72 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
74 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
76 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
77 to force Win32 error message.
79 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
80 but nothing is done with it yet.
81 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
82 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
83 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
85 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
86 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
89 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for

162 Add a regression script to test RunScript
164 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
167 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
168 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
169 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
170 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
172 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
175 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
176 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
178 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
179 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
180 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
181 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
182 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
183 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
185 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
186 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
187 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

194 is properly initiated.
196 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
197 kes Tweak new Volume code.
199 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
200 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
201 should be enclosed in double quotes.
202 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
203 it should normally be off in a production system.
205 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
206 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
207 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
208 is now owned by the device.
210 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
211 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
212 tape conflicts described in bug 801.

221 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
222 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
223 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
224 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
226 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
227 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
228 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
229 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
230 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
231 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
233 kes Make database name and user configurable
234 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
235 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
237 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

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

332 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
334 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
336 kes More bat implementation.
337 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
338 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
339 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
340 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
341 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
342 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
343 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
344 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
346 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
349 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
350 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
351 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
352 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
354 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
355 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
357 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
358 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
360 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
361 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
364 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
366 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
368 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
369 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
371 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
372 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
373 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
375 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
376 than English. Fixes bug #788.
378 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
380 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
381 It will be fixed soon.
382 If you want to use this, you can apply
383 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
385 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
386 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
387 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
388 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
389 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
390 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
391 update volume=xxx frompool
392 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
395 RecyclePool = Scratch
399 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
400 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
401 that returns more information and will make it easier
402 to interface to the Director from a program.
404 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
405 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
406 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
407 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
408 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
409 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
410 the Changer Command to an empty string.
412 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
413 in a single write() request rather than in two.
414 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
415 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
417 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
418 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
419 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
420 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
422 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
423 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
425 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
426 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
427 was opened, it is closed.
429 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
430 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
431 in the case of orphaned records.
432 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
433 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
434 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
435 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
436 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
437 happens to the ScratchPool?
438 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
439 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
440 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
441 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
442 times are in Bacula units.
443 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
445 kes Update projects list.
447 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
448 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
449 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
450 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
451 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
453 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
454 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
455 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
457 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
458 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
460 Switch to using Subversion
461 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
463 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
464 plus the entrypoints.
465 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
466 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
467 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
469 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
470 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
472 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
473 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
474 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
476 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
477 problem is with read or append.
479 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
480 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
481 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
482 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
483 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
484 (i.e. migration jobs).
485 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
486 a memory leak problem.
487 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
488 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
489 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
490 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
491 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
492 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
493 (hides some of the ugly casting).
494 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
495 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
496 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
497 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
498 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
499 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
500 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
501 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
502 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
504 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
506 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
507 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
508 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
510 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
511 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
513 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
514 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
516 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
517 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
518 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
519 other DIR specifications.
521 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
522 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
523 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
525 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
527 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
528 backup. This should fix bug #755.
529 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
533 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
534 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
535 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
537 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
539 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
540 This *should* fix bug #747.
541 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
544 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
545 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
546 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
547 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
548 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
549 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
551 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
552 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
