+ Technical notes on version 1.39
-Changes to 1.38.3:
-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.

- - Implement these directives (volumes can now be restored from a manually written DVD).
- - Add WriteFirstPartCommand, WritePartCommand directives in Device (SD configuration file).
- - Implement these directives (DVD writing now works).
- - New function run_program_full_output in src/lib/bpipe.c.

-Changes to 1.37.30 released 16 July 2005:
-14Jul05
-- Fix "dir" command scanning field misalignment in
- wx-console.
-- Switch to using the wxWidgets Unicode library.
-- Include msvcr71.dll in distribution.
-- Add VSS to status line in Win32 FD if enabled.
-- Get VSS build scripts working with Thorsten's help.
-- Unlink the bootstrap file after sending it to
- the FD.
-- Remove sending include/exclude lists to the FD during
- a restore -- deprecated code.
-- Cleanup the bootstrap files in the FD.
+General:
-Changes to 1.37.29:
-14Jul05
-- Remove old commented out code from configure.in
-- Add baculavssfd.mak file for building VSS version of
- Win32 FD.
-- Correct date (year) in vss.cpp and vss_generic.cpp
-13Jul05
-- I finally found and squashed the elusive SD crash.
- I needed to initialize the used volume list before
- firing off the device initialization thread.
-Changes to 1.37.28:
-11Jul05
-- Make sure that bpipe results are zapped even on
- error return.
-- Lots of documentation.
-- Do not prune volume marked as append when needing a
- new Volume.
-- Print a warning message in SD if a non-used Volume
- is specified and autolabel not turned on.
-- Correct a bug in chksum.c concerning SHA1 signatures
- (an * should have been & when checking for a bit flag).
-- Print File:Block for all label records in label.c -- concerns
- primarily bls when doing Job listings (-j).
-- Correct is_volume_in_use() to return false if testing
- on the same device where the Volume is already mounted.
-- Define a init_done flag in the SD that is set when the
- devices are initialized and make users connecting wait.
- This prevents useless connect failure warning messages.
-- Do additional device locking in ask_op_to_mount_volume()
- to prevent race conditions with a user labeling a Volume
- or autolabeling.
-09Jul05
-- Add a test for error return from bnet_wait... in heartbeat.c
- in FD to avoid CPU loop.
-- Implement TLS in gnome console and wx-console.
+12Nov06
+kes Change error message 'illegal' to 'invalid' -- bug #707
+kes Add rather primitive device resource deadlock detection in
+ the job queue handler. It detects the same read and write device
+ for migration and cancels the job.
+kes Start adding a unique_dbid_hander() routine in migration to avoid
+ duplicate mediaids and duplicate jobids.
+kes Add patch from bug #708 to permit relative paths such as ../xxx
+ in the restore tree routine.
+kes Add Eric Bollengier's patch to reduce locking time in the SD after
+ despooling, and thus many jobs finish faster.
+kes Correct locking order of reservations lock and device mutex in
+ reserve.c -- this should correct Arno's deadlock that occurred
+ when doing mount/unmount at the same time a job is reserving a
+ drive.
+05Nov06
+rbn Fixed problems with encryption when combined with compression
+ or sparse files. Unfortunately this means that all previous
+ encrypted backups can't be restored.
+rbn Fixed problem in bfgets with Windows and Mac end of lines.
+rbn Fixed bug in Windows version of close_bpipe() that cause programs
+ like bsmtp() to hang waiting for the pipe to be closed. Fixed
+ binary file type problems in open_bpipe().
+rbn Fixed a number of bugs in the mysql DB scripts.
+03Nov06
+ebl Fix broken runscript on director. (RunBefore, RunAfter)
+ebl Use M_ERROR instead of M_FATAL in runscript.c
+31Oct06
+ebl Small fix src/dird/job.c to add JobErrors count to catalog.
+rbn Ignore UTF-8 marker at the start of .conf files.
+rbn Add stab2cv to 3rd party dependencies. This is a utility I
+ wrote that is licensed under the GPL and available on SourceForge.
+ It converts the stab debugging info generated by gcc into Codeview
+ format. Currently it just translates function names to global
+ symbols. This is sufficient to get reasonable stack traces from
+ Dr Watson and to look at minidumps.
+rbn Fix bug # 699 - winbacula client crashes whilerunning bat scripts.
+rbn Enable Windows XP look and feel for the tray icons and wx-console.
+rbn Add Windows specific FileSet example to bacula-dir.conf.
+rbn Reorganize Start menu so that documentation and configuration are
+ in subfolders.
+21Oct06
+rbn Change daemons and utilities so that if -c is omitted from the
+ command line AND there is no configuration file in the current
+ directory then the 'standard' configuration file (eg
+ /etc/bacula/bacula-*.conf) will be used. If the argument to -c
+ doesn't contain any path separators AND there is no configuration
+ file by that name in the current directory then the 'standard'
+ configuration file directory will be searched for a file by that
+ name.
+rbn Fixed restore on Windows so that backslashes as path separators works.
+rbn Add missing query.sql file to Windows installer.
+rbn Fixed Windows versions of catalog backup scripts.
+20Oct06
+kes Fix optional files in Makefile.in of src/filed that caused
+ a syntax error when using no optional files.
+15Oct06
+lf Fix a cosmetic bug in filed.c that caused spurious OpenSSL error
+ messages; there is no reason to attempt to load a private key.
+ from master key files.

- are freed.
-- Correct how Volumes are mounted and handled so that the SD
- does not get stuck if multiple volumes are used (recycling,
- relabling, ...)
-- Correct bug where you could relabel a volume while it
- was being acquired -- created chaos.
-04Jul05
-- Correct seg fault caused by open() calling sequence change.
-03Jul05
-- Add new rc-chio-changer script by Rudolf Cejka to
- examples/autochangers
-- Apply Rudolf's changes to bacula.in

- file sizes for restore and dir of catalog, otherwise
- GB sizes are truncated -- fixes bug report.
-- Modify wx-console to know about 10 character widths.
-- Allow decending into top level directory if "recurse=no"
- is set. Fixes a bug report.
-- Install pthreadVCE.dll when installing console or wx-console
- on Win32 systems. Fixes bug report.
-02Jul05
-- Tweak dvd-writepart script to prevent door from opening/closing
- so much.
-- Remove GROUP BY in several PostgreSQL commands to prevent error.
- Resolves bug report.
-- Ensure that < as first character of filename list is not treated
- as a directory for restore.
-- Add debug to heartbeat in FD as it seems to go into an

-- Add more debug code to dvd writing.
-- Attempt not to destroy existing fs on DVD.
-30Jun05

- error if device is already mounted.
-- Eliminated guess_name() code. It may be necessary to
- add it back later.
-- Eliminate seg fault from printing invalid results.
-- Make dvd_write_part() bool.
+Version 1.39.26 released:
+12Oct06
+kes Apply the three patches from Richard Mortimer.
+ bacula-reposition.patch, bacula-tape-reopen.patch, and
+ bacula-eod.patch. This corrects tape positioning on older devices,
+ and also a problem with btape.
+kes Apply fix from bug report #696 where writing to a FIFO does not
+ work due to a dumb typo.
+kes Unlock the tape door before the file descriptor is released. This
+ should fix lots of somewhat subtle failures when using an autochanger.
+11Oct06
+kes Correct mtx-changer bug that I introduced in a recent commit, and
+ pointed out by Robert Nelson -- thanks.
+rbn Fix Windows' daemons so that messages print to stdout if not
+ running as a service.
+rbn Add daemon name to trace file name (eg bacula-dir.trace).
+rbn Fix environment variable expansion in directory names on Windows.
+rbn Fix autochanger support in fill command.
+rbn Update SQL scripts to match Unix versions.
+rbn Fix daemon usage displays.
+rbn Cleanup bacula-dir.conf template.
+rbn Install openssl.cnf so that the openssl.exe installed in the
+ Bacula\bin directory can be used to generate keys and
+ certificates for TLS and encryption.
+rbn Fix cleanup of spool files on Windows.
+rbn Remove /silent option from daemons on Windows. The new default
+ is the same as the old /silent. To enable the message boxes that
+ previously were suppressed by /silent you must add /debug instead.
+ NOTE: As a result of this change, the first time you upgrade from
+ a previous version of 1.39.x you will receive the message
+ boxes when the remove of the old services succeeds. This
+ is the same behaviour as when migrating from a version prior
+ to 1.39.0.
+ However, going forward, these message boxes will not appear on
+ upgrades or new installs.
+rbn Add new /debug option. This option enables the message boxes that
+ previously were suppressed by the /silent option. In addition the
+ daemons running as services will open a console window if this
+ option is used.
+rbn Fix bug with service not being removed on migrated installs. This
+ should correct those cases where the file daemon install was failing
+ when upgrading from versions prior to 1.39.x.
-29Jun05
-- Attempt to fix DVD writing by eliminating a number of the
- DVD subroutines to simplify.
-- Modify DEVICE::open() to take dcr as first argument. This
- will permit providing more info to DVD opening.
-- Fix scanning for time/size items which in some cases
- ate the next line.
-- Eliminate read_dvd_volume_label(). New code (not yet written)
- *must* open dvd appropriately before calling
- read_dev_volume_label.
-- Modify open_first_part() open_next_part() to take DCR as
- argument.
-- Make label command from console work on DVDs.
-- Make mount command from console work on DVDs.
- Unmount does not work yet.
+08Oct06
+kes Turn on heap reporting in Dir with zero debug level.
+kes Send a message to the sys log when Bacula forces a SEG FAULT, and
+ send the same message to stdout.
+07Oct06
+kes Begin work on new GUI "console".
+kes Make configure look in non-standard MySQL library directory
+ for Solaris.
+kes Make mtx-changer automatically configure the autochanger wait
+ procedure for Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux. Previously, only Linux
+ was implemented.
+kes Correct drop_sqlite_tables.in script to not delete the database.
+kes When writing to a log file, close and reopen the file descriptor
+ if there is an error writing the file.
+kes Modify the autochanger loaded?, load, and unload commands to print
+ the full text of any mtx output if there is an error. Helps to
+ ease diagnosis of autochanger problems.
+kes Correct a few Win32 errno returns in the VSS code so that hopefully
+ a resonable Win32 error message will be printed.
+kes Convert a few strcat()... to bstrncat() in the Win32 code.
+06Oct06
+rbn Added Windows version of bsmtp.
+rbn Fixed path search for Windows so that Bacula\bin is automatically
+ searched for programs and scripts.
+rbn Fixed bugs in mtx-changer.cmd and made template bacula-sd.conf
+ Windows specific.
-Changes to 1.37.27:
-27Jun05

+02Oct06
+rbn Fix restore problem with c:\ prefix bug #676.
+rbn Verify that drive letter is valid on restore.
+rbn Fix re-open() options for tape.
+kes Apply dvd find volume patch from Richard Mortimer.
+kes Eliminate the dvd specific mount routines using only the
+ dev->mount/unmount.
+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 Start adding back removed code.
+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.

+ 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)

+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.

+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.
+kes Correct improperly formatted list command output reported by Dan.
+04Aug06
+kes Correct despool time calculation.
+03Aug06

+kes Use old style MD5 for FileSets to avoid Full saves on every Job.
+kes Attempt to fix problems with the msg_queue crashing on Solaris
+ when Bacula is terminating, but problems remain.
+kes Add WIN32_VSS to HAVES in src/Makefile.inc.in to correct VSS
+ 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
+kes Change the name of the technical notes file from kes-1.39 to
+ technotes-1.39. Prefix my messages with 'kes '.
+kes Allow dequeue_messages() to be called twice. Should fix bug
+ # 649.
+kes Add Job type to bscan Job information output.
+01Aug06
+kes Update copyright date in program files, and for the most part
+ put it on a #define.
+kes Implement %q in bsnprintf.c apparently I forgot it.
+31Jul06
+kes Make disk-changer sed command compatible with FreeBSD.
+kes Make a first cut at a ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog for a
+ beta release.

+kes Fix some #ifdefing so that Solaris and FreeBSD compile
+ 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.
+kes Use rm -rf rather than rmdir to delete the src/win32/release
+ directory during make clean.

+kes Update projects files with new Feature Requests.
+kes Generate current English and French manuals and upload
+ them to the site.
+kes Update the home page to include the new British/French flags to
+ switch between translations. Work done by Alexandre Baron.
+kes Make disk-changer script print an error message if the changer
+ directory is not defined.
+kes Create a generic DB routine for getting an int (32/64 bit) from
+ the DB.
+kes Add more migration code.
+kes Add a few more files to .cvsignore here and there.
+kes Minor fixes for SD write rate and despooling rate.
+kes Turn off new test code in src/console.c

+kes Incremented the version number to signify that all of Robert's code
+ for Win32 that was in the branch is now integrated into the HEAD,
+ and that Eric has submitted code that we hope will provide limited
+ backward compatibility with 1.38 file daemons (more testing to be
+ done).
+kes I rationalized a few of the names of the variables (mainly jcr names)
+ that are used during migration as keeping three different jcrs at the

+08Jul06
+ ======================= Warning ==========================
+ Separate read and write storage in Jobs in the Director. This
+ is a major rewrite of some of the low level code and hence has
+ a high probability of introducing bugs.
+ ==========================================================
-Changes to 1.37.23:
-- Renamed to make unique version for open_next_part()
- changes.
+kes Move the job init code up to *before* the job is put into
+ the job queue (resource allocation queue). This permits the
+ job to establish whether it will read or write or do both.
+kes Add name() methods to all the resource classes.
+kes Implement separate read and write storage resource
+ allocation/deallocation in jobq.c
-Changes to 1.37.23:
-- Renamed to make unique version for open_next_part()
- changes.
+ ======================= Warning ==========================
+ Implemented new method of getting the default Storage from the Media
+ record rather than from the MediaType for restore. As a fall
+ back, if no Storage is defined, use the MediaType. This
+ eliminates most all prompts if there are multiple MediaTypes
+ used. This is an important and fundamental change.
+ ==========================================================
-Changes to 1.37.22:
-14Jun05
-- Fix the same state variable problem in open_next_part().
-- C++ify the SD code a bit more.
-13Jun05
-- Add more debug code and clarify debug code for DVDs.
-- Do not save and restore state in open_first_part()
- since state should be properly set after open_dev().
-- Make default mandir /usr/share/man
-- Install Bacula man page.
-- Implement passing of FileSet Enable VSS to FD.
-- Move main body of reserve drive code into subroutine
- so that it can be called multiple times.
-12Jun05
-- Eliminate getpass() for Win32 builds in console as the
- function does not exist.
-10Jun05
-- Correct some reservation problems in SD when no devices
- are available.
-- Start removing #ifdef HAVE_TLS by sneaky tricks.
-- Begin implementation of TLS in wx-console
-- Remove ignoring SIGCHLD from console.
-- Rework the dlist binary search routines for implemenation
- of the Volume reservation code -- make it more general.
-- Strip double slashes // from Win32 filenames in an attempt
- to resolve restore problems on some systems.
-- Fix a minor bugs in the trace code that caused the first
- line output to be lost.
-- Implement a good first cut at adding Volume reservation code
- to the storage daemon (in file reserve.c).
-- Remove old unused code from the tree.c routines.
+kes Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
+ for restore.
+kes More code in migrate. In particular start multiple jobs if
+ migrating a volume.
+kes Probably overkill, but ensure that the bsr is unique even within a
+ job in FD and SD.
+kes Rework bsys.c drop() so that it now should work as expected.
+kes Update a bunch of old copyrights -kes particularly in .h files.
+kes Remove src/lib/bshm.c/h
+05Jul06
+kes Migration fixes
+04Jul06
+ ======================= Warning ==========================
+ All hash codes in the database are now kept in world
+ compatible base64 format (no = filling). This means that
+ all FileSets will be updated and if you are running
+ verify jobs, you must do an InitCatalog.
+ Authentication uses the new algorithm, but should be
+ backward compatible with 1.38.x
+ ===========================================================
-Changes to 1.37.21:
-06Jun05
-- Fix compile problems on Win32
-- Start writing Volume reservation list (already exists, but
- is not really very good).
-- Implement attribute caching to put Signature into database
- at the same time as the file attributes thus eliminating a
- number of database accesses.
-- Correct a reservation problem.
-- Implement full Dir Storage use.
-- Reduce a bit of TLS #ifdeffing.
+kes Modify the authentication routines so that the 1.39.15 Director
+ always runs with the compatible binary to base64 code (same as
+ the rest of the world). It will however detect if an SD or
+ FD is running the old code and if that is the case, will use
+ the old algorithm for authentication. However, all consoles must
+ use the compatible algorithm, and all data entered into the database
+ (all hash signatures, MD5, SHA1, ..., and all FileSet hashes) will
+ use the compatible algorithm.
+kes Rename the cram_md5 routine names to be slightly more appropriate
+ to what they are doing (challenge and respond).
+kes Robert committed his #ifdef and header cleanup.
+30Jun06
+kes Fix a compiler warning in files/backup.c
+kes Cleanup NOT NULL vs DEFAULT 0 in database creation.
+kes Tweak btape.
+kes Robert committed his low impact changes.
+kes I removed a size_t from the jcr.h definition.
+kes Update the tape regression scripts (still to be tested).
+kes Add gcc and gcc-c++ requires to srm as suggested by a user.
+kes Require done or quit to exit from in memory tree restore.
+26Jun06
+kes Write install/uninstall of new manpages. There are now a
+ pile of man pages. Some of which need a lot of work.
-Changes to 1.37.20:
-04Jun05
-- Minor changes
-01Jun05
-- Add more documentation to mtx-changer.in
-- Correct link to manual in authenticate.c in various
- directories.
-- Create a new src/stored/reserve.c file where the
- Use Storage command is processed and drives are
- reserved.
-- Modify src/stored/autochanger.c to keep track of each
- Slot that is loaded for each device.
-- Ensure that changer_command and changer_name are picked
- up from Autochanger resource if not specified, and if
- neither is specified, err.
-30May05
-- Fix bextract.c compile problem
-- Create bacula.man
-- Make make distclean clean a bit better
-29May05
-- Remove old code in jcr.c
-- Make testls release jcr chain when terminating.
-27May05
-- Implement Maximum Job Spool Size (actually DCR based)
-26May05
-- Use light weight non-recursive locking on jcr chain.
-- Make JCR a class and implement inc_use_count() and
- dec_use_count() methods that ensure that the jcr is
- locked when inc/dec the use count.
-- Remove the global jcr lock when traversing the jcr
- chain.
-- Use dlist to implement the jcr chain rather than hand
- crafted next and prev links.
-- Lock the jcr chain inside each function that modifies
- the chain.
+ ======================= Warning ==========================
+ The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level
+ man directory. The man files will be installed under
+ mandir/man8 and mandir/man1 as appropriate.
+ ==========================================================

- with bootstrap=xxx.bsr
-- Add limit=nnn to "list jobs" command.
-- Remove old restore code that did not use .bsr file.
-- unlink automatically generated bsr file.
-- Cleanup heartbeat code so that duped fd is almost sure
- to be released. Previously under certain conditions, the
- memory was not released due to race conditions.
-- Shorten copyright.
-20May05
-- Unify the reserve_device() for a single device into one subroutine.
-18May05
-- Modify wait during use_device to happen only after all devices
- have been examined rather than in the reserve_device code.
-- Correct updating count of number of Volumes in a pool.
+kes Add complete text of GPL to LICENSE.

+24Jun06
+kes Implement Robert's suggestion to suppress printing compile lines.

+kes Add manpages Makefile.in to configure.in
+kes Remove installation of bacula.8 in scripts directory.
+24May06
+kes Implement patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME
+ support.
+ O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
+ updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
+ happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
+ prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
+ only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
+ programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
+ categories).
-Changes to 1.37.16 (03May05): released 05May05
-03May05
-- Make a few tls ifdef tweaks.
-- Fix create_file.c Win32 problem pointed out by
- Peter Sjoberg.
-- Fix really ugly bstrncpy() but found by Thorsten.
-- Move winapi.h/c from findlib to lib for inclusion in
- multiple places.
-02May05
-- Thorsten Engel finished his work on Win32 Unicode. We
- now have a single executable that runs on all Win32 machines.
-- Move job initialization code after job scheduling so that
- Verify jobs check for the prior JobId after they are really
- started rather than before.
-- Fix lib/fnmatch.c so that it does proper testing before folding.
-- More documentation -- at tls and ansi labels chapters.
-- Fix fileset_convert.pl to handle empty Exclude statements.
-- Turn regex back off in Win32
-01May05
-- Fix sign extension problem in lex.c that reads UTF-8
- with Chinese characters incorrectly.
+ Recent versions of the Linux kernel and glibc have support for it (the
+ glibc support being mostly copying the O_NOATIME definition to
+ bits/fcntl.h). If there's no support for it on the kernel, trying to use
+ it does nothing (since the kernel ignores unknown flags).
-Changes to 1.37.14:
-30Apr05
-- Remove a few HAVE_TLS #ifdefs
-- Implement final Python style interface. More implemention to
- be done, but the interface should change little if at all.
-28Apr05
-- Make default no tls support. You must add
- --with-openssl to get tls support.
-27Apr05
-- Update Web header to include google search in the search
- box -- thanks to input from Michel Meyers.
-- Fix md5sum so that it builds with the new openssl stuff.
-- Take some enhancements to the md5sum test program proposed
- by a user.
-26Apr05
-- Apply Tru64 patch supplied by Pascal Pederiva <freebsd@paped.com>
-- Apply Unicode fixes for Win32 from "Thorsten Engel"
- <thorsten.engel@matrix-computer.com>
-- More work on Python read feature in FD.
-22Apr05
-- Fix (hopefully) the ftello() overflow reported by Peter.
-- Landon Fuller committed his TLS patch.
-- Fixed two minor warnings in console.c with TLS turned off.
-- Updated the Makefile.in for wx-windows and tray-monitor
- to handle TLS. I can only build the tray-monitor.
-- Fix bscan to open tape in read-only mode (actually fix
- it so that it doesn't use the standard open routine).
-- Correct what appears to be an error in setting the
- return value in dvd.c
-21Apr05
-- Get FD Python running -- design Python backup interface.
-- Fix seg fault in SD when referencing Alert Command.
-- More documentation.
-- Fix one more thing in Win32 build.
-20Apr05
-- Doc updates
-- Fix Win32 build
-- Put in production here
+ If the kernel has support for it, trying to use it either works, fails
+ silently (mostly in remote filesystems), or returns errno=EPERM (if you
+ are not either the owner of the file or root). A simple way to prevent the
+ failure is to open the file without the flag and set it later with
+ fcntl(F_SETFL), ignoring any EPERM errors.
+kes Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure
+ of restarted jobs to complete (due to a destroyed pthreads conditional
+ variable used by the message thread).
+kes Fixed bug #619 where Bacula would not restart jobs with MaxRestartTimes
+ set to zero.

+ in restore long listing.
+kes Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #609 to use MarkId in verify.c instead
+ of incorrect MarkedId.
+kes Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace
+ Director with File daemon).
+kes Rework a few of the zlib changes so that they build properly.
-Changes to 1.37.13:
-19Apr05
-- Fix SQLite and PostgreSQL table creation script syntax
- problems.
-- Fix new Python code to work for Director.
-- Move lib/python.c to lib/pythonlib.c so that debug output
- is easier to read (can distinguish lib from dird, ...).
-- Cleanup Python build so that Python is not dragged
- into programs that don't use it.
+21May06
+kes Move DIR 'run' command to SD before starting the message thread
+ as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from
+ two threads using the bsock structure.
+kes Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
+05May06
+kes Correct EOF with no \n lex.c problem.
+kes Tweak compat.h compat.cpp and merge with apcupsd

- than trying to keep track of it.
-- Add storage name to string passed to in use storage=
-- Fix newVolume() so that the Python script is always
- called.

- hoping to fix the /lib/tls hang problems (lost signal).
-- Move resource locking seaching from parse_conf.c to res.c
- in src/lib.
-- Modify end of volume handling so that fixup_... does not
- redo what block.c has already done -- writing Vol info to
- DIR. This fixes a bug with bad numbers of files on a tape
- when it filled as reported by Peter.
-- In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
- info if the the information was already written at the
- end of the tape.
-28Mar05
-- NOTE!!!! This version has a new DIR <--> SD protocol. Both
- must be updated at the same time.
-- Begin implementation of passing all the Storage and Device
- possibilities to the SD for examination during the reserve
- phase.
-- Modify the reserve and acquire code in the SD to make a
- job wait if the device is not available.
-- Implement New Volume Each Job in DIR and pass to SD, not yet

- if the drive is not available. Note! This is a short
- term solution.
-25Mar05
-- Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
-- Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
- from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
-- Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
- do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
-- Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
- to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
- and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c
-- Change the code in reserve_device_for_read(), which previously
- failed the job to use the new device wait code.
-22Mar05
-- Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
-- Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.
-- Create patch for rescheduling problem found by Ludovic. Storage
- pointers were lost during rescheduling.
-- Attempt to fix 2.6 rescue disk -- failed!
-- Start working on adding a wait routine in the SD.
-- Cleanup some old invalid doc in watchdog.
-- Convert a number of references to dev->dev_name to dev->print_name().

- bit -- implement a few of the methods.
-18Mar05
-- Fix more print_name()s for printing device name.
-- Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
- open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no
- volume mounted). This gives a bit of settling in time
- for an autochanger and avoids spurious messages.
-- Change all yes/no to yes|no in the manual.
-- Fix win32 create_file.c typo.
-- Fix a typo in an error message.
-17Mar05

+02May06
+kes Simplify Win32 Makefile
+kes Correct count of buffers/bytes used by smartall.c
+kes Updated compat.h after porting apcupsd to MinGW.
+01May06
+kes Work on getting wx-console building on MinGW. wxWidgets now builds
+ started adding Makefile ...
+kes Moved MinGW library objects to src/win32/lib to reduce clutter.
+30Apr06
+kes Reloading a bad configuration file doesn't kill director any more.
+ Thanks to fix from Eric Bollengier.
+29Apr06
+kes Fix problem of accents with new Win32 code.
+kes Integrate Howard's VSS patch. Tweak it a bit. VSS now
+ works in the MinGW build with the exception that there
+ is a problem with accented characters -kes i.e. there is
+ some mapping problem with wide characters.
+kes The code no longer compiles with Microsoft VC++.
+28Apr06
+kes Start implementing Christopher's St.Bernard code.
+kes Add Christopher's mods for opening files.
+kes Strip \r \n from Win32 error messages (Christopher)
+kes Add more info about Win32 system if unknown (Christopher)
+kes Use bstrn(cpy, cat) routines to avoid overrun in compat.cpp
+kes Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
+ they should not be (e.g. commands).
+kes Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
+ Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
+kes Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
+ listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
+ values.
+kes Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
+ and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
+kes Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
+ machines -kes the names should all be in Unix format, and if
+ there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
+ FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
+ restorable.
+kes Remove lib/regex.c (replaced by bregex.c).
+kes Delete src/win32/License.txt
+kes Modify installer to install LICENSE
+26Apr06
+kes Fix bug in build-win32-cross-tools script reported by Howard
+kes Implement cross compiled bconsole
+25Apr06
+kes Fix barcode test, eliminate BOOL (doesn't exist on Linux).
+kes Write first cut of README.mingw32
+kes Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
+kes Integrate the majority of the Mingw cross-tools submission
+ made by Howard Thomson. Everything compiles, with zlib, openssl,
+ and VSS turned off. Linking needs a pthreads library ...
+23Apr06
+kes Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.

+kes Update job start time after the any run before job so that
+ files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
+ bug #599.
+kes Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
+ the restore command when reading a file. This permits
+ the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
+ bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
+kes Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
+ command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
+ the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
+ was suggested by the user.
+kes Implement a compatible version of base64. This permits external
+ programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
+ routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
+ author of bug #565.
+ ================= Note ========================
+ Previous Signatures stored in the database are no longer
+ compatible with this. The main downside is for Verify jobs,
+ and doing an InitCatalog run will fix the problem. Also, the
+ authentication between the deamons is changed, so all daemons
+ must be simultaneously upgraded.
+ ==============================================
+ If you don't like this fix, set:
+ const bool compatible = true;
+ to
+ const bool compatible = false;
+ in src/lib/base64.c
+20Apr06

+ kes Allow multiple connections to database with different
+ parameters.
+ kes Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
+ fault, but still 60 second window.

+ Python regexp program.
+kes Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
+11Apr06

-- Add Python to SD and FD.
-12Mar05
-- Implement IBM labels
-- Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
-- Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
- passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
- 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.
+14Mar06
+kes Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private.
+kes Create lock/unlock methods for jcr.
+kes Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading

+kes Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
+kes Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
+ terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
+ SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
+ mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
+ use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
+kes Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
+ lib/jcr.c -kes prevents locking the jcr chaing.
+kes Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with
+ multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list.
+kes Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique.
+kes More details in implementing David's migration syntax proposal.
+kes Save and restore dcr when swapping drives so that if we have
+ a write dcr it is not lost.
+kes Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations
+ system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c.
+ This could possibly fix bug #543.
+kes Stop SD command loop if job is canceled.

- to be the same.
-06Mar05
-- Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
- cloning a job as many times as you want.

-16Feb05
-- Make another attempt at fixing the ClientRunXXX return code
- bug on Win32 machines.
-- Apply ua_status patch from Carsten Paeth <calle@calle.in-berlin.de>
- which enforces console ACLs in the status command for Jobs.
-15Feb05
-- Fix Media LabelDate and FirstWritten to be correctly set.
-- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
-- Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
-10Feb05
-- Ensure that correct error messages are returned when
- reading an ANSI label.
-09Feb05
-- Modified ANSI label code to preserve any ANSI label
- already found by skipping over it rather than rewriting
- it.
-- Split the ANSI label code into ansi_label.c
-- Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
-- Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
- in a bug report.
-- Added some new dev methods. Most notably was
- set_eof(), which handles setting all the dev variables
- when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
- in the code.
-07Feb05
-- Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the
- tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the
- user has the option of restoring everything.
-- More progress in implementing 64 bit DB Ids.
-- Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
-- Implement update scripts for all database types.
-- First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not
- recurse).
-04Feb05
-- OK, I think ANSI labels work.
-- Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
- If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
- label type.
-- Added Check Labels = yes|no to Device resource in SD. If this
- is set, Bacula will check for ANSI labels and accept them,
- otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
- is first mounted.
-02Feb05
-- Second cut ANSI labels.
-01Feb05
-- Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.
-- Some doc updates.
-- Display more informative message when a device was not
- found or could not be opened.
-- Add the sqlite3 database scripts.
-- Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
- a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
- to be documented).
-- Some minor doc updates.
-- Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
-29Jan05 -- after vacation
-- Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
- of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
- to get SQLite3.
-- Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
-- Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
- boot correctly.
-- Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
- This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
- Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
- changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
- to 6 characters.
-- Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
- upgrade script yet.
-- Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
-- Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in
- Dir conf file.
-- Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
- info from SD on startup.
-- Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
-- Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
- still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
- a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
- simultaneously.
-- Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
-- Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
- when the FD connects to the SD.
-- Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
- methods -- more to come.
-- Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
- class methods -- more to come.
-- I had serious problems with ACL errors on my Laptop, and so had
- to add the following patch:
- @@ -181,7 +181,7 @@
- }
- /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
- and acl_to_text? *****/
- - return -1;
- + return 0;
- }
-- Added edit_int64()
-- Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
-- Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
- lots of testing!!!!
-- Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
- of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
-- Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.

- One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
-01Jan05
-- Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
-- Fix some typos in the previous commit.

+ 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
+kes 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.
+kes During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
+ StorageId is zero (old Media records).
+Beta release 1.38.4:

+kes Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
+ drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
+ Arno's changer bug.
+07Jan06
+kes Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
+06Jan06
+kes 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.
+kes 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.
- Technical notes on version 1.37
- Nicolas Boichat
-General:
+Changes to 1.39.3:
+04Jan06
+kes Start implementing Verify list output.
+kes Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
+ premature termination of the reservation if all drives
+ are busy -kes should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
+26Dec05
+kes Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
+22Dec05
+kes Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
+ volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
+ code.
+kes Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
+kes Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
+ it is not an autochanger.
+kes 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.
+kes 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.
+kes Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
+kes Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
+kes Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
+ code. This should fix bug #500.
+21Dec05
+kes Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
+kes Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
+ of the mode.
+kes If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
+ You have messages.
+kes Delete old bnet packet code.
+kes Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
+ wx-console. -kes not implemented because bconsole must be updated.
+kes Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
+ only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
+ #514.
+kes Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
+ reported by Wolfgang Denk
+kes Pull in latest reservation system changes from 1.38
+kes Make .messages command always print messages regardless
+ of the automessages flag.
+17Dec05

+kes Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
+kes Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
+ and always open nonblocking.
+kes Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
+kes Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
+kes Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
+ message.
+kes With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
+13Dec05

+kes When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
+kes Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
+kes Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
