1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Start implementing bstrerror() in place of strerror().
6 kes First cut at stripping path -- seems to work.
8 kes Prevent door and port files from being restored (mostly
10 kes Free an unreleased buffer in compat code.
11 kes Change console Job name from *Console* to -Console- to eliminate
12 Win32 filename problems. Put Win32 path separator when creating
13 Console file. This fixes bug #846.
14 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
16 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
18 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
19 to force Win32 error message.
21 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
22 but nothing is done with it yet.
23 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
24 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
25 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
27 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
28 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
31 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for

41 kes Display LICENSE at the beginning of the Win32 install.
42 kes Attempt to correct the need for the png files to be installed
44 kes Reapply my bat.conf install script in qt-console. I think I
45 editted bat.pro instead of bat.pro.in and it was lost.
46 kes Apply CentOS patches someone sent me. Checks for /var/run/subsys,
47 the /var/lock/subsys for subsysdir. Also corrects typos in the
50 kes First cut update job.
51 kes Correct configure to include qmake of src/qt-console directory.
53 kes Make restore job yes/mod/no print in one command so GUI works.
54 kes First cut implementing backup and restore client.
55 kes Correct editing in Verify output that caused a seg fault.
57 kes Insure that bat.conf is not overwritten during installation.

66 kes Apply patch from John Goerzen to add hostname as fourth argument
67 to make_catalog_backup script.
68 kes Fix typos I introduced into bsmtp.c
69 kes Make pm_strxxx() routines handle input of NULL pointer. This
70 is to protect from NULL pointers returned from SQL databases.
71 kes Correct typo in bacula-sd manpage as pointed out by John Goerzen.
72 kes Add more debug to FIFO code -- fix fifo regression test.
74 kes Implement posix_fadvise in FD, and for reading spool files in SD.

82 kes Make bat have 'make install' target.
83 kes Warn during install if old gnome-console binary found.
84 kes Warn during install if old wx-console binary found.
85 kes Add -8 option to bsmtp command line to add content type utf-8.
86 Fixes bug #809. (Character coding problem in bsmtp).
87 kes If < is found in target (from, to, cc) then do not enclose the
88 target in < > in bsmtp. Fixes bug #772 (malformed address).
89 kes When printing certain items in dbcheck, stop after 300000.
90 Fixes bug #822. (dbcheck loops).
91 kes Incorrect status in Dir after waiting for mount with poll set.

103 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
104 Add a regression script to test RunScript
106 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
109 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
110 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
111 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
112 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
114 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
117 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
118 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
120 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
121 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
122 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
123 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
124 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
125 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
127 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
128 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
129 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

136 is properly initiated.
138 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
139 kes Tweak new Volume code.
141 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
142 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
143 should be enclosed in double quotes.
144 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
145 it should normally be off in a production system.
147 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
148 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
149 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
150 is now owned by the device.
152 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
153 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
154 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
156 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
157 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
159 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
160 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
163 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
164 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
165 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
166 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
168 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
169 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
170 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
171 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
172 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
173 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
175 kes Make database name and user configurable
176 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
177 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
179 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
180 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
181 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
184 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
185 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
187 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
188 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.

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