This should + fix bug #802. +kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is + the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash. + Fixes bug #797. +10Mar07 +kes Extend new GUI API. +kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(), + error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg(). +08Mar07 +kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from + bug #798. +kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs. +kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat. +07Mar07 +kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust. +05Mar07 +kes More bat implementation. +kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead + of jobids.

Fixes bug #789. +kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands. +kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs. +kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash. +kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10). +04Mar07 +kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting + tape alert info. +02Mar07 +kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may + cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive. +kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to + modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection. +29Feb07 +kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused + volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied. +28Feb07 +kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command. +kes Correct typeo in var.c patch. +27Feb07 +kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job. +kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch) + in bug #791. +26Feb07 +kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra. +24Feb07 +ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas +22Feb07 +kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API. +kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may + not be zeroed. +kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr, + who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access + them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files. +21Feb07 +kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other + than English. Fixes bug #788. +20Feb07 +ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X. + This fixes bug #780 + You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more. + It will be fixed soon. + If you want to use this, you can apply + trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch +19Feb07 +kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula + no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to + set the attributes on a non-existent file.

Its new name is m_fd, and can be + obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the + first of many DEVICE members to be made private. +kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk + changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not + implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set + the Changer Command to an empty string. +17Feb07 +kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record + in a single write() request rather than in two. +ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy + volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool +16Feb07 +kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files + to be truncated. This fixes bug #763. +kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts. +kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782. +13Feb07 +kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1. +ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch. +11Feb07 +kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command. + Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database + was opened, it is closed. +10Feb07 +kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch. +kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning + in the case of orphaned records. +kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename, + and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This + idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right). +kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to + the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what + happens to the ScratchPool? +kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media + times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a + simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there + should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure + times are in Bacula units. +kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch. +09Feb07 +kes Update projects list. +08Feb07 +kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using + the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having + large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25. +kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the + console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug + #767. +kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated + at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This + fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs + to fail. +kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information + so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread. +07Feb07 + Switch to using Subversion +kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure +06Feb07 +kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c + plus the entrypoints. +kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print + in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as + part of bug #621, which was previously fixed. +05Feb07 +kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside + loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition. + Fixes bug #771. +kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted + with the header definition. Fixes bug #765. +ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive) +04Feb07 +kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the + problem is with read or append. +02Feb07 +kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c +kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released + memory -- reported by Jason Austin. +kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon + termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs + (i.e. migration jobs). +kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes + a memory leak problem. +kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist + in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures + to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists). +kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them + rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new + methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable + (hides some of the ugly casting). +kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more + readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing + strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists. +kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist + rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested + by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now + uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This + should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories + contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000). +28Jan07 +kes Fix maxruntime bug #621. +26Jan07 +ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project. +kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote. +kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by + the SD. +kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission + so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761. +25Jan07 +kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile. +kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO + to WARNING. +kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0 + which should restart an indefinite # of times. +kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for + other DIR specifications. +23Jan07 +rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build. + Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts. + Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath. 19Jan07 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755. 18Jan07
