234 kes Implement Windows reparse points -- similar to directories, but
235 we do not descend into it. This is a first cut. They seem to
236 be backed up, but restore is not yet tested.
237 kes Remove restore_blocking in tls code when shutting a socket to leave
238 it in blocking mode. Hopefully this will fix the encryption bug
239 reported by Frank Sweetser.

643 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
646 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
647 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
648 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
649 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
651 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
654 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
655 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
657 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
658 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
659 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
660 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
661 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
662 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the

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

747 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
749 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
750 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
751 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
753 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
754 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
755 amount of duplicated code.
756 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
757 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
758 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
760 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
762 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.

769 of other prune/purge subroutines.
770 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
771 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the

830 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
831 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
833 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
834 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.

847 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
848 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
850 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
851 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
852 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
854 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
855 than English. Fixes bug #788.
857 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
859 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
860 It will be fixed soon.
861 If you want to use this, you can apply
862 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
864 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
865 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
866 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
867 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
868 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
869 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
870 update volume=xxx frompool
871 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
874 RecyclePool = Scratch
878 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
879 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
880 that returns more information and will make it easier
881 to interface to the Director from a program.
883 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
884 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
885 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
886 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
887 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
888 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
889 the Changer Command to an empty string.
891 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
892 in a single write() request rather than in two.
893 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
894 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
896 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
897 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
898 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
899 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782 -- scheduler problem.
901 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.

906 was opened, it is closed.
908 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
909 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
910 in the case of orphaned records.
911 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
912 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
913 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
914 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
915 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
916 happens to the ScratchPool?
917 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
918 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
919 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
920 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
921 times are in Bacula units.
922 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
924 kes Update projects list.
926 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
927 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
928 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
929 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
930 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
932 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
933 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
934 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
936 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
937 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
939 Switch to using Subversion
940 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
942 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
943 plus the entrypoints.
944 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
945 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
946 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
948 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
949 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
951 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
952 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
953 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
955 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
956 problem is with read or append.
958 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
959 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
960 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
961 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
962 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
963 (i.e. migration jobs).
964 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
965 a memory leak problem.
966 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
967 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
968 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
969 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
970 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
971 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
972 (hides some of the ugly casting).
973 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
974 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
975 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
976 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
977 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
978 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
979 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
980 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
981 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
983 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
985 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
986 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
987 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by

992 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
993 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
995 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
996 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
997 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
998 other DIR specifications.
1000 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.

1002 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
1004 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
1006 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
1007 backup. This should fix bug #755.
1008 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
1012 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
1013 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.

1016 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
1018 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
1019 This *should* fix bug #747.
1020 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
1023 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
1024 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
1025 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
1026 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
1027 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
1028 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
1030 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
1031 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
