+Changes for 1.35.1
+Major Changes:
+- Tray monitor program
+- Bacula Rescue CDROM
+- General bug fixes/stabilization
+- French translation of manual by Ludovic Strappazon well
+ underway.
-Most Significant Changes since 1.32a:
-- Improve forward space file/block during restore, many
- optimizations.
-- Fix a Bacula bug that did not allow appending to a tape
- on FreeBSD systems.
-- Fix pruning so that it will not prune the current job.
-- Modify configure to use non-threaded MySQL client lib if
- the threaded version is not present.
-- Implement restore by file before date.
-- When pruning don't prune the current job.
+New Directives:
+- Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
-Major Changes 1.32a Release:
-- Implemented forward space file/block whenever possible
- during restore. Restoring a small number of files is now
- much faster.
-- There is a new option to restore that allows you
- to restore files based on their Filename. You can
- also specify a file to read which contains the list.
-- Added ClientRunBeforeJob and ClientRunAfterJob.
-- Implemented Include | and < in File daemon.
-- Automatic labeling of tape Volumes should work now.
-- Recycling has been completely restructured and should work.
-- Implemented full length time interval qualifiers (e.g
- "5n is now "5 min" or "5 minutes". A modifier is now required!
-- Fixed gnome-console to compile with RH9 (Gnome 2.0)
-- Implemented "list nextvol job=xxx", which displays the
- next volume to be used by job xxx. The Volume name to
- be used is also added to the "status dir" output.
-- Lots of fixes with variable expansion and counter variables
-- Implemented a new Include/Exclude syntax.
-- While writing a tape, an end of file mark will be written
- every 1Gb. This makes restores faster. If you want to
- change this use "Maximum File Size" in the SD Device
- resource.
+Items to note!!!
+- All daemons should be compatible with 1.34 with the exception
+ of the new FileSet features such as regular expressions.
+- Regular expressions are not implemented in the Win32 FD.
+Other Items:
+- Inhibit printing of FileSet for a restore as it is misleading.
+- Cleaned up a number of minor scripting problems with the CDROM
+ creation.
+- Fixed a race condition causing a Director crash on termination,
+ if a large number of SIGHUPs were sent during a multiple concurrent
+ set of backups.
+- Completed integration of Rescue CD scripts with Bacula source.
+- Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
+- Added more error checking to the spooling code.
+- Applied a patch from Peter Eriksson that removes a dynamic stack
+ allocation (replaced by alloca) and fixes some const problems.
+- Fixed a free() of a static variable in the new IP code bnet.c
+- Got the new Bacula Rescue CDROM booting.
+- Replaced a dynamic template by a simple store when using the
+ native C compiler.
+- Reworked some of the block.c error handling.
+- Changed a Dmsgx(000, to Dmsgx(100 in dev.c that was dumping
+ debug output on a user.
+- Integrated patch from 1.34.6 block.c to 1.35
+- Fix conio.c problem on Solaris.
+- Add debug code to lock_jcr_chain().

+ simplify calls.
-Other Changes 1.32a Release:
-- Fixed sparse file bug.
-- A warning message is sent when a job starts that will be
- blocked because the user did an "unmount".
-- Block checksum errors if any are printed in the job report.
-- Implemented a single routine to read_records. It also returns
- a different record packet for each session. This means
- that multiple simultaneous jobs should work.
-- Added SDConnectTimeout to FD.
-- Lots of doc enhancements
-- Fixed a PurgeOldestVolume bug (VolStatus not returned)
-- Don't crash if DB address record not specified.
-- Return VolStatus on find_next_volume.
-- Use alist for incexe name_list.
-- Use bget_dirmsg() everywhere possible when talking to FD.
-- Delete old semaphore job and workq job scheduling code.
-- edit_run_codes in one place (/lib) Add Job name
-- Update query.sql to find current backups correctly.
-- Correct ambiguous SQL statement for pruning.
-- Set heartbeat interval to zero by default.
-- Fix a possible race condition in stopping the
- heartbeat thread.

-- Enhanced "packet too big" message to indicate who sent it.
-- Corrected console prompt problem in non-readline versions.
-- Correct a number of variable expansion problems.
-- Added a number of new regression tests.
-- In an attempt to make configuration a bit less confusing, I've changed
- the name of a number of variables. The old ones still work, but will
- be phased out over time. FDAddress, FDPassword, SDAddress SDPassword,
- SDDeviceName, and DBPassword.
-- A possible fix to the very intermittent SD crashes that Alex gets.

+Release 1.35.0 08 July 2004:
+- Apply Christopher Hull's const patch for PostgreSQL
+- Add code to block.c to detect if block header is destroyed.
+- Add debug code for memset checking for zeroing 1900-3000 bytes
+ which is what happened to the block headers.
+- If block header is destroyed, read the next block. Probably
+ should return with new status similar to the SHORT block
+ return.
+- Add more debug info to bls for bad blocks.
+- More implementation of DCRs.
+- Eliminate argument passing in SD by using dcr.
+- More int->bool conversions.
+- Add file:block to a number of read/write error messages.
+- More int -> bool conversions.
+- Modify the SD piece by piece to use DCRs everywhere.
+- Cleanup some printout for query command.
+- Fix typo in cats/mysql.c
+- Work on cleaning up tape driver a bit (use bools, better calling
+ sequences).
+- Attempt to fix multi-Volume disk backup. Needs to be tested.
+- Add Regular expressions to FileSet options.
+- Correct configure.in to use ${MAKE} for doing the dependencies.
+- Make MySQL and PostgreSQL try for 30 seconds to connect before
+ giving up.
+- Correct Gnome 1.4 Makefile to build without cats library.
+- Correct a crash reported (with patch) by Jonathan Soong
+ when attempting to backup an ACL on a symlinked file.
+- Fixed an off by one bug in the new resources pointer code.
+ res_head array was one too small.
+- Added Errors to last_job list. This allows detecting jobs
+ that terminated in a warning.
+- Implement setting the Win32 icon to yellow instead of red
+ when the job terminated OK but with warnings.
+- Fix the Win32 makefile and VC project file. The links were
+ not including the Win32 dlls.
+- Delete some old Win32 code that was turned off.
+- Eliminate a few more Win32 compiler warnings.
+- Reduce the output produced by NIS (Win32 install builder).
+- Simplify some of the #ifdefing in compat.h
+- Rewrite spooling error handling when I/O error occurs. It is
+ a bit tricky, requiring to truncate the file so that a despooling
+ will work correctly. Needs to be tested.
+- Make better subroutines for setting up for a new job.
+- Start putting all DB ids on #defines (going to 64 bits).
+- Fix gnome-console Makefile.in to work again.
+- All "level=Incremental/Decremental" to the estimate command. This
+ required some re-arrangement of subroutines at a fairly low level.
+- Apply Piotr Jaworski's patch (patch-r-status.diff) to update the
+ catalog status when a backup job starts running.
+- Add (char*) cast to readline call in console.c for old readlines.
+- Copy Makefile.in from gnome2-console to gnome-console (to eliminate
+ need for cats library).
+- Modify spooling code to handle write error (e.g. spooling disk full)
+ more gracefully. Previously despooling would fail.
+- Reduce casting in smartall.c a bit and add counters for
+ bytes, max_bytes, buffers and max_buffers.
+- Fixed reload algorithm to stack both job end callback and the
+ table id.
+- Fixed the orphaned buffer after reload (job_end_push had to be
+ destroyed.
+- Destroy cond var (jcr->term_wait) only if initialized.
+- Sort the Scheduled Jobs list by start-time, priority.
+- Implement resources on a pointer.
+- Fix Gnome console crash on up/down arrow with no history.
+- Finish first cut of SIGHUP code. To make really work need res
+ on a single pointer rather than in fixed memory.
+- Fix a number of places in query.sql where multiple JobIds are
+ printed (due to JobMedia records).
+- Add new query: List jobs on Volume given Volume name.
+- Correct socket close on Win32 in bnet.c (in addition to compat.cpp).
+ Caused fd leak in Win32 for each connection.
+- Remove vol labeled test in askdir update_volume_info so that non-labeled
+ Volume in catalog can be marked in error.
+- Close socket in SD when connection rejected. Caused fd leaks.
+- Initialize job_start_wait cond variable after every new_jcr() otherwise
+ NetBSD gets error in library when trying to delete it without being inited.
+- Fix typo (9 instead of 0) return status in write_new_volume_label.
+- Fix mount.c to call routine that correctly marks a volume in error.
+- Move code to rewrite volume label to subroutine -- a bit cleaner.
+- Finish implementation and testing of new restore tree code.
+- Implement feedback while tree is loading.
+- Eliminate printing INFO message in UpdateDB (cats) -- it generates
+ "false" error messages.
+- Eliminate some GTK error messages when running the Gnome2 console.
+- Begin restructuring tree.c for inclusion of the binary_insert()
+ routine.
+- Apply Peter Eriksson's lib file order changes in linking for IRIX.
+- Abort configure if Internal is selected as the database.
+- Add testimonials to the Web page
+- Add the bugs list to the Web page "lists".
+- Clarify the English in SuSE and Slackware when SD not running.
+- Applied another extern "C" patch from Peter Eriksson.
+- Fixed a bunch of VC warning messages.
+- Applied the patches sent by Andreas Jellinghaus: build Gnome and
+ wx-console in client-only build if configured; add ./configure option
+ to permit setting of sbin modes -- default is 0745 as before; remove
+ cats library from Gnome console build; remove old version from Gnome
+ About box. Thanks Andreas.
+- Applied Peter Eriksson's const changes to the source code. Thanks Peter.
+- Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used
+ in the restore tree routines.
+- Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which
+ are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit
+ behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*.
