+
General:
+03Apr08
+ebl Add statistics prunning with option and menu
+kes Separate unload_dev() from unload_other_device() in autochanger.c
+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.
+27Mar08
+kes Rework certain SD locking based on gdb tracebacks of deadlocks
+ sent by Eric. This code now uses only the volume_lock() rather
+ than the reservations lock when at EOM and acquiring a new
+ volume.
+kes Ensure only one exit point in several subroutines.
+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.
+kes Experimental implementation of switch_device in reservations.
+kes Implement FD version to allow easier protocol changes.
+kes Add Plugin Options string -- not yet passed to FD.
+kes Implement PluginOptions ACL.
+09Mar08
+kes Attempt to correct problems with restores with autochangers and
+ use counts going negative
+kes Rework SD status command and implement API for bat. Implements
+ header, runing waitreservation, devices, volumes, spooling,
+ and terminated status keywords.
+ .status storage=xxx <keyword>
+kes Clarify TLS error message by adding double quotes around name.
+kes Simplify SD/FD status code by putting api flag in STATUS_PKT
+kes Pass jcr to tls routines so debug messages can be handled better.
+kes Rework jobq resource allocation code, and possibly fix a bug
+ that caused reference counts to get out of sync.
+08Mar08
+kes Rename fd/dir plugin to use Bacula standard underscore.
+kes Plugin work -- bring dir up to fd level.
+kes Start implementation of VTL code
+kes Fix Win32 build after adding new cats subroutine.
+06Mar08
+kes First cut at Duplicate Job implementation.
+05Mar08
+kes Fix bugs in MaxFullInterval and Implement MaxDiffInterval.
+kes Start PluginOptions string, and refactor a bit of ua_run.c
+ebl Apply Allan patch that permit to reset recyclepool.
+04Mar08
+kes Test patch -- possible fix or improvement for bug #1053
+kes Refactor FD and SD status commands to permit new API code in
+ SD, and to fix Win32 build.
+kes Win32 build is now working.
03Mar08
+kes Implement 'MaxFullInterval' and start 'MaxDiffInterval' based on
+ some ideas in patch from Scott Bailey.
+kes Begin implementation of duplicate Job control.
+kes Fix some of Win32 build after recent additions.
kes Apply patch from Frank Kardel that implements 'honor no dump flag',
which causes the FD to detect whether or not the OS has the
honor no dump bit (*BSD systems), and if so, to skip backing up
kes Tweak plugin code.
17Feb08
kes Plugin debug code + tweak a couple bat dialog layouts
-16Feb08
-kes Apply Max Full Age patch submitted by Scott Bailey

14Feb08
kes Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include
proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs.
