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

197 - Landon merged his data encription changes into the HEAD
198 - Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
199 If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with

204 next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
