+2003-06-04 Version 1.31 Beta 04Jun03
+- Fix block.c to check errno only in case of return status -1 as
+ suggested by Justin Gibbs (FreeBSD).
+- Implemented qfill command in btape for quick testing write/read of a tape.
+- Discovered that FreeBSD pthreads re-use the same thread id, which causes
+ the SD to fail when a user leaves a device unmounted (old pid is reused
+ and lock_device() thinks the same thread is calling again leading to
+ inconsistent state). Set id to zero after blocking the device during
+ unmount.
+- A lot of clean up, moving subroutines around for TermCode.
+- Free ua->prompt when Job terminates.
+- Add AutoPrune and Recycle to values copied from Pool resource
+ into Pool record on create/updated.
+- Implemented bsr for Verify VolumeToCatalog.
+- Improved the Verify Job report using SD and FD term codes.
+- Split tree handling routines from ua_restore.c to ua_tree.c
+- Split bsr routines from ua_restore.c to bsr.c and bsr.h
+- Fixed clash between FD and SD returned job values. Report now contains
+ values from FD. Maybe I should change? or give both.
+- Attempt to fix negative use_count for dev packet in SD by adding
+ a couple of open_dev(). This may be cause of Dan's crash.
+- Clear no_wait_id when device is unblocked. This may be cause of Dan's crash.
+- Eliminate old "new lock code".
+- Add configure of mtx-changer for mtx path.
+- Always rewind tape before releasing it (for FreeBSD).
+- StartBlock was one too large for second volume.
+- Fixed restore to display status from both SD and FD.
+- Unified return status message for backup and restore.
+- Corrected segmentation fault reported by Dan when doing "label barcodes"
+ on a File.
+- Corrected a segmentation fault when attempting to send a JobMedia record
+ to the Console -- reported by Dan.
+- Added MySQL documentation for using the threaded libraries.
+- Added new columns and tables to Catalog database.
+- Wrote alter scripts and tested them (thanks to Dan for the help) on
+ MySQL and SQLite.
+- Started using enums where ever possible when passing flags to
+ subroutines. This helps make the source much more readable.
+- Corrected a bug where a vertical database listing was being used in
+ the query command.
+- Added new argument to parse_args() to prevent command arg overflow.
+- Renamed ua_db_query.c ua_query.c.
+- Split scan.c out of lib/util.c
+- Perhaps I have *finally* fixed the command line history in gnome-console.
+- Added support for smartalloc for any global new or delete command
+ by overloading the global operators.
+- Made the default time with no qualifier day rather than seconds.
+- Fixed a bug in the store_size() routine that improperly converted from
+ double to uint32_t.
+- Started using "bool" where possible.
+- Zap SD session key once it is used.
+- Added *lots* more checking for strcpy -- bstrncpy(), ...
+- Added CreateTime field to FileSet record and print it to distinguish
+ FileSets.
+- Print an information message when a new FileSet is created.
+- Include the FileSet date/time in the Job report.
+- Indicate if a Job is upgraded in the Job report and from what previous level.
+- Incremented the database version.
+- Ensure that any DB error message is printed if the start_time of a previous
+ save is not found.
+- Free orphaned buffer in ua_restore.c in case of database error.
+- Implement enum for response DISPLAY_ERROR and NO_DISPLAY
+- Implement enum for create_pool (POOL_OP_CREATE, POOL_OP_UPDATE).
+- Make sure FileSets printed in restore are in order.
+- Add a number of bstrncat, and other protected string operations.
+- Clean up old structs in dird_conf.h
+- Remove all Slot invalidation code.
+- Add Automatic choice message to all do_prompt() calls.
+- Eliminate JobId from restore if not used.
+- Clean up a few error messages.
+- Make fill/unfill commands work correctly in btape.
+- Enhance btape fill and unfill commands.
+- Implement real Pmsg() code so that negative levels work in Dmsg()
+- Implement block number check -- had to turn it off because it doesn't
+ work. Need to verify that it is the correct block and that block
+ numbers are properly written.
+- Moved readline from depkgs1 to depkgs.
+- Reworked the configure code to handle readline correctly. This was broken
+ mostly due to the fact that the readline routines are nested down one
+ directory. Also, I missed one header file that was needed (possibly added
+ in a later version).
+- Put correct include on the dependencies make for Console readline.
+- Remove JobMediaId from VOL_PARAMS (no longer needed).
+- Sort VOL_PARAMS by JobMediaId using SQL in cats.
+- Add jcr as argument to block.c read_block... routines so that error
+ messages are immediately displayed.
+- Make bsr_dev() edit an error message if it is turned off and return 0.
+- Add checking for the BlockNumber in the read routines -- lots of
+ false matches are found -- much check writing end.
+- Now sort bsr volumes by JobMediaId -- produces better results.
+- It turns out that under certain circumstances, when doing a restore, the
+ Volumes will not be written to the BSR in the correct order. I don't
+ know exactly why, but many thanks to Dan Langille for reporting this.
+ The solution is to sort the Vol_Params within each bsr (done), and to
+ sort the bsr chain (not yet implemented). Note, the bsr chain should
+ always be in order unless the user explicitly specifies the JobIds in
+ a different order.
+- Began implementing C++ structs rather than typedef structs as in C.
+- Added volatile to a lot of variables that are used in two threads at
+ the same time. This should prevent improper optimization.
+- Fixed a missing space in the "run job=xxx where=" the where was
+ glued to the end of the previous stuff (bootstrap filename).
+- I *finally* found the cause of the mysterious failure of shell expansion.
+ It was due to the read() getting interrupted! That's what opening up
+ SIGCHLD will do!
+- Remove unused default tape drive names.
+- Create a new status.c file in stored and split the status code out of dircmd.c
+
+2003-05-22 Version 1.31 Beta 22May03
+- I discovered that C++ permits "prototyping" structures e.g. struct A; is
+ a valid statement. This permitted me to eliminate all the void *jcr, in
+ favor of JCR *jcr, which pointed out a number of bugs in block.c.
+- Change lib/bmisc.c to bsys.c (system routines).
+- Add set_working_directory() to lib/util.c
+- Remove some unneeded setjcr_job_status() since Jmsg(jcr, M_FATAL,...)
+ already sets it.
+- Do not increment jcr->Errors for Fatal errors -- they represent non-fatal
+ errors.
+- Fix a few more places in FD where Errors was not incremented.
+- Print unexpected (or incorrect) termination message returned from FD.
+- Use switch() instead of giant if statement in verify_vol.c
+- Protect overrun from do_shell_expansion() by passing max length.
+
+2003-05-20 Version 1.31 Beta 20May03
+- Add mandrake to platforms
+- Suppress error messages if no bytes written to tape.

+- Pretty much finish off the Win32 backup code.
+- Add DESTDIR code to autostart for creating non-root rpms
+- Echo input read from a script in Console.
+- Clarify error message for VerifyToCatalog
+- Add error counts in restore for M_NOTSAVED.
+- Adapt bfile.c to handle both Win95 files as well as WinXP files.
+- Add MTIOCERRSTAT for FreeBSD (clear error status).
+- Correct double jobmedia record when cancel at EOM reported by Phil.
+- Correct possible write at beginning of tape during cancel at EOM
+ as reported by Phil.
+- Document in detail how Incremental and Differential jobs work.
+- Add non-fatal error count on backup and restore Job reports.
+- Remove a couple uses of lld -- now prefer to edit and use %s.
+- Fix directory could not be accessed on Win32.
+- Improve message indicating that last Full backup not found.
+- Fix free() too early in directory traversal code.
+- Prune Jobs with no JobFiles or that have JobStatus!='T'
+- Add a few more command line scans for prune/purge.
+- Restrict valid characters in a Volume name, and document it.
+- Make new Win32 save/restore work. Still a bit more to do.
+- Use reentrant version of mysqlclient library.
+- Use more machine independent way of finding gcc version.
+- Fix race condition in sql_list where messages edited before locking.
+- Lots of testing saving/restoring 6GB files.
+- Add where to restore where=/tmp
+- Complete implementation of Win32 streams in FD. Must test. Also,
+ must implement new streams in SD.
+- Make termination of daemons more "error" tolerant.
+- Make default "duration" days rather than seconds if there is no modifier.
+- Install bcopy.
+- Add detection of available Win API's so that a single binary will
+ work on all Windows systems. Reference those APIs through a pointer.
+- Remove use_win_backup_api and enable it in bfile.c if system supports it.
+- Modify dev.c so that it works if MTEOM is not defined (BSDI).
+- Change MT_xxx to BMT_xxx to prevent conflicts with BSDI.

+- Implement replacement for strtoll() for BSDI.
+- Add platform files for BSDI.
+- Use Jmsg() instead of Jmsg1() in acquire because File:line prefixed in dev.c
+- Use Jmsg() in write_block_to_dev() so that no messages are lost.
+- Rework autochanger code in restore to handle case of cassette not in magazine.
+- Implement Windows BackupRead/Write(). I now have permissions right!!!!
+- Additions to the manual (Purging, Autopruning).
+- Add doc to code in autoprune.
+- Begin adding Level = Base.
+- Make Jmsg recognize console and direct messages directly back to it.
+- Hopefully fix mess in mount.c when a tape expires.
+- Fix restore bug recently introduced due to Unix backwards status convention.
+- New bacula.spec from Scott
+- Add globals for database name and version and print them in traceback.
+- Eliminate SubSysDirectory in each daemon conf file.
+- Implement get_yesno() and get_pint() in UA.
+- Make Jmsg aware of console. Messages now sent directly to Console.
+- Created a single bacula.spec.in for by the MySQL and SQLite builds.
+- Added proper configuration to console.in and gconsole.in
+- Start adding textdomain() code for translating.
+- A number of minor code cleanups.
+- Rework shell expansion just a bit.
+- Add rewind() when releasing a tape before acquiring the next one.
+- Implement addition of Description in Service entry for Win32.
+- Update manual to eliminate unclear autochanger points as mentioned
+ by Dan Langille.
+- Implement DESTDIR everywhere.
+- Rework spec files for 1.31 and combine the main spec and the client
+ only spec making a client package. At the same time, rename the packages
+ so it is a bit clearer to the user. Also fix the build to work
+ as non-root (scriptdir was not prefixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+- Correct Auto Changers and all other forms to Autochangers in the
+ manual.
+- John reported needing to do two "mount" requests, and indeed that
+ was the case. It turns out that pthread_cond_timedwait() does not
+ always return zero when awaken by a pthread_cond_signal().
+- Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in job output report.
+- Implement a "real" Admin job that prints a mini-job report.
+- Clean up a few error messages in findlib and filed.
+- Recent changes to gnome-console caused initial output to be
+ lost -- now fixed.
+- The Win32 version crashed after each job. After hours, it turns out
+ that when running with LocalSystem privilege (and not as a user), when
+ Cygwin does pthread_kill(id, SIGUSR2), it gets a memory fault.
+- Moved stored/fdmsg.c to lib/bget_msg.c, and moved SD messages to
+ stored.c. So now bget_msg() can be used by both the SD and FD.
+- Changed Director's bget_msg() to be called bget_dirmsg() to avoid
+ any possible confusion.
+- Implemented bget_msg() in general everywhere in the FD except for
+ job.c where the Dir and FD are communicating.
+- Implemented a Director only heartbeat in the FD for the cases where
+ there is either no connection to the SD or the FD is already reading
+ from the SD. start_dir_heartbeat() ...
+- Add heartbeat to restore and verify volume.
+- Add "Heartbeat Interval" to Storage resource, which sets interval the
+ SD sends heartbeats to the FD and DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
+- Add "Heartbeat Interval" to FileDaemon resource, which sets the interval
+ the FD sends heartbeats to the DIR, 0 disables heartbeats.
+- Added heartbeat from FD to Dir every HB_TIME rather than forwarding
+ SD heartbeats.
+- First cut label dialog.
+- Turn on new semaphore code for simultaneous Jobs.
+- Fix cancel trying to release semaphore's not acquired.
+- Implement get_pint() and get_yesno() for UA.
+- Implement find_arg_with_value() for UA.
+- All command line "slot" to be specified for label command.
+- Rework heartbeat code in FD to correctly terminate.
+- Fix btraceback to use smtp and to eliminate double //
+- Fix "storage" command to include ssl for verify and restores.
+- Add Heartbeat code when SD is waiting on a tape -- heartbeat every 20 mins
+ to keep stateful firewalls from timing out the connections.
+- Fix src/stored/Makefile.in typo causing problems in statically linking
+ btape. Thanks to Lutz for reporting this.
+- Create an is_client_alive script for checking if a client is alive.
+ Using this script prevents generating error messages.
+- Added corrections and updates to manual provided by Phil -- thanks.
+- Added RequireSSL to each program/daemon configuration.
+- Added EnableSSL to each correspondent for each program.
+- Added the Console resource to the Director (need to
+ implement individual Console authorization).
+
+2003-04-28 Version 1.30 released
+- Fix command history for gnome-console (must malloc).
+- Add two cancel points in acquire_resources(). The job will not
+ be immediately terminated in all cases.
+- The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
+- Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
+- Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
+- Add -v to daemon startup scripts
+- Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
+- Implement When for "run" command.
+- Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
+ with older systems.
+- Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
+ do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
+- Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
+ wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
+- Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
+- Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
+- Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
+- Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
+ work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
+- Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
+- Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
+ restore errors.
+- Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
+ in the console rather than in the Director.
+ input - read input from a file
+ output - write output to file
+ tee - tee output to file and terminal
+ time - print current time
+ version - print current version
+ exit - quit
+ quit - quit
+- Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
+ Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
+- By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
+ not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
+ cp does.
+- Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
+- Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
+- Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
+ the link!
+- OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
+ I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
+ Volume names! Arrrggggg!
+- Lots of documentation of new features.
+- Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
+ and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
+- Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
+- Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
+- Implement default File output in config files so user can start
+ saving right away without a tape drive.
+- Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
+- Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
+- Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
+ are implemented in the Director.
+- Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
+ against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
+ This includes files moved or copied.
+ Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
+- On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
+ and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
+ unusable directory names containing both conventions.
+- Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
+- Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
+- label barcodes now works.
+- Implemented "update slots".
+- Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
+- Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
+- Update alter_mysql_tables.in
+- More work on barcodes.
+- Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
+ there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
+- First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
+ anything but return the list to the Director.
+- Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
+- Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
+- Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
+- Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
+- Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
+- Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
+ instead of horizontally.
+- Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
+- Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
+- Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
+- Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
+- Lots of new documentation.
+- Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
+- Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
+- Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
+- Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
+- Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
+- Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
+- Update client every time a job is run.
+- Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
+- Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
+- Release new depkgs
+- Release new winbacula.
+- Add Uname info to Client DB record.
+- Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
+ Device is requested.
+- Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
+ are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
+ dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
+ Windows DOS box.
+- Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
+- Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
+- Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
+- Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
+- Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
+ There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
+ the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
+ looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
+ leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
+ to be able to append.
+- Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
+ at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
+- Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
+ it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
+ detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
+ finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
+- Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
+- Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
+ certain autochangers.
+- Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
+- Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
+ warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
+- Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
+- Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
+ Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
+- Update manual.
+- Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
+ 3 nightmares.
+- Final cygwin tweaks.
+- Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
+- Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
+ did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
+ dealing with bad input.
+- Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
+ before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
+- Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
+- Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
+ of signal and counting the waiters.
+- Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
+- #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
+- Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
+- Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
+ Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
+ Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
+ to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
+- Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
+ variables during recycling.
+- Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
+ VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
+- When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
+ database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
+- Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
+ for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
+ hostname to ip).
+- Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
+- Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
+ "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
+- List Pool record after doing "update pool".
+- Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
+- Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
+- Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
+- Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
+ callers want a new Volume name.
+- Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
+- Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
+- Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
+ capacity execed.
+- Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
+ from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
+ testing this.
+- Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
+ This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
+ written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
+ have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
+ for *.c, ...
+- Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
+- Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
+ client not available.
+- Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
+ caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
+ string for example.
+- Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
+- Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
+- Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
+- Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
+- Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
+ (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
+ to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
+ the database.
+- Back out the __SVR4 changes.
+- Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
+- Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
+ open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
+ fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
+- Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
+- Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
+- Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
+ for the patch.
+- Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
+ have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
+ to FD.
+- Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
+- Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
+ now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
+- WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
+ remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
+- Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
+- Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
+- Second cut of FileOptions.
+- First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
+- Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
+- Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
+ I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
+- Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
+- Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
+- Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
+ use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
+- When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
+ fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
+ terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
+- Added first cut support for Darwin.
+- Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
+- Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
+ creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
+- Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
+- Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
+- Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
+- Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
+- Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
+- All changing Pool in console run command.
+- Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
+ return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
+- Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
+- Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
+- Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
+- Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
+- Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
+ from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
+- Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
+- Edit space before each line in gconsole.
+- Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
+- Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
+- Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
+- Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
+- Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
+- Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
+- Use unmask of 022 or more restive
+- Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
+- Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
+- Document SHA1.
+- Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
+- Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
+- Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
+- Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
+- Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
+
+=============================================================================
+2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
+23Jan03
+- Tightened up permissions on all .conf files to be 640 so they are not
+ world readable.
+22Jan03
+- Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
+ prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
+ FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
+- Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
+- Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
+- Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
+ but at least dumps will work).
+20Jan03
+- Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
+- Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
+- Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
+- Added pthread btimer routines.
+- Added timer to FIFO open statement
+- George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
+ On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
+ mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
+18Jan03
+- Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
+ previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
+ properly.
+- Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
+ makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
+- Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
+ difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
+ Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
+ that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
+ label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
+ to the device.
+- Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
+ add empty buffer flag).
+17Jan03
+- Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
+- Zap SD authorization code after use.
+- Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
+- Doc
+16Jan03
+- Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
+ every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
+ db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
+ exactly the same structure.
+- More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
+- Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
+ of cleanup in message.c
+- Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
+ vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
+- Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
+ order will be correct.
+- Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
+ a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
+ Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
+- My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
+ under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
+ message.c where I was extending the message string by two
+ characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
+- Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
+ in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
+- Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
+ to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
+- Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
+ after the current time -- slow process ...
+15Jan03
+- Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
+- Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
+ but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
+ on later.
+- Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
+- My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
+ hardware problems because running by hand or under the
+ debugger always works -- we will see.
+- Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
+ a bit dangerous.
+- Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
+14Jan03
+- Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
+- Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
+- Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
+- Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
+- My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
+ I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
+ jobs finished correctly.
+- In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
+ were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
+ code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
+ print the full path name.
+- I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
+ a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
+ duplicate filenames or paths.
+13Jan03
+- During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
+ detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
+ fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
+ are now.
+- Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
+ of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
+- It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
+ mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
+ of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
+ now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
+12Jan03
+- George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
+ that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
+ FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
+ are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
+- Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
+ Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
+ Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
+ to commit.
+10Jan03
+- Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
+ in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
+ a length.
+- Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
+ realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
+ by James MacLean.
+09Jan03
+- Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
+ Scott Medlock for reporting this.
+- Made | and < work.
+- Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
+ the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
+ readfifo=yes
+08Jan03
+- Started implementing | and < on Include names.
+- Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by Andrew Kokarev.
+
+=============================================================================
+2003-01-05 Version 1.28b released
+- Corrected a typo of working_directory in bacula-dir.conf
+ reported by James MacLean.
+- Fixed the fact that path and filenames in some cases were not
+ being quoted before going into the database. Many thanks to
+ James MacLean for reporting this.
+
+=============================================================================
+2003-01-05 Version 1.28a released
+- Corrected a missing quote in bacula-dir.conf reported by James MacLean
+
+=============================================================================
+2003-01-05 Version 1.28 released
+General:
+- Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
+- Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
+ it as the development goes on.
+- Wrote a general purpose bi-directional pipe command. This replaces
+ previous use of pipes as well as the run_program previously used.
+- Make BSRs stop if no more matches are possible.
+- Allow unliminted number of devices in Storage daemon.
+- Allow connections to Storage daemon before all devices are initialized.
+- Better documentation (and btape test command) on using fixed block
+ tape drivers.
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+04Jan03
+- Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
+03Jan03
+- Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
+ deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
+ to use it is in the <bacula-src/src/dird/bacula-dir.conf file.
+- Made a nicer column oriented listing of scheduled jobs for "status dir".
+02Jan03
+- Added backup/restore of raw partitions.
+- Corrected restoration of files in root directory (problem with
+ splitting path from file).
+01Jan03
+- Finally decided to cleanup handling of splitting path and filenames
+ in the cats directory. Now the code is in one place sql.c and it
+ is done using Pool memory, so there are no length restrictions.
+31Dec02
+- Add start of Solaris bare metal recovery
+- Add Site Visit usage statistics to Web page
+- Got Bacula listed on www.backupcentral.com
+30Dec02
+- Retest bare metal recovery on Linux 2 times with verify
+- Cleanup printout of verify differences using proper casting to
+ handle shorts and long longs.
+29Dec02
+- Added --enable-client-only to ./configure
+- Modified --enable-static-sd to work better and documented it.
+- Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
+- Moved the stored.c Resource lock into the allocation thread so
+ that the same thread sets/clears it. This created a problem on
+ FreeBSD.
+28Dec02
+- Added more rescue documentation.
+- Did a spell check of the Bacula doc.
+- Modified bscan to use the working directory as specified in the
+ configuration file as the default.
+25Dec02
+- Fixed an important bug reported by George Motter that caused only
+ the last option on an Include record to be used (all previous options
+ were lost).
+24Dec02
+- Chase down some inconsistencies in creating Media records from
+ the Pool defaults, and in updating/creating the Pool from the
+ resource. Also fixed the cats DB routines to include all
+ fileds (VolUseDuration was missing for example).
+21Dec02
+- Added building static versions of daemon static-bacula-dir, ...
+- Fine tuned the rescue (bare metal) code including support for grub.
+- Added skeleton freebsd rescue
+- Corrected SQL syntax error in autoprune code (JobType => Type).
+- Added error messages for SQL errors in autopruning.
+19Dec02
+- Documented Bare Metal Recovery
+- Create new "rescue" directory containg the Bare Metal Recovery code.
+- Fiddle with SQL a bit for pruning as apparently the last InitCatalog
+ was pruned after the expiration date eventhough it was the ONLY copy!
+ I'm not sure this is fixed yet.
+18Dec02
+- Allow Director to pass a NUL where string to FD (fix in FD).
+- Fix installation mv of query.sql.
+- Make sure btraceback.gdb is not wiped on "make distclean"
+- Corrected a bug in mod of replace options pointed out by Dave Anderson.
+16Dec02
+- Started adding FileOptions ...
+- Fixed and incorrect print out of the number of files restored (Jarif).
+- Finally fixed EndBlock (and file address for Files) in catalog!
+- Added hostname to tape header as always planned.
+- Removed Level code (will not implement unless strong demand exists).
+- Tweaked bscan to print number of errors ignored before first SOS.
+- Enhanced btape "fill" to permit using one tape and to dump last
+ block before writing and upon read back.
+- Make fsf_dev() return 0 on fail and 1 on success.
+- Use new db_get_job_volume_parameters() to enhance Write Bootstrap to
+ contain more info (start/end file/block, file indexes).
+- Added --enable-static-fd, sd, and dir to configuration to enable making
+ static versions of the daemons.
+13Dec02
+- The btape test program was indicating errors on Adrian's machine
+ using the ATAPI (ide-scsi) tape drive. It turns out that this
+ is a fixed block driver as a consequence, Bacula must be setup
+ to write fixed blocks. btape was not always using the fixed
+ blocks defined in the Bacula config, so that has been updated.
+ It now works fine. A lot of tips added to the Bacula test command
+ to help guide the user.
+- Documentation of the above significantly improved in the manual.
+12Dec02
+- Added code in watchdog to permit setting and clearing child timers. If
+ the timer expires, the child process is killed.
+- Modified restore to handle differential jobs.
+- Added a new test to the btape "test" command
+09Dec02
+- More documentation of new features (week position in scheduler, bsr).
+- Re-read last block written on full tape to verify it.
+- Fix segmentation fault with btape fill command due to missing FileSet MD5.
+07Dec02
+- Created better SQL input editing routines str_to_int64 and str_to_uint64()
+- Pull Client from database in Console restore command.
+- Create a Unique list of Volumes to be mounted (previously had repeats).
+- Made many of the SQL searches better by using the ClientId rather than the name
+ in the restore Console command.
+- Modified reading of a tape to include the VolFile info. Once the
+ tape is past the specified file, reading stops. The BSR now includes
+ both the VolFile and VolBlock. Currently VolBlock is not used.
+- Handle multiple volumes better by creating a real volume list with all
+ parameters in it.
+- Display "At prompt waiting for input" in gnome console when at subcommand
+ prompt.
+- Broke ascii to internal and internal to string editing routines out into
+ new lib/edit.c file.
+02Dec02
+- Added a readme and an afs-bacula script to the examples directory
+ that permits Bacula to backup an AFS filesystem. Thanks to
+ Lucas Mingarro for the submission.
+- Added A Sun-desktop autoloader script and Device definition to the
+ examples/devices subdirectory. Thanks to Lucas Mingarro for the
+ submission.
+- If the WriteBootStrap fails, the job will now be marked in error.
+- Added a week position to the scheduler syntax that allows you to
+ specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 4th, or first, ... fifth as a week
+ position specification in front of a day. So if you say
+
+ 1st sun ...
+
+ the scheduler will start only on the first sunday of the month. The
+ day specification can also be a day range e.g. sun-fri.
+ This code is untested.
+- Implemented bpipe.h and bpipe.c in src/lib, which defines a bi-directional
+ pipe. This allows executing other programs and sending them information
+ as well as getting info from them.
+- Replaced the previous pipe usage with bpipes in RunBeforeJob and
+ RunAfterJob.
+- The mail program now uses bpipes rather than pipes, which means that any
+ error output will appear in the job output (truly bi-directional).
+- Modified BSR to handle counts and to stop when no more matches are possible.
+ This is untested.
+- Improved error messages in smtp.
+
+=============================================================================
+2002-12-12 Version 1.27d
+- This is a minor update that fixes a segmentation fault in btape
+ as well as reduces non-important error messages in bscan.
+
+2002-11-29 Version 1.27c
+- Yet another silly error duplicating a column name in the SQLite
+ make tables. No code change, just a make file.
+
+2002-11-29 Version 1.27b
+- Set DB version to 5 in DB make files.
+
+2002-11-28 Version 1.27a
+- Use g++ instead of gcc for testfind in tools
+
+2002-11-27 Version 1.27 (26Nov02) released 28 November 2002
+
+General: from kes25Nov02
+- Mostly Cygwin changes
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+- Updated bdb_find.c to have new calling sequence for db_find_job_start_time
+- dird/catreq.c edit in Volume name in error messages to SD
+- attribs.c switch to using the cygwin API to convert from POSIX paths
+ to Win32 paths. This now permits Win32 path specifications in Include
+ statements (all combinations not yet tested). It also avoids the large
+ number of errors seen by Lutz if a Win32 path is specified in the Dir.
+- Update testfind help and remove set_attribsEx debug code.
+- Build testfind as default.
+- Turn off debug message in stored/askdir.c
+
+General: from kes21Nov02
+- Another change in the database. You MUST either re-initialize
+ your database or use the appropriate ./alter_xxx_tables in
+ the src/cats directory.
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+- Additional documentation.
+- Added MaxVolFiles to the database (not yet implemented in code).
+- Increased the database version from 3 to 4.
+- Change VolMaxBytes to MaxVolBytes, which is much more descriptive.
+- Compressed unnecessary spaces out of a lot of SQL statements.
+- Changed many %d to %u where unsigned integers are used.
+- Added the Bacula version and build date to each backup output.
+ This will help knowing what version of Bacula was used.
+- Implemented VolUseDuration MaxVolBytes, MaxVolFiles, and MaxVolJobs
+ based on maximums set in the Volume (Media) record rather than in the
+ resource. This means the values can be individually set on a Volume basis.
+- Allow commas separating Include options (this was a subtle bug).
+- Added maximum string length argments to a number of subroutines to
+ prevent buffer overflows. Most notably was do_prompt().
+- Replaced MANY occurrences of strcpy() with bstrncpy(), which guarantees
+ both that the length is not exceeded and that the string is properly terminated.
+ This has a risk of a certain destabilization -- as does the changes to
+ the SQL noted above.
+- In cram-md5 routine use my_name if gethostname() returns an error.
+- Increase timeout from 2 minutes to 3 minutes in authorization code.
+- Check the full string including \n in authorization.
+- Throw away any response longer than MAXSTRING.
+- Added a number of additional error checks on subroutine return statuses.
+- Replaced as many lld's with edit_uint64 as I could find.
+22Nov02:
+- Added MaxVolBytes to Pool record - had forgotten it. Updated DB version.
+23Nov02
+- Update manual to document new Pool/Volume attributes
+- Correct make_sqlite_tables (typo, plus missing value in Pool)
+- Fix bizarre behavior in gnome-console and console when auth fails.
+- Add Pool attribute query
+- Add a few more error messages in askdir.c
+- More strcpy() conversions to bstrncpy().
+
+General: from kes18Nov02
+- Did a number of cleanups of string copying to limit the length
+ and prevent buffer overflows.
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+- Added a mutex arount the gethostbyname() so that multiple simultaneous
+ jobs get the correct address.
+- Added the MaxVolJobs to the Media alter tables script for MySQL (forgot it).
+- Changed arg to db_find_job_start_time to be POOLMEM for returning the string.
+- Add the new VolUseDuration and MaxVolJobs to all the db_ routines.
+- Use bstrncpy() in most places in the db_ routines to prevent a bad
+ database from crashing Bacula (self protection).
+
+General: from kes13Nov02
+- You MUST either re-initialize your databases or use the
+ ./alter_mysql_tables
+ or
+ ./alter_sqlite_tables
+ in the <bacula-src>/src/cats directory to modify your database tables.
+- Major improvements to dbcheck including an interactive mode.
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+- Implemented VolumeUseDuration and MaximumVolumeJobs which control
+ when a tape can be marked Used.
+- New tape status "Used" means it was used and cannot be used any more.
+- Defined utime_t which is 64 bit epoch time in seconds. btime_t is
+ 64 bit epoch time in microseconds.
+- Created alter_xxx_tables to add new columns (VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs) to
+ database. Incremented db version.
+- Changed a few subroutine names concerning dates to be more descriptive.
+- Fixed several places where the last filename was not stored in JCR in
+ FD verify_vol.c and restore.c
+- Major update to dbcheck. Unfortunately I used subselects, which work
+ perfectly fine in SQLite, but not at all in MySQL. I must now rework
+ it for MySQL. What a pain!
+- Removed "Database found" from configure output. It was no longer used or valid.
+- Corrected doc --working-dir => --with-working-dir Thanks to Tuck for
+ reporting this.
+- Added the database name to the error message for mismatched DB version.
+- Commented out GMP and CWEB from configure as they are not currently used.
+
+General: from kes09Nov02
+- Converted the manual over to a new format written in wml. This
+ gives navigation buttons on the top and bottom of each page
+ as well as a standard page size.
+- Updated the main Web site, providing a menu bar to the left
+ and much better organization and presentation of the information.
+- Added code to recognize a Volume written with a larger block
+ size than specified. The code automatically adjusts.
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+- Created a new scripts directory and moved most of the scripts
+ previously in the main directory there. This cleans things up
+ quite a bit.
+- Moved the randpass stuff into autoconf.
+- ensure that the generic make_bacula_tables and drop_bacula_tables
+ are installed.
+- Added code to filed to allow it to be run from inetd. Just add the
+ -i option. I have not tested it.
+
+General: from kes30Oct02
+- Alex found a problem with GZIP compression -- fixed.
+- bacula stript fixes.
+- Segment fault in Director fixed.
+- Added openbsd to platforms
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+- GZIP compression was broken for large files due to a variable that
+ is changed during the compression. This was relatively easy to fix.
+ However, there were a number of fixes required to make GZIP and SPARSE
+ files work together. Found one more place in bextract where SPARSE_GZIP
+ testing was missing.
+- During testing of the above, I ran into the restore problem of multiple
+ FileSet records. Fixed by including the FileSetId and the MD5 on the
+ selection string, then always using the FileSetId. It is a bit
+ confusing for the user, but ...
+- Francis found a problem with bacula.in (fixed - thanks)
+- I found another problem with bacula.in, so now it REALLY should work
+ on most systems.
+- Added the Replace options code for restores. Not tested.
+- Fixed an ugly stack overrun bug in reading the config file
+ that has been in for a long time. I found this in testing on FreeBSD
+ where the Director seg faulted.
+
+General: from kes29Oct02
+- Major change to the bnet communications routines.
+
+Changes submitted this submission:
+- Modified the bacula script to use pid files, so this script should
+ now work on more platforms. Updated devel_bacula as well.
+- Added the full GNU hostname on the configuration print output.
+- Added gettimeofday() to configure, and tweaked a few variables for
+ OpenBSD.
+- Added a chapter to the manual on Porting Bacula to other platforms.
+- Documented in Tips how to use the WriteBootstrap record.
+- Modified bc_types.h to error if 64 bit types are not found.
+- Pass replace option for restore to the FD (no code to use it yet).
+- Modify the FD to pass back the GNU OS string as well as the DISTNAME
+ and DISTVER. This needs to be put in the Client record in the catalog.
+- Major reworking of the bnet routines to eliminate the zero length which
+ previously indicated a signal. This risks to create some subtle communications
+ bugs. The changes now permit blank lines to be sent from the user to the
+ Director.
+- Found and corrected a few more places where the Win32 attributes were not
+ being recognized.
+- Permit spaces in the Where string (restore) by bashing/unbashing them.
+- Handle quotes correctly in the Console program (actually Dir ua code).
+ Previously they were not handled in the middle of a string.
+- Corrected two error message (error reading file), which previously stated
+ it was a network error.
+- Reworked the files in the binary Windows release. Removed unused programs
+ and added a README with the copyright as suggested by John. Also added
+ console.exe to the release.
+- Found and corrected an autoloader mount problem where the wrong tape
+ was specified. Previously it looped, then gave up. Now it correctly
+ detects the volume is not correct and zaps the Slot in the catalog.
