General:
+17Mar06
+- Implement regex test program in tools directory.
+- Attempt to fix time problem with bsmtp with foreign langs.
+- Add strip_trailing_newline() submitted by user.
+- Implement regex matching in migrate.c
+16Mar06
+- Fix bug #537 to allow arbitrary time to mount a volume for
+ restore, if polling is turned on.
+- 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.
+
+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.
+- More details in implementing David's migration syntax proposal.
+- Save and restore dcr when swapping drives so that if we have
+ a write dcr it is not lost.
+- 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.
+
+08Mar06
+- Remove old code from findlib/create_file.c
+- Rename mac.c migrate.c
+- Add user friendly display of VolBytes in job report.
+- Rename target... to previous... to make it a bit easier to
+ understand.
+- Add selection type and selection pattern to Migration (idea
+ given by David Boyes).
+
+04Mar06
+- The po files should now be current.
+- 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.
+- 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.
+27Feb06
+- Modify the Python class examples to inherit object -- new way
+ of defining classes. Patch from Felix Schwarz.
+- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
+ suggested by Eric Bollengier.
+- Apply patch for enhancing wait from Eric Bollengier. On can now:
+ wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
+ wait jobid=nn
+ wait jobuid=unique id
+ wait job=job-name
+- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
+ Job Level, only during JobInit event.
+26Feb06

+- Implement pulling Volume from Scratch Pool if the
+ Volume is in the autochanger.
+- Implement additional command arguments for update Volume.
+
+Changes to 1.39.5
+22Feb06
+- Back port changes to 1.38.5
+- Fix recycle SQL for StorageId.
+- Fix misplaced quote in mtx-changer script.
+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 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

+ 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 John Kodis
+ <kodis at comcast.ne>.

+ 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:
-20Dec05
+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
+ 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.
+- Fix seg fault in exit of acquire when canceling a job --
+ reported by Wolfgang Denk
- Pull in latest reservation system changes from 1.38
- Make .messages command always print messages regardless
of the automessages flag.
