-kes Make update_free_space a method of DEVICE and rename
- update_freespace.
-01Oct06
-kes Require a messages command acl to be able to receive messages
- in a console.
-kes Add console, system, and scan job types in util.c.
-28Sep06
-kes Print the Volume purged message only for real jobs to keep
- from cluttering up the daemon messages.
-kes Lock the tape drive door while Bacula is using the device.
-kes Add back the 'No Jobs running' message to FD and SD status because
- my regression script depends on it, and I'm too lazy to change the
- scripts.
-kes Start using structure assignments (not too happy about it ...).
-kes Fix a bug in the tools Makefile that broke on Solaris.
-kes Unload any autochanger drive during a 'release' command.
-26Sep06
-kes Enhance error message when restoring without bootstrap file.
-kes Check restored size only for regular files.
-kes Store Python job level in job record in Dir.
-kes Add back code to open tape device nonblocking, but if rewind fails
- release file descriptor.
-kes Modify acquire.c to first try autoloading the device. Also, ask operator
- to mount tape if drive cannot be opened.
-rbn Made Windows service tray status windows resizable.
-rbn Fixed horizontal scrolling of text in status window.
-rbn Preserve horizontal and vertical scroll position while
- updating. This prevents the display being reset to the
- top line every 5 seconds.
-rbn Fix Windows cross-compile compatibilty problems with
- *nix variants such as OS X without the zic command.
-rbn Eliminate dependency on man2html.
-25Sep06
-kes Update src/win32/dll/bacula.def for change in BPIPE definition for
- Win32 build.

-kes Add new version of upgrade-win32-client.txt to examples directory.
- Submitted by Michel Meyers.
-kes Print an INFO message in the job report when a Volume is marked Purged.
-rbn Fixed handling of external program and script execution
- so that the format of the command line is more flexible.
- Now executable path names containing spaces are translated
- to the equivalent short name automatically. The result is
- passed to cmd.exe with the quotes removed.
-24Sep06
-kes Apply the recycle patch from Richard Mortimer.
-kes Convert a few if statements in dev.c to switch statements.
-kes Start using print_errmsg instead of bstrerror().
-kes Print a job message in SD when a job is marked to be canceled.
-23Sep06
-kes All code added back. Fixed block.c read/write to loop only 3
- times. This apparently keeps the OS from crashing (at least
- most of the time).
-kes The kernel bug still persists. Backup something then immediately
- do a bscan on the same tape, and the kernel will crash.
-kes Simplifed tape open(). It no longer uses nonblocking mode, which
- means that opening with no tape loaded will probably take at least
- 6 minutes before an error is reported.
-kes Do not use MTSETDRVBUFFER if not running as root. Do a MTRESET
- when doing set_os_device_parameters.
-kes Report open error in mount.c
-kes Remove all .exe files from the installer directory on make clean.
-20Sep06

-kes Back out a number of changes because backups to tape crash my
- system.
-kes Remove the inetd code from the File daemon.
-18Sep06
-kes Add -c option to pg_dump so that it initializes tables when
- restored.
-kes Fix FirstWritten time on Volume to be obtained from SD so that
- it is the actual time the volume was first written.
-kes Minor Makefile changes.
-kes Handle EBUSY during read(). Improve how EBUSY is handled in write().
-ebl Add yes keyword to prune/purge command
-16Sep06
-kes Correct a test in block.c that prevented restore of a DVD from
- looking at the last part in the spool directory.
-kes Make some error messages clearer mostly by using the word DVD
- in the message. Improve infor message in read_record for DVDs.
-kes Remove DVD kludges in dircmd.c label/relabel.
-kes Move the dvd relabel code from dircmd.c into
- write_new_volume_label_to_dvd() adding a relabel argument.
-kes Rewrite the truncate_dvd() code to be much simpler and
- more logical. First blow away any spool part, then create a
- new empty part and write to the DVD.
-kes Rewrite the can_write_on_non_blank_dvd() code making it
- only ensure that no valid data is on the DVD -- i.e. it
- can be overwritten.
-15Sep06
-kes Minor Makefile fixes.
-kes Put attach_dcr_to_dev in a subroutine.
-kes Make attaching/detaching to/from a device use a flag and
- only detach if actually attached.
-kes Add dvd-simulator.in to scripts directory and add to configure.
-kes Fix code in acquire.c that checks fd != 0 to use dev->is_open().
- This could be a cause of a number of drive reservation problems.
- Note, this code is now in attach_dcr_to_dev().
-kes Suppress doing Volume updates if it is a system job. This should
- prevent the DVD label blocking.
-kes Clear the freespace ok flag in a couple of strategic places.
-14Sep06
-kes Put removing zero sized spool part file in subroutine and
- call from release_device().
-kes Add Richard's patch for relabel to dircmd.c, but save and restore
- dev Volume name.
-kes Rework a lot of subroutines in dev.c to take dcr as an
- argument. This is done to eliminate the usage of attached_dcrs
- in lseek().
-kes Change truncated_dvd to blank_dvd, which seems more suitable.
-kes Apply most of Richard Mortimer's truncate patch.
-kes Create lseek() method for DEVICE that takes dcr as an
- argument. This is to eliminate the use of attached_dcrs in
- lseek(). The calls to lseek_dev() must still be changed.
-13Sep06
-kes Apply Richard Mortimer's patches for printing an error
- message in btape when a DVD is used, and to initialize traceback.
-kes Added error message to btape when trying to access a file.
-kes Move prototype of update_slots() to protos.h.
-12Sep06
-kes Add JobErrors, JobFiles, SDJobFiles, SDJobErrors, SDJobStatus,
- and FDJobStatus to the Director Python variables.
-kes Make sure valid argument passed to str_to_utime() where Arno
- had a seg fault.
-kes Apply Richard Mortimer's patch for bcopy, bextract, and bscan.
- I.e. part of two different patches.
-11Sep06
-kes Modify disk changer to simulate some of the error conditions
- of mtx-changer.
-kes Make sure the close() call in the SD tools is just before the
- getchar() call.
-kes Implement dir_get_volume_info() in bls using the patch from
- Richard Mortimer but call find_num_dvd_parts().
-kes Implement find_num_dvd_parts() that mounts and scans a DVD
- and counts the parts.
-kes Move the omode code in open_dvd() up so that the cannot
- write on blank disk can check can be bypassed for read mode.
- Not yet implemented.
-10Sep06
-kes Disable normal data spooling for DVD writing which uses
- a different spooling mechanism.
-kes Apply patch from Richard Mortimer to ensure that the number
- of DVD parts is correctly updated.
-rbn Save installer details log in the Bacula directory as
- install.log.
-rbn Add installer generation of client and storage templates
- suitable for @inclusion on the director.
-rbn Mark previously installed components for Win32 read-only since
- deselection doesn't do anything.
-

- to ensure that ACLs are respected and that user is
- correctly prompted for database.
-kes Integrate multiple console/director patch from
- Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-ebl Add character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- You can use now 'WriteBootStrap = '/path/%c_%n.bsr''
-kes Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console
-kes Restore DCR after VOL_NAME_ERROR in mount.c. Hopefully
- this will fix bug #627 where Bacula eventually gets
- confused about what Volume it wants.
-kes Add a new close_part() class in the SD to save the device
- state around open/close_part/open for DVD writing. This
- should fix the num_dvd_parts getting zeroed as reported by
- Richard Mortimer.
-kes Apply patch from Richard Mortimer that correct edit code
- for debug output of st_size.
-ebl Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan.
- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary)
-06Sep06

- and Custom installs. Automatic installs only prompt for
- configuration items that can't be reasonably defaulted.
-rbn Added Bacula logo to page headers.
-rbn Added Upgrade support

-kes Print part number in read_records when eof hit (restore).
-rbn Installer default changed to start services on new install.
-31Aug06

- on open_next_part when dealing with a spool file.
-kes Correct the lseek_dev() routine to handle end point correctly
- (bug introduced by me).

-kes Apply dvd-handler patch from Richard Mortimer.
-kes Apply dvd error check patch from Richard Mortimer.
-kes Apply bpipe race patch from Richard Mortimer.
-kes Rework how DVD labels are handled and set append only
- when part > num_dvd_parts.
-27Aug06
-kes Rework many features of DVD writing and reading. Added many error
- messages. Most importantly changed part to represent the current
- part number base zero. This makes current DVD writing incompatible
- with previous version.
-26Aug06
-kes Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir.
-kes Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
- the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
- path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
- over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-kes Modified message to add a ? (as in loaded?) when querying the autochanger
- for what Slot is loaded.
-kes Fixed the use of Slot, so that is more correctly maintained, thus
- eliminating unneeded duplicate calls to determine what Slot is loaded.
-25Aug06
-kes Install man pages with 'make install'

-16Aug06
-kes If doing a mount, look for a slot, and if specified pass it to
- the SD so that it can load the autochanger.
-kes Return DVD=1 flag if a label command is done to a DVD. This
- permits setting VolParts to 1.
-kes Apply DVD patch from Richard Mortimer <richm@oldelvet.org.uk>, but
- rework ua_label code based on DVD media type to use DVD flag returned.
-15Aug06
-kes Eliminate some compile warnings in dird_conf.c
-kes Format the bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
- command for the three daemons with suffixes to reduce print size
- of backup bytes. Suggested by a user.
-kes When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
- triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer.
-kes Do not unload autochanger when doing a list command -- basic code
- from Eric Bollengier.
-12Aug06
-rbn Reworked the MinGW32 build-dependencies script, it has been renamed
- to build-depkgs-mingw32. It now handles two options -h to display
- help and -C to reextract the source and apply the patches. The -C
- option is useful for updating the source after new patches are
- released.
-rbn Moved the 3rd party package URLs to a separate file External-mingw32.
- This allows updating to new versions without having to modify the
- script and makes it easier to figure out which packages and which
- versions are used.
-rbn Added a new script build-depkgs-msvc.cmd which does the same thing
- as build-depkgs-mingw32 except they are built using Microsoft Visual C
- and placed in the depkgs-msvc directory. There is also an
- External-msvc file to describe the packages.
-08Aug06
-rbn Fix Windows cross-compile compatibilty problems with FreeBSD.
-07Aug06
-kes Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
- from File= was not found.
-kes Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
- do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
- have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
- Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
-06Aug06
-kes Defined BUILDING_CATS in src/cats/cats.h so that *nix builds.
-dsb Updated rpm spec for 1.39 - updatedb 9 to 10, add new man pages,
- fix bug 648 - update sqlite script patches, lock out gnome2console
- builds for platforms with gtk+ < 2.4.
- Updated build_rpm.sh - add remote source directory, add switch for
- signing, refine file names.
- Updated spec file again for Mandriva build as they have this curious
- custom of silently converting all manpages to bzip2 format just before
- the final packaging step.
-05Aug06
-rbn Fixed the Windows Makefiles so that they won't accidentally try and
- pickup binaries for the Unix build. This allows both the Unix
- build and the Windows build to be built in the same tree without
- interfering with each other.
-rbn Fixed error handling and cleaned up mtx-changer.cmd.
-rbn Added the rest of the database scripts. These are installed but are
- not yet edited for variable replacement.
-rbn Broke out the cats functionality from bacula.dll and put into new
- separate dlls for each database type. At installation time the
- correct one is copied to bacula_cats.dll.
-rbn Eliminate the need to install the mysql.dll on client only builds.
-rbn Moved dird/sql_cmds.c into the cats directory so all the database
- specific #ifdefs were in the cats directory.
-rbn Added a new sql_cmds.h with all the declarations for the variables
- exported from sql_cmds.c.
-rbn Moved catalog_db[] from lib/message.c to a new routine db_get_type()
- which is implemented in bdb.c, mysql.c, postgresql.c and sqlite.c in
- src/cats.

- name editing problems with too many \\?\es.
-kes Fix some Bacula source code style problems in compat.cpp.
-kes Add debug code to compat.cpp and convert non-Bacula debug code
- to Bacula style.
-02Aug06

-01Aug06
-kes Update copyright date in program files, and for the most part
- put it on a #define.

- sys/stat.h was turned off.
-kes Use suffix editing for new transfer rate messages.
-kes Attempt to come up with a workaround which seems to be an OS
- bug where write() returns EBUSY. IMO this should not happen.
- It triggered in truncatebug test. The workaround retries using
- a 100 ms wait.
-kes Eliminate a strerror() call in a class method that failed with
- older C++ compilers.
