+2003-01-24 Version 1.29 released
+22Jan03
+- Added prefixlinks=yes/no Job record to specify applying the Where
+ prefix to absolute soft links. Code is not yet passed to FD, because
+ FD would then be incompatible with version 1.28.
+- Added skeleton of installation for Gentoo release for Patrick Naubert.
+- Add timer on open() for reading or writing a FIFO file.
+- Put btraceback and btraceback.gdb in sysbin dir (a bit of polution,
+ but at least dumps will work).
+20Jan03
+- Added "append" all messages to a log to default bacula-dir.conf
+- Added WriteBootstrap to default bacula-dir.conf
+- Made smartall.c print "Out of memory" if malloc() fails.
+- Added pthread btimer routines.
+- Added timer to FIFO open statement
+- George was still having problems with VolUseDuration failing.
+ On looking into it, one line of code subtracting 1900 was
+ mysteriously missing from the source -- bizarre.
+18Jan03
+- Yesterday's version corrects all the problems I was
+ previously having, and my production jobs are now completing
+ properly.
+- Added a #define dev_cap() to test the capabilities bits. I just
+ makes the code a bit shorter and a bit simpler.
+- Added phase 1 support for an output fifo device. The big
+ difference here is that it is a STREAM device, which means that
+ Bacula will only write to it and not read. Thus, Bacula assumes
+ that the correct "Volume" is mounted and will construct a valid
+ label (without needing the Volume to be prelabeled), and write
+ to the device.
+- Added phase 1 support for input from fifo device (suppress re-read,
+ add empty buffer flag).
+17Jan03
+- Improve printout of dbcheck with # files/path fixing.
+- Zap SD authorization code after use.
+- Added <> back to smtp (think about this some)
+- Doc
+16Jan03
+- Massive change to add jcr as the first argument to nearly
+ every db_ call. This is because I was storing the jcr in the
+ db structure, which will not work because everyone shares
+ exactly the same structure.
+- More cleanups of error termination status in filed.
+- Found another bug in message.c where %s was missing in JmsgN. A lot
+ of cleanup in message.c
+- Found places where filename listing was made (restore, verify
+ vol) where the buffer could possibly overrun.
+- Chain include files on the end of the list so that the
+ order will be correct.
+- Rewrote mtx-changer to output one slot per line terminated by
+ a colon followed by an optional Volume Tag for the "list" command.
+ Preparation for handling Volume Tags.
+- My production crash remains elusive. Adding debug code or running
+ under the debugger eliminates the problem. I found a case in
+ message.c where I was extending the message string by two
+ characters to send it to the console. VERY BAD. Rewritten.
+- Started implementing fifo and program handlers (i.e. streams)
+ in the Storage daemon. Lots to do.
+- Added a trace capability where trace statements are written
+ to a file. Tmsg(). Hopefully this won't be used much.
+- Running lots of "production" saved by scheduling a few minutes
+ after the current time -- slow process ...
+15Jan03
+- Removed <> on From and To in smtp.c as suggested by James MacLean.
+- Added code to suppress spurious error messages during cancel,
+ but I was unable to eliminate all errors -- to be worked
+ on later.
+- Up size of print buffer from 2000 to 5000.
+- My production run failed again. I'm beginnig to suspect
+ hardware problems because running by hand or under the
+ debugger always works -- we will see.
+- Added Update Volume VolFiles to reset correct tape files
+ a bit dangerous.
+- Use the mysql_escape_string() rather than internal version.
+14Jan03
+- Cleanup handling of JobStatus by creating a subroutine.
+- Fix a number of minor things with JobStatus.
+- Print FD and SD JobStatus on backup report.
+- Add JCR to findlib -- so now FD stops normally when cancelled.
+- My production Director segment faulted during the second Job.
+ I haven't been able to track it down. After rebuilding, all
+ jobs finished correctly.
+- In investigating the duplicated Paths, I found that there
+ were 10,552 of them -- only Path records. After checking the
+ code, I do not see the reason, but I've enhanced the code to
+ print the full path name.
+- I made a few improvements to tools/dbcheck. Mostly it provides
+ a bit more feedback with verbose mode on when eliminating
+ duplicate filenames or paths.
+13Jan03
+- During four simultaneous backups, the File daemon started
+ detecting buffer corruptions. It turns out to be due to the
+ fact that the smartall.c routines were not thread safe. They
+ are now.
+- Based on input from James MacLean and team, I eliminated a number
+ of places where printf could be recursively called by using "%s".
+- It turns out that because of an error of my understanding of
+ mysql_escape_string(), the last argument was taken as the length
+ of the string to be escaped rather than the maximum length. I've
+ now corrected all my code -- Thanks James.
+12Jan03
+- George Motter reported problems with UseDurations, and it seems
+ that there were a number of inconsistencies and problems with
+ FirstWritten and LastWritten. Hopefully for the most part they
+ are now corrected. Also fixed LabelDate if done through Console.
+- Try to chase down reasons why there would be buffer overruns.
+ Added P & V around referencing last_fname for status.
+ Rewrote find_one.c with MEMPOOL, but not yet tested enough
+ to commit.
+10Jan03
+- Give extra margin to converting filenames from Unix to Windows
+ in attribs.c of findlib -- dumb cygwin API doesn't provide for
+ a length.
+- Added file:line traceback to size_of_pool_memory, check... and
+ realloc in an attept to get closer to the memory overrun reported
+ by James MacLean.
+09Jan03
+- Made yet another fix to quoted string -- paths! Thanks to
+ Scott Medlock for reporting this.
+- Made | and < work.
+- Implemented FIFO reading/writing. To do so, simply explicitly mention
+ the fifo file (named pipe) in the Include AND add the new option
+ readfifo=yes
+08Jan03
+- Started implementing | and < on Include names.
+- Changed source to . in cats directory as requested by
+ Andrew Kokarev.
