General:
+04Dec06
+kes Make migration with no files to migrate set normal termination.
+kes Change message when job manually started to say Job queued. ...
+kes Add job report indication of whether or not VSS and Encryption were
+ used by the FD.
+kes Modify sparseBlock variable name to make the code clearer.
+kes Add more sparse tests to regress using gigaslam sparse file
+ generator.
+kes Enable data encryption code.
+kes Add gigaslam.c to src/tools. It creates a 1GB file that contains
+ only two blocks -- i.e. it is a real sparse file.
+03Dec06
+kes Enable disk seeking on restore.
+kes Implement the SD 'Block Positioning = yes|no' directive. This
+ allows the user to turn off block level seeking, but restores
+ will be much slower.
+kes Change the word illegal to read invalid in a few places.
+kes Fix Win32 build, which broke when I added parse_args_only in
+ lib. I'm not sure I got the entry point right for msvc.
+kes Turn off data encryption. It can be enabled by defining
+ DATA_ENCRYPTION in src/version.h and recompiling.
+kes Implement flag to turn off data encryption feature.
+kes Move unserial code in restore.c to a subroutine. Add a bit of debug
+ code.
+kes Rework a bit of code in backup.c to handle sparse blocks correctly.
+ The main problem was that signatures were being generated on blocks
+ of zeros, which is unnecessary.
+02Dec06
+kes Fix scanner (next_arg) to handle leading double quote correctly.
+kes Modify cd command in restore tree to look at full argument without
+ keywords. This fixes bug #716.
+01Dec06
+kes Do not update Migrated Job type if migration does not terminate
+ normally. This fixes bug #719.
+kes Update ReleaseNotes
+kes Purge Job records from the catalog for Migration. This was
+ not properly done previously. This fixes bug #718.
+28Nov06
+kes Initialize msg_type to M_INFO in migration. Pointed out by
+ Robert Nelson.
+kes Add some fflush() statements for debug output. This should not
+ really be necessary and defeats buffering but users continue
+ to complain.
+27Nov06
+kes More copyright changes.
+kes Make sure we don't detach from the despool read device since it
+ is a temporary structure where the condition variables are not
+ initialized. Bug #711.
+26Nov06
+kes Add Bacula version+date to Client record. This is a very minor
+ security problem in that passing the version facilitates a hacker's
+ life, but it will make support easier.
+kes Implement fixes to make disk seeking work. Currently turned
+ off in version.h pending reserch on what problems it will cause
+ because of the previous bsnprinf() sign extension bug.
+25Nov06
+kes Add Landon's refactor of restore Feature request to the
+ projects file.
+kes Tweak debug levels and messages for examining the disk
+ seek problem.
+22Nov06
+kes Cleanup some of the error termination code in migration.
+kes Separate read/write source strings to keep track of where
+ storage devices are used in a job.
+kes Implement a new method of keeping track of which storage
+ device is used in a Job. USTORE keeps both a pointer to the
+ resource and to the source string.
+kes Modify all code to use new storage set subroutines in job.c
+kes Modify migrate.c so that the definitive selection of the storage
+ resource is done in the do_migration_init() routine prior to
+ the job going into the job queue. This permits accurate
+ deadlock detection (same read and write storage resource).
+kes Remove bfill from btape (I think it was a left over stub).
+22Nov06
+kes Make sure that the storage for a job is pulled first from
+ the Pool and if not from the Job.
+kes Ensure that either the Pool or the Job specifies a Storage
+ resource.
+21Nov06
+kes Start applying new FSFE copyright.
+20Nov06
+kes Add additional error messages in acquiring a drive for read.
+kes Make WritePartAfterJob the default so that the last DVD part
+ always gets written to the DVD by default.
+kes Add additional error messages in migration.
+kes Suppress redundant error messages in migration (possibly more to do).
+kes Apply Martin's fix (updated to 1.39) that takes into account
+ run storage overrides in the Director status display.
+kes Implement, but turn off the submitted code that sets the EOT
+ model on FreeBSD machines. Turning on this code is too risky at
+ this point in the development.
+19Nov06
+kes Implement unique dbid routine for migration to prevent the same
+ JobId from being migrated twice. This should fix bug #709.
+18Nov06
+kes Apply Jaime Ventura's 'mail on success' patch.
+kes Add a SMALLOC_SANITY_CHECK for Arno, which aborts Bacula
+ if memory usage gets too big.
+kes Tweak migration to ensure that read/write devices are different.
+17Nov06
+kes Create an AUTHORS file to list Bacula contributors.
+kes Add Richard Stallman's four GPL freedoms to LICENSE
+kes Require the conf file to have a valid NextPool for writing the
+ migration output.
+16Nov06
+ebl Enable RecycleCount in catalog.
+ebl Fix "echo python | bconsole" segfault
+14Nov06
+kes Implement code to pass the MediaId to the SD. The SD then uses
+ this MediaId when creating JobMedia records. This fixes a bug
+ with Migration where the MediaId got set to the second Volume
+ read rather than the write Volume. Possibly (unlikely) fixes
+ bug #709.
+kes Remove NextPool from Job resource.
+kes Edit a few numbers in the restore dialog with commas.
+kes Note, the DIR<->SD protocol has changed.
+13Nov06
+kes Replace () by {} in configure.in for proper HP configuration.
+kes Shorten some lines over 80 characters in filed/backup.c
+kes Cast sizeof() in filed/backup.c to avoid compiler warning.
+
+Version 1.39.28 released:

==== IMPORTANT Encrypted Volume data may be unreadable ====
- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please
be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options
Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
As of 1.39.28:
- All combinations work fine.
+ Most combinations work, but some encrypted files are
+ not properly restored.
+
+ As of 1.39.30:
+ All combinations work fine except Sparse+Encryption.
==== IMPORTANT a stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash =====
- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses
can be used to avoid having to enter that ugly path.
After one of these has been done the upgrade should work fine.
+======
+
+New Features in 1.39.30:
+- The Bacula source code is now copyrighted by the Free Software
+ Foundation Europe. The Developer's Guide documents the new procedures,
+ and the LICENSE file has been updated.
+- Turn on disk seek code for restores.
+- Apply Jaime Ventura's patch that implements the Messages resource
+ Mail On Success directive.
+- The Client returns its Version string, which is printed in the Job
+ report.
+- The Client returns whether or not VSS and Encryption are used, which
+ are printed in the Job report.
Major new Features in 1.40.0:
- The basic features of Migration are now complete, and
