8 kes Apply patch from John Goerzen to add hostname as fourth argument
9 to make_catalog_backup script.
10 kes Fix typos I introduced into bsmtp.c

12 is to protect from NULL pointers returned from SQL databases.
13 kes Correct typo in bacula-sd manpage as pointed out by John Goerzen.
14 kes Add more debug to FIFO code -- fix fifo regression test.
16 kes Implement posix_fadvise in FD, and for reading spool files in SD.

24 kes Make bat have 'make install' target.
25 kes Warn during install if old gnome-console binary found.
26 kes Warn during install if old wx-console binary found.
27 kes Add -8 option to bsmtp command line to add content type utf-8.
28 Fixes bug #809. (Character coding problem in bsmtp).
29 kes If < is found in target (from, to, cc) then do not enclose the

31 kes When printing certain items in dbcheck, stop after 300000.
32 Fixes bug #822. (dbcheck loops).
33 kes Incorrect status in Dir after waiting for mount with poll set.
36 kes Extend idea of Prefer Mounted Volumes to mean a volume about
38 kes Print waiting to reserve a device every 5 mins.
40 kes Don't call close_part in label.c if tape and relabel.
41 kes Don't free volume if busy in close() -- should help with
43 ebl Fix #824 RunScript bug (After script could be execute twice)
44 Now, Before Script can use RunsOnSuccess and RunsOnFailure options
45 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
46 Add a regression script to test RunScript
48 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
51 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
52 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
53 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
54 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
56 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
59 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
60 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
62 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
63 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
64 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
65 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
66 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
67 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
69 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
70 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
71 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
72 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
73 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
74 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
75 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
76 kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
77 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
78 is properly initiated.
80 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
81 kes Tweak new Volume code.
83 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
84 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
85 should be enclosed in double quotes.
86 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
87 it should normally be off in a production system.
89 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
90 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
91 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
92 is now owned by the device.
94 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
95 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
96 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
98 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
99 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
101 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
102 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
105 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
106 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
107 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
108 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
110 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
111 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
112 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
113 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
114 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
115 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
117 kes Make database name and user configurable
118 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
119 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
121 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
122 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
123 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
126 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
127 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
129 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
130 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
132 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
133 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
134 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
135 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
137 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
140 kes More pruning cleanup.
141 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
142 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
143 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
144 No install yet though.
146 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
147 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
148 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
149 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
151 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
152 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
154 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
155 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
156 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
158 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
159 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
160 amount of duplicated code.
161 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
162 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
163 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
165 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
167 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
168 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
169 Fix sql stuff for mysql
171 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
172 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
173 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
174 of other prune/purge subroutines.
175 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
176 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
178 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
179 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
180 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
181 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
182 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
184 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
185 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
187 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
188 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
189 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
190 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
191 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
192 and bacula access to the DB.
193 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
194 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
195 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
196 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
197 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
198 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
199 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
201 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
202 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
203 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
205 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
206 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
209 kes Extend new GUI API.
210 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
211 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
213 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
215 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
216 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
218 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
220 kes More bat implementation.
221 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
222 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
223 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
224 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
225 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
226 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
227 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
228 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
230 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
233 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
234 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
235 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
236 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
238 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
239 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
241 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
242 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
244 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
245 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
248 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
250 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
252 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
253 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
255 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
256 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
257 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
259 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
260 than English. Fixes bug #788.
262 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
264 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
265 It will be fixed soon.
266 If you want to use this, you can apply
267 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
269 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
270 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
271 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
272 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
273 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
274 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
275 update volume=xxx frompool
276 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
279 RecyclePool = Scratch
283 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
284 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
285 that returns more information and will make it easier
286 to interface to the Director from a program.
288 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
289 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
290 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
291 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
292 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
293 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
294 the Changer Command to an empty string.
296 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
297 in a single write() request rather than in two.
298 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
299 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
301 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
302 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
303 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
304 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
306 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
307 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
309 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
310 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
311 was opened, it is closed.
313 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
314 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
315 in the case of orphaned records.
316 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
317 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
318 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
319 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
320 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
321 happens to the ScratchPool?
322 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
323 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
324 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
325 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
326 times are in Bacula units.
327 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
329 kes Update projects list.
331 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
332 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
333 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
334 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
335 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
337 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
338 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
339 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
341 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
342 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
344 Switch to using Subversion
345 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
347 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
348 plus the entrypoints.
349 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
350 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
351 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
353 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
354 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
356 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
357 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
358 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
360 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
361 problem is with read or append.
363 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
364 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
365 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
366 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
367 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
368 (i.e. migration jobs).
369 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
370 a memory leak problem.
371 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
372 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
373 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
374 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
375 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
376 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
377 (hides some of the ugly casting).
378 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
379 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
380 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
381 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
382 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
383 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
384 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
385 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
386 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
388 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
390 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
391 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
392 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
394 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
395 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
397 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
398 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
400 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
401 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
402 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
403 other DIR specifications.
405 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
406 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
407 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
409 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
411 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
412 backup. This should fix bug #755.
413 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
417 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
418 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
419 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
421 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
423 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
424 This *should* fix bug #747.
425 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
428 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
429 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
430 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
431 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
432 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
433 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
435 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
436 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
