101 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
102 but nothing is done with it yet.
103 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto

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

219 kes Tweak new Volume code.
221 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
222 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
223 should be enclosed in double quotes.
224 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
225 it should normally be off in a production system.
227 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
228 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
229 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
230 is now owned by the device.

248 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
249 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
250 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
251 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
252 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
253 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
255 kes Make database name and user configurable
256 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
257 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
259 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

282 No install yet though.
284 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
285 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
286 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
287 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
289 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
290 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
292 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
293 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
294 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
296 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
297 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
298 amount of duplicated code.
299 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
300 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
301 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
303 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
305 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
306 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
307 Fix sql stuff for mysql
309 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
310 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
311 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
312 of other prune/purge subroutines.
313 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
314 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
316 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
317 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
318 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
319 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
320 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
322 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
323 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
325 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
326 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
327 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
328 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
329 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
330 and bacula access to the DB.
331 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
332 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
333 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
334 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
335 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
336 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
337 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
339 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
340 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
341 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
343 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
344 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
347 kes Extend new GUI API.
348 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
349 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
351 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from

354 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
356 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
358 kes More bat implementation.
359 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
360 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
361 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
362 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
363 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
364 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.

366 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
368 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
371 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
372 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
373 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
374 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
376 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
377 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
379 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
380 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
382 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.

386 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
388 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
390 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
391 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
393 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
394 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
395 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
397 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
398 than English. Fixes bug #788.
400 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
402 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
403 It will be fixed soon.
404 If you want to use this, you can apply
405 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
407 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
408 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
409 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
410 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
411 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
412 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
413 update volume=xxx frompool
414 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
417 RecyclePool = Scratch
421 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
422 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
423 that returns more information and will make it easier
424 to interface to the Director from a program.
426 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
427 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
428 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
429 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
430 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
431 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
432 the Changer Command to an empty string.
434 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
435 in a single write() request rather than in two.
436 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
437 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
439 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
440 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
441 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
442 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
444 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
445 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.

449 was opened, it is closed.
451 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
452 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
453 in the case of orphaned records.
454 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
455 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
456 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
457 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
458 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
459 happens to the ScratchPool?
460 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
461 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
462 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
463 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
464 times are in Bacula units.
465 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
467 kes Update projects list.
469 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
470 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
471 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
472 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
473 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
475 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
476 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
477 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
479 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
480 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
482 Switch to using Subversion
483 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
485 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
486 plus the entrypoints.
487 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
488 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
489 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
491 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
492 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
494 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
495 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
496 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
498 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
499 problem is with read or append.
501 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
502 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
503 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
504 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
505 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
506 (i.e. migration jobs).
507 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
508 a memory leak problem.
509 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
510 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
511 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
512 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
513 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
514 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
515 (hides some of the ugly casting).
516 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
517 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
518 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
519 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
520 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
521 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
522 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
523 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
524 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
526 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
528 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
529 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
530 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by

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