Technical notes on version 2.2
General:
+01May08
+kes Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
+ the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
+ bug #1083.
+kes Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
+ This fixes bug #1078.
+kes Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a
+ warning rather than an error.
+28Apr08
+ebl Fix SQL query in migration code
+19Apr08
+kes Force unload of volume when wrong volume mounted in SD.
+17Apr08
+kes Fix bat seg fault at termination.
+kes Add Bacula generated version to bat about box.
+
+Beta Release Version 2.2.10-b1
+16Apr08
+kes Permit multiple simultaneous restores -- experiment.
+15Apr08
+kes Backport development stream SD reservation system changes.
+ See below:
+===
+16Apr08
+kes Move final volume swapping code to DCR method and
+ call it from acquire_for_read().
+kes When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger.
+14Apr08
+kes Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the
+ same volume name twice in a row.
+13Apr08
+kes Tweak the swap Volume from one drive to another code so that
+ it now seems to work.
+kes Resolve several problems with recycling that broke the new
+ code (these problems are in 2.2.9 as well).
+kes Remove the volume lock when calling the sysop code.
+kes Don't mark a reserved volume with no writers as unused otherwise
+ jobs fail.
+12Apr08
+kes Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make
+ the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically
+ handling the responsibilities.
+11Apr08
+kes Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just
+ causes a seg fault in many cases.
+kes Cleanup releasing a volume and make it a DCR method.
+kes Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and
+ swapping volumes.
+10Apr08
+kes Tweak volume swapping code so it works.
+kes Correct name overloading in mount.c
+kes Replace released flag in VOLRES with reserved and add access
+ methods for the VOLRES class.
+kes Prevent volume from being released while being swapped.
+kes Refactor parts of stored/mount.c
+09Apr08
+ebl Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime
+ebl Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime
+ and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066
+kes Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c
+kes Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to
+ autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code.
+08Apr08
+kes Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job.
+kes Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking
+ the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by
+ another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it.
+===
+
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b7
+14Apr08
+kes Close bat console windows first to eliminate error message
+ from the notifier.
+kes Remove useless code in Scheduler that causes seg fault on
+ termination.
+kes Correct some SD catalog request error messages.
+kes Don't allow pruning of any running job.
+kes Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD
+ when reading past an EOS_LABEL.
+kes Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just
+ causes problems.
+kes Lock volumes when unreserving a device.
+kes Do not mark volume unused when recycling.
+kes When acquiring, don't mark volume unused if it is reserved (busy).
+
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b6
+06Apr08
+kes Eliminate ./configure warning on po directory
+kes Fix bug #1063, reuse of freed ptr in list nextvol.
+kes Release regex compile buffer in filed/job.c
+kes Add proper type of const char in sql_create.c
+kes Turn off debug in daemon termination routines
+kes Move free_volume_list() before devices are freed in stored.c
+kes Fix reference to uninitalized stack variables in bregex.c.
+ This should correct bug #1067.
+04Apr08
+kes Fix possible seg fault in SD when freeing a volume entry.
+02Apr08
+kes Apply patch from bug #1069 that corrects spurious error messages
+ when ACLs enabled on SGI but no ACL exists.
+ebl Fix a storage deamon segfault at debug level 500.
+
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b5 -- not released
+
+Beta Release Version 2.2.9-b4
+01Apr08
+kes Re-enable code to remember last volume mounted on a non-tape
+ Autochanger.
+kes Add patch supplied in bug #1068 that fixes a SD crash when using
+ a Virtual autochanger.
+kes Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when
+ running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
+ <tih@hamartun.priv.no> for excellent analysis and testing.
+
+Beta release Version 2.2.9-b3
+27Mar08
+kes Rework certain SD locking based on gdb tracebacks of deadlocks
+ sent by Eric. This code now uses only the volume_lock() rather
+ than the reservations lock when at EOM and acquiring a new
+ volume.
+kes Ensure only one exit point in several subroutines.
+
+Beta release version 2.2.9-b2
+24Mar08
+kes Fix to initial tape drive open to release the volume name
+
+Beta release Version 2.2.9-b1
+22Mar08
+kes Fix to JobMedia fix.
+kes Fix bug pointed out by Peter Much that causes the StorageId to
+ be updated when reading a tape (during migration, it could have
+ been incorrectly set to the write StorageId).
+21Mar08
+kes Implement autostart scripts for Debian
+20Mar08
+kes Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program.
+19Mar08
+kes Massive commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9
+18Mar08
+kes Apply doc fix from bug #1062.
+kes Resolve crash and improper restore wx-console Win32 restore
+ GUI. Fixes bug #1065.
+kes Update Win32 wxWidgets to latest version.
+kes Attempt to do correct handling of Win32 mount points. Should
+ fix bug #1046.
+kes Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination
+ of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038.
+kes Add const to AIX prototype for initgroups()
+27Feb08
+kes Undo bug #1047 heap overrun fix as it is not correct.
+14Feb08
+kes Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include
+ proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs.
+10Feb08
+kes Fix bug #1047, which had a heap overrun when stripping certain paths,
+ and do not strip paths on symbolic links.
+kes Set catalog backup database and user name from values specified on
+ the ./configure line.
+ebl Apply patch to correct bug #1031, about wrong pool source information
+ in job report.
+
+Release Version 2.2.8
+25Jan08
+kes Apply patch from Martin to correct bug #1040, bscan sets existing
+ ClientId to zero.
+kes Fixed important spelling error in doc -- bug #1045.
+23Jan08
+kes Move initialization of read/write res lock earlier in the code.
+ This fixes the crash with a null conf file. This fixes bug
+ #1030.
+kes Redefine CURES in lib/parse_conf to be URES and move it all
+ into lib/parse_conf.c -- this responds to bug #1042, but does
+ not fix it. The fix is not to compile with FORTIFY_SOURCE.
+kes Backport fix de-referencing a NULL pointer in the scanner from
+ the trunk SVN. I don't think this was reported as a bug.
+
+Beta release Version 2.2.8
+09Jan08
+kes Re-enable the new job code editing (%f).
+08Jan08
+kes Fix bsnprintf for float point numbers. I broke recently when
+ parameterizing some variables. This fixes bug #1036.
+03Jan08
+kes Move Heartbeat documentation from Job to Director resource.
+ This fixes bug #1033.
+02Jan08
+kes Fix existing switch drive SD code to call autochanger to release
+ any old volume. This must be done to keep the autochanger from
+ releasing subsequently newly reserved volumes in doing a close().
+ This should possibly fix bugs #1032 and #1018.
+kes Apply big backport of current SVN SD code that corrects a number
+ of race conditions. This is a first step in fixing bug #1018.
+29Dec07
+ebl Fixes bug #1028 where "Selection Type" option was not usable
+ with JobDefs.
+
+
+Release Version 2.2.7
+24Dec07
+kes Partial back out (disabled) %f job code editing because it
+ does not build on Win32.
+kes Fix seg fault Frank Sweetser reports in regression testing
+ on his systems. The problem was that the original author of
+ bsnprintf.c did not take into account the side effects of
+ using ++x in the argument to a #define.
+14Dec07
+kes Apply patch from Michael Stapelberg <michael@stapelberg.de>
+ that implements double quoting include names in conf files,
+ and also allows piping input by having the first character
+ be a vertical bar (|).
+kes Apply patch from Bastian Friedrich <bastian.friedrich@collax.com>
+ that implement %f in RunScripts to pass the FileSet name.
+kes Skip leading | when lex input comes from a pipe as suggested
+ by Michael Stapelberg <michael@stapelberg.de>.
+13Dec07
+kes Apply patch for bsmtp Win32 daylight savings time fix supplied by
+ Nerijus Baliunas <nerijus@users.sourceforge.net>
+10Dec07
+kes This patch corrects a problem where the maximum concurrent storage
+ jobs counter gets out of sync during restore jobs causing jobs to
+ 'wait on max Storage jobs'. This patch fixes bug #1009.
+08Dec07
+kes Add new include to postgresql.c suggested by Marc Cousins so
+ that it compiles correctly with pgre version 8.3. Also fix
+ misuse of %x with pointer (should be %p).
+03Dec07
+kes This patch fixes bcopy so that it produces correct Volumes.
+ It fixes bug #1022.
+kes This patch eliminates spurious output to the console during a VerifyVolume
+ job that contains encrypted data. It fixes bug #1024.
+02Dec07
+kes This patch prevents the 'status dir' command from trying to use a scratch
+ volume and possibly moving it from one pool to another. This patch fixes
+ bug #1019.
+30Nov07
+kes Fix --archivedir addition to configure. Replace it with
+ --with-archivedir in configure.in This fixes the regression
+ test builds.
+kes This patch fixes bug #1012 where the job is canceled because
+ of Max Run Time exceeded when the job has not yet started.
+29Nov07
+ebl Apply Richard Mortimer patch that fixes #1016 when there are more than
+ one 'part' to write. Instead of each part being stored on disk,
+ written to DVD, then deleted from disk, all parts are written to disk,
+ and only the last is written and deleted from disk.
+27Nov07
+kes Correct typos in disk-changer.in
+25Nov07
+kes This patch fixes the status command to include the formating string for
+ JS_AttrInserting. It fixes bug #1021.
+kes This patch should fix the Mac OS X build problem on the latest
+ Darwin, where sys/types.h was not included correctly (apparently
+ due to a change in the Mac headers). The solution was to explicitly
+ ensure that it is defined for the ./configure.
+ This patch also has a rebuild of configure that includes the Debian
+ qt4 patch to check for qmake-qt4. This patch fixes bug #1020.
+kes This patch should ensure that queued messages to the console are
+ displayed as soon as possible. It should fix bug #1007, but has been
+ reported not to work.
+14Nov07
+kes This patch fixes the infinite loop when trying to increase the
+ maximum number of volumes in a Pool during the add command.
+ This patch fixes bug #1008.
+
+Release Version 2.2.6
+09Nov07
+kes Get fix for joblist bug in bat from trunk.
+04Nov07
+kes This patch fixes bug #1003 where putting the message output from

+ seems to show up only with postgresql (to be verified).
+02Nov07
+kes Fix bug #942 where lots of emails where generated when the heartbeat
+ interval was low and Bacula wanted a different tape from the one in
+ the drive.
+26Oct07
+ebl Apply 2.2.5-lastwritten.patch to fix the LastWritten field
+ which was updated during a restore (or a reading migration) bug #982
+24Oct07
+ebl Use qmake-qt4 instead of qmake when available (debian system).
+22Oct07
+kes Add a security warning to src/cats/make_catalog_backup.in indicating
+ that passing the password via the command line (arg 3) is insecure.
+ This responds to bug #990 (it doesn't fix it).
+kes Apply 2.2.5-postgresql-errors.patch
+kes Remove unneeded File table index on JobId, which is already
+ present as the first index of another multi-index.
+19Oct07

+kes Fix a crash in bat when it cannot connect to the Director for example
+ if the Director is not running.
