59 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
60 to force Win32 error message.
62 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
63 but nothing is done with it yet.
64 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
65 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
66 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
68 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
69 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
72 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for

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

183 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
184 should be enclosed in double quotes.
185 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
186 it should normally be off in a production system.
188 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
189 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
190 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
191 is now owned by the device.

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

245 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
246 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
247 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
248 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
250 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
251 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
253 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
254 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
255 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
257 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
258 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
259 amount of duplicated code.
260 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
261 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
262 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
264 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
266 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
267 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
268 Fix sql stuff for mysql
270 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
271 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
272 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
273 of other prune/purge subroutines.
274 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
275 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
277 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
278 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
279 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
280 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
281 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
283 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
284 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
286 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
287 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
288 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
289 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
290 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
291 and bacula access to the DB.
292 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
293 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
294 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
295 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
296 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
297 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
298 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
300 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
301 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
302 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
304 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
305 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
308 kes Extend new GUI API.

315 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
317 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
319 kes More bat implementation.
320 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
321 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
322 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
323 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.

327 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
329 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
332 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
333 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
334 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
335 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
337 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
338 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
340 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
341 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
343 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
344 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
347 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
349 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
351 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
352 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
354 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
355 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
356 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
358 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
359 than English. Fixes bug #788.
361 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
363 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
364 It will be fixed soon.
365 If you want to use this, you can apply
366 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
368 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
369 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
370 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
371 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
372 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
373 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
374 update volume=xxx frompool
375 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
378 RecyclePool = Scratch
382 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
383 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
384 that returns more information and will make it easier
385 to interface to the Director from a program.
387 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
388 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
389 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
390 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
391 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
392 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
393 the Changer Command to an empty string.
395 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
396 in a single write() request rather than in two.
397 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
398 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
400 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
401 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
402 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
403 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
405 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
406 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
408 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.

410 was opened, it is closed.
412 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
413 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
414 in the case of orphaned records.
415 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
416 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
417 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
418 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
419 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
420 happens to the ScratchPool?
421 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
422 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
423 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
424 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
425 times are in Bacula units.
426 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
428 kes Update projects list.
430 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
431 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
432 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
433 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
434 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
436 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
437 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
438 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
440 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
441 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
443 Switch to using Subversion
444 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
446 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
447 plus the entrypoints.
448 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
449 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
450 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
452 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
453 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
455 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
456 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
457 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
459 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
460 problem is with read or append.
462 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
463 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
464 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
465 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
466 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
467 (i.e. migration jobs).
468 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
469 a memory leak problem.
470 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
471 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
472 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
473 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
474 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
475 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
476 (hides some of the ugly casting).
477 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
478 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
479 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
480 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
481 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
482 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
483 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
484 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
485 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
487 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
489 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
490 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
491 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by

496 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
497 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
499 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
500 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
501 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
502 other DIR specifications.
504 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
505 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
506 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
508 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
510 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
511 backup. This should fix bug #755.
512 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
516 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
517 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
518 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
520 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
522 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
523 This *should* fix bug #747.
524 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
527 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
528 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
529 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
530 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
531 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
532 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
534 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
535 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
