This allows detecting jobs - that terminated in a warning. -- Implement setting the Win32 icon to yellow instead of red - when the job terminated OK but with warnings. -- Fix the Win32 makefile and VC project file. The links were - not including the Win32 dlls. -- Delete some old Win32 code that was turned off. -- Eliminate a few more Win32 compiler warnings. -- Reduce the output produced by NIS (Win32 install builder). -- Simplify some of the #ifdefing in compat.h -- Rewrite spooling error handling when I/O error occurs. It is - a bit tricky, requiring to truncate the file so that a despooling - will work correctly. Needs to be tested. -- Make better subroutines for setting up for a new job. -- Start putting all DB ids on #defines (going to 64 bits). -- Fix gnome-console Makefile.in to work again. -- All "level=Incremental/Decremental" to the estimate command. This - required some re-arrangement of subroutines at a fairly low level. -- Apply Piotr Jaworski's patch (patch-r-status.diff) to update the - catalog status when a backup job starts running. -- Add (char*) cast to readline call in console.c for old readlines. -- Copy Makefile.in from gnome2-console to gnome-console (to eliminate - need for cats library). -- Modify spooling code to handle write error (e.g. spooling disk full) - more gracefully. Previously despooling would fail. -- Reduce casting in smartall.c a bit and add counters for - bytes, max_bytes, buffers and max_buffers. -- Fixed reload algorithm to stack both job end callback and the - table id. -- Fixed the orphaned buffer after reload (job_end_push had to be - destroyed. -- Destroy cond var (jcr->term_wait) only if initialized. -- Sort the Scheduled Jobs list by start-time, priority. -- Implement resources on a pointer. -- Fix Gnome console crash on up/down arrow with no history. -- Finish first cut of SIGHUP code. To make really work need res - on a single pointer rather than in fixed memory. -- Fix a number of places in query.sql where multiple JobIds are - printed (due to JobMedia records). -- Add new query: List jobs on Volume given Volume name. -- Correct socket close on Win32 in bnet.c (in addition to compat.cpp). - Caused fd leak in Win32 for each connection. -- Remove vol labeled test in askdir update_volume_info so that non-labeled - Volume in catalog can be marked in error. -- Close socket in SD when connection rejected. Caused fd leaks. -- Initialize job_start_wait cond variable after every new_jcr() otherwise - NetBSD gets error in library when trying to delete it without being inited. -- Fix typo (9 instead of 0) return status in write_new_volume_label. -- Fix mount.c to call routine that correctly marks a volume in error. -- Move code to rewrite volume label to subroutine -- a bit cleaner. -- Finish implementation and testing of new restore tree code. -- Implement feedback while tree is loading. -- Eliminate printing INFO message in UpdateDB (cats) -- it generates - "false" error messages. -- Eliminate some GTK error messages when running the Gnome2 console. -- Begin restructuring tree.c for inclusion of the binary_insert() - routine. -- Apply Peter Eriksson's lib file order changes in linking for IRIX. -- Abort configure if Internal is selected as the database. -- Add testimonials to the Web page -- Add the bugs list to the Web page "lists". -- Clarify the English in SuSE and Slackware when SD not running. -- Applied another extern "C" patch from Peter Eriksson. -- Fixed a bunch of VC warning messages. -- Applied the patches sent by Andreas Jellinghaus: build Gnome and - wx-console in client-only build if configured; add ./configure option - to permit setting of sbin modes -- default is 0745 as before; remove - cats library from Gnome console build; remove old version from Gnome - About box. Thanks Andreas. -- Applied Peter Eriksson's const changes to the source code. Thanks Peter. -- Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used - in the restore tree routines. -- Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which - are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit - behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*. +Other features or bug fixes: +- Fixed bugs: 846, 809, 772, 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, + 798, 795, 789, 791, 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, + 775, 621, 772, 764, 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, + 747, 742, 744, and 743. +- Only the minumum number of volumes are pruned rather than + all volumes in the pool. +- wx-console renamed to bwx-console +- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console +- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId +- Spooling implemented for migration jobs. +- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading | + in front of the configuration path/filename. +- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's + memory usage, and a in use buffer dump. +- Solaris door and event port files are no longer restored. +- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32 + filename restrictions. +- Corrected Win32 ftruncate bug. +- Additional version information added to Job reports. +- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type. +- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there + is already a < in the target. +- Perfer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being + mounted by another job. +- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11 +- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted. +- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command. +- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape. +- Drop from root done before database is opened. +- database user and name can be configured with: + --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user +- turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script. +- rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script. + This appears to have been an unreported bug. +- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust +- Better restricted console ACL checking. +- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that + users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection. +- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running + job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned). +- Sockets are no longer restored. +- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster. +- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite + large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries. +- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed. +- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to + which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies + the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is + not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
