General:
+16Mar06
+- Fix bug #537 to allow arbitrary time to mount a volume for
+ restore, if polling is turned on.
+- Disallow multiple storage specifications for a job. Should fix Arno's
+ problem.
+- Add back a missing store of poolid in jr.poolid.
+- If dir_user or dir-group is specified in ./configure apply it to
+ the working-dir. Fixes bug #533.
+- If rescheduling a job cancel the previous incarnation with the SD.
+ Fixes bugs #566 and 557.
+- Fix bug #567 do_message() definition type conflict.
-Changes to 1.38.2:
-20Oct05
+
+14Mar06
+- Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private.
+- Create lock/unlock methods for jcr.
+- Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading
+ records to get to seek position.
+- Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
+- Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
+ terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
+ SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
+ mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
+ use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
+- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
+ lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.
+- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with
+ multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list.
+- Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique.
+- Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations
+ system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c.
+ This could possibly fix bug #543.
+- Stop SD command loop if job is canceled.
+
+09Mar06
+- Use John Kodis' edit_with_suffix code to edit VolBytes.
+- Backport some fixes for acquire.c. Most importantly, to explicitly
+ have a reserved_device flag for acquire_for_read(). Hopefully
+ this will correct the remaining issues with failed restores holding
+ a drive.
+- Add a job_canceled() check in SD command loop.
+
+Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06
+04Mar06
+- The po files should now be current.
+- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the
+ buffers in all cases.
+- Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object).
+- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
+ to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
+ be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
+- Allow listing by any of the above.
+- Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time
+ and rates with suffexes from John Kodis <kodis at comcast.net>.
+- Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items.
+- Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by
+ Bacula.
+- Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid.
+- Add ACL checking for the dot commands.
+- Fix restore of writable FIFOs.
+- Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early.
+
+26Feb06
+- Fix bug reported by Arno listing blocks with bls
+- Update the po files at Eric's request.
+
+Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06
+25Feb06
+- Add sql_use_result() define.
+
+Release 1.38.6 beta1 24Feb06
+24Feb06
+- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL.
+
+22Feb06
+- Add virtual disk autochanger code.
+- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
+ correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.
+- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage().
+- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably
+ trashed the stack.
+- When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode
+ exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search
+ for a Scratch Volume.
+- Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix.
+- Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning.
+- Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected.
+- Check that user supplied a value before referencing
+ it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian.
+- Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code.
+- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when
+ updating all volumes in a Pool.
+- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr.
+- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that
+ two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time.
+- Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape,
+ 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.
+- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
+- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
+ up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
+- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from
+ the Scratch Pool.
+- Implement additional command line options for update Volume.
+- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating
+ all Volumes in a pool.
+
+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.
+- 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.
+- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
+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)
+ to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
+ IP. Fixes bug # 508.
+07Dec05
+- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
+ Christian Masopust.
+- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
+ from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
+06Dec05
+- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
+ Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
+- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
+ errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
+- Add sanity check in append.c to ensure that dcr is not NULL.
+ This can happen if multiple drive autochanger SCSI control
+ channel and drive indicies do not correspond.
+05Dec05
+- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
+- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
+- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
+ caused an error.
+- Add back next_vol index code so that two drive autochangers can get
+ a second tape.
+- Change a bunch of debug levels to aid debugging autochangers.
+- 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
+ '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.
