Technical notes on version 1.39
General:
+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 Check restored size only for regular files.

wx-console in winbacula.nsi

two threads using the bsock structure.

volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
code.
kes Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
-kes Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
+kes Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
it is not an autochanger.
kes Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
kes Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
appear at the end of the job rather than mixted with the restore

kes Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
kes Landon merged his data encription changes into the HEAD
kes Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
+ 'list nextvol days=xx'
or
- "status dir days=xx"
+ 'status dir days=xx'
My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
the weekend.
