1 Technical notes on version 1.8 18Dec01
6 - Did a nearly complete implementation of Job names.
7 - Due to the above, the protocol between the daemons has
8 changed so all daemons must be updated.
9 - Quite a lot of cleanup of the Console program remains
10 to be done to switch over to Job names rather than JobIds.
11 - Major change to Console sqlquery command -- see below.
13 Changes submitted this submission:
14 - Modified some of the makefiles to do a better job
15 of cleaning up during a make distclean.
16 - Added MediaType, VolStatus, and PoolId to values returned
17 by db_get_media_record(). This allows checking for anonymous
19 - In all places possible, I now use the Job rather than JobId,
20 there are still some vestiges that will need to be cleaned up,
21 and JobId is still the database key for the Job record.
22 - Eliminated M_WARN, now replaced by M_WARNING everywhere.
23 - Modified the sqlquery command so that it puts you in query
24 "mode" keeping you in the command until you terminate it
25 with a blank line. Enhanced the prompts to be clearer.
26 - Fixed a bug with reminding the user to do a mount after
27 a label -- the erronous and confusing message should now
29 - Removed very ancient JobId/password code from the File
30 daemon. This was implemented differently from the original
32 - Made a significant cleanup of handling reading tape labels
33 and allowing anonymous volumes (that is any volume that
34 is valid for the pool rather than the current volume).
35 - Added additional error information to bnet.c when an error
37 - Changed the names of a couple of files to make their contents
38 more obvious from the name.
39 - Combined the code for waiting for additional media to be
40 added to the database and for waiting for a mount.
