1 Technical notes on version 1.39
5 kes If doing a mount, look for a slot, and if specified pass it to
6 the SD so that it can load the autochanger.
7 kes Return DVD=1 flag if a label command is done to a DVD. This
8 permits setting VolParts to 1.
9 kes Apply DVD patch from Richard Mortimer <richm@oldelvet.org.uk>, but
10 rework ua_label code based on DVD media type to use DVD flag returned.
12 kes Eliminate some compile warnings in dird_conf.c
13 kes Format the bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
14 command for the three daemons with suffixes to reduce print size
15 of backup bytes. Suggested by a user.
16 kes When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
17 triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer.
18 kes Do not unload autochanger when doing a list command -- basic code
21 kes Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
22 from File= was not found.
23 kes Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
24 do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
25 have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
26 Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
28 kes Defined BUILDING_CATS in src/cats/cats.h so that *nix builds.
29 dsb Updated rpm spec for 1.39 - updatedb 9 to 10, add new man pages,
30 fix bug 648 - update sqlite script patches, lock out gnome2console
31 builds for platforms with gtk+ < 2.4.
32 Updated build_rpm.sh - add remote source directory, add switch for
33 signing, refine file names.
34 Updated spec file again for Mandriva build as they have this curious
35 custom of silently converting all manpages to bzip2 format just before
36 the final packaging step.
38 rbn Fixed the Windows Makefiles so that they won't accidently try and
39 pickup binaries for the Unix build. This allows both the Unix
40 build and the Windows build to be built in the same tree without
41 interfering with each other.
42 rbn Fixed error handling and cleaned up mtx-changer.cmd.
43 rbn Added the rest of the database scripts. These are installed but are
44 not yet editted for variable replacement.
45 rbn Broke out the cats functionality from bacula.dll and put into new
46 separate dlls for each database type. At installation time the
47 correct one is copied to bacula_cats.dll.
48 rbn Eliminate the need to install the mysql.dll on client only builds.
49 rbn Moved dird/sql_cmds.c into the cats directory so all the database
50 specific #ifdefs were in the cats directory.
51 rbn Added a new sql_cmds.h with all the declarations for the variables
52 exported from sql_cmds.c.
53 rbn Moved catalog_db[] from lib/message.c to a new routine db_get_type()
54 which is implemented in bdb.c, mysql.c, postgresql.c and sqlite.c in
56 kes Correct improperly formated list command output reported by Dan.
58 kes Correct despool time calculation.
60 kes Remove previous changes to compat.cpp as they create problems.
61 kes Use old style MD5 for FileSets to avoid Full saves on every Job.
62 kes Attempt to fix problems with the msg_queue crashing on Solaris
63 when Bacula is terminating, but problems remain.
64 kes Add WIN32_VSS to HAVES in src/Makefile.inc.in to correct VSS
65 name editing problems with too many \\?\es.
66 kes Fix some Bacula source code stlye problems in compat.cpp.
67 kes Add debug code to compat.cpp and convert non-Bacula debug code
70 kes Change the name of the technical notes file from kes-1.39 to
71 technotes-1.39. Prefix my messages with 'kes '.
72 kes Allow dequeue_messages() to be called twice. Should fix bug
74 kes Add Job type to bscan Job information output.
76 kes Update copyright date in program files, and for the most part
78 kes Implement %q in bsnprintf.c apparently I forgot it.
80 kes Make disk-changer sed command compatible with FreeBSD.
81 kes Make a first cut at a ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog for a
83 kes Make make clean decend into the src/win32 directory.
84 kes Fix some #ifdefing so that Solaris and FreeBSD compile
85 sys/stat.h was turned off.
86 kes Use suffix editing for new transfer rate messages.
87 kes Attempt to come up with a workaround which seems to be an OS
88 bug where write() returns EBUSY. IMO this should not happen.
89 It triggered in truncatebug test. The workaround retries using
91 kes Eliminate a strerror() call in a class method that failed with
93 kes Use rm -rf rather than rmdir to delete the src/win32/release
94 directory during make clean.
96 kes Make bscan ignore ACL streams.
97 kes Update projects files with new Feature Requests.
98 kes Generate current English and French manuals and upload
100 kes Update the home page to include the new British/French flags to
101 switch between translations. Work done by Alexandre Baron.
102 kes Make disk-changer script print an error message if the changer
103 directory is not defined.
104 kes Create a generic DB routine for getting an int (32/64 bit) from
106 kes Add more migration code.
107 kes Add a few more files to .cvsignore here and there.
108 kes Minor fixes for SD write rate and despooling rate.
109 kes Turn off new test code in src/console.c
113 kes Incremented the version number to signify that all of Robert's code
114 for Win32 that was in the branch is now integrated into the HEAD,
115 and that Eric has submitted code that we hope will provide limited
116 backward compatibility with 1.38 file daemons (more testing to be
118 kes I rationalized a few of the names of the variables (mainly jcr names)
119 that are used during migration as keeping three different jcrs at the
120 same time clear in one's head is not easy.
124 eb Tweak new runscript feature to work with 1.38.x FDs.
125 eb Correct crypto.c to fix segfault when restoring an encrypted stream
126 on fd which don't use rsa keys.
127 eb Add yes/no english keywords on localised yes/no questions.
129 kes Several important commits from Robert Nelson for code cleanup and
131 kes Modify console.c so that when conio is enabled, it converts \n to
132 \n\r before outputting to the console. Hopefully this will fix
133 the problems with expect in Perl that Eric saw.
135 kes Change cats/sql.c to elimate %-*s format, which I think is turned
137 kes Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
138 kes Allow true/false in some yes/no questions.
139 kes Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
140 kes Remove a few /n's when scanning commands from another daemon. This
141 permits adding additional fields later.
142 kes Modify dbcheck to handle ctl-d and to delete Log table entries.
143 kes Update README.mingw
145 kes Tweak authentication to work with 1.38.x FDs.
146 kes Tweak catalog make scripts.
147 kes Fix catalog upgrade scripts so that they work.
148 kes Correct despooling debug code to eliminate race condition.
150 kes Add additional fields as specified by Arno to LocationLog.
151 kes Add comment field to the Media record.
152 kes Add Time field to the Log record.
153 kes Correct migration SQL (thanks to Bill Moran) so that it
154 runs with PostgreSQL also.
155 kes Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
157 kes Spend a lot of time integrating mkcdrec with the rescue disk.
158 kes Add VOLMGMT message class for volume management messages (none yet).
159 kes Add CATALOG as a destination. It goes into the LOG table.
160 kes Implement the Log table in the DB.
161 kes Implement the Location Log table in the DB (for user use).
162 kes At Eric's request add a run_scripts() just after blast_data in
165 kes Add Enabled column to Location, correct some typos in DB schemas.
166 kes Correct bug I introduced into RunScripts enum.
167 kes Add log table to Catalog
168 kes Purge original job migrated if the migration terminates normally.
169 kes Cleanup purging of files/jobs so that it is done only in a
171 kes Add new VOLMGMT message class.
172 kes Add Catalog message destination (user conf code remains to be written).
174 kes Modify read_record and friends to properly deal with migration
176 kes Update debug code in read_record.
178 ======================= Warning ==========================
179 Separate read and write storage in Jobs in the Director. This
180 is a major rewrite of some of the low level code and hence has
181 a high probability of introducing bugs.
182 ==========================================================
184 kes Move the job init code up to *before* the job is put into
185 the job queue (resource allocation queue). This permits the
186 job to establish whether it will read or write or do both.
187 kes Add name() methods to all the resource classes.
188 kes Implement separate read and write storage resource
189 allocation/deallocation in jobq.c
191 ======================= Warning ==========================
192 Implemented new method of getting the default Storage from the Media
193 record rather than from the MediaType for restore. As a fall
194 back, if no Storage is defined, use the MediaType. This
195 eliminates most all prompts if there are multiple MediaTypes
196 used. This is an important and fundamental change.
197 ==========================================================
199 kes Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
201 kes More code in migrate. In particular start multiple jobs if
203 kes Probably overkill, but ensure that the bsr is unique even within a
205 kes Rework bsys.c drop() so that it now should work as expected.
206 kes Update a bunch of old copyrights -kes particularly in .h files.
207 kes Remove src/lib/bshm.c/h
211 ======================= Warning ==========================
212 All hash codes in the database are now kept in world
213 compatible base64 format (no = filling). This means that
214 all FileSets will be updated and if you are running
215 verify jobs, you must do an InitCatalog.
216 Authentication uses the new algorithm, but should be
217 backward compatible with 1.38.x
218 ===========================================================
220 kes Modify the authentication routines so that the 1.39.15 Director
221 always runs with the compatible binary to base64 code (same as
222 the rest of the world). It will however detect if an SD or
223 FD is running the old code and if that is the case, will use
224 the old algorithm for authentication. However, all consoles must
225 use the compatible algorithm, and all data entered into the database
226 (all hash signatures, MD5, SHA1, ..., and all FileSet hashes) will
227 use the compatible algorithm.
228 kes Rename the cram_md5 routine names to be slightly more appropriate
229 to what they are doing (challenge and respond).
230 kes Robert committed his #ifdef and header cleanup.
232 kes Fix a complier warning in files/backup.c
233 kes Cleanup NOT NULL vs DEFALT 0 in database creation.
235 kes Robert committed his low impact changes.
236 kes I removed a size_t from the jcr.h definition.
237 kes Update the tape regression scripts (still to be tested).
238 kes Add gcc and gcc-c++ requires to srm as suggested by a user.
239 kes Require done or quit to exit from in memory tree restore.
241 kes Write install/uninstall of new manpages. There are now a
242 pile of man pages. Some of which need a lot of work.
244 ======================= Warning ==========================
245 The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level
246 man directory. The man files will be installed under
247 mandir/man8 and mandir/man1 as appropriate.
248 ==========================================================
250 kes Add complete text of GPL to LICENSE.
251 kes Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
252 came from -kes with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
253 it is all very complicated.
254 kes Create a few common subroutines for backup.c and migrate.c
255 kes Eliminate warning messages from tray-monitor.c
257 kes Apply fix for scheduler for missing unlock_jobs().
258 kes Clean out autoconf caches before rebuilding configure
259 kes Fix the FreeBSD pthreads lib define updated by Dan.
260 kes Add missing semicolon in src/console/console.c
261 kes Add Robert's enhanced version of build-win32-cross-tools
262 as well as his patch file.
263 kes Note, the new gcc options are likely to break building of
264 wx-console or the tray-monitor ...
266 kes Implement Robert's suggestion to suppress printing compile lines.
267 kes Detect GCC correctly (I hope)
268 kes If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
269 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
271 ===================== Warning =============================
272 Turn on new bsnprintf() code. This could cause print output
274 ===========================================================
276 kes Fix crypto when not using openssl. I previously overlooked this.
277 kes Eliminate crypto type punning problems by eliminating void * and
278 using uint8_t * instead.
279 kes Harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
280 and forcing a 6 second wait.
282 ===================== Warning =============================
283 Removed "Accept Any Volume" directive.
284 ===========================================================
286 kes Major cleanup and simplification of regress using shell functions
287 (more tests to be converted to new format)
288 kes Add detection of 64 bit Irix as indicated by user.
289 kes Increment catalog database id from 9 to 10.
290 kes Add a few of the new database fields to the various C++
292 kes Implement code to fill in the most important new fields (e.g.
294 kes Ensure that most of the new fields are in create/get/insert/update.
295 More work to be done.
297 kes Update some very old licenses in src/cats.
298 kes Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
299 Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
301 Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
302 Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
303 Add Cost to Location table.
304 kes Delete mac_record subroutines.
305 kes Add new table values to create/update/get routines as appropriate.
306 kes Update the update_tables and make_tables scripts.
307 kes Make a first cut in using a union where multiple pointers (actually
308 pointers to pointers) are stored.
309 kes Make some changes to base64.c suggested by Robert and others and add
310 a small amount of documentation.
311 kes Add some changes suggested by Peter for Solaris (bregex...)
312 kes Make runscript.h always built because it needs to be pulled into
313 more places. In particular its RES was left out of a union.
314 kes Renumber the enum{} list in runscript.h to avoid starting from zero.
315 This makes it slightly easier to detect uninitialized variables.
317 kes Remove xpg4 lib from FreeBSD build as it is no longer needed and
318 sometimes creates install problems.
319 kes Change a couple of %T in strftime to %H:%M:%S as seen in Robert
320 Nelson's code. More to do.
321 kes Convert a few store_bit to store_bool in filed_conf.c.
322 kes DVD tweak to block.c as supplied by Uwe Muessel.
324 kes Modify configure.in to check for typeof().
325 kes In findlib/attribs.c use typeof instead of templates if possible.
327 kes Implement partial error messages for src/filed/acl.c
328 kes Fix return code to fail when doing update barcodes and
329 Pool resource is not found. This previously caused Volumes
330 to be labeled as cleaning tapes.
331 kes Small updates to projects.
333 kes Add Eric Bollengier patch for new RunScript directive. It breaks
334 compatibility between dird and fd.
336 kes Prevent DVD code from rewriting label if the device cannot be
338 kes Used __GNUC__ to detect GNU g++ as suggested by John Goerzen to
339 fix Debian build bug.
340 kes Fix Dir/SD run race in migrate.c, verify.c, and restore.c
341 kes Integrate manpages contributed by Jose Luis.
342 kes Update projects file.
343 kes Add manpages Makefile.in to configure.in
344 kes Remove installation of bacula.8 in scripts directory.
346 kes Implement patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME
348 O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
349 updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
350 happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
351 prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
352 only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
353 programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
356 Recent versions of the Linux kernel and glibc have support for it (the
357 glibc support being mostly copying the O_NOATIME definition to
358 bits/fcntl.h). If there's no support for it on the kernel, trying to use
359 it does nothing (since the kernel ignores unknown flags).
361 If the kernel has support for it, trying to use it either works, fails
362 silently (mostly in remote filesystems), or returns errno=EPERM (if you
363 are not either the owner of the file or root). A simple way to prevent the
364 failure is to open the file without the flag and set it later with
365 fcntl(F_SETFL), ignoring any EPERM errors.
366 kes Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure
367 of restarted jobs to complete (due to a destroyed pthreads conditional
368 variable used by the message thread).
369 kes Fixed bug #619 where Bacula would not restart jobs with MaxRestartTimes
371 kes Apply patch from John Goerzen bug #611 to fix bad manual links in the code.
372 kes Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #614 to removed trailing
373 colons in query.sql file.
374 kes Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #613 to correct prunning of files
375 not to create orphans.
376 kes Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #617 to use mtime instead of ctime
377 in restore long listing.
378 kes Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #609 to use MarkId in verify.c instead
379 of incorrect MarkedId.
380 kes Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace
381 Director with File daemon).
382 kes Rework a few of the zlib changes so that they build properly.
385 kes Move DIR "run" command to SD before starting the message thread
386 as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from
387 two threads using the bsock structure.
388 kes Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
390 kes Correct EOF with no \n lex.c problem.
391 kes Tweak compat.h compat.cpp and merge with apcupsd
392 kes Add additional INFO messages if autochanger cannot be used.
395 kes Simplify Win32 Makefile
396 kes Correct count of buffers/bytes used by smartall.c
397 kes Updated compat.h after porting apcupsd to MinGW.
399 kes Work on getting wx-console building on MinGW. wxWidgets now builds
400 started adding Makefile ...
401 kes Moved MinGW library objects to src/win32/lib to reduce clutter.
403 kes Reloading a bad configuration file doesn't kill director any more.
404 Thanks to fix from Eric Bollengier.
406 kes Fix problem of accents with new Win32 code.
407 kes Integrate Howard's VSS patch. Tweak it a bit. VSS now
408 works in the MinGW build with the exception that there
409 is a problem with accented characters -kes i.e. there is
410 some mapping problem with wide characters.
411 kes The code no longer compiles with Microsoft VC++.
413 kes Start implementing Christopher's St.Bernard code.
414 kes Add Christopher's mods for opening files.
415 kes Strip \r \n from Win32 error messages (Christopher)
416 kes Add more info about Win32 system if unknown (Christopher)
417 kes Use bstrn(cpy, cat) routines to avoid overrun in compat.cpp
418 kes Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
419 they should not be (e.g. commands).
420 kes Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
421 Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
422 kes Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
423 listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
425 kes Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
426 and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
427 kes Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
428 machines -kes the names should all be in Unix format, and if
429 there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
430 FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
432 kes Remove lib/regex.c (replaced by bregex.c).
433 kes Delete src/win32/License.txt
434 kes Modify installer to install LICENSE
436 kes Fix bug in build-win32-cross-tools script reported by Howard
437 kes Implement cross compiled bconsole
439 kes Fix barcode test, eliminate BOOL (doesn't exist on Linux).
440 kes Write first cut of README.mingw32
441 kes Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
442 kes Integrate the majority of the Mingw cross-tools submission
443 made by Howard Thomson. Everything compiles, with zlib, openssl,
444 and VSS turned off. Linking needs a pthreads library ...
446 kes Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
447 kes More work on migration.
448 kes Restore non-compatible base64 coding to permit compatibility.
449 kes Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
451 kes Integrate most of the MinGW changes -kes more to do.
453 kes Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
454 Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
455 kes Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
456 working directory. Fixes bug #578.
457 kes Update job start time after the any run before job so that
458 files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
460 kes Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
461 the restore command when reading a file. This permits
462 the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
463 bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
464 kes Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
465 command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
466 the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
467 was suggested by the user.
468 kes Implement a compatible version of base64. This permits external
469 programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
470 routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
472 ================= Note ========================
473 Previous Signatures stored in the database are no longer
474 compatible with this. The main downside is for Verify jobs,
475 and doing an InitCatalog run will fix the problem. Also, the
476 authentication between the deamons is changed, so all daemons
477 must be simultaneously upgraded.
478 ==============================================
479 If you don't like this fix, set:
480 const bool compatible = true;
482 const bool compatible = false;
485 kes Ensure that DB signature is never NULL.
486 kes Ensure that DB table names are not translated.
487 kes Fix scheduler to handle time skew (eg daylight savings).
488 kes Fix scheduler to use lock_jobs() to avoid most problems
489 with reload. Window is now milliseconds.
491 kes Apply patch from Christopher Hull
492 kes Allow multiple connections to database with different
494 kes Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
495 fault, but still 60 second window.
496 kes Additional info in Reschedule message.
497 kes Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
499 kes Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
500 kes Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
501 kes Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
502 kes Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
503 kes Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list.

511 kes Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
513 kes Implement a write_store and read_store to replace
514 dirstore in reserve.c
515 kes Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
516 than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.
517 kes Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in
518 as reported by a user.
520 kes Correct some problems with database creation (new tables).
521 kes Replace a bunch of old 0x%x by %p.
522 kes Get first cut of Migration with Job selection working.
524 kes Change store_bit() to store_bool() for the Spooling in
525 dird_conf.c -kes bug reported by Robert Nelson.
527 kes Correct Makefile bug found by Dan Langille.
529 kes Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh
530 kes Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh
531 kes Abort if a conf resource does not have a Name =
533 kes Change the name of the regex program to bregex.
534 kes Add the bwild program to the tools directory. It is similar
535 to the bregex program.
536 kes Implement create bregex.h and bregex.c in src/lib from the
537 Python regexp program.
538 kes Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
540 kes More work on migration.
541 kes Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
542 wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
543 kes Up port VSS single thread locking code.
544 kes Replace N_(..) by NT_(...) to inhibit translation of
546 kes Modify Makefile to change the permissions on Working Directory

783 kes Apply user supplied patch for more readable rate output
785 kes Continue implementing migration.
786 kes Implement support for removable filesystems in SD.
787 kes Ensure that btraceback scripts can be read by anyone.

820 so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
822 kes Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
823 and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
824 These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
825 a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
826 messages will generally print for each JobId because they
827 represent the different problems with either the same drive
828 or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
829 of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
830 or greater is enabled in the SD.
832 kes Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
833 the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
834 the job can be manually started from the console.
835 kes During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
836 StorageId is zero (old Media records).
840 kes Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned

850 differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
851 hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
852 util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
854 kes Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
855 incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
856 routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
857 from under the walk routines.
862 kes Start implementing Verify list output.
863 kes Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
864 premature termination of the reservation if all drives
865 are busy -kes should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
867 kes Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
869 kes Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
870 volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
872 kes Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
873 kes Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
874 it is not an autochanger.
875 kes Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
876 This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
877 rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
878 file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
879 kes Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
880 if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
882 kes Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
883 kes Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
884 kes Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
885 code. This should fix bug #500.

888 kes Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
890 kes If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
892 kes Delete old bnet packet code.
893 kes Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
894 wx-console. -kes not implemented because bconsole must be updated.
895 kes Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
896 only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
898 kes Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
899 reported by Wolfgang Denk
900 kes Pull in latest reservation system changes from 1.38

923 kes Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
925 kes With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.

968 appear at the end of the job rather than mixted with the restore
969 listing where they could be "lost".
971 kes Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
972 Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
973 kes Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
974 errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
975 kes Add sanity check in append.c to ensure that dcr is not NULL.
976 This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
