Technical notes on version 2.3
General:
+26Sep07
+kes Add retry for opening batch db if it fails.
+kes Suppress extra error messages during batch insert failure.
+kes Add jcr to timer packets so if killed message can be sent to job.
+kes Add JobId to all Dmsg() output.
+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.
+kes Separate batch init error messages.
+kes Make SD code that contructs attribute insert check string lengths
+ more carefully.
+kes If Dir gets an error during inserting attributes, cancel SD.
+ This reduces unnecessary error messages.
+24Sep07
+kes Correct search boolean for getting Volume info
+ebl Cleanup batch code.
+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
+ calls to the Director asking about volumes.
+23Sep07
+kes Turn off some code when batch insert not enabled.
+kes Edit FD name in connect error messages.
+kes Rework the reservation system to take into account that the Director
+ might give us a Volume that is different from the current one being
+ used, and to ensure that we don't exceed Maximum Volume Jobs.
+ This fixes (mostly) bug #947 ' Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 produces
+ fatal error with multiple jobs running'
+kes Add more debug code in reservation system.
+kes Implement maxvol-test to check bug #947.
+22Sep07
+kes Add code to handle tray monitor separated from Win32 FD.
+kes Fix display of Win32 tray monitor after reboot. Fixes bug #952.
+20Sep07
+kes Add missed return in fixing verify bug -- trunk only.
+ebl Fix a command parser issue causing a director segfault.
+kes Fix ANSI tape labeling. Fix restoring ANSI labeled Volumes.
+ This fixes bug #954.
+kes Increase the max block size to 4MB fixes bug #957.
+kes ERABT if user sets min block size > max block size. Fixes bug #956.
+kes Apply 2.2.4-poll-mount fix, that resolves bug #908 where a tape
+ is not properly mounted (recognized) during a poll.
+kes Apply 2.2.4-verify patch that resolves bug #958. A Verify catalog
+ Job that has differences reports Verify OK.
+ebl Fixes #955 bug seg fault in Dir introduced with regexwhere relocation.
+17Sep07
+ebl Add an option to operate on all pools with update vol parameters.
+ This complete the project 20. Patch from Nigel Stepp.
+ebl Add history support to bconsole when using readline.
+ Using Ctrl-D to exit doesn't update .bconsole_history
+kes Modify new volume algorithm to use max MediaId for generating next
+ volume number rather than the count of Volumes. This should essentially
+ eliminate the failure rate if some volumes were deleted. Bug #921.
+kes Begin implemention of Optimize Job Scheduling.
+kes Implement restore callback that Dirk and I agreed on for bat
+ restore. This fixes bug #928. Restore of backup of zero files fails.
+kes Fix SQL Catalog logging which broke with new db_escape_string
+ calling sequence.
+14Sep07
+kes Fix bacula_cats.def for new db_escape_string().
+kes Increase size of name string when FD making connection to SD.
+ May fix bug #953. FD->SD connection failure.
+13Sep07
+kes Add code to help Dan debug 2drive-incremental-2disk test.
+kes Add code to try to fix bug #908.
+kes Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
+ file to always be deleted.
+kes Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
+ This fixes bug #950.
+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.
+kes Fix db_escape_string() for MySQL which did not compile.
+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.
+dvl Pass jcr and db into db_escape_string() to enable better escaping
+ of strings
+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
+ TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
+kes Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
+ program.
+kes Move patches into patches directory.
+11Sep07
+ebl Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works
+ as expected.
+09Sep07
+ebl Using "m" in bconsole will show messages like before,
+ and not memory usage.
+kes Fix bug #935, and probably also bug #903 where files were not
+ restored. MediaId was not properly set in JobMedia record after
+ a Volume change.
+08Sep07
+kes Suppress chown and chmod error messages if the FD is not running
+ as root.
+07Sep07
+kes Apply Martin Simmons' patch that should turn off the new API usage
+ when batch insert is turned off allowing building on older
+ PostgreSQLs.
+kes Add ./configure search in qwt-qt4 for qwt package
+05Sep07
+kes Bacula is now free of 3rd party GPL copyrighted code!
+kes Remove idcache.c
+kes Add guid_to_name.c/h which replace idcache.
+kes Remove enh_fnmatch.c. Make code that references it use fnmatch.c
+04Sep07
+ebl Detect if new PosgreSQL batch insert API is present.
+kes Correct incorrect mempool call causing Director crash. Occurs on
+ systems without va_copy().
+sb Update spec files for 2.2.1 release
+03Sep07
+kes Fix memory pool call in ua_output.c. bug #934.
+kes Replace fnmatch.c and fnmatch.h by modified BSD versions.
+ Add test program to fnmatch.c
+02Sep07
+kes Integrate patch to README.vc8 from
+ Hederer Jean-Sébastien <hedererjs@asperience.fr, had to manually
+ edit it to get it into Unix patch format.
+kes Implement mkpath.c to replace old FSF makepath.c

+ ./configure
+29Aug07
+kes Fix bug #921 by increasing the number of tries to create a new volume
+ from 11 to 100.
+kes Rework bmsg in ua_output to use va_copy() so that bvsnprintf()
+ can be called multiple times. Implement a version for machines
+ without va_copy() that gets a big buffer.
+25Aug07
+kes Integrate more portable zone offset code into bsmtp.c
+ Submitted by Attila Fülöp.
+24Aug07
+kes Fix bad SD->FD return status reported by

+23Aug07
+kes Fix (hopefully) bug #930 by doing a db_escape_string() on file
+ and directory names during restore of single file/directories.
+kes Add sanity checks to .sql command when string is empty. Hopefully
+ that will resolve Dirks Director crash.
+22Aug07
+kes Apply patch submitted by Martin Simmons that corrects a seg fault
+ in the bsmtp chat subroutine when debug is >= 10.
