General:
+02Apr08
+kes Apply patch from bug #1069 that corrects spurious error messages
+ when ACLs enabled on SGI but no ACL exists.
+ebl Fix small segfault in bacula-sd when debug level is 500
+kes Modify run_program() and run_program_full_output() to use
+ call by reference for the results string. This corrects a long
+ standing problem where the address of the string may be changed
+ in the subroutine but not in the calling program.
+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.
+31Mar08
+kes Tweak hash algorithm for htable using Martin Simmons idea
+ for doing a circular shift.
+kes Remember what volume is in VTLs (previously turned off for
+ testing).
+kes Analysis of JobMedia records by Tom Ivar Helbekkmo <tih@hamartun.priv.no>
+ pointed out some problems in creating JobMedia records during
+ spooling with concurrent jobs. Fix the problem by updating the
+ start file position before despooling and generate a jobmedia
+ record at the end of despooling.
+28Mar08
+kes Fix handling of JobMedia records during spooling and when a
+ Volume is changed without actually writing data to the Volume.
+26Mar08
+kes Implement bsock code to permit locking. Use the new code in Verify
+ in the FD to prevent the heartbeat thread from disrupting the Verify
+ data sent to the Dir.
+kes Modify SD locking to eliminate locking the reservations system from
+ outside the system. Use the volume lock when getting media data
+ and reserving a new volume at end of media.
+kes Add Eric's volume_unused() fix to stored.c so that Volumes found
+ when SD starts are not locked into place.
+24Mar08
+kes Fix error compiling runscript code on 64 bit machines.
+kes Tweak Win32 mount point code.
+kes Fix a couple of bugs in the accurate code (bad sscanf, buffer not
+ cleared giving bad file estimate).
+kes Implement BIG_MALLOC in htable code. Runs 2.5 times faster for
+ 5 Million entries.
+22Mar08
+kes Keep Schedule run lists in order as suggested by
+ Bastian Friedrich.
+21Mar08
+kes Implement autostart scripts for Debian.
+ebl Implement upgrade catalog scripts.
+20Mar08
+ebl Apply jobstat patch for long term statistics. Have to implement
+ purge stats command and upgrade scripts.
+kes Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program.
+19Mar08
+kes Fix large number of JobMedia records reported by Eric Bollengier.
+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.
+16Mar08
+ebl Reduce memory usage for accurate backup, working only with ctime
+ and mtime. (not all Lstat field)
+ About 40MB for my linux system (400.000 files)
+14Mar08
+kes Add dcr->reserved_volume flag that allows us to release a volume
+ even if it is not vol->released. This allows maxvol2 to work when
+ Volumes expire and we are already writing to the device (i.e. a
+ volume is pulled out from under us by another job terminating after
+ we reserve the drive).
+13Mar08
+ebl Permit multiple command/console per runscript definition.
+ RunScript { command = /bin/true ; command = /bin/false ... }
+ebl Add RunsWhen = AfterVSS to runscript. You can execute a command
+ (restart an application) just after the VSS snapshot on windows.
+kes Don't zap dcr values during release_volume() as they might
+ have the next Volume to be mounted.
+kes Fix AIX prototype.
+12Mar08
+kes Second cut of drive switching during backup.
+11Mar08
+kes Fix Win32 build.
+kes Update Win32 version of wxWidgets to most recent version.
+kes Tweak Copy job details.
+kes Rework dir_find_next_appendable_volume to make a bit more effort
+ to find a suitable volume before giving up.
10Mar08
kes Make ask_sysop_to_create... to return if waken from wait.
This helps get out of blocked conditions.
