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

24 spooling in migration jobs. Not yet tested.
25 kes Merge patch from Jorj Bauer <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> that implements
26 reading conf file from a pipe. However, do it with open_bpipe()
27 rather than popen. Not yet tested.

47 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
49 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
51 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
52 to force Win32 error message.
54 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
55 but nothing is done with it yet.
56 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
57 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
58 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
60 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
61 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
64 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
65 File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.

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

171 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
172 kes Tweak new Volume code.
174 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
175 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
176 should be enclosed in double quotes.
177 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
178 it should normally be off in a production system.
180 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
181 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
182 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
183 is now owned by the device.
185 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
186 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
187 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
189 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
190 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
192 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)

196 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
197 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
198 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
199 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
201 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
202 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
203 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
204 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
205 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
206 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
208 kes Make database name and user configurable
209 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
210 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
212 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

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