1 Technical notes on version 1.39
8 - Continue implementing migration.
9 - Implement support for removable filesystems in SD.
10 - Ensure that btraceback scripts can be read by anyone.
11 - Replace dvd-freespace and dvd-writepart by dvd-handler.
12 - Correct bug where canceling restore before the FD contacts
13 the SD causes the drive to be left in read mode.
14 - Move ofline_or_rewind into DEVICE::close().
15 - Eliminate close_device.
16 - Convert several dev subroutines to methods (e.g. bsf,
18 - Eliminate force_close_device().
19 - Implement Device Type directive in Device resource that
20 can have values File, Tape, Fifo, DVD, or Prog.
21 - Add has_cap() method to Device.
24 - Add patch from bug #527 to allow RedHat user to specify
25 options/user/group for starting each daemon in
28 - Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
29 list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
30 lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
32 - Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
33 pool by releasing free buffers.
35 - Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
36 - Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
38 - Make db_lock() mutex error fail the job rather than abort
39 Bacula. Canceling the job caused the mutex to fail.
40 - Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
41 number of items goes to zero.
42 - Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
43 so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
45 - Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
46 and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
47 These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
48 a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
49 messages will generally print for each JobId because they
50 represent the different problems with either the same drive
51 or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
52 of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
53 or greater is enabled in the SD.
55 - Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
56 the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
57 the job can be manually started from the console.
58 - During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
59 StorageId is zero (old Media records).
63 - Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
64 slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
65 - Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
66 - Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
67 drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
70 - Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
72 - Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
73 differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
74 hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
75 util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
77 - Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
78 incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
79 routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
80 from under the walk routines.
85 - Start implementing Verify list output.
86 - Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
87 premature termination of the reservation if all drives
88 are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
90 - Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
92 - Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
93 volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
95 - Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
96 - Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
97 it is not an autochanger.
98 - Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
99 This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
100 rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
101 file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
102 - Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
103 if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
105 - Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
106 - Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
107 - Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
108 code. This should fix bug #500.
110 - Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
111 - Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
113 - If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
115 - Delete old bnet packet code.
116 - Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
118 - Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
119 only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
121 - Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
122 reported by Wolfgang Denk
123 - Pull in latest reservation system changes from 1.38
124 - Make .messages command always print messages regardless
125 of the automessages flag.
127 - Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directory bug #513
128 - Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
130 - Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
131 - Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
132 - Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
134 - Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
135 for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
136 - Add quotes around table Version because of
137 error in MySQL 4.1.15 -- bug report submitted.
138 - Correct some minor problems with btape in the fill
140 - Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
141 - Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
142 - Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
143 and always open nonblocking.
144 - Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
145 - Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
146 - Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
148 - With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
150 - Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
151 - When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
152 - Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
153 - Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
157 - Add stubs for non-crypto build.
159 - Use localhost if no network configured
161 - Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
162 - Remove debug print.
163 - Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
165 - Merge changes made to 1.38.3 into HEAD
166 - Add stubs for pygtk-console code
167 - Create Makefile.in for pygtk-console code
169 - Merge updates into 1.38 branch
170 - Update specs to include mysql4 define.
171 - Fix when attributes are sent, must be after binit().
172 - Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
173 - Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
174 and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
175 to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
176 - Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
178 - Fix Win32 built to work with new crypto code.
179 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
180 correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
182 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
183 to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
186 - Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
188 - Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
189 from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
190 - Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
191 appear at the end of the job rather than mixted with the restore
192 listing where they could be "lost".
194 - Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
195 Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
196 - Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
197 errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
198 - Add sanity check in append.c to ensure that dcr is not NULL.
199 This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
200 channel and drive indicies do not correspond.
202 - Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
203 - Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
