Technical notes on version 2.1
General:
+19Jun07
+kes Remove inappropriate my_postgresql_free_result() in db_close()
+ routine.
+kes Fix bad return in FD when encryption signature not found.
+ Probably caused a crash.
+kes Inhibit missing encryption signature error messages for
+ file types where no signature computed.
+kes Correct inverted check on autochanger in reservation system.
+kes Tweak debug code in autochanger reservation.
+18Jun07
+kes Add some additional locking in the cats directory in subroutines
+ that modify packet variables called from batch insert.
+kes Rework how dcrs are allocated. new_dcr() can now be called
+ with an existing pointer, and it will simply clean it up.
+ This allows the reservation system to test various different
+ devices, and will permit easy device changes.
+kes A bunch of changes all over to handle new new_dcr() calling
+ sequence.
+kes Work more on the Volume management in the SD. Remember Volumes
+ for tape drives and for autochangers (even virtual disk changers).
+kes When looking at the Volume list to reserve a drive, handle
+ autochanger names correctly by interating through the changer
+ devices. Also call the Director to see if a Volume is suitable
+ for the current job.
+kes Fix some bugs in bscan. Make sure all media records are written.
+ Make sure that valid JobMedia records are written for disk files.
+ Previously they were completely wrong.
+kes Move source tar files for depkgs-mingw32 to www.bacula.org so
+ that the URLs don't change and so that the developers will all
+ work off the same copy. Rebuild from scrach.
+kes Upgrade Win32 SQLite3 from 3.3.8 to 3.3.17.
+Release: 2.1.18 beta
+16Jun07
+kes Fix seg fault in FD from incorrect digest size.
+kes Fix argument to non-OpenSSL crypto.c subroutine.
+
+Release: 2.1.16 beta
+16Jun07
+kes Remove a few malloc()s from the encryption code.
+kes Use the class calls to bsock in filed/backup.c and restore.c in
+ place of the old bnet_xxx code.
+kes Implement code that does an on the fly calculation of the
+ signing digest during restore of encrypted files. It makes
+ a best guess at the algorithm, and if it is not correct, will
+ then revert to the old code which reads the file after it is
+ restored.
+kes Implement at least one missing crypto stream in stream_to_ascii()
+kes Apply patch from William <chowmeined@gmail.com> that fixes bug
+ #877 where a reload with bad syntax causes Dir to exit.
+
+Cut: 2.1.14 beta (not released)
+14Jun07
+kes Do not free a volume on a tape drive until another volume is
+ mounted and read, or the autochanger unloads the volume.
+ This should help the SD re-use volumes that are already mounted,
+ and should fix bug #886.
+kes Apply patch from user brettedgar that allows gnome2-console include
+ the OpenSSL libraries, and hence work with SSL. Fixes bug #885.
+kes Apply patch from Lucien Weller that fixes day of week calculation
+ because of DST flag problem. Fixes bug #887.
+10Jun07
+kes Move find_next_appendable_volume() to after acquiring a valid device
+ in reserve.c. This fixes bug #864 -- confirmed by reporter.
+09Jun07
+kes Unable to reproduce bug 872. However added additional testing for
+ integer.
+kes Bug #874 resolved by documenting SQLite limitations.
+kes Bug #882 resolved by documenting mtx-changer script for new drive code.
+kes Bug #881 resolved by removing typo in mtx-changer script.
+kes Made Frank Sweetser's wiki the official Bacula wiki with his
+ approval. Added a link to the wiki on the web page, and implemented
+ a backup from http://paramount.ind.wpi.edu
+08Jun07
+kes Fix update allfrompool to pass pool name.
+07Jun07
+kes Convert to pure GPL v2 license.
+kes Fix sscanf problems reported by Peter Buschman that caused
+ a bus error on Solaris.
+kes Rework (simplify) the select prompt in bat.
+kes Move get_jobid_from_tid() into lib and create a
+ get_jcr_from_tid().
+kes Use get_jcr_from_tid() to conver all tls Emsg() to Jmsg(). This
+ should definitely fix the problem of lost error messages in the
+ encryption code.
+kes Remove over zellous addition of FSFE copyright in a few eggxxx files.
+kes Eliminate tcpd.h from the project. Enclose the #include from the
+ library with extern C ...
+kes Add print of signal name when a signal is trapped.
+
+Release: 2.1.12 beta
+04Jun07
+kes Fix a seg fault in the PostgreSQL driver dereferencing a NULL pointer.
+03Jun07
+kes Implement SQLITE3_INIT_QUERY in version.h that can do an initial
+ query for SQLite3. Use it to set PRAGMA synchronous = OFF. This
+ makes SQLit3 run 30 times faster, though a bit less safe.
+kes Implement --with-batch-insert in configure and detection of thread
+ safe libraries. It is on by default, but turned off if no thread
+ safe library (e.g. SQLite 2) is available.
+02Jun07
+kes Fix Bacula PostgreSQL buffer overruns.
+kes Do better checking for NULL results returned from PostgreSQL;
+ implement retry for failed queries; clear results buffer after
+ failed query. Hopefully this will correct the PostgreSQL failures.
+01Jun07
+kes Implement algorithm to handle only one appendable volume with
+ Prefer Mounted Volumes = no.
+kes Fix a Bacula PostgreSQL bug dereferencing a NULL pointer
+ returned from a query.
+kes Make volume lock recursive.
+kes Implement an additional volume reservation algorithm that
+ starts by considering all reserved volumes then uses the
+ old brute force algorithm of searching the resources to
+ find a suitable device.
+kes Add new reservations debug code and refine the old code.
+kes Update the win32/dll/bacula.defs file.
+29May07
+kes Tweak reservations algorithm to permit a few more cases, i.e.
+ volume reserved, but on different drive, ...
+kes Enhance SD status to include Pool and Media Type for drive in a
+ more readable format (a bit longer).
+kes Fix PostgreSQL double free.
+28May07
+kes Minor refactoring of restore decryption code.
+kes Add code to smartall.c to detect double free of a buffer.
+27May07
+kes Add < > around %r in from field on mail command of bacula-dir.conf.in
+ so that bsmtp will create a correct email address (mailbox only).
+kes Modify 'memory' command so that the buffers are listed as 'In use'
+ to avoid confusion with Orphaned buffers.
+kes I reworked the OpenSSL include/lib flags to be handled in
+ the standard Bacula way, which should fix bug #863 concerning
+ non-standard OpenSSL libraries.
+26May07
+kes Implement Help Browser window for bat.
+kes Fix reload bug that reset StorageId to zero.
+25May07
+kes Fix TLS #ifdefing when TLS turned off.
+kes Ensure that when labelling a tape with Slot=0 that InChanger
+ is not set.
+kes Use DISTINCT to make MySQL and PostgreSQL uar_list_temp query
+ the same.
+kes Add StartTime to final uar_sel_jobid_temp query so that we can
+ add DISTINCT (required by PostgreSQL).
+kes Implement BSOCK authenticate_director() method. Eventually will
+ authenicate all daemons.
+kes Move several more functions into the BSOCK class.
+24May07
+kes Add code to tell the OS that we no longer need a cached
+ file that we were reading. In findlib/bfile.c. Also,
+ only cache files that we are reading. Thanks to
+ Tobias Oetiker <tobi@oetiker.ch> for the idea.
+kes Tweak to bsmtp to eliminate compiler warnings on Win32.
+kes Implement script to automatically generate cats and dll .def
+ files for Win32 dll.
+kes Update README.mingw32 to include new .def file generation.
+kes Correct typo in UTF-8 error message as reported by:
+ jhernandez <julianhernandez@gmail.com>
+kes Add additional sm_check() code on debug level 1.
+kes Set default debug level to 1.
+kes Trap SIGABRT in attempt to get traceback.
+23May07
+kes Reduce bat connect timeout from 30 to 15 seconds.
+kes More restructuring and implementing BSOCK class in place of
+ old bnet.c code.
+kes Remove a few unnecessary malloc() tests in crypto code.
+kes Turn off crypto calls for > 128 bits in crypto.c if HAVE_SHA2
+ not defined. Bug reported by Allan Black <Allan.Black@btconnect.com>
+kes Remove duplicate HAVE_CRYPTO definition in config.h.in
+22May07
+kes Fix Verify InitCatalog mysql_escape_string() trashing memory.
+ Make buffer bigger.
+kes Fix Verify InitCatalog. The attributes were not pointing to the
+ correct saved location.

+kes Attempt to fix MySQL db open memory loss (not successfull).
+kes Don't set SIGKILL and SIGSTOP neither can be trapped.
+kes Eliminate memory loss in MySQL (possibly other SQLs) during
+ Query. This looks like a MySQL but but by doing extra releases,
+ the memory goes away. This should fix bug #847.
+09May07
+kes When backup fails, cancel SD before waiting for sd termination.

+ thread.
+kes Fix fsf code so that errno is correctly reported.
+kes Apply migration patch (with changes) from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>

+ usage, plus smartalloc dump.
+kes Clarify some error messages in backup, admin, and migrate.
+kes Shrink label dialog to smaller size.
+kes Invert Cancel OK buttons on restore to be OK Cancel.
+kes More strerror() to bstrerror() conversions.
