14 kes Fix some #ifdefing so that Solaris and FreeBSD compile
15 sys/stat.h was turned off.
16 kes Use suffix editing for new transfer rate messages.
17 kes Attempt to come up with a workaround which seems to be an OS
18 bug where write() returns EBUSY. IMO this should not happen.
19 It triggered in truncatebug test. The workaround retries using

39 kes Turn off new test code in src/console.c
43 - Incremented the version number to signify that all of Robert's code
44 for Win32 that was in the branch is now integrated into the HEAD,
45 and that Eric has submitted code that we hope will provide limited
46 backward compatibility with 1.38 file daemons (more testing to be
48 - I rationalized a few of the names of the variables (mainly jcr names)
49 that are used during migration as keeping three different jcrs at the
50 same time clear in one's head is not easy.
54 - Tweak new runscript feature to work with 1.38.x FDs.
55 - Correct crypto.c to fix segfault when restoring an encrypted stream
56 on fd which don't use rsa keys.
57 - Add yes/no english keywords on localised yes/no questions.
59 - Several important commits from Robert Nelson for code cleanup and
61 - Modify console.c so that when conio is enabled, it converts \n to
62 \n\r before outputting to the console. Hopefully this will fix
63 the problems with expect in Perl that Eric saw.
65 - Change cats/sql.c to elimate %-*s format, which I think is turned
67 - Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
68 - Allow true/false in some yes/no questions.
69 - Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
70 - Remove a few /n's when scanning commands from another daemon. This
71 permits adding additional fields later.
72 - Modify dbcheck to handle ctl-d and to delete Log table entries.
75 - Tweak authentication to work with 1.38.x FDs.
76 - Tweak catalog make scripts.
77 - Fix catalog upgrade scripts so that they work.
78 - Correct despooling debug code to eliminate race condition.
80 - Add additional fields as specified by Arno to LocationLog.
81 - Add comment field to the Media record.
82 - Add Time field to the Log record.
83 - Correct migration SQL (thanks to Bill Moran) so that it
84 runs with PostgreSQL also.
85 - Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
87 - Spend a lot of time integrating mkcdrec with the rescue disk.
88 - Add VOLMGMT message class for volume management messages (none yet).
89 - Add CATALOG as a destination. It goes into the LOG table.
90 - Implement the Log table in the DB.
91 - Implement the Location Log table in the DB (for user use).
92 - At Eric's request add a run_scripts() just after blast_data in
95 - Add Enabled column to Location, correct some typos in DB schemas.
96 - Correct bug I introduced into RunScripts enum.
97 - Add log table to Catalog
98 - Purge original job migrated if the migration terminates normally.
99 - Cleanup purging of files/jobs so that it is done only in a
101 - Add new VOLMGMT message class.
102 - Add Catalog message destination (user conf code remains to be written).
104 - Modify read_record and friends to properly deal with migration
106 - Update debug code in read_record.
108 ======================= Warning ==========================
109 Separate read and write storage in Jobs in the Director. This
110 is a major rewrite of some of the low level code and hence has
111 a high probability of introducing bugs.
112 ==========================================================
114 - Move the job init code up to *before* the job is put into
115 the job queue (resource allocation queue). This permits the
116 job to establish whether it will read or write or do both.
117 - Add name() methods to all the resource classes.
118 - Implement separate read and write storage resource
119 allocation/deallocation in jobq.c
121 ======================= Warning ==========================
122 Implemented new method of getting the default Storage from the Media
123 record rather than from the MediaType for restore. As a fall
124 back, if no Storage is defined, use the MediaType. This
125 eliminates most all prompts if there are multiple MediaTypes
126 used. This is an important and fundamental change.
127 ==========================================================
129 - Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
131 - More code in migrate. In particular start multiple jobs if
133 - Probably overkill, but ensure that the bsr is unique even within a
135 - Rework bsys.c drop() so that it now should work as expected.
136 - Update a bunch of old copyrights -- particularly in .h files.
137 - Remove src/lib/bshm.c/h
141 ======================= Warning ==========================
142 All hash codes in the database are now kept in world
143 compatible base64 format (no = filling). This means that
144 all FileSets will be updated and if you are running
145 verify jobs, you must do an InitCatalog.
146 Authentication uses the new algorithm, but should be
147 backward compatible with 1.38.x
148 ===========================================================
150 - Modify the authentication routines so that the 1.39.15 Director
151 always runs with the compatible binary to base64 code (same as
152 the rest of the world). It will however detect if an SD or
153 FD is running the old code and if that is the case, will use
154 the old algorithm for authentication. However, all consoles must
155 use the compatible algorithm, and all data entered into the database
156 (all hash signatures, MD5, SHA1, ..., and all FileSet hashes) will
157 use the compatible algorithm.
158 - Rename the cram_md5 routine names to be slightly more appropriate
159 to what they are doing (challenge and respond).
160 - Robert committed his #ifdef and header cleanup.
162 - Fix a complier warning in files/backup.c
163 - Cleanup NOT NULL vs DEFALT 0 in database creation.
165 - Robert committed his low impact changes.
166 - I removed a size_t from the jcr.h definition.
167 - Update the tape regression scripts (still to be tested).
168 - Add gcc and gcc-c++ requires to srm as suggested by a user.
169 - Require done or quit to exit from in memory tree restore.
171 - Write install/uninstall of new manpages. There are now a
172 pile of man pages. Some of which need a lot of work.
174 ======================= Warning ==========================
175 The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level
176 man directory. The man files will be installed under
177 mandir/man8 and mandir/man1 as appropriate.
178 ==========================================================
180 - Add complete text of GPL to LICENSE.
181 - Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
182 came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
183 it is all very complicated.
184 - Create a few common subroutines for backup.c and migrate.c
185 - Eliminate warning messages from tray-monitor.c
187 - Apply fix for scheduler for missing unlock_jobs().
188 - Clean out autoconf caches before rebuilding configure
189 - Fix the FreeBSD pthreads lib define updated by Dan.
190 - Add missing semicolon in src/console/console.c
191 - Add Robert's enhanced version of build-win32-cross-tools
192 as well as his patch file.
193 - Note, the new gcc options are likely to break building of
194 wx-console or the tray-monitor ...
196 - Implement Robert's suggestion to suppress printing compile lines.
197 - Detect GCC correctly (I hope)
198 - If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
199 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
201 ===================== Warning =============================
202 Turn on new bsnprintf() code. This could cause print output
204 ===========================================================
206 - Fix crypto when not using openssl. I previously overlooked this.
207 - Eliminate crypto type punning problems by eliminating void * and
208 using uint8_t * instead.
209 - Harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
210 and forcing a 6 second wait.
212 ===================== Warning =============================
213 Removed "Accept Any Volume" directive.
214 ===========================================================
216 - Major cleanup and simplification of regress using shell functions
217 (more tests to be converted to new format)
218 - Add detection of 64 bit Irix as indicated by user.
219 - Increment catalog database id from 9 to 10.
220 - Add a few of the new database fields to the various C++
222 - Implement code to fill in the most important new fields (e.g.
224 - Ensure that most of the new fields are in create/get/insert/update.
225 More work to be done.
227 - Update some very old licenses in src/cats.
228 - Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
229 Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
231 Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
232 Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
233 Add Cost to Location table.
234 - Delete mac_record subroutines.
235 - Add new table values to create/update/get routines as appropriate.
236 - Update the update_tables and make_tables scripts.
237 - Make a first cut in using a union where multiple pointers (actually
238 pointers to pointers) are stored.
239 - Make some changes to base64.c suggested by Robert and others and add
240 a small amount of documentation.
241 - Add some changes suggested by Peter for Solaris (bregex...)
242 - Make runscript.h always built because it needs to be pulled into
243 more places. In particular its RES was left out of a union.
244 - Renumber the enum{} list in runscript.h to avoid starting from zero.
245 This makes it slightly easier to detect uninitialized variables.
247 - Remove xpg4 lib from FreeBSD build as it is no longer needed and
248 sometimes creates install problems.
249 - Change a couple of %T in strftime to %H:%M:%S as seen in Robert
250 Nelson's code. More to do.
251 - Convert a few store_bit to store_bool in filed_conf.c.
252 - DVD tweak to block.c as supplied by Uwe Muessel.
254 - Modify configure.in to check for typeof().
255 - In findlib/attribs.c use typeof instead of templates if possible.
257 - Implement partial error messages for src/filed/acl.c
258 - Fix return code to fail when doing update barcodes and
259 Pool resource is not found. This previously caused Volumes
260 to be labeled as cleaning tapes.
261 - Small updates to projects.
263 - Add Eric Bollengier patch for new RunScript directive. It breaks
264 compatibility between dird and fd.
266 - Prevent DVD code from rewriting label if the device cannot be
268 - Used __GNUC__ to detect GNU g++ as suggested by John Goerzen to
269 fix Debian build bug.
270 - Fix Dir/SD run race in migrate.c, verify.c, and restore.c
271 - Integrate manpages contributed by Jose Luis.
272 - Update projects file.
273 - Add manpages Makefile.in to configure.in
274 - Remove installation of bacula.8 in scripts directory.
276 - Implement patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME
278 O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
279 updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
280 happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
281 prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
282 only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
283 programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
286 Recent versions of the Linux kernel and glibc have support for it (the
287 glibc support being mostly copying the O_NOATIME definition to
288 bits/fcntl.h). If there's no support for it on the kernel, trying to use
289 it does nothing (since the kernel ignores unknown flags).
291 If the kernel has support for it, trying to use it either works, fails
292 silently (mostly in remote filesystems), or returns errno=EPERM (if you
293 are not either the owner of the file or root). A simple way to prevent the
294 failure is to open the file without the flag and set it later with
295 fcntl(F_SETFL), ignoring any EPERM errors.
296 - Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure
297 of restarted jobs to complete (due to a destroyed pthreads conditional
298 variable used by the message thread).
299 - Fixed bug #619 where Bacula would not restart jobs with MaxRestartTimes
301 - Apply patch from John Goerzen bug #611 to fix bad manual links in the code.
302 - Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #614 to removed trailing
303 colons in query.sql file.
304 - Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #613 to correct prunning of files
305 not to create orphans.
306 - Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #617 to use mtime instead of ctime
307 in restore long listing.
308 - Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #609 to use MarkId in verify.c instead
309 of incorrect MarkedId.
310 - Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace
311 Director with File daemon).
312 - Rework a few of the zlib changes so that they build properly.
315 - Move DIR "run" command to SD before starting the message thread
316 as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from
317 two threads using the bsock structure.
318 - Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
320 - Correct EOF with no \n lex.c problem.
321 - Tweak compat.h compat.cpp and merge with apcupsd
322 - Add additional INFO messages if autochanger cannot be used.
325 - Simplify Win32 Makefile
326 - Correct count of buffers/bytes used by smartall.c
327 - Updated compat.h after porting apcupsd to MinGW.
329 - Work on getting wx-console building on MinGW. wxWidgets now builds
330 started adding Makefile ...
331 - Moved MinGW library objects to src/win32/lib to reduce clutter.
333 - Reloading a bad configuration file doesn't kill director any more.
334 Thanks to fix from Eric Bollengier.
336 - Fix problem of accents with new Win32 code.
337 - Integrate Howard's VSS patch. Tweak it a bit. VSS now
338 works in the MinGW build with the exception that there
339 is a problem with accented characters -- i.e. there is
340 some mapping problem with wide characters.
341 - The code no longer compiles with Microsoft VC++.
343 - Start implementing Christopher's St.Bernard code.
344 - Add Christopher's mods for opening files.
345 - Strip \r \n from Win32 error messages (Christopher)
346 - Add more info about Win32 system if unknown (Christopher)
347 - Use bstrn(cpy, cat) routines to avoid overrun in compat.cpp
348 - Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
349 they should not be (e.g. commands).
350 - Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
351 Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
352 - Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
353 listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
355 - Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
356 and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
357 - Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
358 machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
359 there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
360 FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
362 - Remove lib/regex.c (replaced by bregex.c).
363 - Delete src/win32/License.txt
364 - Modify installer to install LICENSE
366 - Fix bug in build-win32-cross-tools script reported by Howard
367 - Implement cross compiled bconsole
369 - Fix barcode test, eliminate BOOL (doesn't exist on Linux).
370 - Write first cut of README.mingw32
371 - Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
372 - Integrate the majority of the Mingw cross-tools submission
373 made by Howard Thomson. Everything compiles, with zlib, openssl,
374 and VSS turned off. Linking needs a pthreads library ...
376 - Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
377 - More work on migration.
378 - Restore non-compatible base64 coding to permit compatibility.
379 - Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
381 - Integrate most of the MinGW changes -- more to do.
383 - Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
384 Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
385 - Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
386 working directory. Fixes bug #578.
387 - Update job start time after the any run before job so that
388 files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
390 - Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
391 the restore command when reading a file. This permits
392 the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
393 bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
394 - Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
395 command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
396 the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
397 was suggested by the user.
398 - Implement a compatible version of base64. This permits external
399 programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
400 routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
402 ================= Note ========================
403 Previous Signatures stored in the database are no longer
404 compatible with this. The main downside is for Verify jobs,
405 and doing an InitCatalog run will fix the problem. Also, the
406 authentication between the deamons is changed, so all daemons
407 must be simultaneously upgraded.
408 ==============================================
409 If you don't like this fix, set:
410 const bool compatible = true;
412 const bool compatible = false;
415 - Ensure that DB signature is never NULL.
416 - Ensure that DB table names are not translated.
417 - Fix scheduler to handle time skew (eg daylight savings).
418 - Fix scheduler to use lock_jobs() to avoid most problems
419 with reload. Window is now milliseconds.
421 - Apply patch from Christopher Hull
422 - Allow multiple connections to database with different
424 - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
425 fault, but still 60 second window.

556 - Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
557 - Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
558 terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
559 SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
560 mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
561 use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
562 - Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
563 lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.
564 - Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with

597 - Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid.
598 - Add ACL checking for the dot commands.
599 - Fix restore of writable FIFOs.
600 - Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early.
602 - Modify the Python class examples to inherit object -- new way
603 of defining classes. Patch from Felix Schwarz.
604 - Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
605 suggested by Eric Bollengier.
606 - Apply patch for enhancing wait from Eric Bollengier. On can now:
607 wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
609 wait jobuid=unique id
611 - Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
612 Job Level, only during JobInit event.
614 - Fix the block listing bug pointed out by Arno.
615 - Update the po files at Eric's request.
617 - Fix Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to

626 Volume is in the autochanger.
627 - Implement additional command arguments for update Volume.
631 - Back port changes to 1.38.5
632 - Fix recycle SQL for StorageId.
633 - Fix misplaced quote in mtx-changer script.

644 - Change bsr file keyword Storage to Device, which is more accurate.
645 - Ensure that Mac records are pruned/purged.
646 - Tweak SD tools to deal with changing media type.
647 - Integrate more dev.c subroutines as methods (e.g. strerror, bsr, ...)
648 - Pass pointer to dcr pointer to acquire_device_for_read() so
649 that the subroutine can switch devices, and hence dcrs.
650 - Modify the multiple MediaType read code to re-use the same
651 dcr when switching devices. This makes the code much more
653 - Integrate patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
654 from a table for restore.
655 - Add Storage name to VolParams, but it really should be Device.
657 - Add disk-changer to scripts directory + configure/Makefile

688 This reduces significantly the memory consumption during
689 the restore tree building, and hence runs faster too.
690 - Implement StorageId patch supplied by user (reggie) in bug
691 #536. This should permit Bacula to work correctly with two
693 - Implement Job listing variations suggested by a user.
694 - Move updating bootstrap code in backup.c to subroutine
695 update_bootstrap_file().
696 - Add new job status elapsed time and bytes written user
697 friendly job report output patch sent by John Kodis

704 DIR crash when no arguments are supplied to a dot command.
705 - Fix typo (strcpy->strcmp) in ua_prune.c as reported by Martin.
706 - Fix command arg name->volume in label command of gnome-console.
707 - Fix SD acquire.c to release correct DCR by explicitly testing
708 on the dcr address rather than trying to devine if it is a read
709 or write dcr. This failed in error conditions when the device was
713 - Apply user supplied patch for more readable rate output
715 - Continue implementing migration.
716 - Implement support for removable filesystems in SD.
717 - Ensure that btraceback scripts can be read by anyone.
718 - Replace dvd-freespace and dvd-writepart by dvd-handler.
719 - Correct bug where canceling restore before the FD contacts
720 the SD causes the drive to be left in read mode.

722 - Eliminate close_device.
723 - Convert several dev subroutines to methods (e.g. bsf,
725 - Eliminate force_close_device().
726 - Implement Device Type directive in Device resource that
727 can have values File, Tape, Fifo, DVD, or Prog.
728 - Add has_cap() method to Device.
731 - Add patch from bug #527 to allow RedHat user to specify
732 options/user/group for starting each daemon in
735 - Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
736 list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
737 lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
739 - Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
740 pool by releasing free buffers.
742 - Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
743 - Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
745 - Make db_lock() mutex error fail the job rather than abort
746 Bacula. Canceling the job caused the mutex to fail.
747 - Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
748 number of items goes to zero.
749 - Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
750 so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
752 - Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
753 and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
754 These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
755 a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
756 messages will generally print for each JobId because they
757 represent the different problems with either the same drive
758 or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
759 of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
760 or greater is enabled in the SD.
762 - Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
763 the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
764 the job can be manually started from the console.
765 - During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
766 StorageId is zero (old Media records).
770 - Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
771 slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
772 - Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
773 - Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
774 drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
777 - Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
779 - Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
780 differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
781 hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
782 util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
784 - Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
785 incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
786 routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
787 from under the walk routines.
792 - Start implementing Verify list output.
793 - Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
794 premature termination of the reservation if all drives
795 are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
797 - Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
799 - Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
800 volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
802 - Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
803 - Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
804 it is not an autochanger.
805 - Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
806 This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
807 rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
808 file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
809 - Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
810 if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
812 - Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
813 - Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
814 - Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
815 code. This should fix bug #500.
817 - Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
818 - Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
820 - If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
822 - Delete old bnet packet code.
823 - Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
824 wx-console. -- not implemented because bconsole must be updated.
825 - Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
826 only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
828 - Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
829 reported by Wolfgang Denk
830 - Pull in latest reservation system changes from 1.38
831 - Make .messages command always print messages regardless
832 of the automessages flag.

848 - Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
849 - Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
850 and always open nonblocking.
851 - Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
852 - Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
853 - Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
855 - With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
857 - Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
858 - When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
859 - Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
860 - Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
864 - Add stubs for non-crypto build.
866 - Use localhost if no network configured
868 - Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
869 - Remove debug print.
870 - Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
872 - Merge changes made to 1.38.3 into HEAD

876 - Merge updates into 1.38 branch
877 - Update specs to include mysql4 define.
878 - Fix when attributes are sent, must be after binit().
879 - Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
880 - Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
881 and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
882 to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
883 - Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
885 - Fix Win32 built to work with new crypto code.
886 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
887 correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.

896 from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
897 - Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
898 appear at the end of the job rather than mixted with the restore
899 listing where they could be "lost".
901 - Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
902 Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
903 - Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
904 errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
905 - Add sanity check in append.c to ensure that dcr is not NULL.
906 This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
907 channel and drive indicies do not correspond.
