22 kes Attempt to fix MySQL db open memory loss (not successfull).
23 kes Don't set SIGKILL and SIGSTOP neither can be trapped.
24 kes Eliminate memory loss in MySQL (possibly other SQLs) during
25 Query. This looks like a MySQL but but by doing extra releases,
26 the memory goes away. This should fix bug #847.
28 kes When backup fails, cancel SD before waiting for sd termination.
29 kes If SD is waiting for FD to connect during cancel, wake up the
31 kes Fix fsf code so that errno is correctly reported.
32 kes Apply migration patch (with changes) from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>

40 spooling in migration jobs. Not yet tested.
41 kes Merge patch from Jorj Bauer <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> that implements
42 reading conf file from a pipe. However, do it with open_bpipe()

62 Console file. This fixes bug #846.
63 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
65 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
67 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
68 to force Win32 error message.
70 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
71 but nothing is done with it yet.
72 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
73 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
74 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
76 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
77 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
80 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
81 File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.

121 kes Add more debug to FIFO code -- fix fifo regression test.
123 kes Implement posix_fadvise in FD, and for reading spool files in SD.
124 kes Add thread timer to bnet_connect() to break from OS if wait time

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

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

212 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
213 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
214 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
215 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
217 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
218 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
219 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
220 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
221 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
222 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
224 kes Make database name and user configurable
225 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
226 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
228 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
229 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
230 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
233 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
234 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
236 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.

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