68 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
69 Add a regression script to test RunScript
71 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
74 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
75 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
76 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
77 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
79 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
82 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
83 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
85 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
86 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
87 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
88 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
89 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
90 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
92 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
93 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
94 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

100 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
101 is properly initiated.
103 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
104 kes Tweak new Volume code.
106 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
107 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
108 should be enclosed in double quotes.
109 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
110 it should normally be off in a production system.
112 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
113 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
114 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
115 is now owned by the device.
117 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
118 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
119 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
121 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
122 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
124 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
125 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
128 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
129 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
130 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
131 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
133 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
134 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
135 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
136 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
137 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
138 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
140 kes Make database name and user configurable
141 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
142 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
144 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
145 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
146 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
149 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
150 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
152 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
153 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.

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