81 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
82 to force Win32 error message.
84 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
85 but nothing is done with it yet.
86 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
87 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
88 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
90 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
91 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
94 ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for

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

202 kes Tweak new Volume code.
204 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
205 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
206 should be enclosed in double quotes.
207 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
208 it should normally be off in a production system.
210 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
211 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
212 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
213 is now owned by the device.

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

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

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

349 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
351 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
354 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
355 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
356 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
357 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
359 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
360 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
362 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
363 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
365 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
366 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
369 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
371 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
373 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
374 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
376 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
377 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
378 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
380 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
381 than English. Fixes bug #788.
383 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
385 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
386 It will be fixed soon.
387 If you want to use this, you can apply
388 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
390 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
391 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
392 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
393 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
394 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
395 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
396 update volume=xxx frompool
397 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
400 RecyclePool = Scratch
404 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
405 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
406 that returns more information and will make it easier
407 to interface to the Director from a program.
409 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
410 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
411 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
412 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
413 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
414 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
415 the Changer Command to an empty string.
417 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
418 in a single write() request rather than in two.
419 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
420 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
422 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
423 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
424 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
425 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
427 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
428 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
430 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
431 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
432 was opened, it is closed.
434 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
435 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
436 in the case of orphaned records.
437 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
438 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
439 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
440 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
441 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
442 happens to the ScratchPool?
443 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
444 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
445 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
446 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
447 times are in Bacula units.
448 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
450 kes Update projects list.
452 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
453 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
454 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
455 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
456 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
458 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
459 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
460 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
462 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
463 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
465 Switch to using Subversion
466 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
468 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
469 plus the entrypoints.
470 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
471 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
472 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
474 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
475 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
477 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
478 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
479 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
481 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
482 problem is with read or append.
484 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
485 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
486 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
487 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
488 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
489 (i.e. migration jobs).
490 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
491 a memory leak problem.
492 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
493 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
494 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
495 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
496 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
497 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
498 (hides some of the ugly casting).
499 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
500 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
501 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
502 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
503 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
504 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
505 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
506 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
507 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
509 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
511 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
512 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
513 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by

516 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
518 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
519 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
521 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
522 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
523 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
524 other DIR specifications.
526 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
527 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
528 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
530 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
532 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
533 backup. This should fix bug #755.
534 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
538 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
539 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
540 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
542 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
544 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
545 This *should* fix bug #747.
546 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
549 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
550 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
551 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
552 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
553 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
554 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
556 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
557 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
