41 and new jcr chain locking.
43 - Fix a long standing bug in the bacula start/stop scripts.
44 - Attempt to add the new bacula-ctl-* files to the rpm.
45 - Switch to using typeof() for list traversing to avoid
46 as many FC5 g++ compiler warnings as possible.
48 - Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
49 bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
50 bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director

54 - Create datestyle fix for PostgreSQL. Fixes bug #574.
55 - Correct editing of JobId from int to int64 in fd_cmds.c
56 - Eliminate FileSet name race with bash_spaces() and multiple
57 threads by bashing in a local.

63 possible non-release of reservation_lock().
64 - Suffle lock order in reserve to avoid deadlock between
65 reservation lock and device mutex.
66 - Add Thorsten's VSS timeout code to 1.38 branch.
68 - Initialize jcr mutex before first use. Thanks to Thorsten for
69 tracking this down for me !!!! as it broke the Win32 build.
71 - Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
72 Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
74 - Implement regex test program in tools directory.
75 - Attempt to fix time problem with bsmtp with foreign langs.
76 - Add strip_trailing_newline() submitted by user.

80 restore, if polling is turned on.
81 - Disallow multiple storage specifications for a job. Should fix Arno's
83 - Add back a missing store of poolid in jr.poolid.
84 - If dir_user or dir-group is specified in ./configure apply it to
85 the working-dir. Fixes bug #533.
86 - If rescheduling a job cancel the previous incarnation with the SD.
87 Fixes bugs #566 and 557.
88 - Fix bug #567 do_message() definition type conflict.
92 - Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private.
93 - Create lock/unlock methods for jcr.
94 - Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading
95 records to get to seek position.
96 - Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
97 - Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
98 terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
99 SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
100 mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
101 use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
102 - Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
103 lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.
104 - Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with
105 multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list.
106 - Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique.
107 - Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations

118 - Add a job_canceled() check in SD command loop.
120 Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06
122 - The po files should now be current.
123 - Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the
124 buffers in all cases.
125 - Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object).

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

154 - Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
155 correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.
156 - Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage().
157 - Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably
159 - When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode
160 exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search
161 for a Scratch Volume.
162 - Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix.
163 - Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning.
164 - Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected.
165 - Check that user supplied a value before referencing

167 - Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code.
168 - Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when
169 updating all volumes in a Pool.
170 - Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr.
171 - Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that
172 two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time.
173 - Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape,
175 - Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
176 a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
177 - Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger
179 - Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
180 - Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
181 up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
182 - Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from
184 - Implement additional command line options for update Volume.
185 - Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating
186 all Volumes in a pool.
188 Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
190 - Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
192 - Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
193 so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
194 - Allow users to specify user/group and start options
195 for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
197 Release 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
199 - Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
200 list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
201 lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
203 - Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
204 pool by releasing free buffers.
206 - Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
207 - Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
209 - Make db_lock() mutex error fail the job rather than abort
210 Bacula. Canceling the job caused the mutex to fail.
211 - Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
212 number of items goes to zero.
213 - Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
214 so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
216 - Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
217 and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
218 These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
219 a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
220 messages will generally print for each JobId because they
221 represent the different problems with either the same drive
222 or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
223 of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
224 or greater is enabled in the SD.
226 - Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
227 the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
228 the job can be manually started from the console.
229 - During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
230 StorageId is zero (old Media records).
234 - Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
235 slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
236 - Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
237 - Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
238 drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
241 - Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
243 - Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
244 differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
245 hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
246 util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
248 - Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
249 incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
250 routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
251 from under the walk routines.
253 Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
255 - Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
256 premature termination of the reservation if all drives
257 are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
259 - Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
261 Beta release 23Dec05:
263 - Add OPENSSL_INC to console dependencies, lib dependencies, and
264 wx-console dependencies in Makefile.in
265 - Add OPENSSL INC/LIB to gnome2_console Makefile.in.
266 - Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
267 volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
269 - Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
270 - Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
271 it is not an autochanger.
272 - Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
273 This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
274 rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
275 file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
276 - Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
277 if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
279 - Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
280 - Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
281 - Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
282 code. This should fix bug #500.
284 - Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
285 - Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
287 - If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
289 - Delete old bnet packet code.
290 - Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
292 - Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
293 only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
295 Beta release 20Dec05:
297 - Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
298 reported by Wolfgang Denk
300 - Implement load balancing code.
301 - Pull a few files from 1.39 where we can maintain compatibility.

303 more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
304 jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
306 - Remove quotes from Version table name -- it breaks things.
307 - Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
308 - Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
310 - Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
311 - Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
312 - Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
313 Beta release 14Dec05:
315 - Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
316 for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
317 - Add quotes around table Version because of
318 error in MySQL 4.1.15 -- bug report submitted.
319 - Correct some minor problems with btape in the fill
321 - Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
322 - Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
323 - Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
324 and always open nonblocking.
325 - Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
326 - Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
327 - Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
329 - With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
332 - Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
333 - When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
334 - Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
335 - Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
337 - Use localhost if no network configured

340 - Remove debug print.
341 - Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
342 Beta release 10Dec05:
344 - Merge updates into 1.38 branch
345 - Update specs to include mysql4 define.
346 - Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
347 - Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
348 and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
349 to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
350 - Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
352 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
353 correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
355 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)

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