+ Technical notes on version 2.2
General:
+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_AttrInsterting. 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
+ a Verify job into the catalog results in a recursive loop. The problem
+ 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.

+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 Set default debug_level to zero. This corrects bugs #991 and #993.
+kes Fix a crash in bat when it cannot connect to the Director for example
+ if the Director is not running.
+16Oct07
+kes Activate Close button on tray-monitor window. This fixes
+ bug #986.

+ in back porting from 2.3.x
+03Oct07
+kes Backport almost 4000 lines of 2.3 code that fixes a number of bugs.
+ The details are included in the notes in this file.
+28Sep07
+kes Backport 2.3 code that fixes: it fixes incorrect or incomplete error
+ messages; it fixes a problem opening the SQLite3 database when multiple
+ simultaneous jobs were running; it fixes a bug with certain versions of
+ MySQL where batch inserts failed because of table name character case
+ (upper/lower) differences.
+kes Fix race condition that drops final block written to volume.
+ This happens in rare cases with multiple simultaneous jobs
+ when the Volume fills. This fixes bug #964. May be related
+ to bug #935 and possibly #903.
+27Sep07
+kes Fix FD->SD authorization failure, which was due to spurious
+ wakeups from a pthread_cond_timedwait(). Simply check the
+ predicate before continuing. This fixes bug #953
+dvl Add new configuration item --archivedir
+dvl Adjust regression tests to use tmp not /tmp. This will allow
+ multiple concurrent runs of the regression tests.
+28Sep07

+kes Remove BSD getopt and replace with unrestricted IBM version.
+kes Fix Win32 build for changed calling sequences.

+ Fixes bug #966.
+kes Put some FD auth code on dbglvl rather than fixed.
+kes Return insert attributes error message in db msg buffer to avoid
+ false error messages. Helps fix bug #966.
+kes Separate batch init error messages. Probably helps fix bug #966.
+kes If Dir gets an error during inserting attributes, cancel SD.
+ This reduces unnecessary error messages.
+24Sep07
+ebl Cleanup batch insert code. Probably fixes bug #965.
+23Sep07
+kes Turn off some code when batch insert not enabled.
+kes Edit FD name in connect error messages.

+kes Apply 2.2.4-poll-mount fix, that resolves bug #908 where a tape
+ is not properly mounted (recognized) during a poll.

+kes Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
+ trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
+ Fixes bug #906.
+kes Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
+ should fix virtually all cases of bug #920.
+12Sep07
+kes Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
+ have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
+ in bug #942, but not the main problem.
+kes Add code to cancel job in SD if FD connection fails. This should
+ fix bug #920.
+kes Add code in FD exit to prevent loops and a crash on FreeBSD.
+kes Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
+ by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
+kes Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using

+Release Version 2.2.3
+kes Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
+ program.
+09Sep07
