General:
+11Nov08
+ebl Add Plugin debug after a fatal signal.
+ebl Add db and rwlock debug after a fatal signal.
+10Nov08
+ebl Fix maxwaittime to fit documentation, this time is now counted
+ from the job start and group all wait periods.
+ebl Add tips for postgresql to improve performance when having
+ multiple batch insert at the same time.
+09Nov08
+ebl Remove extra debug for db lock.
+07Nov08
+kes Apply Riccardo's second patch that cleans up the #include
+ file order + a few Win32 particularities to make bat work
+ on Win32.
+ebl Add allow_transactions flag to mysql db backend.
+kes Apply win32-fixes patch from Riccardo that makes the Win32
+ bat more stable and faster (but still slow).
+06Nov08
+kes Fix bug with job name duplication if more than 60 jobs created
+ during a minute.
+kes Correct some bugs of cleanup in SD if the FD connection fails.
+ebl Add code to get more information after a fatal signal.
+05Nov08
+ebl Apply Bastian's patch that add spooldata=yes|no option
+ to run command.
+04Nov08
+ebl Fix bash shell to sh shell in database creation script
+02Nov08
+kes Fix orphaned jobs (possible deadlock) while pruning.
+kes Use jcr stored in bsock rather than searching in getmsg.c.
+ This results in about a 5% speed improvement with four
+ concurrent jobs.
+kes Implement win32_chmod that uses wide characters, if possible,
+ to get and set the file attributes.
+29Oct08
+kes Apply pane freezing during updates patch from Riccardo Ghetta.
+kes Rework next_vol and autoprune a bit due to failure in
+ recycle-test. prune_volumes() now returns no status,
+ but should prune at least one Volume, if possible.
+kes Modify check_if_volume_valid_or_recyclable to reject a
+ volume with Recycle set off.
+kes Modify prune_volumes() to continue if volume Recycle is off
+ or if the volume has expired. Add more debug.
+28Oct08
+kes Fix bug #1046 VolumeToCatalog incorrectly reports mounted
+ filesystems as missing on the Volume.
+kes Rewrite the set_jcr_job_status() code to include job status
+ priorities so that more important status changes occur but
+ lower priority status changes will not overwrite something
+ more serious. This could possibly cause reporting incorrect status
+ reporting in some cases. More testing is needed to ensure
+ I have the right priorities. This vastly simplifies the previous
+ contorted logic.
+ Verify Diff status should now be correctly reported, whereas it
+ was previously lost.
+kes Reduce some debug output.
+kes Apply Joao's patch to SQLite tables to make chars work.
+27Oct08
+ebl Fix #1175 About update slots that don't reset InChanger flag when
+ slot is empty.
+ebl Fix #1173 where prune_volume() returns a volume from the scratch.
+25Oct08
+kes Remove jobq.c constraint that read and write SD must be
+ different. This may lead to more deadlocks in the SD,
+ but they should be resolved there.
+kes Ensure that job report is always printed even if job is failed
+ in the director.
+kes Don't print job report twice for failed VBackup jobs.
+24Oct08
+kes Fix editing of retention time difference to use 64 bit
+ int instead of 64 bit unsigned. This should permit very
+ long retention periods.
+kes Implement code to prohibit a write job from appending to a
+ Volume that will be used for a read operation. This is
+ new code and could possibly cause some conflicts.
+23Oct08
+kes Integrate James Harper's Exchange Win32 plugin patch.
+kes Apply patch from Marco van Wieringen that implements the new
+ Solaris libsec interface for ACLs so that Bacula can save and

+ so that it works properly both with shared libraries and static
+ libraries.
+kes Marco's patch also includes a small cleanup of the cats Makefile
+ to remove some references to non-existent files.
+22Oct08

+kes Add James' binutils patch
+kes Split volume management code out of src/stored/reserve.c into

+ command.
+ebl Use a separate JCR when running Console command with Runscript.
