+ opened read/write.
+- Fix Dir/SD run race in migrate.c, verify.c, and restore.c
+- Update projects file.
+24May06
+- Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure

+ Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
+- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
+ listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
+ values.
+- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
+ and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
+- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
+ machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if

+ algorithm.
+08Apr06

+ dvd, and fifo.
+- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
+ a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
+- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger
+ scripts.

+ for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
+
+Release 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
+16Jan06
+- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One

+14Jan06
+- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
+- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
+12Jan06
+- Make db_lock() mutex error fail the job rather than abort

+- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
+ so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before

+- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
+ 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
+- 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.
+- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
+ StorageId is zero (old Media records).
+
+Beta release 1.38.4:
+09Jan06
+- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
+ slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
+- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.

+ drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
+ Arno's changer bug.
+07Jan06
+- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
+06Jan06
+- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
+ differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
+ hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
+ util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
+ upgrades.
+- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
+ incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
+ routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
+ from under the walk routines.
+
+Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
+04Jan06
+- Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
+ premature termination of the reservation if all drives
+ are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
+26Dec05

+ wx-console dependencies in Makefile.in
+- Add OPENSSL INC/LIB to gnome2_console Makefile.in.
+- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
+ volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
+ code.
+- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
+- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
+ it is not an autochanger.
+- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
+ This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
+ rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
+ file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
+- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
+ if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
+ Arnos problem.
+- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
+- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
+- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
+ code. This should fix bug #500.
+21Dec05
+- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
+- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
+ of the mode.
+- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
+ You have messages.
+- Delete old bnet packet code.
+- Ignore new BNET_START_SELECT and BNET_END_SELECT signals in
+ wx-console.
+- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
+ only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
+ #514.
+Beta release 20Dec05:
+20Dec05
+- Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
+ reported by Wolfgang Denk
+19Dec05
+- Implement load balancing code.
+- Pull a few files from 1.39 where we can maintain compatibility.

+ message.
+- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.

+- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
+- Stop read_record() if status not ok in second loop.
+- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
+ and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
+ to get FileIndex at EOT correct.

+08Dec05
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
+ correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
+ Bug # 506.
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)

+- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
+- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
+ at the same time.
+04Dec05
+- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
+ If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
+ 'list nextvol days=xx'
+ or
