-Release 1.38.4 16Jan06 released 17 Jan 06:
-16Jan06
-- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
- list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
- lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
-15Jan06
-- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
- pool by releasing free buffers.
-14Jan06
-- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
-- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
-12Jan06
-- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
- number of items goes to zero.
-- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
- so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
- waiting.
-- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
- and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
- These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
- a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
- messages will generally print for each JobId because they
- represent the different problems with either the same drive
- or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
- of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
- or greater is enabled in the SD.
-11Jan06
-- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
- the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
- the job can be manually started from the console.
-- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
- StorageId is zero (old Media records).
-
-
-Beta release 1.38.4:
-09Jan06
-- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
- slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
-- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
-- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
- drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
- Arno's changer bug.
-07Jan06
-- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
-06Jan06
-- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
- differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
- hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
- util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
- upgrades.
-- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
- incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
- routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
- from under the walk routines.
-
-Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
-04Jan06
-- Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
- premature termination of the reservation if all drives
- are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
-26Dec05
-- Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
-
-Beta release 23Dec05:
-22Dec05
-- Add OPENSSL_INC to console dependencies, lib dependencies, and
- wx-console dependencies in Makefile.in
-- Add OPENSSL INC/LIB to gnome2_console Makefile.in.
-- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
- volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
- code.
-- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
-- Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
- it is not an autochanger.
-- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
- This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
- rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
- file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
-- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
- if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
- Arnos problem.
-- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
-- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
-- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
- code. This should fix bug #500.
-21Dec05
-- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
-- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
- of the mode.
-- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
- You have messages.
-- Delete old bnet packet code.
-- Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
- wx-console.
-- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
- only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
- #514.
-Beta release 20Dec05:
-20Dec05
-- Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
- reported by Wolfgang Denk
-19Dec05
-- Implement load balancing code.
-- Pull a few files from 1.39 where we can maintain compatibility.
-- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
- more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
- jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
-17Dec05

-- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
-- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
-16Dec05

-- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
-14Dec05

- for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
-- Add quotes around table Version because of
- error in MySQL 4.1.15 -- bug report submitted.
-- Correct some minor problems with btape in the fill
- command.
-- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.

-- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
- and always open nonblocking.
-- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
-- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
-- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
- message.
-- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
-13Dec05
-- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
-- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
-- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
-- Make wait_for_device() always return after 120 seconds of wait.
-12Dec05
-- Use localhost if no network configured
-11Dec05

-- Remove debug print.
-- Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
-09Dec05

-- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
-- Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
-- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
- and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
- to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
-- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
-08Dec05
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
- correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
- Bug # 506.
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
- to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client

- Christian Masopust.
-- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
- from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
-06Dec05
-- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
- Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
-- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
- errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
-- Add sanity check in append.c to ensure that dcr is not NULL.
- This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
- channel and drive indicies do not correspond.
-05Dec05
-- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
-- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
-- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
- caused an error.
-- Add back next_vol index code so that two drive autochangers can get
- a second tape.
-- Change a bunch of debug levels to aid debugging autochangers.
-- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
-- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
- at the same time.
-04Dec05
-- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
- If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
- or
- "status dir days=xx"
- My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
- next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
- the weekend.
