Technical notes on version 1.39
General:
-02Sep06
+13Nov06
+kes Replace () by {} in configure.in for proper HP configuration.
+kes Shorten some lines over 80 characters in filed/backup.c
+kes Cast sizeof() in filed/backup.c to avoid compiler warning.
+
+Version 1.39.28 released:
+12Nov06
+kes Change error message 'illegal' to 'invalid' -- bug #707
+kes Add rather primitive device resource deadlock detection in
+ the job queue handler. It detects the same read and write device
+ for migration and cancels the job.
+kes Start adding a unique_dbid_hander() routine in migration to avoid
+ duplicate mediaids and duplicate jobids.
+kes Add patch from bug #708 to permit relative paths such as ../xxx
+ in the restore tree routine.
+kes Add Eric Bollengier's patch to reduce locking time in the SD after
+ despooling, and thus many jobs finish faster.
+kes Correct locking order of reservations lock and device mutex in
+ reserve.c -- this should correct Arno's deadlock that occurred
+ when doing mount/unmount at the same time a job is reserving a
+ drive.
+05Nov06
+rbn Fixed problems with encryption when combined with compression
+ or sparse files. Unfortunately this means that all previous
+ encrypted backups can't be restored.
+rbn Fixed problem in bfgets with Windows and Mac end of lines.
+rbn Fixed bug in Windows version of close_bpipe() that cause programs
+ like bsmtp() to hang waiting for the pipe to be closed. Fixed
+ binary file type problems in open_bpipe().
+rbn Fixed a number of bugs in the mysql DB scripts.
+03Nov06
+ebl Fix broken runscript on director. (RunBefore, RunAfter)
+ebl Use M_ERROR instead of M_FATAL in runscript.c
+31Oct06
+ebl Small fix src/dird/job.c to add JobErrors count to catalog.
+rbn Ignore UTF-8 marker at the start of .conf files.
+rbn Add stab2cv to 3rd party dependencies. This is a utility I
+ wrote that is licensed under the GPL and available on SourceForge.
+ It converts the stab debugging info generated by gcc into Codeview
+ format. Currently it just translates function names to global
+ symbols. This is sufficient to get reasonable stack traces from
+ Dr Watson and to look at minidumps.
+rbn Fix bug # 699 - winbacula client crashes whilerunning bat scripts.
+rbn Enable Windows XP look and feel for the tray icons and wx-console.
+rbn Add Windows specific FileSet example to bacula-dir.conf.
+rbn Reorganize Start menu so that documentation and configuration are
+ in subfolders.
+21Oct06
+rbn Change daemons and utilities so that if -c is omitted from the
+ command line AND there is no configuration file in the current
+ directory then the 'standard' configuration file (eg
+ /etc/bacula/bacula-*.conf) will be used. If the argument to -c
+ doesn't contain any path separators AND there is no configuration
+ file by that name in the current directory then the 'standard'
+ configuration file directory will be searched for a file by that
+ name.
+rbn Fixed restore on Windows so that backslashes as path separators works.
+rbn Add missing query.sql file to Windows installer.
+rbn Fixed Windows versions of catalog backup scripts.
+20Oct06
+kes Fix optional files in Makefile.in of src/filed that caused
+ a syntax error when using no optional files.
+15Oct06
+lf Fix a cosmetic bug in filed.c that caused spurious OpenSSL error
+ messages; there is no reason to attempt to load a private key.
+ from master key files.
+
+Version 1.39.26 released:
+12Oct06
+kes Apply the three patches from Richard Mortimer.
+ bacula-reposition.patch, bacula-tape-reopen.patch, and
+ bacula-eod.patch. This corrects tape positioning on older devices,
+ and also a problem with btape.
+kes Apply fix from bug report #696 where writing to a FIFO does not
+ work due to a dumb typo.
+kes Unlock the tape door before the file descriptor is released. This
+ should fix lots of somewhat subtle failures when using an autochanger.
+11Oct06
+kes Correct mtx-changer bug that I introduced in a recent commit, and
+ pointed out by Robert Nelson -- thanks.
+rbn Fix Windows' daemons so that messages print to stdout if not
+ running as a service.
+rbn Add daemon name to trace file name (eg bacula-dir.trace).
+rbn Fix environment variable expansion in directory names on Windows.
+rbn Fix autochanger support in fill command.
+rbn Update SQL scripts to match Unix versions.
+rbn Fix daemon usage displays.
+rbn Cleanup bacula-dir.conf template.
+rbn Install openssl.cnf so that the openssl.exe installed in the
+ Bacula\bin directory can be used to generate keys and
+ certificates for TLS and encryption.
+rbn Fix cleanup of spool files on Windows.
+rbn Remove /silent option from daemons on Windows. The new default
+ is the same as the old /silent. To enable the message boxes that
+ previously were suppressed by /silent you must add /debug instead.
+ NOTE: As a result of this change, the first time you upgrade from
+ a previous version of 1.39.x you will receive the message
+ boxes when the remove of the old services succeeds. This
+ is the same behaviour as when migrating from a version prior
+ to 1.39.0.
+ However, going forward, these message boxes will not appear on
+ upgrades or new installs.
+rbn Add new /debug option. This option enables the message boxes that
+ previously were suppressed by the /silent option. In addition the
+ daemons running as services will open a console window if this
+ option is used.
+rbn Fix bug with service not being removed on migrated installs. This
+ should correct those cases where the file daemon install was failing
+ when upgrading from versions prior to 1.39.x.
+08Oct06
+kes Turn on heap reporting in Dir with zero debug level.
+kes Send a message to the sys log when Bacula forces a SEG FAULT, and
+ send the same message to stdout.
+07Oct06
+kes Begin work on new GUI 'console'.
+kes Make configure look in non-standard MySQL library directory
+ for Solaris.
+kes Make mtx-changer automatically configure the autochanger wait
+ procedure for Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux. Previously, only Linux
+ was implemented.
+kes Correct drop_sqlite_tables.in script to not delete the database.
+kes When writing to a log file, close and reopen the file descriptor
+ if there is an error writing the file.
+kes Modify the autochanger loaded?, load, and unload commands to print
+ the full text of any mtx output if there is an error. Helps to
+ ease diagnosis of autochanger problems.
+kes Correct a few Win32 errno returns in the VSS code so that hopefully
+ a resonable Win32 error message will be printed.
+kes Convert a few strcat()... to bstrncat() in the Win32 code.
+06Oct06
+rbn Added Windows version of bsmtp.
+rbn Fixed path search for Windows so that Bacula\bin is automatically
+ searched for programs and scripts.
+rbn Fixed bugs in mtx-changer.cmd and made template bacula-sd.conf
+ Windows specific.
+
+Version 1.39.24 released:
+02Oct06
kes Apply dvd find volume patch from Richard Mortimer.
kes Eliminate the dvd specific mount routines using only the
dev->mount/unmount.
kes Make update_free_space a method of DEVICE and rename
update_freespace.
-01Sep06
+01Oct06
kes Require a messages command acl to be able to receive messages
in a console.
kes Add console, system, and scan job types in util.c.
