Technical notes on version 2.1
General:
+08Aug07
+kes Modify most of dird/msgchan.c to use bsock class calls rather than
+ bnet calls -- no functionality change.
+07Aug07
+kes Modify the Verify output to specify if files are missing on
+ the Volume(s) or disk. Fixes confusion in bug #916.
+kes When more than one Volume is read in a migration job, the last
+ Volume bytes reported are from the last read volume rather than
+ the last written volume. Fixed. This fixes bug #910.
+kes Fix display of Recycle flag after update volume=foo recycle=yes.
+ It previously printed New Recyle flag is: no. This fixes bug
+ #917.
+06Aug07
+kes Correct seg fault when switching tape drives during restore.
+kes Commit uid_gid_name.c (replacement for idcache.c), but will not
+ be used until after 2.2.0 release.
+04Aug07
+kes Remove fnmatch() in SD that permitted wild card specifications.
+ This fixes bug #914.
+31Jul07
+kes Fix %g in filename returned by SQL for browse tree reported by
+ Dirk.
+kes Fix configure so that it puts config.out in the cwd rather than
+ in src/qt-console
+kes Attempt to fix the locking problem reported by Eric in bug #906.
+kes Make berrno class to leave errno unchanged after constructor call.
+kes Make bnet_server use the heap rather than the stack to allocate
+ its socket fd pointers to avoid a crash at termination. Problem
+ reported by Ryan Novosielski and bugs pointed out by Martin Simmons.
+30Jul07
+kes Create new depkgs and depkgs-qt separating the qwt out of depkgs
+ and putting it in depkgs-qt along with Qt4.3.
+29Jul07
+kes Rework code in acquire.c that switches drives for reading when
+ the Media Type does not match. This should fix bug #906
+28Jul07
+ebl Fix a director segfault during job setup #907
+kes Correct seg fault in postgresql when first operation returns no
+ rows. Fixes Dirks File browser problem seg fault with bat.
+25Jul07

+ old retention.
+16Jul07
+kes Tweaked Win32 installer to remove temp conf files at uninstall time.
+ This should fix bug #842. Made a note to look at removing the temp
+ files at the end of the install.
+kes Add ability to mount and unmount a file device providing it is
+ marked as being removable and has the appropriate mount and unmount
+ commands defined in the Device resource. This fixes bug #830.
+kes When applying a storage override, release all previous storage
+ definitions rather than just prepending the new storage.
+ This should prevent a good deal of confusion.
+14Jul07
+kes Implement ./configure search for qwt libraries.
+13Jul07
+kes Disable posting the WM_CLOSE message in KillRunningCopy of the
+ Win32 FD. This should fix bug #893.

+ Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru> for the AIX platform.
+kes Make arguments to get_scratch_volume() in same order as other
+ such calls.
+kes Rework the prune_volumes() subroutine so that after purging and
+ no volume found in desired pool, it will check for a scratch
+ volume. This prevents recycling the whole scratch pool.
+kes Add code to status storage to print boffset_t (largefile support).
+11Jul07
+kes Move qwt (Graphics libarary for Qt4) to depkgs.
+kes You now need a --with-qwt=<dir> to be able to build bat.
+kes Update src/win32/cats/bacula_cats.def to include the new
+ db_get_query_dbids() call on Win32.
+07Jul07

+ handle creating and passing back a list of DBIds.
+
+Release 2.1.24 beta
+03Jul07
+kes Start work on new more efficient DBId subroutine. First use
+ will be for recycling volume to Scratch inchanger.
+kes Increase number of JobIds in pruning from 1000 to 10000.
+ This to be replaced by above routine.
+kes Begin implementation of building Qt4 on Win32.
+kes Correct typo in fix I added for bad TLS shutdown.
+kes Pull 2.0.3 patches into patches directory.
+kes Update Release notes. Include qt-console in line count.

+30Jun07
+kes Integrate patch from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru> that fixes
+ bug in migration code where a job that spanned two volumes
+ was migrated twice.
+29Jun07
+kes Implement new BST_DESPOOLING blocked state. Change from locking
+ during despooling in SD to blocking. This means that other threads
+ can work with the device structure, in particular the reservations
+ system while despooling.
+28Jun07
+kes Fix return in reservation message queue that missed clearing
+ the jcr lock (implemented 26Jun07 below).
+kes Rename a number of dev methods to make locking function names
+ a bit clearer.
+kes Document locking in lock.c. Move lock structures to new file
+ lock.h.
+26Jun07
+kes Move reservations message lock to lock jcr only this
+ fixes bug #861.

+kes Fix HAVE_BATCH_INSERT to be HAVE_BATCH_FILE_INSERT, pointed
+ out by Eric (my typo).
+ebl Fix configure.in to get batch mode enable
+kes Return correct string from authenticate.cpp in bat when connecting
+ to Dir.
+kes Apply patch suggested by Frank Sweetser to fix bug #888 --
+ spurious line drops when using TLS.
+kes Do not file reparse points when restoring a file that already
+ exists -- Win32.
+24Jun07
+kes Implement Windows reparse points -- similar to directories, but
+ we do not descend into it. This is a first cut. They seem to
+ be backed up, but restore is not yet tested.
+kes Remove restore_blocking in tls code when shutting a socket to leave
+ it in blocking mode. Hopefully this will fix the encryption bug
+ reported by Frank Sweetser.
+kes When opening a file for backup, tell the OS that we are going to
+ read it sequentially -- optimization.
+kes Change variable names in authenticate_director() to not conflict
+ with member names in bat. Caused great confusion with compiler,
+ but no warnings.
+23Jun07
+kes Queue openssl error messages in case of comm problem.
+kes Do shutdown() call if socket terminated.
+kes Remove some duplicated code in tls.c
+kes Move more of the bsock member variables into private and access
+ them with methods.
+kes Add Frank Sweetser's tls-test to the regression suite.
+22Jun07
+kes Add Swedish sv.po file
+21Jun07
+kes Don't print clock skew message in FD if less than 3 seconds diff.
+kes Add a bit of VSS info to status client.
+kes Implement a first cut of Vista VSS, using Win2003 code.
+
+Release: 2.1.20 beta
+20Jun07
+kes Fixed bug #886 (multidrive autochanger: SD doesn't use drive with
+ loaded tape but uses first drive).
+kes Fixed bug #807 Restore encrypted backup failed on Windows 2003
+ This was indeed a Win32 issue.
+19Jun07
+kes Simplify search of autochanger for in-use Volume.
+kes Fix exit condition of check for in-use volume. 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.
