Technical notes on version 2.1
General:
+10May07
+kes If time diff between DIR and FD is more than 600 seconds convert
+ INFO message to WARNING.
+kes Implement heap size display in status for all daemons.
+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.
+kes If SD is waiting for FD to connect during cancel, wake up the
+ thread.
+kes Fix fsf code so that errno is correctly reported.
+kes Apply migration patch (with changes) from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru>
+08May07
+kes Make lack of Pool directive in Job an ERROR_TERM rather than FATAL
+ so that Bacula doesn't later stumble into a seg fault.
+kes Use the term Restore Client in the restore Job report.
+kes Merge patch from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru> that preserves
+ the original job's FileSetId.
+kes Merge patch from Sergey Svishchev <svs@ropnet.ru> that implements
+ spooling in migration jobs. Not yet tested.
+kes Merge patch from Jorj Bauer <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> that implements
+ reading conf file from a pipe. However, do it with open_bpipe()
+ rather than popen. Not yet tested.
+07May07
+kes Fix an ugly bug where the VolCatBytes were getting updated
+ during a restore.
+kes Implement bconsole memory command that prints current memory
+ 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.
+06May07
+kes Start implementing bstrerror() in place of strerror().
+kes Stripping path -- seems to work.
+04May07
+kes Prevent door and port files from being restored (mostly
+ Solaris stuff).
+kes Free an unreleased buffer in compat code.
+kes Change console Job name from *Console* to -Console- to eliminate
+ Win32 filename problems. Put Win32 path separator when creating
+ Console file. This fixes bug #846.
+kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
+ implemented.
+kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
+ structure.
+kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
+ to force Win32 error message.
+03May07
+kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
+ but nothing is done with it yet.
+kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
+ library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
+ so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
+ messages.
+kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
+kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature
+ code.
+02May07
+ebl Use only POSIX regex instead of GNU regex in breg.c for
+ File relocation. It fix broken freebsd compilation.
+kes Convert all other Dir files to use new ua class message
+ routines for bat.
+kes Tentative fix for missing digest signature in bug 807.
+kes Correct handle problem in new win32_ftruncate routine.
+kes Convert ua_purge.c and ua_update.c to use new ua class
+ message routines for bat.
+29Apr07
+kes Correct incorrect installation of LICENSE in Win32 installer.
+kes Display LICENSE at the beginning of the Win32 install.
+kes Attempt to correct the need for the png files to be installed
+ for bat.
+kes Reapply my bat.conf install script in qt-console. I think I
+ editted bat.pro instead of bat.pro.in and it was lost.
+kes Apply CentOS patches someone sent me. Checks for /var/run/subsys,
+ the /var/lock/subsys for subsysdir. Also corrects typos in the
+ doc.
+28Apr07
+kes First cut update job.
+kes Correct configure to include qmake of src/qt-console directory.
+26Apr07
+kes Make restore job yes/mod/no print in one command so GUI works.
+kes First cut implementing backup and restore client.
+kes Correct editing in Verify output that caused a seg fault.
+25Apr07
+kes Insure that bat.conf is not overwritten during installation.
+kes Fix important bug in db_sql_query() in mysql.c. It was introduced
+ while I was implementing migration in March 2006 !
+24Apr07
+ebl Cleanup file relocation, using char *RegexWhere instead of
+ char *where + bool where_use_regexp
+kes Update some manpages and add bat manpage.
+kes Make a first cut at converting bacula.spec.in for bwx-console
+ and bgnome-console.
+kes Apply patch from John Goerzen to add hostname as fourth argument
+ to make_catalog_backup script.
+kes Fix typos I introduced into bsmtp.c
+kes Make pm_strxxx() routines handle input of NULL pointer. This
+ is to protect from NULL pointers returned from SQL databases.
+kes Correct typo in bacula-sd manpage as pointed out by John Goerzen.
+kes Add more debug to FIFO code -- fix fifo regression test.
+23Apr07
+kes Implement posix_fadvise in FD, and for reading spool files in SD.
+kes Add thread timer to bnet_connect() to break from OS if wait time
+ expires.
+22Apr07
+kes Update Win32 build to include new files, new symbols, and
+ renamed files.
+kes Implement socket level heartbeat (tcp_keepidle)
+ebl Commit File relocation patch
+kes Make bat have 'make install' target.
+kes Warn during install if old gnome-console binary found.
+kes Warn during install if old wx-console binary found.
+kes Add -8 option to bsmtp command line to add content type utf-8.
+ Fixes bug #809. (Character coding problem in bsmtp).
+kes If < is found in target (from, to, cc) then do not enclose the
+ target in < > in bsmtp. Fixes bug #772 (malformed address).
+kes When printing certain items in dbcheck, stop after 300000.
+ Fixes bug #822. (dbcheck loops).
+kes Incorrect status in Dir after waiting for mount with poll set.
+ Fixes bug #825.
+21Apr07
+kes Extend idea of Prefer Mounted Volumes to mean a volume about
+ to be mounted.
+kes Print waiting to reserve a device every 5 mins.
+20Apr07
+kes Don't call close_part in label.c if tape and relabel.
+kes Don't free volume if busy in close() -- should help with
+ bug 801.
+ebl Fix #824 RunScript bug (After script could be execute twice)
+ Now, Before Script can use RunsOnSuccess and RunsOnFailure options
+ By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
+ Add a regression script to test RunScript
+19Apr07
+kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
+ on Solaris.
+18Apr07
+kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
+ deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
+ in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
+kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
+ unique.
+kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
+ more Bacula unique.
+14Apr07
+kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
+ <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
+ It implements:
+ The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
+ an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
+ A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
+ in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
+ of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
+ have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
+ form client_123.
+kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
+kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
+kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
+kes Add more debug code in reservations.
+kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
+kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
+kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
+kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
+kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
+ is properly initiated.
+12Apr07
+kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
+kes Tweak new Volume code.
+11Apr07
+kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
+ executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
+ should be enclosed in double quotes.
+kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
+ it should normally be off in a production system.
+10Apr07
+kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
+kes Implement SD lock debug code.
+kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
+ is now owned by the device.
+04Apr07
+kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
+ resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
+ tape conflicts described in bug 801.
+03Apr07
+kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
+kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
+02Apr07
+ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
+kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
+ recent 2.1.x change.
+01Apr07
+kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
+kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
+kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
+kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
+31Mar07
+ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
+ it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
+ The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
+ each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
+ 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
+ error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
+30Mar07

+ --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
+kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
+29Mar07
+kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
+kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
+ formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
+ the code.
28Mar07
kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
