Warning for version 1.39.18 and greater:

+- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded.
- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method
of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last
device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it
will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource
with the correct MediaType.
- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary
- format compatible with the rest of the world. This means that all

- 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.
- The "Accept Any Volume" directive has been removed. It was never
implemented. Bacula will always accept any valid tape that is in
the drive for appending.
+- To install the 1.39.18 Win32 FD, you *must* first stop any

-New features for 1.39.18:

+ you should then save your bacula-fd.conf file, and either
+ uninstall (using Uninstall.bat in the c:\bacula directory) or
+ remove the old installation by manually in a DOS shell in the
+ Bacula directory enter:
+
+ bacula-fd /remove
+
+ after that you can proceed with the installation. My experience
+ is that it does not properly create the new bacula-fd.conf file, so
+ copy the one saved to the directory you chose to install Bacula,
+ or to the directory chosen by the Installer to put the bacula-fd.conf
+ file. Then you can start Bacula in a DOS shell with:
+
+ net start baculafd
+
+ or use the Windows Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Component
+ Services menu item.
+
+
+A Lot of New features for 1.39.18:
+- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
+ cross-compiling. The inital work was done by Howard Thomson,
+ then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
+ cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
+ also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
+ all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
+ drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
+ Finally, he also ported the Directory and the Storage daemon to
+ Win32.
+- Data encryption done in the Client is now supported due to code
+ submitted by Landon Fuller.
+- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
to Thorsten Engel for this code.
-- The 260 character limitation in Win32 paths is now eliminated thanks
- to Thorsted Engel.
+- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
+ eliminated thanks to Thorsted Engel.
+- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
+ the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
+ plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
+ of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that
creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
Andrew J. Millar.
My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
the weekend. This patch was probably back ported to 1.38.x
-- Data encryption done in the Client is now supported due to code
- submitted by Landon Fuller.
- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
Christian Masopust.
- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
all other Storage specifications.
- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.

+- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes

designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.

+Additional Features Added for Win32:
+
+Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
+resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There
+is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that
+has the concept of drives.
+
+Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
+resource. Allowed values are: yes and no.
+
+When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the
+Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways.
+
+ Patterns conform to Posix
+ \ is not a special character in character classification []
+ To match a - it must be the first or last character
+ To match a ] it must be the first character
+
+ fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a /
+ so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path
+
+Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match
+against the filename portion. This in combination with the
+FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile =
+abc*.def work as expected.
+
+Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion.
+
+Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5.
+
+# Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
+WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and
+Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies"
+WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and
+Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent"
+WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local
+Settings,LOCALS~1}/History"
+WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local
+Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp"
+WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local
+Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files"
+
+
+
+Here are some hints if you want to play with the Windows Director and/or
+Storage daemon.
+
+Changer and Tape device names in Windows are Changer0, Changer1, etc and
+Tape0, Tape1, etc. If there isn't a device driver loaded for the Changer
+then you need to use the address <Port>:<Bus>:<Target>:<Lun>. Port is the
+SCSI Adapter Number, Bus is the Bus Number on the adapter (usually 0 since
+most adapters only have one bus), Target is the device's Target Device ID,
+Lun is the Logical Unit Number.
+
+You must specify DeviceType = tape in the Device resource in bacula-sd.conf
+since detection doesn't currently work.
