19 Query. This looks like a MySQL but but by doing extra releases,
20 the memory goes away. This should fix bug #847.
22 kes When backup fails, cancel SD before waiting for sd termination.
23 kes If SD is waiting for FD to connect during cancel, wake up the
25 kes Fix fsf code so that errno is correctly reported.
26 kes Apply migration patch (with changes) from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>

57 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
59 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
61 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
62 to force Win32 error message.
64 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
65 but nothing is done with it yet.
66 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
67 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
68 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
70 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
71 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
74 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
75 File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.

147 Add a regression script to test RunScript
149 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
152 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
153 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
154 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
155 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
157 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
160 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
161 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
163 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
164 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
165 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
166 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
167 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
168 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
170 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
171 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
172 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

182 kes Tweak new Volume code.
184 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
185 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
186 should be enclosed in double quotes.
187 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
188 it should normally be off in a production system.
190 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
191 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
192 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
193 is now owned by the device.
195 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
196 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
197 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
199 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
200 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.

208 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
209 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
211 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
212 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
213 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
214 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
215 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
216 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
218 kes Make database name and user configurable
219 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
220 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
222 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

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

317 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
319 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
321 kes More bat implementation.
322 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
323 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
324 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
325 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
326 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
327 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
328 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
329 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
331 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
334 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
335 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
336 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
337 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
339 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
340 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
342 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
343 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
345 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
346 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
349 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
351 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
353 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
354 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
356 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
357 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
358 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
360 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
361 than English. Fixes bug #788.
363 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
365 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
366 It will be fixed soon.
367 If you want to use this, you can apply
368 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
370 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
371 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
372 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
373 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
374 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
375 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
376 update volume=xxx frompool
377 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
380 RecyclePool = Scratch
384 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
385 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
386 that returns more information and will make it easier
387 to interface to the Director from a program.
389 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
390 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
391 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
392 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
393 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
394 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
395 the Changer Command to an empty string.
397 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
398 in a single write() request rather than in two.
399 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
400 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
402 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
403 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
404 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
405 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
407 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
408 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
410 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
411 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
412 was opened, it is closed.
414 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
415 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
416 in the case of orphaned records.
417 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
418 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
419 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
420 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
421 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
422 happens to the ScratchPool?
423 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
424 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
425 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
426 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
427 times are in Bacula units.
428 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
430 kes Update projects list.
432 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
433 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
434 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
435 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
436 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
438 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
439 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
440 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
442 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
443 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
445 Switch to using Subversion
446 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
448 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
449 plus the entrypoints.
450 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
451 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
452 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
454 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
455 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
457 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
458 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
459 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
461 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
462 problem is with read or append.
464 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
465 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
466 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
467 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
468 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
469 (i.e. migration jobs).
470 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
471 a memory leak problem.
472 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
473 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
474 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
475 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
476 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
477 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
478 (hides some of the ugly casting).
479 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
480 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
481 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
482 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
483 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
484 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
485 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
486 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
487 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
489 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
491 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
492 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
493 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
495 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
496 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
498 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
499 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
501 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
502 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
503 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
504 other DIR specifications.
506 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
507 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
508 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
510 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
512 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
513 backup. This should fix bug #755.
514 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
518 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
519 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
520 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
522 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
524 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
525 This *should* fix bug #747.
526 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
529 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
530 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
531 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
532 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
533 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
534 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
536 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
537 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
