73 Add a regression script to test RunScript
75 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
78 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
79 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
80 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
81 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
83 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
86 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
87 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
89 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
90 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
91 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
92 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
93 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
94 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
96 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
97 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
98 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

105 is properly initiated.
107 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
108 kes Tweak new Volume code.
110 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
111 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
112 should be enclosed in double quotes.
113 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
114 it should normally be off in a production system.
116 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
117 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
118 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
119 is now owned by the device.

122 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
123 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
125 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
126 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.

132 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
133 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
134 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
135 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
137 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
138 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
139 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
140 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
141 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
142 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
144 kes Make database name and user configurable
145 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
146 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
148 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

171 No install yet though.
173 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
174 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
175 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
176 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
178 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
179 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
181 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
182 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
183 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
185 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
186 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
187 amount of duplicated code.
188 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
189 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
190 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
192 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
194 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
195 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
196 Fix sql stuff for mysql
198 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
199 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
200 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
201 of other prune/purge subroutines.
202 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
203 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
205 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
206 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
207 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
208 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
209 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
211 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
212 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
214 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
215 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
216 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
217 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
218 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
219 and bacula access to the DB.
220 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
221 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
222 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
223 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
224 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
225 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
226 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
228 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
229 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
230 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
232 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
233 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
236 kes Extend new GUI API.
237 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
238 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
240 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
242 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
243 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
245 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
247 kes More bat implementation.
248 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
249 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
250 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
251 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
252 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
253 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.

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