+ Technical notes on version 2.3
+
+General:
+17Aug07
+kes Tweak LICENSE file to mention BSD code.
+kes Fix bat.pro.in so that it includes the OpenSSL libraries only
+ if specified on the ./configure.
+kes Add first (not yet tested) cut of bcomm to the qt-console directory.
+ This class is intended to allow us to open a second bsock to the
+ Director while in the restore subdialog.
+16Aug07
+kes Fix configure to create bat Makefile before creating dependencies.
+kes Eliminate the egg files from the tray-monitor. Use gtk calls.
+kes Add a tooltip to the tray monitor.
+dvl Set the Director's PID file before dropping privs. This fixes
+ bug #923.
+15Aug07
+kes Update AUTHORs file
+kes Increase the default max concurrent jobs to 20 in FD and SD to
+ correspond with the default .conf files.
+kes Rewrite the Win32 service routines. This eliminates the 3 copies
+ some different, of the same file created by RN when porting the
+ Win32 SD and Dir.
+kes Rearrange some of the Win32 directories and the placement of the files
+ in them.
+kes Set DEVELOPER flag in version.h
+
+========================================================================
+Release Version 2.2.0
+09Aug07

+ the Volume(s) or disk. Fixes confusion in bug #916.
+kes When more than one Volume is read in a migration job, the last
+ Volume bytes reported are from the last read volume rather than
+ the last written volume. Fixed. This fixes bug #910.
+kes Fix display of Recycle flag after update volume=foo recycle=yes.
+ It previously printed New Recyle flag is: no. This fixes bug
+ #917.
+06Aug07

+ files at the end of the install.
+kes Add ability to mount and unmount a file device providing it is
+ marked as being removable and has the appropriate mount and unmount
+ commands defined in the Device resource. This fixes bug #830.
+kes When applying a storage override, release all previous storage
+ definitions rather than just prepending the new storage.
+ This should prevent a good deal of confusion.
+14Jul07
+kes Implement ./configure search for qwt libraries.
+13Jul07

+kes Make arguments to get_scratch_volume() in same order as other
+ such calls.
+kes Rework the prune_volumes() subroutine so that after purging and
+ no volume found in desired pool, it will check for a scratch
+ volume. This prevents recycling the whole scratch pool.
+kes Add code to status storage to print boffset_t (largefile support).
+11Jul07
+kes Move qwt (Graphics libarary for Qt4) to depkgs.
+kes You now need a --with-qwt=<dir> to be able to build bat.

+ was migrated twice.
+29Jun07
+kes Implement new BST_DESPOOLING blocked state. Change from locking
+ during despooling in SD to blocking. This means that other threads
+ can work with the device structure, in particular the reservations
+ system while despooling.
+28Jun07
+kes Fix return in reservation message queue that missed clearing
+ the jcr lock (implemented 26Jun07 below).
+kes Rename a number of dev methods to make locking function names

+kes Do not file reparse points when restoring a file that already
+ exists -- Win32.
+24Jun07
+kes Implement Windows reparse points -- similar to directories, but
+ we do not descend into it. This is a first cut. They seem to
+ be backed up, but restore is not yet tested.
+kes Remove restore_blocking in tls code when shutting a socket to leave
+ it in blocking mode. Hopefully this will fix the encryption bug
+ reported by Frank Sweetser.
+kes When opening a file for backup, tell the OS that we are going to
+ read it sequentially -- optimization.

+kes Tweak debug code in autochanger reservation.
+18Jun07
+kes Add some additional locking in the cats directory in subroutines
+ that modify packet variables called from batch insert.
+kes Rework how dcrs are allocated. new_dcr() can now be called
+ with an existing pointer, and it will simply clean it up.
+ This allows the reservation system to test various different
+ devices, and will permit easy device changes.
+kes A bunch of changes all over to handle new new_dcr() calling
+ sequence.
+kes Work more on the Volume management in the SD. Remember Volumes
+ for tape drives and for autochangers (even virtual disk changers).
+kes When looking at the Volume list to reserve a drive, handle
+ autochanger names correctly by interating through the changer
+ devices. Also call the Director to see if a Volume is suitable
+ for the current job.
+kes Fix some bugs in bscan. Make sure all media records are written.
+ Make sure that valid JobMedia records are written for disk files.
+ Previously they were completely wrong.
+kes Move source tar files for depkgs-mingw32 to www.bacula.org so
+ that the URLs don't change and so that the developers will all
+ work off the same copy. Rebuild from scrach.

+
+Release: 2.1.16 beta
+16Jun07
+kes Remove a few malloc()s from the encryption code.
+kes Use the class calls to bsock in filed/backup.c and restore.c in
+ place of the old bnet_xxx code.
+kes Implement code that does an on the fly calculation of the
+ signing digest during restore of encrypted files. It makes
+ a best guess at the algorithm, and if it is not correct, will
+ then revert to the old code which reads the file after it is
+ restored.
+kes Implement at least one missing crypto stream in stream_to_ascii()
+kes Apply patch from William <chowmeined@gmail.com> that fixes bug
+ #877 where a reload with bad syntax causes Dir to exit.
+
+Cut: 2.1.14 beta (not released)
+14Jun07
+kes Do not free a volume on a tape drive until another volume is
+ mounted and read, or the autochanger unloads the volume.
+ This should help the SD re-use volumes that are already mounted,
+ and should fix bug #886.
+kes Apply patch from user brettedgar that allows gnome2-console include
+ the OpenSSL libraries, and hence work with SSL. Fixes bug #885.
+kes Apply patch from Lucien Weller that fixes day of week calculation
+ because of DST flag problem. Fixes bug #887.
+10Jun07
+kes Move find_next_appendable_volume() to after acquiring a valid device
+ in reserve.c. This fixes bug #864 -- confirmed by reporter.
+09Jun07
+kes Unable to reproduce bug 872. However added additional testing for
+ integer.
+kes Bug #874 resolved by documenting SQLite limitations.
+kes Bug #882 resolved by documenting mtx-changer script for new drive code.
+kes Bug #881 resolved by removing typo in mtx-changer script.
+kes Made Frank Sweetser's wiki the official Bacula wiki with his
+ approval. Added a link to the wiki on the web page, and implemented
+ a backup from http://paramount.ind.wpi.edu

+07Jun07
+kes Convert to pure GPL v2 license.
+kes Fix sscanf problems reported by Peter Buschman that caused
+ a bus error on Solaris.

+kes Move get_jobid_from_tid() into lib and create a
+ get_jcr_from_tid().
+kes Use get_jcr_from_tid() to conver all tls Emsg() to Jmsg(). This
+ should definitely fix the problem of lost error messages in the
+ encryption code.
+kes Remove over zellous addition of FSFE copyright in a few eggxxx files.
+kes Eliminate tcpd.h from the project. Enclose the #include from the
+ library with extern C ...

+
+Release: 2.1.12 beta
+04Jun07
+kes Fix a seg fault in the PostgreSQL driver dereferencing a NULL pointer.
+03Jun07
+kes Implement SQLITE3_INIT_QUERY in version.h that can do an initial
+ query for SQLite3. Use it to set PRAGMA synchronous = OFF. This
+ makes SQLit3 run 30 times faster, though a bit less safe.

+ safe libraries. It is on by default, but turned off if no thread
+ safe library (e.g. SQLite 2) is available.
+02Jun07
+kes Fix Bacula PostgreSQL buffer overruns.
+kes Do better checking for NULL results returned from PostgreSQL;
+ implement retry for failed queries; clear results buffer after
+ failed query. Hopefully this will correct the PostgreSQL failures.

+kes Implement algorithm to handle only one appendable volume with
+ Prefer Mounted Volumes = no.
+kes Fix a Bacula PostgreSQL bug dereferencing a NULL pointer
+ returned from a query.
+kes Make volume lock recursive.

+ starts by considering all reserved volumes then uses the
+ old brute force algorithm of searching the resources to
+ find a suitable device.
+kes Add new reservations debug code and refine the old code.
+kes Update the win32/dll/bacula.defs file.
+29May07
+kes Tweak reservations algorithm to permit a few more cases, i.e.
+ volume reserved, but on different drive, ...

+28May07
+kes Minor refactoring of restore decryption code.
+kes Add code to smartall.c to detect double free of a buffer.
+27May07

+ authenicate all daemons.
+kes Move several more functions into the BSOCK class.
+24May07
+kes Add code to tell the OS that we no longer need a cached

+ implemented.
+kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
+ structure.
+kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
+ to force Win32 error message.
+03May07
+kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,

+kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
+ on Solaris.
+18Apr07
+kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
+ deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
+ in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
+kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
+ unique.
+kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
+ more Bacula unique.
+14Apr07
+kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
+ <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
+ It implements:
+ The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
+ an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
+ A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
+ in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
+ of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
+ have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
+ form client_123.
+kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
+kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.

+31Mar07
+ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
+ it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
+ The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
+ each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
+ 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
+ error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
+30Mar07

+ --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
+kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
+29Mar07

+kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
+ No install yet though.
+25Mar07
+kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
+kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
+ Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
+ for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
+24Mar07
+kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
+ previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
+23Mar07
+kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
+ if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
+ resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
+ volumes.
+kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
+ to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
+ amount of duplicated code.
+kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
+ if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
+kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
+ and architecture.
+kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
+ ua_purge.c.
+ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.

+ Fix sql stuff for mysql
+22Mar07
+kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.

+ the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
+ of other prune/purge subroutines.
+kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
+ that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
+ job.
+kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:

+ src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
+ src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
+ src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported

+kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
+ebl Fix AfterJob timing

+ and bacula access to the DB.
+kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
+kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
+ uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
+kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
+ Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
+kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
+ wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
+ return immediately).
+kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
+ running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
+kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. 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(),

+ crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
+kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
+kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.

+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

+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. Reported by a user.
+ebl finish RecyclePool feature
+ Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
+ when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
+ update volume=xxx frompool
+ To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
+ Pool {
+ Name = Default
+ RecyclePool = Scratch
+ ...
+ }
+ TODO: update manual
+kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
+kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
+ that returns more information and will make it easier
+ to interface to the Director from a program.
+18Feb07
+kes Make DEVICE fd private. 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 -- scheduler problem.
+13Feb07

+ 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

+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.

+ backup. This should fix bug #755.
+kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
+
+Version 2.0.1
+12Jan07
+kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
+ instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
+kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
+ fix bug #741.
+kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
+11Jan07
+kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
+ This *should* fix bug #747.
+kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
+ bug #742.
+09Jan07
+kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
+ and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
+ this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
+kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
+kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
+ SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
+ Sebastien Guilbaud.
+kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
+ despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
