General:
+Changes to 1.39.5
+20Feb06
+- Note!!! Your database must be updated, or you must create
+ a new database. I have not yet incremented the database level.
+- Add Location table.
+- Add LocationId, DeviceId, and MediaTypeId to Media record.
+18Feb06
+- Implement create/get mac record in database for adding extended
+ Migration data to the job record.
+- Add new MAC table to update/make database scripts.
+- Return Storage name used when getting VolumeNames for a job.
+- Change bsr file keyword Storage to Device, which is more accurate.
+- Ensure that Mac records are pruned/purged.
+- Tweak SD tools to deal with changing media type.
+- Integrate more dev.c subroutines as methods (e.g. strerror, bsr, ...)
+- Pass pointer to dcr pointer to acquire_device_for_read() so
+ that the subroutine can switch devices, and hence dcrs.
+- Modify the multiple MediaType read code to re-use the same
+ dcr when switching devices. This makes the code much more
+ robust.
+- Integrate patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
+ from a table for restore.
+- Add Storage name to VolParams, but it really should be Device.
+14Feb06
+- Add disk-changer to scripts directory + configure/Makefile
+- Eliminate PoolId from jcr -- it is in jcr->jr.PoolId
+- Implement store_bit scanner to replace store_yesno. Mostly done.
+- Implement new store_bool that stores in a bool.
+- Add true/false to yes/no conf directives.
+- Make first cut at changing appropriate store_yesno to store_bool.
+- Complete implementation of Pool storage devices.
+- Move starting clones to job.c
+- Move create_restore_bootstrap_file() to job.c
+- Make copy_storage() more general to be able to handle
+ Pool storage.
+- Cleanup a lot of migration code for manual running, including
+ using Pool storage.
+- Move getting a scratch Volume into a subroutine.
+- Make all places a Volume that is added to a pool to
+ respect max vols.
+- Fix bug in autochanger recycle code (improper edit 64 bit).
+- Fix segfault in restore command when no value specified.
+- Start adding code to handle multiple MediaTypes in restore.
+- Eliminate race condition in getting Volume name for
+ two drive autochanger.
+- More debug code in autochanger.
+- Add storage keyword to bootstrap file, add parsing.
+- Move slot in bsr file into Volume record as there will be
+ a different slot for each Volume.
+- Create reserve.h
+07Feb06
+- Implement Pool storage overrides.
+06Feb06
+- Implement first cut of Migration.
+- Implement mysql_use_result() from patch by Karl Hakimian.
+ This reduces significantly the memory consumption during
+ the restore tree building, and hence runs faster too.
+- Implement StorageId patch supplied by user (reggie) in bug
+ #536. This should permit Bacula to work correctly with two
+ autochangers.
+- Implement Job listing variations suggested by a user.
+- Move updating bootstrap code in backup.c to subroutine
+ update_bootstrap_file().
+- Add new job status elapsed time and bytes written user
+ friendly job report output patch sent by a user.
+- Implement a storage list in Pools.
+- Separate out setup_job() code from run_job().
+- Get migration working -- lots of changes in mac.c in both
+ DIR and SD.
+- Apply patch from user (Eric Bollinger I think) that fixes a
+ DIR crash when no arguments are supplied to a dot command.
+- Fix typo (strcpy->strcmp) in ua_prune.c as reported by Martin.
+- Fix command arg name->volume in label command of gnome-console.
+- Fix SD acquire.c to release correct DCR by explicitly testing
+ on the dcr address rather than trying to "devine" if it is a read
+ or write dcr. This failed in error conditions when the device was
+ not fully setup.
+
+30Jan06
+- Apply user supplied patch for more readable rate output
+ in job report.
+- Continue implementing migration.
+- Implement support for removable filesystems in SD.
+- Ensure that btraceback scripts can be read by anyone.
+- Replace dvd-freespace and dvd-writepart by dvd-handler.
+- Correct bug where canceling restore before the FD contacts
+ the SD causes the drive to be left in read mode.
+- Move ofline_or_rewind into DEVICE::close().
+- Eliminate close_device.
+- Convert several dev subroutines to methods (e.g. bsf,
+ eod, ...)
+- Eliminate force_close_device().
+- Implement Device Type directive in Device resource that
+ can have values File, Tape, Fifo, DVD, or Prog.
+- Add has_cap() method to Device.
+Changes to 1.39.4
+17Jan06
+- Add patch from bug #527 to allow RedHat user to specify
+ options/user/group for starting each daemon in
+ /etc/sysconf/bacula.
+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.
+
+
Changes to 1.39.3:
+04Jan06
+- Start implementing Verify list output.
+- 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.
22Dec05
- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
