52 and new jcr chain locking.
54 - Fix a long standing bug in the bacula start/stop scripts.
55 - Attempt to add the new bacula-ctl-* files to the rpm.
56 - Switch to using typeof() for list traversing to avoid

75 - Suffle lock order in reserve to avoid deadlock between
76 reservation lock and device mutex.
77 - Add Thorsten's VSS timeout code to 1.38 branch.
79 - Initialize jcr mutex before first use. Thanks to Thorsten for

107 - Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
108 - Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
109 terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy

111 mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
112 use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
113 - Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
114 lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.

129 - Add a job_canceled() check in SD command loop.
131 Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06
133 - The po files should now be current.
134 - Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the
135 buffers in all cases.
136 - Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object).

139 be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
140 - Allow listing by any of the above.
141 - Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time
142 and rates with suffexes from John Kodis <kodis at comcast.net>.

165 - Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
166 correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.
167 - Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage().
168 - Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably
170 - When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode
171 exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search
172 for a Scratch Volume.
173 - Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix.
174 - Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning.
175 - Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected.
176 - Check that user supplied a value before referencing

178 - Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code.
179 - Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when
180 updating all volumes in a Pool.
181 - Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr.
182 - Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that
183 two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time.
184 - Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape,
186 - Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
187 a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
188 - Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger
190 - Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
191 - Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
192 up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
193 - Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from
195 - Implement additional command line options for update Volume.
196 - Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating
197 all Volumes in a pool.
199 Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
201 - Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
203 - Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
204 so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
205 - Allow users to specify user/group and start options
206 for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
208 Release 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
210 - Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
211 list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
212 lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
214 - Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
215 pool by releasing free buffers.
217 - Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
218 - Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
220 - Make db_lock() mutex error fail the job rather than abort
221 Bacula. Canceling the job caused the mutex to fail.
222 - Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
223 number of items goes to zero.
224 - Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
225 so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
227 - Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
228 and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
229 These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
230 a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
231 messages will generally print for each JobId because they
232 represent the different problems with either the same drive
233 or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
234 of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
235 or greater is enabled in the SD.
237 - Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
238 the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
239 the job can be manually started from the console.
240 - During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
241 StorageId is zero (old Media records).
245 - Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
246 slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
247 - Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
248 - Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
249 drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
252 - Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
254 - Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
255 differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
256 hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
257 util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
259 - Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
260 incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
261 routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
262 from under the walk routines.
264 Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
266 - Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
267 premature termination of the reservation if all drives
268 are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
270 - Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
272 Beta release 23Dec05:
274 - Add OPENSSL_INC to console dependencies, lib dependencies, and
275 wx-console dependencies in Makefile.in
276 - Add OPENSSL INC/LIB to gnome2_console Makefile.in.
277 - Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
278 volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
280 - Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
281 - Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
282 it is not an autochanger.
283 - Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
284 This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
285 rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
286 file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
287 - Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
288 if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
290 - Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
291 - Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
292 - Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
293 code. This should fix bug #500.
295 - Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
296 - Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
298 - If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
300 - Delete old bnet packet code.
301 - Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
303 - Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
304 only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
306 Beta release 20Dec05:
308 - Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
309 reported by Wolfgang Denk
311 - Implement load balancing code.
312 - Pull a few files from 1.39 where we can maintain compatibility.
313 - Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
314 more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
315 jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
317 - Remove quotes from Version table name -- it breaks things.
318 - Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
319 - Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
321 - Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
322 - Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
323 - Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
324 Beta release 14Dec05:
326 - Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
327 for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
328 - Add quotes around table Version because of
329 error in MySQL 4.1.15 -- bug report submitted.
330 - Correct some minor problems with btape in the fill
332 - Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
333 - Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
334 - Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
335 and always open nonblocking.
336 - Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
337 - Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
338 - Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
340 - With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
343 - Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
344 - When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
345 - Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
346 - Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
348 - Use localhost if no network configured
350 - Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
351 - Remove debug print.
352 - Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
353 Beta release 10Dec05:
355 - Merge updates into 1.38 branch
356 - Update specs to include mysql4 define.
357 - Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
358 - Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
359 and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
360 to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
361 - Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
363 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
364 correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
366 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
367 to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client

375 - Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
376 Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
377 - Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
378 errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
379 - Add sanity check in append.c to ensure that dcr is not NULL.
380 This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
381 channel and drive indicies do not correspond.
383 - Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
384 - Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
385 - Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
