General:
-Changes to 1.38.3:
+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
+ premature termination of the reservation if all drives
+ are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
+26Dec05
+- Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
+
+Beta release 23Dec05:
+22Dec05
+- Add OPENSSL_INC to console dependencies, lib dependencies, and
+ 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.
+- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
+ more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
+ jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
+17Dec05
+- Remove quotes from Version table name -- it breaks things.
+- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
+- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
+16Dec05
+- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
+- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
+- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
+Beta release 14Dec05:
+14Dec05
+- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
+ for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
+- Add quotes around table Version because of
+ error in MySQL 4.1.15 -- bug report submitted.
+- Correct some minor problems with btape in the fill
+ command.
+- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
+- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
+- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
+ and always open nonblocking.
+- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
+- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
+- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
+ message.
+- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
+ Bug #510
+13Dec05
+- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
+- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
+- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
+- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
+12Dec05
+- Use localhost if no network configured
+11Dec05
+- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
+- Remove debug print.
+- Add bail_out in error during state file reading.
+Beta release 10Dec05:
09Dec05
- Merge updates into 1.38 branch
- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
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.
-Changes to 1.39.1:
03Dec05
- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault
- 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.
