+ Technical notes on version 2.0
+
+General:
+12Jan07
+kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
+ fix bug #741.
+kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
+11Jan07
+kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
+ This *should* fix bug #747.
+kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
+ bug #742.
+09Jan07
+kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
+ and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
+ this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
+kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
+kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
+ SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
+ Sebastien Guilbaud.
+kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
+ despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
+
+
+
+Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
+03Jan07
+kes Apply Eric's fix for client name editing on RunScripts.
+kes Fix an incorrect dbcheck reference to Id.
+
+Version 1.39.34 Released:
+28Dec06
+kes Convert dbcheck to use 64 bit DB IDs.
+kes Update projects
+kes Make rescue work.
+kes Clarify Volume migration error message.
+kes Look for Job keyword when opening DB in console.
+23Dec06
+kes Add code in catreq.c to reject volumes not marked Enabled.
+kes Add a few more ACL access checks.
+kes Add \n in gnome2-console restore command so that output prints
+ nicer -- i.e. lines do not run together.
+kes Fix autolabeling so that it will not mark a volume in error
+ if the volume was not actually opened. This should fix bugs
+ #737 and 738.
+kes Require tape drive to be open before autolabeling.
+kes Require explicit mount command on non-tapes before autolabeling.
+kes Implement an open_client_db() that searches the keywords for
+ either a catolg or client, and opens the appropriate catalog.
+ This makes Bacula adjust better to multiple catalogs.
+kes Use more name() methods for resources rather than hdr.name.
+22Dec06
+kes Fix code to check for two resources of same name. It forgot
+ to check the last entry. Fixes bug #734.
+kes Apply scanvolume patch from Richard Mortimer that fixes bug
+ #738.
+kes Apply Eric's patch for recycling the Scratch pool.
+kes Note, for the tray-monitor (or almost any restricted console_
+ to work, in version 1.39.x you must add CatalogACL = catalog-name
+kes Add appropriate new #undefs to autoconf/acconfig.h so that
+ configure works correctly.
+kes Implement configure code to allow the user to disable IPv6 with
+ --disable-ipv6
+kes Apply Richard Mortimer's patch to prevent seg fault if mount point
+ not specified -- SD refuses to start.
+kes Add magic.bacula from bug #715 to the scripts directory along with
+ Arno's explanation of how to install it.
+kes Convert a bunch of hdr.name into name() method calls.
+kes Fix the code to remove .bsr files. Fixes bug #736 -- Martin.
+
+Version 1.39.32 released:
+20Dec06
+kes Take first catalog if gui is set, or if using dotcmd.
+kes Fix a couple of compiler warnings in wx-console
+kes Apply the immutable patch for FreeBSD hardlinked files supplied
+ by Olivier Lehmann.
+kes Add Volume name to Forward spacing message.
+kes Update migration job start time (so it is not zero) to prevent
+ immediate recycling of the job. This *should* fix bug #733.
+19Dec06
+ebl Fix runscript configuration parsing bug.
+17Dec06
+kes Add ENABLE_NLS (as suggested by Eric) to correct NLS problems.
+ Remove NLS kludge from baconfig.h. This fixes bug #729.
+kes Allow seeking on DVD.
+kes Add additional messages when Job canceled automatically for
+ max run time or max start wait exceeded. This fixes bug #621.
+kes Update maxruntime-test in regression script to properly test
+ max run time -- from info given in bug #621.
+kes Simplify automatic cancel code.
+kes Add check for job_canceled() in FD when contacting SD so that if
+ job is canceled from max runtime, it terminates faster.
+16Dec06
+kes Save and restore volume name in stored/mount.c fixed bug #712
+ where wrong tape was requested in a mount.
+kes Implement cleaner orphan buffer dumping with buf address.
+kes Fix orphaned buffer when canceling job waiting on op intervention.
+kes Update projects file for next vote.
+kes Implement a fix (more could be done) for bug #728 where a double
+ EOF is writing on the Volume when spooling is enabled and the
+ connection with the FD fails (FD crash, comm error).
+kes Disable attempting to autolabel when polling and device is not
+ a tape. This fixes bug #730 where polling with a removable disk
+ not mounted caused lots of new Volumes to be created then marked
+ in error.
+15Dec06
+kes Enable VSS by default.
+
+Version 1.39.30 released:
+14Dec06
+kes Complete hopefully the last of the copyright transfer changes.
+kes Separate NumVolumes in SD to NumReadVolumes and NumWrite volumes so
+ that migration writing to multiple volumes doesn't mess up reading
+ Volumes. This should fix bug #720 -- multivol migration fails.
+kes Make migration SQL look only for Type='B' jobs to migrate. This should
+ fix bug #724 jobs getting migrated twice.
+kes Convert remaining dev_cap(dev, ...) to use dev->has_cap().
+kes Implement dev->clear_cap() and dev->set_cap() methods.
+kes Turn off disk seeking on restore for DVDs since I am not 100%
+ sure it works.
+13Dec06
+kes Implement code that should properly set that a job was migrated,
+ if the migration was successful even if there were no file to
+ migrate.
+kes Apply Richard's patch to fix building or filed/restore.c without
+ OpenSSL support.
+kes Ensure that at least one block is written by the SD even if the
+ FD dies or fails -- should fix bug #728.
+kes Convert stored/record.c ASSERT into a soft fail if the length of
+ a record is too insanely long. This should fix bug #???
+12Dec06
+kes Fix automatic labeling of File volumes, which was broken by new
+ removable device code.
+10Dec06
+kes Remove typedef uLong for HP in baconfig.h. It broke things.
+lf Fix job byte reporting -- the digest code runs in verify.c and
+ increases this value. The better solution is to digest the
+ stream as we receive it, thus removing the need to re-read
+ from disk at all, but that requires more extensive and
+ potentially destabilizing changes.
+lf This commit fixes backup and restore of HFS+ resource forks.
+lf Add a long-missing 'break' statement in HFS+ attribute
+ handling that resulted in restore failures.
+09Dec06
+ebl Fix runscript to always execute command after all job type.
+
+Version 1.39.30 released:
+08Dec06
+kes Mark build-depkgs-mingw3 executable in configure process.
+kes Update autoconf/config.h.in to include LOCALEDIR
+kes Undefine NLS settings for wxWidgets as there is a conflict with
+ their way of doing things.
+kes Implement a rpool and rpool_source in jcr.h for Migration jobs.
+kes Change a bunch of ->hdr.name to ->name()
+kes Straighten out handling of read and write pools for Migration, including
+ getting the code in the proper order.
+kes Improve migration error messages and debug output.
+kes Shorten code path in migration if nothing found to do.
+kes Implement read/write pool in migration job report.
+kes Move ua_run.c select_job_level code into a subroutine (readability).
+kes Move ua_run.c display_job_parameters into a subroutine.
+kes Do not bash dcr->VolumeName in get_volume_info() because it makes
+ restore dependent on a valid catalog containing the Volume name.
+06Dec06
+kes Put make_catalog_backup SQL_BINDIR in an environment variable to
+ make it easier for the user to change.
+kes Fail any backup job that tries to use encryption and sparse options.
+ Hopefully this is a temporary change.
+kes Correct the EndJob return string for non-backup jobs.
+kes Review the encryption restore code.
+kes Implement a new encryption regression test with compression.
+kes Modify migrate not to fail if nothing found to migrate.
+kes Add #undef HAVE_OPENSSL, HAVE_TLS, HAVE_CYRPTO to autoconf/config.h.in
+ because they were not always set correctly.
+05Dec06
+kes Update configure.in to include python 2.5 search.
+kes Back out unwanted migration change reported by Richard Mortimer.
+04Dec06
+kes Make migration with no files to migrate set normal termination.
+kes Change message when job manually started to say Job queued. ...
+kes Add job report indication of whether or not VSS and Encryption were
+ used by the FD.
+kes Modify sparseBlock variable name to make the code clearer.
+kes Add more sparse tests to regress using gigaslam sparse file
+ generator.
+kes Enable data encryption code.
+kes Add gigaslam.c to src/tools. It creates a 1GB file that contains
+ only two blocks -- i.e. it is a real sparse file.
+03Dec06
+kes Enable disk seeking on restore.
+kes Implement the SD 'Block Positioning = yes|no' directive. This
+ allows the user to turn off block level seeking, but restores
+ will be much slower.
+kes Change the word illegal to read invalid in a few places.
+kes Fix Win32 build, which broke when I added parse_args_only in
+ lib. I'm not sure I got the entry point right for msvc.
+kes Turn off data encryption. It can be enabled by defining
+ DATA_ENCRYPTION in src/version.h and recompiling.
+kes Implement flag to turn off data encryption feature.
+kes Move unserial code in restore.c to a subroutine. Add a bit of debug
+ code.
+kes Rework a bit of code in backup.c to handle sparse blocks correctly.
+ The main problem was that signatures were being generated on blocks
+ of zeros, which is unnecessary.
+02Dec06
+kes Fix scanner (next_arg) to handle leading double quote correctly.
+kes Modify cd command in restore tree to look at full argument without
+ keywords. This fixes bug #716.
+01Dec06
+kes Do not update Migrated Job type if migration does not terminate
+ normally. This fixes bug #719.
+kes Update ReleaseNotes
+kes Purge Job records from the catalog for Migration. This was
+ not properly done previously. This fixes bug #718.
+28Nov06
+kes Initialize msg_type to M_INFO in migration. Pointed out by
+ Robert Nelson.
+kes Add some fflush() statements for debug output. This should not
+ really be necessary and defeats buffering but users continue
+ to complain.
+27Nov06
+kes More copyright changes.
+kes Make sure we don't detach from the despool read device since it
+ is a temporary structure where the condition variables are not
+ initialized. Bug #711.
+26Nov06
+kes Add Bacula version+date to Client record. This is a very minor
+ security problem in that passing the version facilitates a hacker's
+ life, but it will make support easier.
+kes Implement fixes to make disk seeking work. Currently turned
+ off in version.h pending reserch on what problems it will cause
+ because of the previous bsnprinf() sign extension bug.
+25Nov06
+kes Add Landon's refactor of restore Feature request to the
+ projects file.
+kes Tweak debug levels and messages for examining the disk
+ seek problem.
+22Nov06
+kes Cleanup some of the error termination code in migration.
+kes Separate read/write source strings to keep track of where
+ storage devices are used in a job.
+kes Implement a new method of keeping track of which storage
+ device is used in a Job. USTORE keeps both a pointer to the
+ resource and to the source string.
+kes Modify all code to use new storage set subroutines in job.c
+kes Modify migrate.c so that the definitive selection of the storage
+ resource is done in the do_migration_init() routine prior to
+ the job going into the job queue. This permits accurate
+ deadlock detection (same read and write storage resource).
+kes Remove bfill from btape (I think it was a left over stub).
+22Nov06
+kes Make sure that the storage for a job is pulled first from
+ the Pool and if not from the Job.
+kes Ensure that either the Pool or the Job specifies a Storage
+ resource.
+21Nov06
+kes Start applying new FSFE copyright.
+20Nov06
+kes Add additional error messages in acquiring a drive for read.
+kes Make WritePartAfterJob the default so that the last DVD part
+ always gets written to the DVD by default.
+kes Add additional error messages in migration.
+kes Suppress redundant error messages in migration (possibly more to do).
+kes Apply Martin's fix (updated to 1.39) that takes into account
+ run storage overrides in the Director status display.
+kes Implement, but turn off the submitted code that sets the EOT
+ model on FreeBSD machines. Turning on this code is too risky at
+ this point in the development.
+19Nov06
+kes Implement unique dbid routine for migration to prevent the same
+ JobId from being migrated twice. This should fix bug #709.
+18Nov06
+kes Apply Jaime Ventura's 'mail on success' patch.
+kes Add a SMALLOC_SANITY_CHECK for Arno, which aborts Bacula
+ if memory usage gets too big.
+kes Tweak migration to ensure that read/write devices are different.
+17Nov06
+kes Create an AUTHORS file to list Bacula contributors.
+kes Add Richard Stallman's four GPL freedoms to LICENSE
+kes Require the conf file to have a valid NextPool for writing the
+ migration output.
+16Nov06
+ebl Enable RecycleCount in catalog.
+ebl Fix "echo python | bconsole" segfault
+14Nov06
+kes Implement code to pass the MediaId to the SD. The SD then uses
+ this MediaId when creating JobMedia records. This fixes a bug
+ with Migration where the MediaId got set to the second Volume
+ read rather than the write Volume. Possibly (unlikely) fixes
+ bug #709.
+kes Remove NextPool from Job resource.
+kes Edit a few numbers in the restore dialog with commas.
+kes Note, the DIR<->SD protocol has changed.
+13Nov06
+kes Replace () by {} in configure.in for proper HP configuration.
+kes Shorten some lines over 80 characters in filed/backup.c
+kes Cast sizeof() in filed/backup.c to avoid compiler warning.
+
+Version 1.39.28 released:
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
Version 1.39.24 beta released:
02Oct06
rbn Fix restore problem with c:\ prefix bug #676.
