Storage and Device
512 possibilities to the SD for examination during the reserve
514 - Modify the reserve and acquire code in the SD to make a
515 job wait if the device is not available.

528 if the drive is not available. Note! This is a short
531 - Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
532 - Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
533 from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
534 - Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
535 do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
536 - Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
537 to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
538 and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
539 - Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
540 failed the job to use the new device wait code.
542 - Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
543 - Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.
544 - Create patch for rescheduling problem found by Ludovic. Storage

551 - Add a few more methods to DEVICE in SD to cleanup code a
552 bit -- implement a few of the methods.
554 - Fix more print_name()s for printing device name.
555 - Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
556 open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no
557 volume mounted). This gives a bit of settling in time
558 for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
559 - Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
560 - Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
561 - Fix a typo in an error message.
563 - Detect if fseeko exists with autoconf. If so, use it
565 - Remove old bacula-*.conf from examples directory (out
567 - Remove latex-fr index files from CVS.
568 - Rewrite code that stops reading the tape so that the
569 tape is marked at EOT, then once the work is done,
570 the EOT flag is removed.
571 - Flush output to file after every send in console.
572 - Make setting VolFiles to smaller number fatal.
573 - Disable Multiple Connections code.

584 in spool.c. Don't let a -1 slip in as size.
588 - Apply NetBSD patch from kardel in bug 258.
590 - Add a second job and a second client to the default
591 bacula-dir.conf file.
592 - Remove old style Include/Excludes.
593 - Fix ANSI labels to put EOF1 and EOF2 after each file mark.
594 - Add Python to SD and FD.
596 - Implement IBM labels
597 - Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
598 - Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
599 passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
600 Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
601 the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
602 This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
603 card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
604 - The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.
608 - Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.
610 - Add new ua_update.c file and move update_cmd there.
611 - Modify "update slots" to obtain actual number of slots.
612 - Tweak autochanger code to handle new slots request.

616 - Patch the FD so that it does not issue an error message if
617 it attempts to restore the permissions on a Win32 drive.
618 - Edit "Resource-name" (physical-name) for the device name
619 everywhere in the SD.
620 - Remove .linked.tex files in preparation for cutover to
621 using .tex in place of .wml.
623 - Copy latest config.sub and config.guess from autoconf.
624 - Try new way of identifying drives with:
625 "resource-name" (physical-name)
626 More work need to a complete conversion.
628 - Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has
629 the number of drives.
630 - Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
631 back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
632 Device status changes.
633 - Copy the change name and changer command into the device
634 record if none is specified.
635 - Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
636 and AutoChanger resource.
637 - Force all the Media Type records of all devices in an Autochanger
640 - Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
641 cloning a job as many times as you want.
642 - Pass PoolId to SD on Query request. It is now used in the
643 Find_media catalog request.
644 - Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
645 and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.
646 - This DIR is nolonger compatible with previous SDs.
647 - Add since and cloned keywords to the Console run command
649 - Implemented store_alist_str() to allow multiple string items
650 to be specified in a .conf file.
651 - Added %s (since time) to Job code editing.

804 a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
806 - Some minor doc updates.
807 - Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
808 29Jan05 -- after vacation
809 - Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
810 of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
812 - Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
813 - Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
815 - Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
816 This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
817 Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
818 changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
820 - Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
822 - Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.

828 - Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
829 still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
830 a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
832 - Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
833 - Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
834 when the FD connects to the SD.
835 - Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
836 methods -- more to come.
837 - Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
838 class methods -- more to come.

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

875 - Apply all of Preben's patches, but revert to old backup.c
876 and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
877 acl.c because of errors. The new code, when fully implemented
878 moves platform specific code into acl.c.
879 One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
881 - Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
882 - Fix some typos in the previous commit.
884 - Enhance CDROM boot to include some documentation at boot time.

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

900 old style include/excludes.
902 - Apply Preben's ACL patch.
903 - Integrate Preben's restore patch.
904 - Integrate Preben's verify teaks.
905 - Fix doc/latex/Makefile to copy/remove .eps files when building
906 html and web outputs.
908 - Fix Bacula so that it does not exit if there is a syntax error
909 in its conf file during a reload command. Bug 182.
910 - Apply fixes suggested for old Solaris networking.
912 - Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
913 three patches that clean up white space:
915 Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
916 if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
917 ws.patch.03.trailing:
918 This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
921 This replaces space runs at the start of line with tabs. No changes

933 - Fix umount_drives in rescue disk (only one arg to umount)
934 - Ensure that if SD is manually set in Console, it is used.
935 - Put generate_event on pointer and plug it in init. This
936 permits using it in /lib
937 - Correct despooling size reported to be Job specific rather
938 than for the whole drive.
940 - Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
942 - Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
943 the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
944 extensions on all platforms.
945 - While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
946 boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
947 a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
948 updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
949 - Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
950 to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
951 - Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
952 option (no write) to work.
953 - Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
954 problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.
