General:
+Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
+19Jan06
+- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
+18Jan06
+- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
+ so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
+- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
+ 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
+ list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
+ lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
+15Jan06
+- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
+ pool by releasing free buffers.
+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
+ Bacula. Canceling the job caused the mutex to fail.
+- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
+ number of items goes to zero.
+- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
+ so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
+ waiting.
+- 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.
+- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
+ 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
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
+- 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
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"
+ 'list nextvol days=xx'
or
- "status dir days=xx"
+ 'status dir days=xx'
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.
- Add Solaris ACL detection in configure.in as supplied by
Attila Fulop.
12Nov05
-- Implement "autochanger drives" protocol so that Dir knows
+- Implement 'autochanger drives' protocol so that Dir knows
how many drives an autochanger has.
- Do not request drive number in label, ... if only one drive.
- Turn off debug code.
