94 to force Win32 error message.
96 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
97 but nothing is done with it yet.
98 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
99 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages

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

217 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
218 should be enclosed in double quotes.
219 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
220 it should normally be off in a production system.
222 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
223 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
224 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
225 is now owned by the device.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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