1 Technical notes on version 1.38
6 Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
8 - Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
9 premature termination of the reservation if all drives
10 are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
12 - Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
16 - Add OPENSSL_INC to console dependencies, lib dependencies, and
17 wx-console dependencies in Makefile.in
18 - Add OPENSSL INC/LIB to gnome2_console Makefile.in.
19 - Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
20 volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
22 - Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
23 - Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
24 it is not an autochanger.
25 - Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
26 This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
27 rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
28 file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
29 - Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
30 if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
32 - Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
33 - Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
34 - Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
35 code. This should fix bug #500.
37 - Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
38 - Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
40 - If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
42 - Delete old bnet packet code.
43 - Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
45 - Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
46 only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
50 - Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
51 reported by Wolfgang Denk
53 - Implement load balancing code.
54 - Pull a few files from 1.39 where we can maintain compatibility.
55 - Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
56 more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
57 jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
59 - Remove quotes from Version table name -- it breaks things.
60 - Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
61 - Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
63 - Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
64 - Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
65 - Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
68 - Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
69 for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
70 - Add quotes around table Version because of
71 error in MySQL 4.1.15 -- bug report submitted.
72 - Correct some minor problems with btape in the fill
74 - Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
75 - Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
76 - Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
77 and always open nonblocking.
78 - Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
79 - Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
80 - Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
82 - With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
85 - Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
86 - When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
87 - Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
88 - Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
90 - Use localhost if no network configured
92 - Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
94 - Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
97 - Merge updates into 1.38 branch
98 - Update specs to include mysql4 define.
99 - Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
100 - Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
101 and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
102 to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
103 - Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
105 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
106 correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
108 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
109 to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
112 - Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
114 - Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
115 from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
117 - Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
118 Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
119 - Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
120 errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
121 - Add sanity check in append.c to ensure that dcr is not NULL.
122 This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
123 channel and drive indicies do not correspond.
125 - Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
126 - Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
127 - Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
129 - Add back next_vol index code so that two drive autochangers can get
131 - Change a bunch of debug levels to aid debugging autochangers.
132 - Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
133 - Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
136 - Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
137 If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
138 "list nextvol days=xx"
141 My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
142 next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
145 - Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
146 - Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault
148 - Applied user patch to improve README.vc8 in src/win32.
