- Technical notes on version 1.39
+ Technical notes on version 2.4.x
General:
-10Sep06
-kes Apply patch from Richard Mortimer to ensure that the number
- of DVD parts is correctly updated.
+Release Version 2.4.0
+04Jun08
+kes Update version to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes.
+03Jun08
+kes Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume.
+ This fixes bug #1095.
+31May08
+kes Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should
+ fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro.
+kes Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug
+ #1086.
+30May08
+kes Fix multiple media restore.
+kes Make DEVICE Slot private and access it via a method.
+ Allows better control over when it is set and cleared.
+kes Fix possible seg fault if SQL error.
+28May08
+kes Add debug code to SD.
+kes Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name.
+26May08
+kes If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and
+ try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went
+ wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously
+ this error was fatal, now it produces an error message.
+kes Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore
+kes Ensure that Volume is mounted for restore.
+25May08
+kes Fix a few more Coverity reported problems.
-Version 1.39.22 beta released:
-08Sep06
-kes Fix logic error in handling error return from mtx-changer
- script.
-kes Make status from SD aware of -1 (unknown) Slot status.
-kes At Eric's suggestion make both the "slots" and "drive" commands
- to the Storage daemon work even if the drive is busy.
-kes Make two separate Win32 menu links for starting bconsole and
- wx-console in winbacula.nsi
-kes Apply DVD part_spooled patch from Richard Mortimer
- richm@oldelvet.org.uk
-kes Put installer/Readme.txt into Win32 EOL format for Notebook.
-rbn Fixed problems migrating settings from previous releases in
- Win32 installer. Add Readme.txt with an option to show it on
- the installer Finish page.
-07Sep06
-kes Use get_catalog_resource() to open catalog database
- to ensure that ACLs are respected and that user is
- correctly prompted for database.
-kes Integrate multiple console/director patch from
- Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-ebl Add character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- You can use now 'WriteBootStrap = "/path/%c_%n.bsr"'
-kes Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console
-kes Restore DCR after VOL_NAME_ERROR in mount.c. Hopefully
- this will fix bug #627 where Bacula eventually gets
- confused about what Volume it wants.
-kes Add a new close_part() class in the SD to save the device
- state around open/close_part/open for DVD writing. This
- should fix the num_dvd_parts getting zeroed as reported by
- Richard Mortimer.
-kes Apply patch from Richard Mortimer that correct edit code
- 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)
-06Sep06
-kes Add dev->close() in dir_ask_sysop_to_mount_volume() in
- bcopy. Fixes bug #669 reported by Eric.
-kes Fix incorrect number of arguments in SQL statement in
- sql_get.c as reported by Eric.
-kes Manual updates.
-kes Update examples directory.
-kes Remove unused variable in winservice.cpp

-04Sep06
-kes Correct dvd code that breaks tape labeling.
-kes Implement Enabled on update slots.
-02Sep06
-kes When doing a label, pass the VolBytes back to the Director,
- which puts it in the catalog.
-kes Print an error message if the user attempts to prune an
- archived Volume.
-kes Need to start using %ld when sscanfing 32 bit values.
-kes Update the free
-kes Correct the counting of VolCatBytes for DVDs.
-kes Add code to mount.c to require that VolCatBytes corresponds to
- what is actually found when doing an append.
-kes Update freespace only after writing on the DVD.
-kes Remove code that blows away the current part in the spool file.
-01Sep06
-kes Apply new dvd-handler patch from Richard Mortimer.
-kes Tweak so that debug level 20 shows only DVD commands.
-kes Correct spooled_part flag in dev.c close() so that it is cleared
- when the spool file is deleted or does not exist.
-kes Print part number in read_records when eof hit (restore).
-31Aug06
--es Make find with no args in tree restore return error rather than
- stopping the selection. Fixes bug #665
-kes Rework DVD writing to ensure that the last part is written
- on open_next_part when dealing with a spool file.
-kes Correct the lseek_dev() routine to handle end point correctly
- (bug introduced by me).
-kes Allow part number to exceed num_dvd_parts in lseek_dev().
-30Aug06
-kes Apply dvd-handler patch from Richard Mortimer.
-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.
-25Aug06
-kes Install man pages with 'make install'
-kes wx-console crashes because of differences between Bacula and wxWidgets
- malloc()/free(). Tweak wx-console to use bmalloc()/bfree() for Bacula
- calls.
-kes correct improper indenting in wx-console/console_conf.c
-kes update wx-console header copyrights
-kes Fix bug #658 where wx-console mangles file/directory names containing
- commas.
-24Aug06
-kes Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
-kes Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work.
-kes Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
-kes Remove obsolete del_MAC sql command.
-kes Ensure that bscan creates Volumes with Enabled=1.
+Beta Release Version 2.2.10-b4
+24May08
+kes Enhance a couple of SD debug messages.
+kes Tweak unload flag setting and ensure it is set during swap.
+23May08
+ebl Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command.
+21May08
+kes Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race
+ conditions.
+kes Make sure device not busy before doing label command.
+kes Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too
+ many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070.
+kes Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any
+ reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the
+ directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as
+ with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be
+ backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files.
+ This fixes bug #1041.
+20May08
+kes Remove double quotes from ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes
+kes Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes).
+kes Remove old form of locking when getting volumes -- causes deadlock.
+17May08
+kes Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity.
-Version 1.39.20 beta released:
-22Aug06
-kes Correct missing Client table reference in SQL pointed out by
- Marc.

-20Aug06
-kes Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio.
-kes Print JobIds to be migrated in Job Report.
-kes Add additional user supplied notes to the messages part of
- bacula-dir.conf concerning multiple email addresses.

-kes Add more recent Feature requests to Projects file.
-19Aug06
-kes Apply Maritn's fix to src/win32/Makefile.
-kes Apply Martin's fix to configure.in for pthreads on FreeBSD 4.x
-kes Implement pruning for Migration and migrated jobs.
-kes Implement PoolOccupancy migration.
-kes Implement PoolTime migration.
-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.
-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 Remove previous changes to compat.cpp as they create problems.
-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 Make make clean descend into the src/win32 directory.
-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.
-30Jul06
-kes Make bscan ignore ACL streams.
-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
+Beta Release Version 2.2.10-b3
+12May08
+kes Implement --without-qwt
+kes Fix layout of restore tree dialog
+kes Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built
+ with or without the QWT libaries.
+11May08
+kes Apply batfix bat cleanup patch from Riccardo.
+kes Make sure we unload the right slot when swapping.
+08May08
+kes Improve SD reserve debug code.
+kes Testing an improvement to free up volumes no longer in use.
-Version 1.39.18
-29Jul06
-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
- same time clear in ones head is not easy.
+Beta Release Version 2.2.10-b2
+03May08
+kes Rework SD acquire for read to handle autochanger Volume
+ swapping.
+kes Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume
+ from one drive to another.
+kes Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions.
+kes Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives.
+ This fixes bug #1083.
+01May08
+kes Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
+ the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
+ bug #1083.
+kes Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
+ This fixes bug #1078.
+kes Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a
+ warning rather than an error.
+28Apr08
+ebl Fix SQL query in migration code
+19Apr08
+kes Force unload of volume when wrong volume mounted in SD.
+17Apr08
+kes Fix bat seg fault at termination.
+kes Add Bacula generated version to bat about box.
-Version 1.39.17

-eb Add yes/no English keywords on localized yes/no questions.
-27Jul06
-kes Several important commits from Robert Nelson for code cleanup and
- Win32 build.
-kes Modify console.c so that when conio is enabled, it converts \n to
- \n\r before outputting to the console. Hopefully this will fix
- the problems with expect in Perl that Eric saw.
-24Jul06
-kes Change cats/sql.c to eliminate %-*s format, which I think is turned
- off in bsnprintf.
-kes Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
-kes Allow true/false in some yes/no questions.
-kes Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)

- permits adding additional fields later.
-kes Modify dbcheck to handle ctl-d and to delete Log table entries.
-kes Update README.mingw
-22Jul06
-kes Tweak authentication to work with 1.38.x FDs.
-kes Tweak catalog make scripts.
-kes Fix catalog upgrade scripts so that they work.
-kes Correct despooling debug code to eliminate race condition.
-19Jul06
-kes Add additional fields as specified by Arno to LocationLog.
-kes Add comment field to the Media record.
-kes Add Time field to the Log record.
-kes Correct migration SQL (thanks to Bill Moran) so that it
- runs with PostgreSQL also.
-kes Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
-17Jul06
-kes Spend a lot of time integrating mkcdrec with the rescue disk.

-kes Add CATALOG as a destination. It goes into the LOG table.
-kes Implement the Log table in the DB.
-kes Implement the Location Log table in the DB (for user use).
-kes At Eric's request add a run_scripts() just after blast_data in
- src/filed/job.c
-10Jul06
-kes Add Enabled column to Location, correct some typos in DB schemas.
-kes Correct bug I introduced into RunScripts enum.
-kes Add log table to Catalog
-kes Purge original job migrated if the migration terminates normally.
-kes Cleanup purging of files/jobs so that it is done only in a
- single subroutine.
-kes Add new VOLMGMT message class.
-kes Add Catalog message destination (user conf code remains to be written).
-09Jul06
-kes Modify read_record and friends to properly deal with migration
- needs.
-kes Update debug code in read_record.
-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.
- ==========================================================
-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
+Beta Release Version 2.2.10-b1
+16Apr08
+kes Permit multiple simultaneous restores -- experiment.
+15Apr08
+kes Backport development stream SD reservation system changes.
+ See below:
+===
+16Apr08
+kes Move final volume swapping code to DCR method and
+ call it from acquire_for_read().
+kes When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger.
+14Apr08
+kes Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the
+ same volume name twice in a row.
+13Apr08
+kes Tweak the swap Volume from one drive to another code so that
+ it now seems to work.
+kes Resolve several problems with recycling that broke the new
+ code (these problems are in 2.2.9 as well).
+kes Remove the volume lock when calling the sysop code.
+kes Don't mark a reserved volume with no writers as unused otherwise
+ jobs fail.
+12Apr08
+kes Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make
+ the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically
+ handling the responsibilities.
+11Apr08
+kes Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just
+ causes a seg fault in many cases.
+kes Cleanup releasing a volume and make it a DCR method.
+kes Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and
+ swapping volumes.
+10Apr08
+kes Tweak volume swapping code so it works.
+kes Correct name overloading in mount.c
+kes Replace released flag in VOLRES with reserved and add access
+ methods for the VOLRES class.
+kes Prevent volume from being released while being swapped.
+kes Refactor parts of stored/mount.c
+09Apr08
+ebl Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime
+ebl Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime
+ and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066
+kes Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c
+kes Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to
+ autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code.
+08Apr08
+kes Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job.
+kes Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking
+ the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by
+ another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it.
+===
- ======================= 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.
- ==========================================================
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b7
+14Apr08
+kes Close bat console windows first to eliminate error message
+ from the notifier.
+kes Remove useless code in Scheduler that causes seg fault on
+ termination.
+kes Correct some SD catalog request error messages.
+kes Don't allow pruning of any running job.
+kes Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD
+ when reading past an EOS_LABEL.
+kes Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just
+ causes problems.
+kes Lock volumes when unreserving a device.
+kes Do not mark volume unused when recycling.
+kes When acquiring, don't mark volume unused if it is reserved (busy).
-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
- ===========================================================
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b6
+06Apr08
+kes Eliminate ./configure warning on po directory
+kes Fix bug #1063, reuse of freed ptr in list nextvol.
+kes Release regex compile buffer in filed/job.c
+kes Add proper type of const char in sql_create.c
+kes Turn off debug in daemon termination routines
+kes Move free_volume_list() before devices are freed in stored.c
+kes Fix reference to uninitalized stack variables in bregex.c.
+ This should correct bug #1067.
+04Apr08
+kes Fix possible seg fault in SD when freeing a volume entry.
+02Apr08
+kes Apply patch from bug #1069 that corrects spurious error messages
+ when ACLs enabled on SGI but no ACL exists.
+ebl Fix a storage deamon segfault at debug level 500.
-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 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.
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b5 -- not released
- ======================= 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.
- ==========================================================
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b4
+01Apr08
+kes Re-enable code to remember last volume mounted on a non-tape
+ Autochanger.
+kes Add patch supplied in bug #1068 that fixes a SD crash when using
+ a Virtual autochanger.

+ running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
+ <tih@hamartun.priv.no> for excellent analysis and testing.
-kes Add complete text of GPL to LICENSE.
-kes Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
- came from -kes with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
- it is all very complicated.
-kes Create a few common subroutines for backup.c and migrate.c

- wx-console or the tray-monitor ...
-24Jun06
-kes Implement Robert's suggestion to suppress printing compile lines.
-kes Detect GCC correctly (I hope)
-kes If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
- -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
+Beta releae version 2.2.9-b3
+27Mar08
+kes Rework certain SD locking based on gdb tracebacks of deadlocks
+ sent by Eric. This code now uses only the volume_lock() rather
+ than the reservations lock when at EOM and acquiring a new
+ volume.
+kes Ensure only one exit point in several subroutines.
- ===================== Warning =============================
- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. This could cause print output
- to look different.
- ===========================================================
+Beta release version 2.2.9-b2
+24Mar08
+kes Fix to initial tape drive open to release the volume name
-kes Fix crypto when not using openssl. I previously overlooked this.

- and forcing a 6 second wait.
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b1
+22Mar08
+kes Fix to JobMedia fix.

+ ClientId to zero.
+kes Fixed important spelling error in doc -- bug #1045.
+23Jan08
+kes Move initialization of read/write res lock earlier in the code.
+ This fixes the crash with a null conf file. This fixes bug
+ #1030.
+kes Redefine CURES in lib/parse_conf to be URES and move it all
+ into lib/parse_conf.c -- this responds to bug #1042, but does
+ not fix it. The fix is not to compile with FORTIFY_SOURCE.
+kes Backport fix de-referencing a NULL pointer in the scanner from
+ the trunk SVN. I don't think this was reported as a bug.
-kes Major cleanup and simplification of regress using shell functions
- (more tests to be converted to new format)
-kes Add detection of 64 bit Irix as indicated by user.
-kes Increment catalog database id from 9 to 10.
-kes Add a few of the new database fields to the various C++

- More work to be done.
-22Jun06
-kes Update some very old licenses in src/cats.
-kes Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
- Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
- Delete MAC table
- Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
- Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
- Add Cost to Location table.
-kes Delete mac_record subroutines.
-kes Add new table values to create/update/get routines as appropriate.
-kes Update the update_tables and make_tables scripts.
-kes Make a first cut in using a union where multiple pointers (actually
- pointers to pointers) are stored.
-kes Make some changes to base64.c suggested by Robert and others and add
- a small amount of documentation.
-kes Add some changes suggested by Peter for Solaris (bregex...)
-kes Make runscript.h always built because it needs to be pulled into
- more places. In particular its RES was left out of a union.
-kes Renumber the enum{} list in runscript.h to avoid starting from zero.
- This makes it slightly easier to detect uninitialized variables.
-14Jun06
-kes Remove xpg4 lib from FreeBSD build as it is no longer needed and
- sometimes creates install problems.
-kes Change a couple of %T in strftime to %H:%M:%S as seen in Robert
- Nelson's code. More to do.
-kes Convert a few store_bit to store_bool in filed_conf.c.
-kes DVD tweak to block.c as supplied by Uwe Muessel.
-04Jun06

-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).
+Beta release Version 2.2.8
+09Jan08
+kes Re-enable the new job code editing (%f).
+08Jan08
+kes Fix bsnprintf for float point numbers. I broke recently when

+03Jan08
+kes Move Heartbeat documentation from Job to Director resource.
+ This fixes bug #1033.
+02Jan08
+kes Fix existing switch drive SD code to call autochanger to release
+ any old volume. This must be done to keep the autochanger from
+ releasing subsequently newly reserved volumes in doing a close().
+ This should possibly fix bugs #1032 and #1018.
+kes Apply big backport of current SVN SD code that corrects a number
+ of race conditions. This is a first step in fixing bug #1018.
+29Dec07
+ebl Fixes bug #1028 where 'Selection Type' option was not usable
+ with JobDefs.
- 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).
- 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.
-kes Apply patch from John Goerzen bug #611 to fix bad manual links in the code.
-kes Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #614 to removed trailing
- colons in query.sql file.
-kes Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #613 to correct prunning of files

-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.

+ job that contains encrypted data. It fixes bug #1024.
+02Dec07
+kes This patch prevents the 'status dir' command from trying to use a scratch
+ volume and possibly moving it from one pool to another. This patch fixes
+ bug #1019.
+30Nov07
+kes Fix --archivedir addition to configure. Replace it with
+ --with-archivedir in configure.in This fixes the regression
+ test builds.
+kes This patch fixes bug #1012 where the job is canceled because
+ of Max Run Time exceeded when the job has not yet started.
+29Nov07
+ebl Apply Richard Mortimer patch that fixes #1016 when there are more than
+ one 'part' to write. Instead of each part being stored on disk,
+ written to DVD, then deleted from disk, all parts are written to disk,
+ and only the last is written and deleted from disk.
+27Nov07
+kes Correct typos in disk-changer.in
+25Nov07
+kes This patch fixes the status command to include the formating string for
+ JS_AttrInserting. It fixes bug #1021.
+kes This patch should fix the Mac OS X build problem on the latest
+ Darwin, where sys/types.h was not included correctly (apparently
+ due to a change in the Mac headers). The solution was to explicitly
+ ensure that it is defined for the ./configure.
+ This patch also has a rebuild of configure that includes the Debian
+ qt4 patch to check for qmake-qt4. This patch fixes bug #1020.
+kes This patch should ensure that queued messages to the console are
+ displayed as soon as possible. It should fix bug #1007, but has been
+ reported not to work.
+14Nov07
+kes This patch fixes the infinite loop when trying to increase the
+ maximum number of volumes in a Pool during the add command.
+ This patch fixes bug #1008.

- 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

- 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.

- 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.

+ This allows the reservation system to test various different
+ devices, and will permit easy device changes.

+kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
+ <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
+ It implements:
+ The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
+ an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
+ A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
+ in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place

+ return immediately).
+kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
+ running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
+kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should

+kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
+24Feb07
+ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
+22Feb07
+kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
+kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
+ not be zeroed.
+kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
+ who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
+ them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
+21Feb07
+kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
+ than English. Fixes bug #788.
+20Feb07
+ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
+ This fixes bug #780
+ You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
+ It will be fixed soon.
+ If you want to use this, you can apply
+ trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
+19Feb07
+kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
+ no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
+ set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
+ebl finish RecyclePool feature
+ Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
+ when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
+ update volume=xxx frompool
+ To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
+ Pool {
+ Name = Default
+ RecyclePool = Scratch
+ ...
+ }
+ TODO: update manual
+kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
+kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
+ that returns more information and will make it easier
+ to interface to the Director from a program.
+18Feb07
+kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
+ obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
+ first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
+kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
+ changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
+ implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
+ the Changer Command to an empty string.
+17Feb07
+kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
+ in a single write() request rather than in two.
+ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
+ volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
+16Feb07

+kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
+13Feb07
+kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
+ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
+11Feb07
+kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
+ Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
+ was opened, it is closed.
+10Feb07
+kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
+kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
+ in the case of orphaned records.
+kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
+ and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
+ idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
+kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
+ the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
+ happens to the ScratchPool?
+kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
+ times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
+ simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
+ should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
+ times are in Bacula units.
+kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
+09Feb07
+kes Update projects list.
+08Feb07
+kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
+ the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
+ large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
+kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
+ console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
+ #767.
+kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
+ at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
+ fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
+ to fail.
+kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
+ so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
+07Feb07
+ Switch to using Subversion
+kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
+06Feb07
+kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
+ plus the entrypoints.
+kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
+ in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
+ part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
+05Feb07
+kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
+ loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
+ Fixes bug #771.
+kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
+ with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
+ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
+04Feb07
+kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
+ problem is with read or append.
+02Feb07
+kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
+kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
+ memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
+kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
+ termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
+ (i.e. migration jobs).
+kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
+ a memory leak problem.
+kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
+ in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
+ to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
+kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
+ rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
+ methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
+ (hides some of the ugly casting).
+kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
+ readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
+ strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
+kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
+ rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
+ by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
+ uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
+ should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
+ contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
+28Jan07
+kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
+26Jan07
+ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
+kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
+kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
+ the SD.
+kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
+ so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
+25Jan07
+kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
+kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
+ to WARNING.
+kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
+ which should restart an indefinite # of times.
+kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
+ other DIR specifications.
+23Jan07
+rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
+ Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
+ Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
+19Jan07
+kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
+18Jan07
+kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
+ backup. This should fix bug #755.
+kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
