22 Query. This looks like a MySQL but but by doing extra releases,
23 the memory goes away. This should fix bug #847.
25 kes When backup fails, cancel SD before waiting for sd termination.
26 kes If SD is waiting for FD to connect during cancel, wake up the
28 kes Fix fsf code so that errno is correctly reported.
29 kes Apply migration patch (with changes) from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>

59 Console file. This fixes bug #846.
60 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
62 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
64 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
65 to force Win32 error message.
67 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
68 but nothing is done with it yet.
69 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
70 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
71 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
73 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
74 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
77 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
78 File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.

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

185 kes Tweak new Volume code.
187 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
188 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
189 should be enclosed in double quotes.
190 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
191 it should normally be off in a production system.
193 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
194 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
195 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
196 is now owned by the device.
198 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
199 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
200 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
202 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
203 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
205 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
206 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
209 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
210 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
211 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
212 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
214 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
215 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
216 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
217 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
218 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
219 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
221 kes Make database name and user configurable
222 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
223 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
225 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
226 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
227 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
230 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
231 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
233 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.

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