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

69 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
71 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
73 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
74 to force Win32 error message.
76 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
77 but nothing is done with it yet.
78 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
79 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
80 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
82 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
83 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
86 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for

127 kes Add more debug to FIFO code -- fix fifo regression test.
129 kes Implement posix_fadvise in FD, and for reading spool files in SD.
130 kes Add thread timer to bnet_connect() to break from OS if wait time

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

194 kes Tweak new Volume code.
196 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
197 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
198 should be enclosed in double quotes.
199 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
200 it should normally be off in a production system.
202 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
203 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
204 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
205 is now owned by the device.
207 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
208 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
209 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
211 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
212 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.

218 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
219 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
220 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
221 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
223 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
224 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
225 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
226 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
227 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
228 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
230 kes Make database name and user configurable
231 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
232 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
234 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
235 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
236 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
239 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.

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

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