+2003-xx-yy Version 1.30 released
+- The new AutoMount code broke File archives -- fixed.
+- Correct watchdog mutex race introduced yesterday.
+- Add JobLevel to Admin run started by UA.
+- Add -v to daemon startup scripts
+- Implement bmicrosleep(sec, msec);
+- Implement When for "run" command.
+- Remove unsigned from socklen_t definition in hopes it will work better
+ with older systems.
+- Remove code that attempts to set PID dir and SUBSYS dir if they
+ do not exist because it set them to sbindir!
+- Modify mount to initially attempt to read the volume if Bacula
+ wants a tape, none is mounted, and "Automatic Mount = yes" is set.
+- Prohibit setting --sbindir and --with-subsys-dir the same.
+- Fix missing argument that cause Kaboom in update slots.
+- Fix orphaned bsock when UA gets error contacting FD or SD
+- Nearly full implementation of Win Backup API, but it does not
+ work due to lack of permission! Arggg!
+- Implemented restoring directory permissions as they should be.
+- Implemented reasonable regression script. It found a number of
+ restore errors.
+- Implemented the following @ commands in the console that work directly
+ in the console rather than in the Director.
+ input - read input from a file
+ output - write output to file
+ tee - tee output to file and terminal
+ time - print current time
+ version - print current version
+ exit - quit
+ quit - quit
+- Implemented new bfile io routines that will permit implementation of
+ Windows native APIs for reading/writing files.
+- By default always update hard links with the prefix, but do
+ not update soft links. It seems inconsistent, but it is what
+ cp does.
+- Implement wait command in Console that waits until no jobs are running.
+- Fixed the < code in Include/Excludes, which forgot to skip over the <.
+- Do NOT attempt to chmod() a soft link as it will change the file behind
+ the link!
+- OOPS! Lutz ran into a problem. In attempting to prevent string overflows,
+ I used bstrncpy() on a variable that was malloc'ed thus truncating
+ Volume names! Arrrggggg!
+- Lots of documentation of new features.
+- Rework Volume name scanning in console, made much more logical
+ and corrected a bug (confusion in calling sequence).
+- Cleaned up a few error messages in cats adding more info.
+- Add the IP address to error messages due to bad connects to servers.
+- Implement default File output in config files so user can start
+ saving right away without a tape drive.
+- Protect inet_ntoa() with mutex in case it is not thread safe.
+- Eliminate termcap from use in gnome console.
+- Remove unused SD maximum volume files and maximum volume jobs. They
+ are implemented in the Director.
+- Make the default for Incremental and Differential saves to compare
+ against both st_mtime and st_ctime rather than just st_mtime.
+ This includes files moved or copied.
+ Thanks to Matthias Wamser for bringing this fix to our attention.
+- On Win32 clients, make a pass through the include/exclude patterns
+ and change any back slashes to foward slashes. Prevents creating
+ unusable directory names containing both conventions.
+- Move ls -l output on restored files to M_RESTORED class.
+- Make gnome-console compile correctly on RH8.0
+- label barcodes now works.
+- Implemented "update slots".
+- Tweak btape "test" to always print suggestion for re-read last block.
+- Implemented "Cleaning Prefix"
+- Update alter_mysql_tables.in
+- More work on barcodes.
+- Zap VolHdr in SD when attempting to label a tape that is not
+ there. Prevents false tape names the next label command.
+- First cut of bar code reading is implemented. It doesn't do
+ anything but return the list to the Director.
+- Implemented relabel command that relabels "Purged" Volumes.
+- Check exit code in RunBeforeJob and err the job if it is non-zero.
+- Remove old testsuite -- too complicated
+- Print length when Authorization fails because of bad length.
+- Fix problem of NumVols in Pool getting reset on startup.
+- Implement full listing of DB records by listing them vertically
+ instead of horizontally.
+- Make changes to mysql scripts as suggested by Lutz Kittler
+- Fixed code to write Uname to Client record.
+- Fixed a problem (in btape) where Pmsg() was not printing.
+- Moved re-read last block test to last in "test" command of btape.
+- Lots of new documentation.
+- Fixed newvol.c to handle retrying 10 times if the volume name already exists.
+- Removed int_least16_t from sha1.h because it does not exist on some systems.
+- Release job in SD if canceled and waiting on a mount (better cancellation).
+- Prompt for Client in restore if not specified.
+- Print "Selection is empty!" if no selection list found.
+- Add new spec files and bacula.desktop from Scott.
+- Update client every time a job is run.
+- Add verbose option to daemons for printing more user error info.
+- Test if console works with readline 4.3 (yes, it is OK).
+- Release new depkgs
+- Release new winbacula.
+- Add Uname info to Client DB record.
+- Improve error messages and make them more consistent when a non-existent
+ Device is requested.
+- Separated the -mwindows option so that only Windows programs
+ are built with it (bacula-fd, ...) the tty tools such as console
+ dbcheck, smtp, testfind, ... are now able to be run in a standard
+ Windows DOS box.
+- Add | and < options to Exclude the same as in Include.
+- Add typed in input to the text window in the gnome-console.
+- Change function that gets the entry text (previously had orphaned buffer).
+- Fix multiple Director problem in gnome-console (thanks to Lutz Kittler).
+- Thanks to Renato, I was able to test Bacula on a FreeBSD tape drive.
+ There are a number of significant differences: 1. reading less than
+ the number of bytes in a record returns an I/O error. 2. ioctl(MTEOM)
+ looses the file position. 3. Reading two two EOF marks (or ioctl(MTEOM))
+ leave you positioned after the second EOF, so you must backspace file
+ to be able to append.
+- Added BSF at EOM = yes/no to Device resource to allow proper positioning
+ at the end of a FreeBSD tape.
+- Made btape "test" do much better testing of error conditions (i.e.
+ it now ensures that the append went well). It will automatically
+ detect problems and apply fixes and then retry the test, if it
+ finally succeeds, it clearly says what directives need changing.
+- Add Scott Barninger's rpm changes to the build environment
+- Add changes to mtx-changer so users can add eject and sleep for
+ certain autochangers.
+- Implemented FreeBSD chflags (user defined flags).
+- Turn restore errors during setting of owner and modes into
+ warning messages -- for restoring files as non-root.
+- Fix how prefixes are handled in restoring soft links.
+- Modified btape "test" command to do only those things that
+ Bacula actually does. There is much more explanation, ...
+- Update manual.
+- Finally had to back up to gcc version 2 from version 3 to avoid version
+ 3 nightmares.
+- Final cygwin tweaks.
+- Move start time to *after* the resource locks are acquired.
+- Unable to duplicate Phil's disabling of Bacula with nmap, but
+ did make the authentication code a bit more conservative for
+ dealing with bad input.
+- Added code to the query command to escape all strings input
+ before substitution and sending to the SQL engine.
+- Escape user entered filenames for restore command.
+- Cleaned up the waiting code a bit -- using broadcast instead
+ of signal and counting the waiters.
+- Implement new pthreads semaphore code.
+- #define new semaphore code rather than workq on USE_SEMAPHORE.
+- Lots of improvements to the document to address recent support requests.
+- Implement cycle through a set of tapes suggested by Eugeny
+ Fisher with the "RecycleOldestVolume=yes" record in the
+ Pool resource. Basically this record causes Bacula to purge
+ to oldest tape when no more tapes are found.
+- Correct a number of small incorrect interactions between limit
+ variables during recycling.
+- Corrected a bug in db_create_media_record() where VolMaxFiles and
+ VolMaxJobs was not written to the database.
+- When the Director starts, the Pool record is updated in the
+ database with the current contents of the Pool resource.
+- Corrected bnet_connect() to immediately stop (rather than looping
+ for the timeout period) if there is a fatal error (socket, or
+ hostname to ip).
+- Reworked "purge" code to make purging Volumes easier.
+- Made "list volumes" list the volumes in all pools -- also
+ "list volumes pool=Default" does not produce and error message.
+- List Pool record after doing "update pool".
+- Remove pid file code from Win32 -- not really necessary.
+- Make bnet handle null jcr during cancel rather than crash.
+- Add CygwinInstall.bat and CygwinUnInstall.bat
+- Add db_lock() around newvol.c code to prevent race condition if multiple
+ callers want a new Volume name.
+- Lots of cleanup to Win32 code, with additional error messages.
+- Make Bacula work on Win95 (test for GetAttributesEx).
+- Add better error messages when end of media is reached or volume
+ capacity execed.
+- Turned off signal catching in readline(), necessary to keep console
+ from crashing on ctl-Z with RedHat 8.0. Thanks to David Craigon for
+ testing this.
+- Make the 3rd and hopefully final change to the Finclude structures.
+ This new version permits multiple sets of options (more code to be
+ written) to be applied against the same set of files. Thus one can
+ have options that with match of *.gz and a different set of options
+ for *.c, ...
+- Integrated GNOME Console font resource code supplied by Phil Stracchino.
+- Check for job_cancelled() in bnet_connect() code to stop wait loop if
+ client not available.
+- Fix early end of file scanning conf file in lex.c, which previously
+ caused ABORT -- now reports error. This could happen with an unterminated
+ string for example.
+- Move Maximum File Size code before write and detect error on writing EOF.
+- Additional fix for Solaris 2.6 and a bdb.c fix submitted by Armin Buehler.
+- Added detection for Solaris 2.6, which uses older setsockopt() calls.
+- Defined sockopt_val_t for setsockopt() calls.
+- Added fixes sent by Bevan Anderson that fix multiple connects to FD
+ (I zap keys for security, so must put back dummy key). Also a fix
+ to the Internal database that wrote garbage after the filename in
+ the database.
+- Back out the __SVR4 changes.
+- Add automatic configuration of socklen_t
+- Attempt to fix problems reported by Lutz with multiple simultaneous
+ open file Volumes (experimental code). Serialized acquire. This may
+ fix the problem, but more thought and testing is necessary.
+- Add table of "supported" autochanger models.
+- Add Solaris 2.6 (__SRV4) changes sent by Peter Schmitz.
+- Correct tape selection code in SD (|| => &&). Thanks to Chuck Hemker
+ for the patch.
+- Eliminate FileOptions. Implement new Finclude and Fexclude that
+ have file options contained in it. New structure must be transmitted
+ to FD.
+- Split Include/Exclude into new inc_conf.c file.
+- Cleanup new Include/Exclude and FileOptions. Structures in Director
+ now correct. Must transmit FileOptions to FD.
+- WARNING: With the adddress and port code in the Catalog you MUST
+ remove old address= and dport= records!!!!!
+- Added code to remove cancelled jobs from the workq -- needs testing.
+- Added first cut AIX from output James MacLean sent me.
+- Second cut of FileOptions.
+- First cut of parsing FileOptions and Counters.
+- Added address:port for MySQL as well as socket for local access.
+- Fixed job.c in filed to properly handle excluded files. Apparently
+ I changed the daemon protocol but forgot to update the code.
+- Enhance testfind to handle include and exclude files
+- Fix getdomainname() prototype for Darwin
+- Added new -u and -g options for specifying userid and groupid to
+ use when running, so that Bacula can reduce its privileges.
+- When Bacula was hanging due to an NFS volume being down, I
+ fixed a few places in the File daemon where is should have immediately
+ terminated the connection instead of waiting for the Director to do so.
+- Added first cut support for Darwin.
+- Temporarily comment out the O_NOFOLLOW to avoid possible subtle problems.
+- Implemented O_NOFOLLOW in creating files in create_file.c to prevent
+ creating a file at the end of a symbolic link.
+- Use chown() if lchown() does not exist (e.g. Darwin).
+- Always close stdin on startup to avoid having /dev/console attached.
+- Change all DATE occurrences to BDATE because it is used by Cygwin headers.
+- Add printing of Volume names in SD status output.
+- Display all open devices in device chain in SD status output.
+- All changing Pool in console run command.
+- Thanks to Eric Bollengier for pointing out that the run_program()
+ return status was not correctly generated. Now fixed (I hope).
+- Corrected crash in Internal Database getting Volumes.
+- Flush all daemon messages at the end of every job.
+- Fix Install.bat script so that Bacula restarts after reboot on WinNT/2K systems.
+- Minor changes in the gnome-console directory.
+- Integrated in my old Tcl/Tk code into src/tconsole and moved it up
+ from C to C++. Pretty crude, but it is a beginning.
+- Close syslog() %n exploit in message.c
+- Edit space before each line in gconsole.
+- Added INCEXE structure so we can have FileOptions.
+- Added support for multiple simultaneous open file volumes.
+- Fix hard linked files so that the one saved is always restored.
+- Add * to restore "dir" listing to indicate marked files.
+- Add ability to make md5sum and sha1sum in lib directory.
+- Work a bit more on the new daemon protocol.
+- Use unmask of 022 or more restive
+- Create File volumes with 0640 permissions
+- Added support for SHA1 signature. Need to modify DB to have type.
+- Document SHA1.
+- Work a bit on getting proper child status from bpipe calls.
+- Added Ludwig's mtx-changer to the examples/devices directory.
+- Added a Warning not to use the Internal Database when it is initialized.
+- Compiled and tested SHA1, and added it to the library.
+- Added code to print the "load slot" status after autoloading.
