Technical notes on version 1.39
General:
+
+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 1.39.24 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.
+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.
+28Sep06
+kes Print the Volume purged message only for real jobs to keep
+ from cluttering up the daemon messages.
+kes Lock the tape drive door while Bacula is using the device.
+kes Add back the 'No Jobs running' message to FD and SD status because
+ my regression script depends on it, and I'm too lazy to change the
+ scripts.
+kes Start using structure assignments (not too happy about it ...).
+kes Fix a bug in the tools Makefile that broke on Solaris.
+kes Unload any autochanger drive during a 'release' command.
+26Sep06
+kes Enhance error message when restoring without bootstrap file.
+kes Check restored size only for regular files.
+kes Store Python job level in job record in Dir.
+kes Add back code to open tape device nonblocking, but if rewind fails
+ release file descriptor.
+kes Modify acquire.c to first try autoloading the device. Also, ask operator
+ to mount tape if drive cannot be opened.
+rbn Made Windows service tray status windows resizable.
+rbn Fixed horizontal scrolling of text in status window.
+rbn Preserve horizontal and vertical scroll position while
+ updating. This prevents the display being reset to the
+ top line every 5 seconds.
+rbn Fix Windows cross-compile compatibilty problems with
+ *nix variants such as OS X without the zic command.
+rbn Eliminate dependency on man2html.
+25Sep06
+kes Update src/win32/dll/bacula.def for change in BPIPE definition for
+ Win32 build.
+kes Fix a compiler warning in compat.cpp
+kes Change strcpy to bstrncpy in compat.cpp
+kes Remove some broken code in bdb_list.c
+kes Fix, hopefully the last, ACL problem in the restore command.
+kes Update the README.mingw32
+kes Add new version of upgrade-win32-client.txt to examples directory.
+ Submitted by Michel Meyers.
+kes Print an INFO message in the job report when a Volume is marked Purged.
+rbn Fixed handling of external program and script execution
+ so that the format of the command line is more flexible.
+ Now executable path names containing spaces are translated
+ to the equivalent short name automatically. The result is
+ passed to cmd.exe with the quotes removed.
+24Sep06
+kes Apply the recycle patch from Richard Mortimer.
+kes Convert a few if statements in dev.c to switch statements.
+kes Start using print_errmsg instead of bstrerror().
+kes Print a job message in SD when a job is marked to be canceled.
+23Sep06
+kes All code added back. Fixed block.c read/write to loop only 3
+ times. This apparently keeps the OS from crashing (at least
+ most of the time).
+kes The kernel bug still persists. Backup something then immediately
+ do a bscan on the same tape, and the kernel will crash.
+kes Simplifed tape open(). It no longer uses nonblocking mode, which
+ means that opening with no tape loaded will probably take at least
+ 6 minutes before an error is reported.
+kes Do not use MTSETDRVBUFFER if not running as root. Do a MTRESET
+ when doing set_os_device_parameters.
+kes Report open error in mount.c
+kes Remove all .exe files from the installer directory on make clean.
+20Sep06
+kes Start adding back removed code.
+kes Back out a number of changes because backups to tape crash my
+ system.
+kes Remove the inetd code from the File daemon.
+18Sep06
+kes Add -c option to pg_dump so that it initializes tables when
+ restored.
+kes Fix FirstWritten time on Volume to be obtained from SD so that
+ it is the actual time the volume was first written.
+kes Minor Makefile changes.
+kes Handle EBUSY during read(). Improve how EBUSY is handled in write().
+ebl Add yes keyword to prune/purge command
+16Sep06
+kes Correct a test in block.c that prevented restore of a DVD from
+ looking at the last part in the spool directory.
+kes Make some error messages clearer mostly by using the word DVD
+ in the message. Improve infor message in read_record for DVDs.
+kes Remove DVD kludges in dircmd.c label/relabel.
+kes Move the dvd relabel code from dircmd.c into
+ write_new_volume_label_to_dvd() adding a relabel argument.
+kes Rewrite the truncate_dvd() code to be much simpler and
+ more logical. First blow away any spool part, then create a
+ new empty part and write to the DVD.
+kes Rewrite the can_write_on_non_blank_dvd() code making it
+ only ensure that no valid data is on the DVD -- i.e. it
+ can be overwritten.
+15Sep06
+kes Minor Makefile fixes.
+kes Put attach_dcr_to_dev in a subroutine.
+kes Make attaching/detaching to/from a device use a flag and
+ only detach if actually attached.
+kes Add dvd-simulator.in to scripts directory and add to configure.
+kes Fix code in acquire.c that checks fd != 0 to use dev->is_open().
+ This could be a cause of a number of drive reservation problems.
+ Note, this code is now in attach_dcr_to_dev().
+kes Suppress doing Volume updates if it is a system job. This should
+ prevent the DVD label blocking.
+kes Clear the freespace ok flag in a couple of strategic places.
+14Sep06
+kes Put removing zero sized spool part file in subroutine and
+ call from release_device().
+kes Add Richard's patch for relabel to dircmd.c, but save and restore
+ dev Volume name.
+kes Rework a lot of subroutines in dev.c to take dcr as an
+ argument. This is done to eliminate the usage of attached_dcrs
+ in lseek().
+kes Change truncated_dvd to blank_dvd, which seems more suitable.
+kes Apply most of Richard Mortimer's truncate patch.
+kes Create lseek() method for DEVICE that takes dcr as an
+ argument. This is to eliminate the use of attached_dcrs in
+ lseek(). The calls to lseek_dev() must still be changed.
+13Sep06
+kes Apply Richard Mortimer's patches for printing an error
+ message in btape when a DVD is used, and to initialize traceback.
+kes Added error message to btape when trying to access a file.
+kes Move prototype of update_slots() to protos.h.
+12Sep06
+kes Add JobErrors, JobFiles, SDJobFiles, SDJobErrors, SDJobStatus,
+ and FDJobStatus to the Director Python variables.
+kes Make sure valid argument passed to str_to_utime() where Arno
+ had a seg fault.
+kes Apply Richard Mortimer's patch for bcopy, bextract, and bscan.
+ I.e. part of two different patches.
+11Sep06
+kes Modify disk changer to simulate some of the error conditions
+ of mtx-changer.
+kes Make sure the close() call in the SD tools is just before the
+ getchar() call.
+kes Implement dir_get_volume_info() in bls using the patch from
+ Richard Mortimer but call find_num_dvd_parts().
+kes Implement find_num_dvd_parts() that mounts and scans a DVD
+ and counts the parts.
+kes Move the omode code in open_dvd() up so that the cannot
+ write on blank disk can check can be bypassed for read mode.
+ Not yet implemented.
+10Sep06
+kes Disable normal data spooling for DVD writing which uses
+ a different spooling mechanism.
+kes Apply patch from Richard Mortimer to ensure that the number
+ of DVD parts is correctly updated.
+rbn Save installer details log in the Bacula directory as
+ install.log.
+rbn Add installer generation of client and storage templates
+ suitable for @inclusion on the director.
+rbn Mark previously installed Win32 components read-only since
+ deselection doesn't do anything.
+
+Version 1.39.22 beta released:
+08Sep06
+kes Fix logic error in handling error return from mtx-changer
+ script.
+kes Make status from SD aware of -1 (unknown) Slot status.
+kes At Eric's suggestion make both the 'slots' and 'drive' commands
+ to the Storage daemon work even if the drive is busy.
+kes Make two separate Win32 menu links for starting bconsole and
+ wx-console in winbacula.nsi
+kes Apply DVD part_spooled patch from Richard Mortimer
+ richm@oldelvet.org.uk
+kes Put installer/Readme.txt into Win32 EOL format for Notebook.
+rbn Fixed problems migrating settings from previous releases in
+ Win32 installer. Add Readme.txt with an option to show it on
+ the installer Finish page.
+07Sep06
+kes Use get_catalog_resource() to open catalog database
+ to ensure that ACLs are respected and that user is
+ correctly prompted for database.
+kes Integrate multiple console/director patch from
+ Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
+ebl Add character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
+ You can use now 'WriteBootStrap = '/path/%c_%n.bsr''
+kes Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
+ in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console
+kes Restore DCR after VOL_NAME_ERROR in mount.c. Hopefully
+ this will fix bug #627 where Bacula eventually gets
+ confused about what Volume it wants.
+kes Add a new close_part() class in the SD to save the device
+ state around open/close_part/open for DVD writing. This
+ should fix the num_dvd_parts getting zeroed as reported by
+ Richard Mortimer.
+kes Apply patch from Richard Mortimer that correct edit code
+ for debug output of st_size.
+ebl Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan.
+ display data_len instead of data content (may be binary)
+06Sep06
+kes Add dev->close() in dir_ask_sysop_to_mount_volume() in
+ bcopy. Fixes bug #669 reported by Eric.
+kes Fix incorrect number of arguments in SQL statement in
+ sql_get.c as reported by Eric.
+kes Manual updates.
+kes Update examples directory.
+kes Remove unused variable in winservice.cpp
+kes Make Win32 make command build installer.
+rbn Add new Install Type page, used to select between Automatic
+ and Custom installs. Automatic installs only prompt for
+ configuration items that can't be reasonably defaulted.
+rbn Added Bacula logo to page headers.
+rbn Added Upgrade support
+ - Configuration and component selection are migrated from
+ pre-1.39 installs.
+ - Configuration of upgraded components is preserved and
+ not prompted for
+ - Configuration of new components is handled according to
+ the Automatic / Custom selection.
+ - Component selection is defaulted to previously selected
+ components.
+rbn Installation of Server components is disabled on
+ Windows 95, 98 and ME.
+rbn Added URLs for support, info and upgrades to Bacula entry
+ in Add/Remove Programs.
+rbn Added Version info to Bacula entry in Add/Remove Programs.
+04Sep06
+kes Correct dvd code that breaks tape labeling.
+kes Implement Enabled on update slots.
+02Sep06
+kes When doing a label, pass the VolBytes back to the Director,
+ which puts it in the catalog.
+kes Print an error message if the user attempts to prune an
+ archived Volume.
+kes Need to start using %ld when sscanfing 32 bit values.
+kes Update the free
+kes Correct the counting of VolCatBytes for DVDs.
+kes Add code to mount.c to require that VolCatBytes corresponds to
+ what is actually found when doing an append.
+kes Update freespace only after writing on the DVD.
+kes Remove code that blows away the current part in the spool file.
+01Sep06
+kes Apply new dvd-handler patch from Richard Mortimer.
+kes Tweak so that debug level 20 shows only DVD commands.
+kes Correct spooled_part flag in dev.c close() so that it is cleared
+ when the spool file is deleted or does not exist.
+kes Print part number in read_records when eof hit (restore).
+rbn Installer default changed to start services on new install.
+31Aug06
+kes Make find with no args in tree restore return error rather than
+ stopping the selection. Fixes bug #665
+kes Rework DVD writing to ensure that the last part is written
+ on open_next_part when dealing with a spool file.
+kes Correct the lseek_dev() routine to handle end point correctly
+ (bug introduced by me).
+kes Allow part number to exceed num_dvd_parts in lseek_dev().
+rbn Change make_session_key on Windows to use WIN32 APIs to produce
+ a better seed.
+rbn Add new tool scsilist.exe which displays the changer, tape and
+ CD/DVD (1394, SCSI, SATA, ATAPI) devices and the information required
+ to add them to bacula-sd.conf.
+30Aug06
+kes Apply dvd-handler patch from Richard Mortimer.
+kes Apply dvd error check patch from Richard Mortimer.
+kes Apply bpipe race patch from Richard Mortimer.
+kes Rework how DVD labels are handled and set append only
+ when part > num_dvd_parts.
+27Aug06
+kes Rework many features of DVD writing and reading. Added many error
+ messages. Most importantly changed part to represent the current
+ part number base zero. This makes current DVD writing incompatible
+ with previous version.
+26Aug06
+kes Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir.
+kes Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
+ the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
+ path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
+ over where users can restore files. This is untested.
+kes Modified message to add a ? (as in loaded?) when querying the autochanger
+ for what Slot is loaded.
+kes Fixed the use of Slot, so that is more correctly maintained, thus
+ eliminating unneeded duplicate calls to determine what Slot is loaded.
+25Aug06
+kes Install man pages with 'make install'
+kes wx-console crashes because of differences between Bacula and wxWidgets
+ malloc()/free(). Tweak wx-console to use bmalloc()/bfree() for Bacula
+ calls.
+kes correct improper indenting in wx-console/console_conf.c
+kes update wx-console header copyrights
+kes Fix bug #658 where wx-console mangles file/directory names containing
+ commas.
+24Aug06
+kes Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
+kes Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work.
+kes Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
+kes Remove obsolete del_MAC sql command.
+kes Ensure that bscan creates Volumes with Enabled=1.
+
+Version 1.39.20 beta released:
+22Aug06
+kes Correct missing Client table reference in SQL pointed out by
+ Marc.
+21Aug06
+kes Fix Win32 build (new entrypoint, start baculafd).
+20Aug06
+kes Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio.
+kes Print JobIds to be migrated in Job Report.
+kes Add additional user supplied notes to the messages part of
+ bacula-dir.conf concerning multiple email addresses.
+kes Fix an incorrect comment pointed out by a user in dvd_handler.in
+kes Add more recent Feature requests to Projects file.

kes Do not unload autochanger when doing a list command -- basic code
from Eric Bollengier.
-07Aug06
+12Aug06
+rbn Reworked the MinGW32 build-dependencies script, it has been renamed
+ to build-depkgs-mingw32. It now handles two options -h to display
+ help and -C to reextract the source and apply the patches. The -C
+ option is useful for updating the source after new patches are
+ released.
+rbn Moved the 3rd party package URLs to a separate file External-mingw32.
+ This allows updating to new versions without having to modify the
+ script and makes it easier to figure out which packages and which
+ versions are used.
+rbn Added a new script build-depkgs-msvc.cmd which does the same thing
+ as build-depkgs-mingw32 except they are built using Microsoft Visual C
+ and placed in the depkgs-msvc directory. There is also an
+ External-msvc file to describe the packages.
+08Aug06
+rbn Fix Windows cross-compile compatibilty problems with FreeBSD.

custom of silently converting all manpages to bzip2 format just before
the final packaging step.
