+13Nov08
+ebl Add more variables accessible through the director plugin

+ - add director plugin dump after a fatal signal
+ebl Apply Riccardo's patch that fix some win32 compilation errors
+ and a bug with bat version browser.
+11Nov08
+ebl Add Plugin debug after a fatal signal.
+ebl Add db and rwlock debug after a fatal signal.
+10Nov08

+ from the job start and group all wait periods.
+ebl Add tips for postgresql to improve performance when having
+ multiple batch insert at the same time.
+09Nov08

+ebl Add allow_transactions flag to mysql db backend.
+kes Apply win32-fixes patch from Riccardo that makes the Win32
+ bat more stable and faster (but still slow).

+kes Fix bug with job name duplication if more than 60 jobs created
+ during a minute.

+04Nov08
+ebl Fix bash shell to sh shell in database creation script
+02Nov08
+kes Fix orphaned jobs (possible deadlock) while pruning.
+kes Use jcr stored in bsock rather than searching in getmsg.c.
+ This results in about a 5% speed improvement with four
+ concurrent jobs.
+kes Implement win32_chmod that uses wide characters, if possible,
+ to get and set the file attributes.
+29Oct08
+kes Apply pane freezing during updates patch from Riccardo Ghetta.
+kes Rework next_vol and autoprune a bit due to failure in
+ recycle-test. prune_volumes() now returns no status,
+ but should prune at least one Volume, if possible.
+kes Modify check_if_volume_valid_or_recyclable to reject a
+ volume with Recycle set off.
+kes Modify prune_volumes() to continue if volume Recycle is off
+ or if the volume has expired. Add more debug.
+28Oct08
+kes Fix bug #1046 VolumeToCatalog incorrectly reports mounted
+ filesystems as missing on the Volume.
+kes Rewrite the set_jcr_job_status() code to include job status
+ priorities so that more important status changes occur but
+ lower priority status changes will not overwrite something
+ more serious. This could possibly cause reporting incorrect status
+ reporting in some cases. More testing is needed to ensure
+ I have the right priorities. This vastly simplifies the previous
+ contorted logic.
+ Verify Diff status should now be correctly reported, whereas it
+ was previously lost.
+kes Reduce some debug output.
+kes Apply Joao's patch to SQLite tables to make chars work.
+27Oct08
+ebl Fix #1175 About update slots that don't reset InChanger flag when
+ slot is empty.
+ebl Fix #1173 where prune_volume() returns a volume from the scratch.
+25Oct08
+kes Remove jobq.c constraint that read and write SD must be
+ different. This may lead to more deadlocks in the SD,
+ but they should be resolved there.
+kes Ensure that job report is always printed even if job is failed
+ in the director.
+kes Don't print job report twice for failed VBackup jobs.
+24Oct08
+kes Fix editing of retention time difference to use 64 bit
+ int instead of 64 bit unsigned. This should permit very
+ long retention periods.
+kes Implement code to prohibit a write job from appending to a
+ Volume that will be used for a read operation. This is
+ new code and could possibly cause some conflicts.
+23Oct08
+kes Integrate James Harper's Exchange Win32 plugin patch.
+kes Apply patch from Marco van Wieringen that implements the new
+ Solaris libsec interface for ACLs so that Bacula can save and
+ restore both the new ACLs and old ACLs.
+kes Marco's patch also corrects the file dependency generation code
+ so that it works properly both with shared libraries and static
+ libraries.
+kes Marco's patch also includes a small cleanup of the cats Makefile
+ to remove some references to non-existent files.
+22Oct08
+kes Modify win32 Makefiles to use full paths in most cases.
+ In particular add MAINDIR environment variable that points
+ to the main Bacula source directory.
+21Oct08
+kes Add read volume list code to SD -- not yet used.
+kes Add James' binutils patch
+kes Split volume management code out of src/stored/reserve.c into
+ a new file vol_mgr.c
+kes Modify configure to do an automatic make clean. This ensures
+ that any changes to ./configure options are handled correctly.
+
+Beta Release Version 2.5.16
19Oct08
kes Add Makefile dependency when using LIBTOOL_LINK so that any
change in ./configure options will be accounted for.
despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
