8 kes Attempt to fix MySQL db open memory loss (not successfull).
9 kes Don't set SIGKILL and SIGSTOP neither can be trapped.
10 kes Eliminate memory loss in MySQL (possibly other SQLs) during
11 Query. This looks like a MySQL but but by doing extra releases,
12 the memory goes away. This should fix bug #847.
14 kes When backup fails, cancel SD before waiting for sd termination.
15 kes If SD is waiting for FD to connect during cancel, wake up the
17 kes Fix fsf code so that errno is correctly reported.
18 kes Apply migration patch (with changes) from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>

26 spooling in migration jobs. Not yet tested.
27 kes Merge patch from Jorj Bauer <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> that implements
28 reading conf file from a pipe. However, do it with open_bpipe()
29 rather than popen. Not yet tested.

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

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

173 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
174 kes Tweak new Volume code.
176 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
177 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
178 should be enclosed in double quotes.
179 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
180 it should normally be off in a production system.
182 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
183 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
184 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
185 is now owned by the device.
187 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
188 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
189 tape conflicts described in bug 801.

198 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
199 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
200 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
201 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
203 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
204 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
205 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
206 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
207 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
208 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
210 kes Make database name and user configurable
211 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
212 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
214 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
215 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++

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

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