+ Technical notes on version 3.0.x
-Released as 1.38.0 28Oct05:
-
-Changes to 1.37.42:
-26Oct05
-- Don't overwrite pthreadVCE.dll or msvcr71.dll during Win32
- install.
-- Update README.win32 instructions.
-25Oct05
-- Make db_get_job_record() return Name so that the ACL
- can be checked. Fixes bug #446
-22Oct05
-- Insure that all the SD tools init the Autochanger
- resources.
-
-Changes to 1.37.41:
-22Oct05
-- Print error message if no Changer Command found.
-- Apply fix from Martin Simmons to clear structure before
- using it in IPADDR -- fixes a bind() bug on AIX.
-14Oct05
-- Add NetBSD fstype patch from Geert Hendrickx <ghen@telenet.be>
-- Update num_parts only when writing to DVD.
-13Oct05
-- Fix error conditions in bpipe.c DVD routine (terminate buffer).
-- Use a bigger buffer 32K as suggested by Arno in bpipe.c.
-- Increase dvd mount timeout with patch from Arno.
-- Modify DVD code so that it keeps a state flag that indicates
- when the freespace variable is valid. freespace_errno, now has
- either 0 or an errno. There are no negative errnos.
-- Create is_freespace_ok() to test state flag. Also, set_freespace_ok()
- and clear_freespace_ok(). Modify code to use them. This
- simplifies a bit the logic of the freespace code.
-- Edit 64bit debug values correctly in dvd.c
-- Fix %e variable to check num_parts rather than part.
-- Use static buffer instead of static buffers for FI_to_ascii()
- and stream_to_ascii() debug routines in SD. This is to prevent
- possible race conditions between two threads (possibly Phil's
- unmount problem).

- is intended to be used in the tree routines to get a
- machine readable output for GUIs like wx-console.

- Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
- the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
- This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
- card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
-- The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.

- pruning.
-- Add more database fields and fix the update scripts to
- include the new items.
-- Pass actual level to FD so that ClientRun editing can reflect

- the code logic becomes clearer. This is in preparation for
- actually using the new Device resources.
-- Fix some lower case problems in sql_cmds.c reported by
- Debian.
-- Correct a seg fault in the SD reported by a user. Occurred
- only when a high debug level was set.

- ws.patch.03.trailing:
- This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
- my setup.

- a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
- updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
-- Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
- to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
-- Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
- option (no write) to work.

- of the directory name during the match process.
-- Implement Jamie ffolliott <jamieff@inline.net>

+ removed. Removing not yet implemented.
+18Nov08
+kes Implement a fix that very likely fixes the undesired volume
+ purge reported by Graham Keeling.

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

+ 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,

+ 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.

+ 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.

+ was previously lost.
+kes Reduce some debug output.
+kes Apply Joao's patch to SQLite tables to make chars work.
+27Oct08

+ 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.

+10Oct08
+kes Move generation of bsr file for Virtual Backup to run section
+ so that it is generated just before actually running.
+ Suggested by Graham Keeling.
+09Oct08
+kes Add malloc and free Bacula entry points for plugins. Increment
+ FD plugin interface version. Create a bacula plugin context

+05Jul08
+kes Apply Eric's patch to ensure that autoprune does not return
+ a Volume not in the autochanger unless requested to do so.
+kes Correct bat restore display of multiple drives. This fixes

+kes Add const char in dbd.c to avoid compiler warnings.
+kes Fix python compiler string warning. Note, IMO the GNU C++
+ compiler guys have made a *very* bad change to their compiler.
+ They now force all strings to be 'const' unless you explicitly
+ cast them, which is extremely ugly and ruins nice code as well
+ as creates a lot of useless work.
+02Jul08
+kes Fix mtx-changer to detect both versions of Ubuntu (Debian)
+ mt. This fixes bug #1116.
+kes Add const in python files to reduce compiler warnings.
+ This may have to be backed out because of later compiler
+ strict checking.
+kes Fix failure of 2drive-concurrent-test. Always read label;
+ clear_unload() only after drive is defined in acquire_for_read().
+27Jun08
+kes Generally clean up the manual tape loading code. The main
+ conceptual change is that when a volume is marked to be unloaded,
+ its volume name is retained, and it is only marked as unloaded
+ when either the autoloader says it is unloaded or another tape
+ is read on that drive.
+25Jun08
+kes Add debug code and refactor subroutine in stored/mount.c
+kes Fix format problem in bscan output reported in bug #1105.

+23Jun08
+ebl Add mmap/unmmap implementation for tokyodbm under win32

+ autochanger.
+09Jun08
+ebl Rename vtape to vtape.
+ebl Update vtape driver.
+08Jun08
+ebl Modify vtape driver to avoid sparse file.
+kes Add make clean of qt-source directory during ./configure
+kes Store last block number written to tape in DEVICE and
+ use it for testing for correct last block on EOT.
