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

222 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
223 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
224 should be enclosed in double quotes.
225 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
226 it should normally be off in a production system.
228 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
229 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
230 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
231 is now owned by the device.

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

285 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
286 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
287 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
288 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
290 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
291 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
293 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
294 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
295 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
297 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
298 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
299 amount of duplicated code.
300 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
301 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
302 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
304 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
306 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
307 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
308 Fix sql stuff for mysql
310 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
311 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
312 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
313 of other prune/purge subroutines.
314 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
315 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
317 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
318 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
319 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
320 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
321 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
323 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
324 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
326 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
327 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
328 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
329 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
330 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
331 and bacula access to the DB.
332 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
333 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
334 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
335 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
336 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
337 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
338 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
340 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
341 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
342 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
344 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
345 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
348 kes Extend new GUI API.
349 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
350 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
352 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from

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

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

387 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
389 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
391 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
392 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
394 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
395 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
396 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
398 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
399 than English. Fixes bug #788.
401 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
403 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
404 It will be fixed soon.
405 If you want to use this, you can apply
406 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
408 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
409 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
410 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
411 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
412 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
413 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
414 update volume=xxx frompool
415 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
418 RecyclePool = Scratch
422 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
423 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
424 that returns more information and will make it easier
425 to interface to the Director from a program.
427 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
428 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
429 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
430 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
431 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
432 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
433 the Changer Command to an empty string.
435 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
436 in a single write() request rather than in two.
437 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
438 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
440 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
441 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
442 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
443 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
445 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
446 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.

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

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