83 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
84 to force Win32 error message.
86 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
87 but nothing is done with it yet.
88 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
89 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
90 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
92 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
93 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
96 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
97 File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.

171 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
174 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
175 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
176 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
177 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
179 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
182 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
183 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
185 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
186 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
187 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
188 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
189 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
190 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
192 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
193 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.

201 is properly initiated.
203 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
204 kes Tweak new Volume code.
206 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
207 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
208 should be enclosed in double quotes.
209 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
210 it should normally be off in a production system.
212 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
213 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
214 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
215 is now owned by the device.

228 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
229 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
230 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
231 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
233 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
234 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
235 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
236 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
237 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
238 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
240 kes Make database name and user configurable
241 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
242 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
244 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
245 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++

267 No install yet though.
269 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
270 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
271 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
272 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
274 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
275 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
277 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
278 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
279 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
281 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
282 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
283 amount of duplicated code.
284 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
285 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
286 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
288 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
290 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
291 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
292 Fix sql stuff for mysql
294 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
295 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
296 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
297 of other prune/purge subroutines.
298 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
299 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
301 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
302 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
303 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
304 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
305 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
307 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
308 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
310 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
311 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
312 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
313 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
314 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
315 and bacula access to the DB.
316 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
317 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
318 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
319 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
320 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
321 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
322 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
324 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
325 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
326 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
328 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
329 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
332 kes Extend new GUI API.
333 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
334 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
336 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
338 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
339 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
341 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
343 kes More bat implementation.
344 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
345 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
346 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
347 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
348 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
349 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
350 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
351 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
353 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
356 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
357 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
358 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
359 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
361 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
362 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
364 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
365 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
367 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
368 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
371 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
373 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
375 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
376 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
378 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
379 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
380 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
382 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
383 than English. Fixes bug #788.
385 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
387 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
388 It will be fixed soon.
389 If you want to use this, you can apply
390 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
392 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
393 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
394 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
395 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
396 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
397 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
398 update volume=xxx frompool
399 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
402 RecyclePool = Scratch
406 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
407 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
408 that returns more information and will make it easier
409 to interface to the Director from a program.
411 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
412 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
413 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
414 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
415 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
416 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
417 the Changer Command to an empty string.
419 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
420 in a single write() request rather than in two.
421 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
422 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
424 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
425 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
426 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
427 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
429 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
430 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
432 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
433 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
434 was opened, it is closed.
436 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
437 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
438 in the case of orphaned records.
439 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
440 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
441 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
442 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
443 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
444 happens to the ScratchPool?
445 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
446 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
447 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
448 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
449 times are in Bacula units.
450 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
452 kes Update projects list.
454 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
455 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
456 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
457 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
458 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
460 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
461 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
462 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
464 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
465 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
467 Switch to using Subversion
468 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
470 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
471 plus the entrypoints.
472 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
473 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
474 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
476 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
477 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
479 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
480 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
481 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
483 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
484 problem is with read or append.
486 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
487 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
488 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
489 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
490 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
491 (i.e. migration jobs).
492 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
493 a memory leak problem.
494 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
495 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
496 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
497 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
498 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
499 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
500 (hides some of the ugly casting).
501 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
502 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
503 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
504 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
505 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
506 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
507 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
508 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
509 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
511 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
513 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
514 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
515 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by

518 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
520 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
521 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
523 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
524 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
525 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
526 other DIR specifications.
528 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
529 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
530 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
532 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
534 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
535 backup. This should fix bug #755.
536 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
540 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
541 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
542 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
544 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
546 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
547 This *should* fix bug #747.
548 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
551 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
552 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
553 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
554 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
555 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
556 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
558 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
559 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
