75 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
76 Add a regression script to test RunScript
78 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
81 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
82 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
83 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
84 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
86 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
89 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
90 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
92 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
93 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
94 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
95 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
96 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
97 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
99 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
100 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
101 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

108 is properly initiated.
110 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
111 kes Tweak new Volume code.
113 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
114 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
115 should be enclosed in double quotes.
116 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
117 it should normally be off in a production system.
119 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
120 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
121 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
122 is now owned by the device.
124 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
125 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
126 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
128 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
129 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
131 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
132 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
135 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
136 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
137 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
138 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
140 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
141 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
142 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
143 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
144 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
145 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
147 kes Make database name and user configurable
148 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
149 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
151 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

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