+ 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
+ restore both the new ACLs and old ACLs.
+kes Marco's patch also corrects the file dependency generation code
+ 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 Modify win32 Makefiles to use full paths in most cases.
+ In particular add MAINDIR environment variable that points
+ to the main Bacula source directory.
+21Oct08
+kes Add read volume list code to SD -- not yet used.
+kes Add James' binutils patch
+kes Split volume management code out of src/stored/reserve.c into
+ a new file vol_mgr.c
+kes Modify configure to do an automatic make clean. This ensures
+ that any changes to ./configure options are handled correctly.
+
+Beta version 2.5.16 release:
+20Oct08
+ebl Rename JobStat table to JobHistory
+kes Ensure that only normally terminated jobs are migrated.
+19Oct08
+kes Add Makefile dependency when using LIBTOOL_LINK so that any
+ change in ./configure options will be accounted for.
+18Oct08
+kes Fix typo in the ACL patch that I overlooked.
+kes Apply Marco's libtool include patch.
+17Oct08
+kes Apply Bastian Friedrich's ACL patch to eliminate ACL

+ work with the new FD.
+14Oct08
+kes Apply cleanup patch from Marco
+kes Apply patch from Marco van Wieringen <mvw@planets.elm.net>
+ that implements libtool to create shared objects out of
+ the Bacula libraries.
+kes Fix tray-monitor so it will speak to new FD.
+ebl Fix bug with ANSI label when volume name length < 6
+ebl Fix segfault in debug level > 50 with btape.
+ebl Remove warning message in btape when command is empty.
+kes Fix Win32 build to pull in new BACULA define.
+13Oct08
+kes Change IncludeDir to Exclude Dir Containing.
+kes Implement code to prohibit ExcludeDirContaining in an
+ Exclude section (same for Plugin and Options). A bit
+ of a kludge with RES_ITEM2 ...
+ebl Add field to command list to restrict Runscript console
+ command.
+ebl Use a separate JCR when running Console command with Runscript.
+ebl Permit to mark version as Beta in some outputs
+11Oct08
+kes Add plugin types in jcr.h to reduce need to cast.
+kes Do better checking of plugin return values.
+kes Free plugin context after calling pluginFree() as
+ requested by James.
+kes Allow plugin to call JobMessage with NULL context.
+kes Do not add plugin to global list if loadPlugin returns error.
+kes Rework plugin.h a bit to reduce dependence on Bacula.
+10Oct08
+kes Move generation of bsr file for Virtual Backup to run section
+ so that it is generated just before actually running.
+ Suggested by Graham Keeling.
+09Oct08
+kes Add malloc and free Bacula entry points for plugins. Increment
+ FD plugin interface version. Create a Bacula plugin context
+ structure to keep track of whether or not the plugin is disabled.
+kes Apply FileIndex fix for plugin name stream suggested by James.
+kes List plugins in FD status report when debug > 0.
08Oct08
+ebl Add a new VerId variable that is printed in version command.

backup start time bug reported by Graham Keeling.
