89 to force Win32 error message.
91 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
92 but nothing is done with it yet.
93 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
94 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages

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

209 kes Tweak new Volume code.
211 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
212 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
213 should be enclosed in double quotes.
214 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
215 it should normally be off in a production system.
217 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
218 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
219 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
220 is now owned by the device.

235 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
236 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
238 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
239 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
240 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
241 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
242 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
243 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
245 kes Make database name and user configurable
246 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
247 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
249 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

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

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