14 kes Apply patch from John Goerzen to add hostname as fourth argument
15 to make_catalog_backup script.
16 kes Fix typos I introduced into bsmtp.c

37 kes When printing certain items in dbcheck, stop after 300000.
38 Fixes bug #822. (dbcheck loops).
39 kes Incorrect status in Dir after waiting for mount with poll set.
42 kes Extend idea of Prefer Mounted Volumes to mean a volume about
44 kes Print waiting to reserve a device every 5 mins.
46 kes Don't call close_part in label.c if tape and relabel.
47 kes Don't free volume if busy in close() -- should help with
49 ebl Fix #824 RunScript bug (After script could be execute twice)
50 Now, Before Script can use RunsOnSuccess and RunsOnFailure options
51 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
52 Add a regression script to test RunScript
54 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
57 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
58 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
59 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
60 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
62 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
65 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
66 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
68 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
69 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
70 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
71 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
72 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
73 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
75 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
76 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
77 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
78 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
79 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
80 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
81 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
82 kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
83 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
84 is properly initiated.
86 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
87 kes Tweak new Volume code.
89 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
90 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
91 should be enclosed in double quotes.
92 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
93 it should normally be off in a production system.
95 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
96 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
97 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
98 is now owned by the device.
100 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
101 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
102 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
104 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
105 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
107 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
108 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
111 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
112 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
113 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
114 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
116 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
117 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
118 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
119 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
120 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
121 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
123 kes Make database name and user configurable
124 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
125 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
127 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
128 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
129 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
132 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
133 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
135 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
136 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
138 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
139 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
140 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
141 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
143 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
146 kes More pruning cleanup.
147 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
148 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
149 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
150 No install yet though.
152 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
153 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
154 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
155 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
157 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
158 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
160 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
161 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
162 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
164 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
165 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
166 amount of duplicated code.
167 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
168 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
169 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
171 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
173 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
174 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
175 Fix sql stuff for mysql
177 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
178 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
179 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
180 of other prune/purge subroutines.
181 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
182 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
184 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
185 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
186 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
187 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
188 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
190 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
191 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
193 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
194 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
195 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
196 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
197 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
198 and bacula access to the DB.
199 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
200 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
201 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
202 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
203 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
204 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
205 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
207 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
208 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
209 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
211 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
212 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
215 kes Extend new GUI API.
216 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
217 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
219 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
221 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
222 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
224 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
226 kes More bat implementation.
227 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
228 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
229 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
230 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
231 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
232 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
233 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
234 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
236 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
239 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
240 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
241 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
242 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
244 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
245 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
247 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
248 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
250 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
251 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
254 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
256 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
258 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
259 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
261 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
262 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
263 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
265 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
266 than English. Fixes bug #788.
268 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
270 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
271 It will be fixed soon.
272 If you want to use this, you can apply
273 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
275 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
276 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
277 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
278 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
279 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
280 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
281 update volume=xxx frompool
282 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
285 RecyclePool = Scratch
289 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
290 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
291 that returns more information and will make it easier
292 to interface to the Director from a program.
294 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
295 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
296 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
297 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
298 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
299 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
300 the Changer Command to an empty string.
302 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
303 in a single write() request rather than in two.
304 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
305 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
307 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
308 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
309 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
310 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
312 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
313 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
315 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
316 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
317 was opened, it is closed.
319 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
320 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
321 in the case of orphaned records.
322 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
323 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
324 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
325 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
326 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
327 happens to the ScratchPool?
328 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
329 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
330 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
331 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
332 times are in Bacula units.
333 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
335 kes Update projects list.
337 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
338 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
339 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
340 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
341 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
343 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
344 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
345 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
347 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
348 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
350 Switch to using Subversion
351 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
353 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
354 plus the entrypoints.
355 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
356 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
357 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
359 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
360 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
362 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
363 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
364 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
366 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
367 problem is with read or append.
369 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
370 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
371 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
372 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
373 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
374 (i.e. migration jobs).
375 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
376 a memory leak problem.
377 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
378 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
379 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
380 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
381 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
382 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
383 (hides some of the ugly casting).
384 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
385 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
386 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
387 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
388 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
389 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
390 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
391 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
392 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
394 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
396 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
397 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
398 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
400 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
401 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
403 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
404 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
406 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
407 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
408 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
409 other DIR specifications.
411 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
412 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
413 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
415 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
417 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
418 backup. This should fix bug #755.
419 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
423 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
424 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
425 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
427 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
429 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
430 This *should* fix bug #747.
431 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
434 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
435 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
436 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
437 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
438 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
439 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
441 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
442 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
