+I have found and fixed a serious data loss bug in Bacula.
+
+This bug was very elusive and time consuming to track down. It
+turned out to be a race condition that can lose the last one or
+two blocks of a Job, which can happen in rare cases only when
+running multiple simultaneous jobs when a volume fills and one
+Job finishes receiving the last data from the FD and at the same
+time a second job detects the end of the Volume. The bug was
+introduced in version 2.0.0 and did not exist in version 1.38.x.
+If the bug is triggered, the data is lost (not written to the
+Volume), and it can occur for any backup job of any level under
+the conditions noted above.
+
+The bug is reported in the bugs database as bug #964, and just
+this morning I found and tested a fix, which is attached as a patch
+to the bug report. The patch (2.2.4-lost-block.patch) is also
+uploaded to the bacula-patches 2.2.x release area. This bug may
+also be part of the problems reported in bug #935 and possibly
+#903.
+
+Also in the bacula-patches 2.2.x area, you will find other
+patches that fixes bugs #953, 966, 967, 965, 958, 908, and
+955. Please refer to bugs.bacula.org for the details.
+
+Though this bug quite serious (data loss), it should be rare.
+However, we recommend everyone to apply the patch.

+Bacula version 2.2.4 Released
+
+This version of Bacula is a minor bug release to version 2.2.3.
+It contains the following fixes:
+
+- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953.
+- Possible fix for bug #908.
+- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
+ file to always be deleted.
+- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
+ This fixes bug #950.
+- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
+ trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
+ Fixes bug #906.
+- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
+ should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices
+ are released as soon as possible.
+- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
+ have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
+ in bug #942, but not the main problem.
+- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
+ by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
+- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
+ TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
+- Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works
+ as expected.
+- Using "m" in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions
+ and not memory usage.
+
+- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
+ program.
