45 have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
46 in bug #942, but not the main problem.

341 spurious line drops when using TLS.
342 kes Do not file reparse points when restoring a file that already
345 kes Implement Windows reparse points -- similar to directories, but
346 we do not descend into it. This is a first cut. They seem to
347 be backed up, but restore is not yet tested.
348 kes Remove restore_blocking in tls code when shutting a socket to leave
349 it in blocking mode. Hopefully this will fix the encryption bug
350 reported by Frank Sweetser.
351 kes When opening a file for backup, tell the OS that we are going to
352 read it sequentially -- optimization.

386 kes Tweak debug code in autochanger reservation.
388 kes Add some additional locking in the cats directory in subroutines
389 that modify packet variables called from batch insert.
390 kes Rework how dcrs are allocated. new_dcr() can now be called
391 with an existing pointer, and it will simply clean it up.
392 This allows the reservation system to test various different
393 devices, and will permit easy device changes.
394 kes A bunch of changes all over to handle new new_dcr() calling
396 kes Work more on the Volume management in the SD. Remember Volumes
397 for tape drives and for autochangers (even virtual disk changers).

419 place of the old bnet_xxx code.
420 kes Implement code that does an on the fly calculation of the
421 signing digest during restore of encrypted files. It makes
422 a best guess at the algorithm, and if it is not correct, will
423 then revert to the old code which reads the file after it is
425 kes Implement at least one missing crypto stream in stream_to_ascii()
426 kes Apply patch from William <chowmeined@gmail.com> that fixes bug

429 Cut: 2.1.14 beta (not released)
431 kes Do not free a volume on a tape drive until another volume is
432 mounted and read, or the autochanger unloads the volume.
433 This should help the SD re-use volumes that are already mounted,
434 and should fix bug #886.
435 kes Apply patch from user brettedgar that allows gnome2-console include
436 the OpenSSL libraries, and hence work with SSL. Fixes bug #885.

762 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
765 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
766 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
768 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
769 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
770 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
771 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place

816 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
817 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
818 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
819 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
820 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
821 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.

858 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
860 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
861 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
862 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
864 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
865 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
866 amount of duplicated code.
867 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
868 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
869 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version

882 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
884 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
885 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
886 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
887 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point

895 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
896 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
897 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
898 and bacula access to the DB.
899 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
900 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
901 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.

941 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
942 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
944 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused

958 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
959 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
961 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
962 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
963 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
965 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
966 than English. Fixes bug #788.
968 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
970 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
971 It will be fixed soon.
972 If you want to use this, you can apply
973 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
975 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
976 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
977 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
978 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
979 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
980 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
981 update volume=xxx frompool
982 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
985 RecyclePool = Scratch
989 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
990 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
991 that returns more information and will make it easier
992 to interface to the Director from a program.
994 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
995 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
996 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
997 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
998 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
999 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
1000 the Changer Command to an empty string.
1002 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
1003 in a single write() request rather than in two.
1004 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
1005 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
1007 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
1008 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.

1019 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
1020 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
1021 in the case of orphaned records.
1022 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
1023 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
1024 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
1025 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
1026 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
1027 happens to the ScratchPool?
1028 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
1029 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
1030 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
1031 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
1032 times are in Bacula units.
1033 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
1035 kes Update projects list.
1037 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
1038 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
1039 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
1040 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
1041 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
1043 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
1044 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
1045 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
1047 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
1048 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
1050 Switch to using Subversion
1051 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
1053 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
1054 plus the entrypoints.
1055 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
1056 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
1057 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
1059 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
1060 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
1062 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
1063 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
1064 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
1066 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
1067 problem is with read or append.
1069 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
1070 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
1071 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
1072 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
1073 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
1074 (i.e. migration jobs).
1075 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
1076 a memory leak problem.
1077 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
1078 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
1079 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
1080 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
1081 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
1082 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
1083 (hides some of the ugly casting).
1084 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
1085 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
1086 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
1087 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
1088 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
1089 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
1090 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
1091 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
1092 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
1094 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
1096 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
1097 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.

1134 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
1135 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
1136 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
1137 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
1138 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
1139 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
