31 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
33 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
35 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
36 to force Win32 error message.
38 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
39 but nothing is done with it yet.
40 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto

121 Add a regression script to test RunScript
123 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
126 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
127 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
128 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
129 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
131 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
134 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
135 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
137 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
138 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
139 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
140 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
141 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
142 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
144 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
145 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
146 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

156 kes Tweak new Volume code.
158 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
159 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
160 should be enclosed in double quotes.
161 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
162 it should normally be off in a production system.
164 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
165 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
166 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
167 is now owned by the device.

180 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
181 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
182 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
183 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
185 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
186 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
187 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
188 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
189 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
190 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
192 kes Make database name and user configurable
193 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
194 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
196 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

218 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
219 No install yet though.
221 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
222 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
223 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
224 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
226 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
227 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
229 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
230 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
231 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
233 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
234 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
235 amount of duplicated code.
236 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
237 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
238 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
240 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
242 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
243 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
244 Fix sql stuff for mysql
246 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
247 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
248 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
249 of other prune/purge subroutines.
250 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
251 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
253 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
254 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
255 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
256 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
257 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
259 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
260 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
262 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
263 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
264 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
265 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
266 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
267 and bacula access to the DB.
268 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
269 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
270 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
271 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
272 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
273 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
274 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
276 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
277 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
278 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
280 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
281 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
284 kes Extend new GUI API.
285 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
286 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
288 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
290 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
291 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
293 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
295 kes More bat implementation.
296 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
297 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
298 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
299 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
300 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
301 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
302 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
303 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
305 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
308 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
309 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
310 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
311 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
313 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
314 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
316 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
317 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
319 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
320 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
323 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
325 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
327 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
328 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
330 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
331 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
332 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
334 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
335 than English. Fixes bug #788.
337 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
339 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
340 It will be fixed soon.
341 If you want to use this, you can apply
342 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
344 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
345 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
346 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
347 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
348 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
349 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
350 update volume=xxx frompool
351 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
354 RecyclePool = Scratch
358 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
359 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
360 that returns more information and will make it easier
361 to interface to the Director from a program.
363 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
364 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
365 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
366 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
367 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
368 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
369 the Changer Command to an empty string.
371 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
372 in a single write() request rather than in two.
373 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
374 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
376 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
377 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
378 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
379 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
381 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
382 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
384 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
385 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
386 was opened, it is closed.
388 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
389 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
390 in the case of orphaned records.
391 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
392 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
393 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
394 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
395 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
396 happens to the ScratchPool?
397 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
398 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
399 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
400 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
401 times are in Bacula units.
402 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
404 kes Update projects list.
406 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
407 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
408 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
409 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
410 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
412 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
413 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
414 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
416 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
417 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
419 Switch to using Subversion
420 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
422 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
423 plus the entrypoints.
424 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
425 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
426 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
428 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
429 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
431 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
432 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
433 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
435 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
436 problem is with read or append.
438 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
439 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
440 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
441 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
442 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
443 (i.e. migration jobs).
444 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
445 a memory leak problem.
446 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
447 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
448 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
449 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
450 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
451 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
452 (hides some of the ugly casting).
453 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
454 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
455 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
456 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
457 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
458 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
459 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
460 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
461 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
463 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
465 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
466 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
467 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
469 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
470 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
472 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
473 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
475 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
476 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
477 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
478 other DIR specifications.
480 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
481 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
482 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
484 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
486 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
487 backup. This should fix bug #755.
488 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
492 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
493 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
494 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
496 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
498 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
499 This *should* fix bug #747.
500 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
503 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
504 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
505 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
506 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
507 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
508 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
510 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
511 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
