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

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

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

222 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
223 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
225 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
226 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
227 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
228 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
229 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
230 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
232 kes Make database name and user configurable
233 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
234 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
236 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

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

331 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
333 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
335 kes More bat implementation.
336 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
337 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
338 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
339 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
340 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
341 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.

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