-Version 1.39.20:
-- The basic features of Migration are now complete.
-- There is a Migration chapter in the doc.

+New Features in 1.39.22:
+- Fix opening of database in console to respect ACL.
+- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
+ patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
+- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
+ from Eric Bollengier.
+- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
+ in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
+- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
+ display data_len instead of data content (may be binary)
+- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
+- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir
+- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
+ the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
+ path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
+ over where users can restore files. This is untested.
+- Install man pages with 'make install'
+- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
+- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
+- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
-New Features in 1.39.20:
-- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio.
-- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
- command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
-- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
- triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger
-- The new Win32 installer requires that you deinstall any
- previous version before installing the new version.
- The simplest way to do that is in a DOS shell:
+Fixes to 1.39.22:
+- Lots of fixes -- see ChangeLog.
+- Lots of work on DVD writing.
+- Lots of work on documentation in the manual.
+- Lots of work on the rescue disk.
+
+==== IMPORTANT Catalog update required =====
+- The database format has been updated from what was used in
+ Bacula 1.38.x. You must manually update your database before
+ running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. Please backup your previous
+ version of the database before running the update. The update
+ script will be automatically installed in your scripts directory,
+ or can also be found in <bacula-source>/src/cats. It is called:
+
+ ./update_bacula_tables
+
+ It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to a
+ 1.39.x beta or to 1.40.0. Upgrading the Bacula version thereafter
+ does not require updating the database again. Depending on the size of your
+ database the script make take a bit of time, to run, but in
+ general, it should be very fast.
+
+==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
+ For Win32 migrations from versions prior to the new installer nothing special
+ needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
+ automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\Bacula
+ directory (mostly out of paranoia, we can change that prior to release if
+ everyone is comfortable with it).
+
+ Prior to using the current installer, if you used a prior 1.39.x
+ beta version, you must do one of the following three things:
+
+ 1) Uninstall prior beta version and select the option to delete
+ the configuration and state files. This will get rid of the bogus
+ configuration files. Reinstall the new 1.39.22 version.
+
+ 2) Manually copy the *.conf files from C:\Bacula\bin to
+ C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula.
+
+ 3) Manually edit the *.conf files in C:\Documents and
+ Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula. The links in the Bacula menu
+ can be used to avoid having to enter that ugly path.
+
+ After one of these has been done the upgrade should work fine.
+
+ If you have problems with the above, try the following
+ The new Win32 installer requires that you deinstall any
+ previous 1.39.x beta version before installing the new version.
+ The following is not necessary if you are upgrading from
+ a 1.38.x installation.
+
+ The simplest way to do clean up a prior 1.39.x beta is in a DOS shell:
cd c:\bacula\bin
net stop bacula
will fail, and at least one of the 'sc' commands will fail.
Don't worry about it. After that, try again to install
the new Bacula.

-Fixes for 1.39.20:
-- Writing DVDs should work much better thanks to Richard Mortimer.
-- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
- from File= was not found.
-- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
- do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
- have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
- Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
-- Many cleanups/enhancements for Win32 systems.
-- Correct improperly formated list command output reported by Dan.
-- Eric fixed RunScripts, which I (Kern) had broken in the last beta.
-- Correct Client migration SQL as pointed out by Marc.

New Features in 1.40.0 (beginning of release info)
+- The basic features of Migration are now complete.
+- There is a Migration chapter in the doc.
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
+- There is an Encryption chapter in the doc.
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
- Additional support for removable devices. See the
Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
same chapter.
-- There is a new cross-compiled Win32 File daemon that now has all the features
- that were previously only in the Unix versions.
-
- To install the 1.39.18 Win32 FD, you *must* first stop any
- previous version that is running in a DOS shell with:
-
- net stop bacula
-
- or select the 'Close Bacula' menu item from the Bacula tray icon,
- you should then save your bacula-fd.conf file, and either
- uninstall (using Uninstall.bat in the c:\bacula directory) or
- remove the old installation by manually in a DOS shell in the
- Bacula directory enter:
-
- bacula-fd /remove
-
- after that you can proceed with the installation. My experience
- is that it does not properly create the new bacula-fd.conf file, so
- copy the one saved to the directory you chose to install Bacula,
- or to the directory chosen by the Installer to put the bacula-fd.conf
- file. Then you can start Bacula in a DOS shell with:
+- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio.
+- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
+ command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
+- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
+ triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
+- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
+- Implement mount command for autochanger
+- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
+ from File= was not found.
+- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
+ do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
+ have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
+ Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
- net start baculafd
- or use the Windows Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Component
- Services menu item. The document has been updated (not completely).

Warning for version 1.39.18 and greater:
-- The documentation is almost non-existent for all new features
- except RunScripts (written and documented by Eric Bollengier).
- If you have an old pre 1.39.18 database, you must update it using
the update_bacula_tables script. Please backup your database before
updating just in case.

- terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
- SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
- mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
- use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
-- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
- lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.
-- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with

-
-Release 1.38.6 beta1 24Feb06
-24Feb06
-- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL.
-
-22Feb06
-- Add virtual disk autochanger code.
-- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
- correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.
-- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage().
-- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably
- trashed the stack.

-- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when
- updating all volumes in a Pool.
-- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr.
-- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that
- two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time.
-- Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape,
- dvd, and fifo.
-- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
- a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
-- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger
- scripts.
-- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
-- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
- up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
-- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from
- the Scratch Pool.
-- Implement additional command line options for update Volume.
-- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating

-
-Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
-19Jan06
-- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
-18Jan06
-- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
- so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
-- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
- for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
-
-Release 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
-16Jan06
-- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
- list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
- lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
-15Jan06
-- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
- pool by releasing free buffers.
-14Jan06
-- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
-- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
-12Jan06
-- Make db_lock() mutex error fail the job rather than abort
- Bacula. Canceling the job caused the mutex to fail.
-- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
- number of items goes to zero.
-- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
- so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
- waiting.
-- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
- and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
- These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
- a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
- messages will generally print for each JobId because they
- represent the different problems with either the same drive
- or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
- of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
- or greater is enabled in the SD.
-11Jan06
-- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
- the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
- the job can be manually started from the console.
-- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
- StorageId is zero (old Media records).
-
-Beta release 1.38.4:
-09Jan06
-- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
- slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
-- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
-- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
- drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
- Arno's changer bug.
-07Jan06
-- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
-06Jan06
-- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
- differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
- hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
- util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
- upgrades.
-- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
- incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
- routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
- from under the walk routines.
-
-Release 1.38.3 05Jan06:
-04Jan06
-- Move the suitable_drive flag to a better place to prevent
- premature termination of the reservation if all drives
- are busy -- should fix Arno's diff/inc pool failures.
-26Dec05
-- Add mutex to single thread VSS code in Win32.
-
-Beta release 23Dec05:
-22Dec05
-- Add OPENSSL_INC to console dependencies, lib dependencies, and
- wx-console dependencies in Makefile.in
-- Add OPENSSL INC/LIB to gnome2_console Makefile.in.
-- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
- volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait
- code.
-- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
-- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
- it is not an autochanger.
-- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
- This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
- rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
- file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
-- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
- if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
- Arnos problem.
-- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
-- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
-- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
- code. This should fix bug #500.
