General:
+01Ma06
+- Work on getting wx-console building on MinGW. wxWidgets now builds
+ started adding Makefile ...
+- Moved MinGW library objects to src/win32/lib to reduce clutter.
+30Apr06
+- Reloading a bad configuration file doesn't kill director any more.
+ Thanks to fix from Eric Bollengier.
+29Apr06
+- Fix problem of accents with new Win32 code.
+- Integrate Howard's VSS patch. Tweak it a bit. VSS now
+ works in the MinGW build with the exception that there
+ is a problem with accented characters -- i.e. there is
+ some mapping problem with wide characters.
+- The code no longer compiles with Microsoft VC++.
+28Apr06
+- Start implementing Christopher's St.Bernard code.
+- Add Christopher's mods for opening files.
+- Strip \r \n from Win32 error messages (Christopher)
+- Add more info about Win32 system if unknown (Christopher)
+- Use bstrn(cpy, cat) routines to avoid overrun in compat.cpp
+- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
+ they should not be (e.g. commands).
+- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
+ 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
+ there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
+ FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
+ restorable.
+- Remove lib/regex.c (replaced by bregex.c).
+- Delete src/win32/License.txt
+- Modify installer to install LICENSE
+26Apr06
+- Fix bug in build-win32-cross-tools script reported by Howard
+- Implement cross compiled bconsole
+25Apr06
+- Fix barcode test, eliminate BOOL (doesn't exist on Linux).
+- Write first cut of README.mingw32
+- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
+- Integrate the majority of the Mingw cross-tools submission
+ made by Howard Thomson. Everything compiles, with zlib, openssl,
+ and VSS turned off. Linking needs a pthreads library ...
+23Apr06
+- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
+- More work on migration.
+- Restore non-compatible base64 coding to permit compatibility.
+- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
+22Apr06
+- Integrate most of the MinGW changes -- more to do.
+21Apr06
+- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
+ Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
+- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
+ working directory. Fixes bug #578.
+- Update job start time after the any run before job so that
+ files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
+ bug #599.
+- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
+ the restore command when reading a file. This permits
+ the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
+ bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
+- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
+ command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
+ the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
+ was suggested by the user.
+- Implement a compatible version of base64. This permits external
+ programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
+ routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
+ author of bug #565.
+ ================= Note ========================
+ Previous Signatures stored in the database are no longer
+ compatible with this. The main downside is for Verify jobs,
+ and doing an InitCatalog run will fix the problem. Also, the
+ authentication between the deamons is changed, so all daemons
+ must be simultaneously upgraded.
+ ==============================================
+ If you don't like this fix, set:
+ const bool compatible = true;
+ to
+ const bool compatible = false;
+ in src/lib/base64.c
+20Apr06
+- Ensure that DB signature is never NULL.
+- Ensure that DB table names are not translated.
+- Fix scheduler to handle time skew (eg daylight savings).
+- Fix scheduler to use lock_jobs() to avoid most problems
+ with reload. Window is now milliseconds.
+19Apr06
+- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
+ - Allow multiple connections to database with different
+ parameters.
+ - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
+ fault, but still 60 second window.
+ - Additional info in Reschedule message.
+ - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
+ cancel, error.
+ - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
+ - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
+ - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
+ - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
+ - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list.
+ - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
+ - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
+- Add /silent option to Win32 FD for Install/Remove service.
+- Always print Heap statistics in FD.
+18Apr06
+- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
+ portability.
+- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
+ more portability.
+- Implement a write_store and read_store to replace
+ dirstore in reserve.c
+- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
+ than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.

+14Apr06
+- Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh
+- Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh
+- Abort if a conf resource does not have a Name =
+12Apr06
+- Change the name of the regex program to bregex.
+- Add the bwild program to the tools directory. It is similar
+ to the bregex program.
+- Implement create bregex.h and bregex.c in src/lib from the
+ Python regexp program.
+- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
+11Apr06
+- More work on migration.
+- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
+ wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
+- Up port VSS single thread locking code.
+- Replace N_(..) by NT_(...) to inhibit translation of
+ commands.
+- Modify Makefile to change the permissions on Working Directory
+ to 770 if the directory is created.
+- Do not fail the Makefile if changing the permissions or
+ owner/group on WorkingDir fails.
+- Remove early selection of Scratch Volumes in the recycling
+ algorithm.
+- Correct the old recycling algorithm so that Scratch Volumes
+ are selected when looking for a Volume in the changer.
+- Correct a typo in the Verify SQL reported by Joe Park.
+10Apr06
+- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
+ explictly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
+- Remove the code added to 1.38.6 and 1.38.7 that pulls a
+ scratch volume in an Autochanger early in the 'recycling'
+ algorithm.
+09Apr06
+- Make weof() and clrerror() methods of class DEVICE.
+08Apr06

+ implemented.
+- Correct bacula.in script to reference bacula-ctl-xx in the
+ sysconfig directory rather than the bin directory.
+26Mar06
+- Fix a long standing bug in the bacula start/stop scripts.
+- Attempt to add the new bacula-ctl-* files to the rpm.
+- Switch to using typeof() for list traversing to avoid
+ as many FC5 g++ compiler warnings as possible.
+25Mar06
+- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
+ bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
+ bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
+ bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
+ bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
+24Mar06

+ possible non-release of reservation_lock().
+- Suffle lock order in reserve to avoid deadlock between
+ reservation lock and device mutex.
+21Mar06
+- Initialize jcr mutex before first use. Thanks to Thorsten for
+ tracking this down for me !!!! as it broke the Win32 build.

+- 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

+ 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.

+- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the
+ buffers in all cases.
+- 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.
