40 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
42 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
44 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
45 to force Win32 error message.
47 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
48 but nothing is done with it yet.
49 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
50 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages

112 Fixes bug #809. (Character coding problem in bsmtp).
113 kes If < is found in target (from, to, cc) then do not enclose the
114 target in < > in bsmtp. Fixes bug #772 (malformed address).
115 kes When printing certain items in dbcheck, stop after 300000.
116 Fixes bug #822. (dbcheck loops).

132 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
135 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
136 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
137 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
138 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
140 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
143 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
144 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
146 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
147 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
148 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
149 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
150 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
151 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
153 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
154 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.

165 kes Tweak new Volume code.
167 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
168 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
169 should be enclosed in double quotes.
170 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
171 it should normally be off in a production system.
173 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
174 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
175 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
176 is now owned by the device.

191 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
192 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
194 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
195 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
196 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
197 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
198 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
199 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
201 kes Make database name and user configurable
202 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
203 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
205 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

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