105 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
106 but nothing is done with it yet.
107 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto

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

226 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
227 should be enclosed in double quotes.
228 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
229 it should normally be off in a production system.
231 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
232 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
233 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
234 is now owned by the device.

252 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
253 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
254 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
255 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
256 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
257 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
259 kes Make database name and user configurable
260 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
261 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
263 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

286 No install yet though.
288 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
289 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
290 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
291 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
293 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
294 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
296 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
297 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
298 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
300 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
301 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
302 amount of duplicated code.
303 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
304 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
305 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
307 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
309 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
310 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
311 Fix sql stuff for mysql
313 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
314 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
315 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
316 of other prune/purge subroutines.
317 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
318 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
320 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
321 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
322 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
323 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
324 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
326 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
327 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
329 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
330 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
331 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
332 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
333 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
334 and bacula access to the DB.
335 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
336 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
337 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
338 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
339 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
340 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
341 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
343 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
344 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
345 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
347 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
348 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
351 kes Extend new GUI API.
352 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
353 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
355 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from

358 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
360 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
362 kes More bat implementation.
363 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
364 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
365 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
366 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
367 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
368 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.

370 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
372 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
375 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
376 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
377 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
378 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
380 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
381 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
383 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
384 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
386 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.

390 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
392 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
394 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
395 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
397 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
398 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
399 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
401 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
402 than English. Fixes bug #788.
404 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
406 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
407 It will be fixed soon.
408 If you want to use this, you can apply
409 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
411 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
412 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
413 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
414 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
415 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
416 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
417 update volume=xxx frompool
418 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
421 RecyclePool = Scratch
425 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
426 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
427 that returns more information and will make it easier
428 to interface to the Director from a program.
430 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
431 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
432 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
433 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
434 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
435 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
436 the Changer Command to an empty string.
438 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
439 in a single write() request rather than in two.
440 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
441 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
443 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
444 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
445 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
446 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
448 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
449 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
451 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
452 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
453 was opened, it is closed.
455 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
456 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
457 in the case of orphaned records.
458 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
459 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
460 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
461 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
462 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
463 happens to the ScratchPool?
464 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
465 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
466 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
467 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
468 times are in Bacula units.
469 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
471 kes Update projects list.
473 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
474 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
475 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
476 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
477 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
479 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
480 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
481 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
483 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
484 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
486 Switch to using Subversion
487 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
489 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
490 plus the entrypoints.
491 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
492 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
493 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
495 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
496 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
498 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
499 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
500 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
502 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
503 problem is with read or append.
505 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
506 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
507 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
508 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
509 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
510 (i.e. migration jobs).
511 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
512 a memory leak problem.
513 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
514 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
515 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
516 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
517 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
518 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
519 (hides some of the ugly casting).
520 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
521 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
522 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
523 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
524 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
525 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
526 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
527 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
528 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
530 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
532 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
533 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
534 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
536 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
537 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
539 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
540 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
542 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
543 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
544 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
545 other DIR specifications.
547 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
548 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
549 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
551 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
553 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
554 backup. This should fix bug #755.
555 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
559 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
560 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
561 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
563 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
565 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
566 This *should* fix bug #747.
567 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
570 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
571 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
572 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
573 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
574 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
575 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
577 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
578 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
