Technical notes on version 2.3
General:
+05Jan08
+kes Fix reserve_volume() so it doesn't release a volume in use
+ (i.e. a volume entry not marked released). This should be
+ the last part needed to fix bug #1018.
+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 fix bug #1018.
+kes Fail if attempting to get console input in batch mode. This
+ should help fail RunScript console commands that are incomplete.
+kes First cut implementing switch_drive() in SD (not actually called).
+31Dec07
+kes Implement first cut running console commands in a RunScript.
+29Dec07
+ebl Fixes bug #1028 where "Selection Type" option was not usable
+ with JobDefs.
+ebl Fixes bug #897 and bug #1005 where bacula doesn't display runscript
+ output in error.
+24Dec07
+kes Add new free_tls() entry point so that Win32 builds.
+kes Fix compile warning in src/lib/util.c
+kes Fix entry point for edit_job_codes() so that Win32 builds.
+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.
+kes Make SD protocol backward compatible with version 2.2.x.
+19Dec07
+ebl Fixes bug #1015 where bacula failed to restore acl to a socket
+ because Bacula no longer restores sockets.
+ebl Always use ignorecase fileset option on win32 FD.
+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>
+12Dec07
+kes Implement Plugin Directory and plugin events.
+11Dec07
+kes Implement a security enhancement: TLS authentication but no
+ encryption. Enabled by setting 'TLS Authentication = yes'.
+ Note when this is on, TLS encryption is turned OFF!
+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.
+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.
+01Dec07
+kes Add new include to postgresql.c suggested by Marc Cousins so
+ that it compiles correctly with pgre version 8.3.
+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.
+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
+db Remove extra data on estimate command in joblist for bat.
+04Nov07
+kes Cleanup of code in SD that sets the LastWritten date. This doesn't
+ really change anything, but is the beginning of doing it *right*.
+ To do it completely right the LastWritten date must be passed to
+ the SD, but it is not yet done.
+kes Minor tweaks to some bat restore SQL.
+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).
+kes Correct %x to %p in postgresql debug statement.
+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.
+25Oct07
+ebl Add new SD despooling attributes and Dir inserting attributes
+ job status codes in the catalog (Status table).
+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).
+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.
+kes Remove redundant INDEX (JobId) from File table in the trunk.
+ This fixes bug #992.
+kes Make explicit exception to GPL in LICENSE to permit linking
+ the Win32 FD with Microsoft VSS code.
+kes Apply the Solaris package patch from
+ Masopust, Christian <christian.masopust@siemens.com>
+kes Apply the patch to optionally add a timestamp in the debug output
+ submitted by Mariusz Czulada <manieq@wp.eu>.
+18Oct07
+ebl Use PQerrorMessage instead of PQresultErrorMessage in postgresql
+ backend (sql_strerror). Fixes bug #989
+16Oct07
+kes Apply Michael Short's <mdshort@gmail.com> Win32 regress patch.
+ It applied with no problems.
+kes Add PATH command to SunOS part of mtx-changer.in so that sed and
+ awk are on the path.
+kes Redirect stderror to stdin on mt status command in mtx-changer.in
+ since the status is returned on stderr on Solaris.
+kes Activate Close button on tray-monitor window. This fixes
+ bug #986.
+kes Check for NULL item in parse_conf.c before calling it. In the
+ case of Device, there is no item and this caused a seg fault when
+ Device appears in the conf file.
+kes Add a #define __CONFIG_H when including config.h in bacula.h. This
+ avoids pulling in config.h multiple times in some new code.
+12Oct07
+kes Fix spurious warning message printed when creating a volume with
+ a LabelFormat. This fixes bug #976.
+
+Release Version 2.2.5
+09Oct07
+kes Add JobId in place of Job name in all the Jmsg() output.

+04Oct07
+ebl Fix #969 where user can't change Replace option in restore menu.
+5ASep07
+kes Save jcr in thread specific data (tsd) for each thread.
+kes Make Dmsg() print JobId as -%u.
+kes Make Jmsg, Emsg, and others automatically pickup the jobid
+ for the thread if it exists.
+kes Remove old reservation debug jid code.
+kes Remove get_jcr_from_tid() from OpenSSL and tls code.
+ebl Add an option that permit to specify spool size in job
+ definition. (Applying patches/testing/spoolsize_per_job.patch).
+ You must upgrade SD and DIR at the same time.
+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 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.
+kes Eliminate more strerror() and replace with bstrerror().
+kes Remove BSD getopt and replace with unrestricted IBM version.
+kes Fix Win32 build for changed calling sequences.
+kes More tweaks to the mount volume routines to get everything

+ much easier to understand.
+kes Enhance btimer debug code.
+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.
+kes Add const char where needed (more to do). Remove temp debug code.

+kes Add JobId to all Dmsg() output.
+kes Put some FD auth code on dbglvl rather than fixed.

+ more carefully.
+kes If Dir gets an error during inserting attributes, cancel SD.
+ This reduces unnecessary error messages.

kes Correct search boolean for getting Volume info
-ebl Cleanup batch code.
+ebl Cleanup batch insert code. Probably fixes bug #965.
kes Back out one small change to the reservation system (reserving a volume).
kes Rework how a Volume is mounted. It is now much more intelligent and
will always attempt to use any mounted volume if possible and reduces
restore. This fixes bug #928. Restore of backup of zero files fails.

calling sequence.
+
+Release Version 2.2.4
