+ resources.
+
+Changes to 1.37.41:
+22Oct05
+- Print error message if no Changer Command found.
+- Apply fix from Martin Simmons to clear structure before

+14Oct05
+- Add NetBSD fstype patch from Geert Hendrickx <ghen@telenet.be>
+- Update num_parts only when writing to DVD.
+13Oct05
+- Fix error conditions in bpipe.c DVD routine (terminate buffer).
+- Use a bigger buffer 32K as suggested by Arno in bpipe.c.
+- Increase dvd mount timeout with patch from Arno.
+- Modify DVD code so that it keeps a state flag that indicates

+ either 0 or an errno. There are no negative errnos.
+- Create is_freespace_ok() to test state flag. Also, set_freespace_ok()
+ and clear_freespace_ok(). Modify code to use them. This
+ simplifies a bit the logic of the freespace code.
+- Edit 64bit debug values correctly in dvd.c
+- Fix %e variable to check num_parts rather than part.
+- Use static buffer instead of static buffers for FI_to_ascii()
+ and stream_to_ascii() debug routines in SD. This is to prevent
+ possible race conditions between two threads (possibly Phil's
+ unmount problem).

+ Bacula FD. Thanks to Brandon for passing this fix to Scott.
+05Oct05

+ term solution.
+25Mar05
+- Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.

+ from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
+- Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
+ do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
+- Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
+ to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex

+ failed the job to use the new device wait code.
+22Mar05
+- Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.

+18Mar05
+- Fix more print_name()s for printing device name.
+- Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to

+- Add Python to SD and FD.
+12Mar05
+- Implement IBM labels
+- Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
+- Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
+ passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
+ Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
+ the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
+ This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
+ card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
+- The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.
+
+Changes to 1.37.6:
+11Mar05
+- Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.

+ More work need to a complete conversion.
+07Mar05

+ to be the same.
+06Mar05

+ Find_media catalog request.
+- Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
+ and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.

+ to support cloning.
+- Implemented store_alist_str() to allow multiple string items
+ to be specified in a .conf file.

+- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
+- Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
+10Feb05
+- Ensure that correct error messages are returned when
+ reading an ANSI label.
+09Feb05
+- Modified ANSI label code to preserve any ANSI label
+ already found by skipping over it rather than rewriting
+ it.
+- Split the ANSI label code into ansi_label.c
+- Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
+- Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
+ in a bug report.
+- Added some new dev methods. Most notably was

+ when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
+ in the code.
+07Feb05

+ tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the
+ user has the option of restoring everything.
+- More progress in implementing 64 bit DB Ids.
+- Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
+- Implement update scripts for all database types.
+- First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not
+ recurse).

+ otherwise, ANSI labels will not be accepted when the tape
+ is first mounted.
+02Feb05

+01Feb05
+- Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.
+- Some doc updates.
+- Display more informative message when a device was not
+ found or could not be opened.
+- Add the sqlite3 database scripts.
+- Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
+ a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
+ to be documented).
+- Some minor doc updates.
+- Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
+29Jan05 -- after vacation
+- Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
+ of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
+ to get SQLite3.
+- Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
+- Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
+ boot correctly.
+- Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
+ This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
+ Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
+ changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
+ to 6 characters.
+- Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
+ upgrade script yet.
+- Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
+- Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in
+ Dir conf file.
+- Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
+ info from SD on startup.
+- Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
+- Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
+ still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
+ a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
+ simultaneously.
+- Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
+- Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
+ when the FD connects to the SD.
+- Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
+ methods -- more to come.
+- Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
+ class methods -- more to come.
+- I had serious problems with ACL errors on my Laptop, and so had
+ to add the following patch:
+ @@ -181,7 +181,7 @@
+ }
+ /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
+ and acl_to_text? *****/
+ - return -1;
+ + return 0;
+ }
+- Added edit_int64()
+- Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
+- Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
+ lots of testing!!!!
+- Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
+ of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
+- Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.
+
+Changes to 1.37.2:

+
+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.0
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 138,440 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
+
+Major Changes:
+- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
+- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
+ autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
+ resource in the Storage daemon.
+- There is a new database format that is not compatible
+ with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
+ from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
+- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
+ the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
+- Python Event support has been added. See below for
+ configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
+ so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
+ has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
+- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
+ the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
+ to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
+ BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
+ production.
+- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
+ ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
+ and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
+- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
+ records have been removed from the catalog.
+- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
+- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
+ to Landon Fuller.
+- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
+ other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
+- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
+ to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
+ any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
+ also be used to group jobs.
+- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
+- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
+ backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
+ A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
+ turn on VSS with "Enable VSS = yes" in your FileSet resource.
+- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
+- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
+- SQLite3 support.
+- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
+ is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
+ level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
+- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
+ in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
+
+New Directives:
+- New Job directive "Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no" causes the
+ SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
+ Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
+ it will select the first available drive.
+- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
+ cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
+ Run = "job-name level=%l since=\"%s\""
+ Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
+ is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
+ want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
+ storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
+ default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
+ that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
+ ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
+ and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
+ A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
+ to recurse.
+- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
+ - WildDir xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
+ be matched).
+ - WildFile xxx
+ Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
+ be matched).
+ - RegexDir xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
+ will not be matched).
+ - RegexFile xxx
+ Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
+ will not be matched).
+ - IgnoreCase = yes | no
+ Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
+ This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
+ - FsType = string
+ where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
+ reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
+ systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
+ and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
+ specified on the fstype directive does not match the
+ filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
+ not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
+ backing up non-local filesystems.
+ - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
+ If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
+- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
+ Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
+ If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
+ precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
+- Check Labels = yes | no
+ Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
+ ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
+ is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
+ check the label type.
+- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
+ which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
+ appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
+ so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
+- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
+ a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
+ HardLinks = no
+ in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
+- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines the maximum part size.
+- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
+ must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
+ must be defined in the same Device resource:
+ + Mount Point = directory
+ Directory where the device must be mounted.
+ + Mount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
+ is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
+ Mount Point.
+ + Unmount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
+ command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
+ %m with the Mount Point.
+ + Write Part Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
+ the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
+ with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
+ and %v with the current part filename.
+ + Free Space Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
+ on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
+ the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
+ number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
+- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
+ If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
+ created after the job is finished.
+- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
+ of the manual.
+
+New Commands:
+- "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
+ sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
+ a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
+
+New configure options:
+- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
+ the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
+- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
+ required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
+
+Items to note!!!
+- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
+ to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
+ such as "update slots" may not work.
+- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
+ if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
+ automatically detected if in the standard place.
+- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
+ can be ignored.
+- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
+ old database.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
+ you want TLS communications encryption support.
+- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
+ all cases, so it is turned off.
+- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
+ AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
+ generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
+ Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
+ solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
+ turned on (normally it is -O2).
+
+
+Other Items:
+- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
+ ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
+- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
+ which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
+ Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
+ (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
+ program must be patched using the
+ <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
+ You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
+- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
+ files, called "parts".
+- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
+ Python Scripting chapter in the manual.

+ can be checked. Fixes bug #446
+22Oct05
+- Insure that all the SD tools init the Autochanger
+ resources.
+
+Changes to 1.37.41:
+22Oct05
+- Print error message if no Changer Command found.
+- Apply fix from Martin Simmons to clear structure before

+14Oct05
+- Add NetBSD fstype patch from Geert Hendrickx <ghen@telenet.be>
+- Update num_parts only when writing to DVD.
+13Oct05
+- Fix error conditions in bpipe.c DVD routine (terminate buffer).
+- Use a bigger buffer 32K as suggested by Arno in bpipe.c.
+- Increase dvd mount timeout with patch from Arno.
+- Modify DVD code so that it keeps a state flag that indicates

+- Edit 64bit debug values correctly in dvd.c
+- Fix %e variable to check num_parts rather than part.
+- Use static buffer instead of static buffers for FI_to_ascii()
+ and stream_to_ascii() debug routines in SD. This is to prevent
+ possible race conditions between two threads (possibly Phil's
+ unmount problem).
+12Oct05

+- Remove Created new FileSet message as it always comes out in
+ the daemon messages.
+- eliminate dev_is_tape() in favor of method dev->is_tape()

+- In release_device() do not update the DIR on the Volume
+ info if the the information was already written at the
+ end of the tape.

+ term solution.
+25Mar05
+- Comment out Multiple Connections in the document.
+- Move the P() and V() to subroutines so that they can be accessed
+ from class methods. The reference to strerror() caused problems.
+- Implement new DEVICE class methods block() and unblock() that
+ do what was previously done in 3 lines of code.
+- Implement wait_for_device(), which will wait for any device
+ to be released then return. This requires a new global mutex
+ and condition variable, and is implemented in src/stored/wait.c

+ failed the job to use the new device wait code.
+22Mar05
+- Apply reschedule patch to 1.37 code.
+- Add copyright to title page of manual so it is clear.

+18Mar05
+- Fix more print_name()s for printing device name.
+- Modify open_dev to try 10 times every 6 seconds to
+ open the device if it gets an I/O error (meaning no

+- Add Python to SD and FD.
+12Mar05
+- Implement IBM labels
+- Implement EOF and EOV labels at the end of a volume.
+- Fix a rather ugly problem with the PoolId not getting
+ passed correctly. Now the DIR passes the Pool name and
+ Media Type to the SD, who passes them back when requesting
+ the next Volume. The DIR then looks up the correct PoolId.
+ This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
+ card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).
+- The DIR <==> SD protocol has changed.
+
+Changes to 1.37.6:
+11Mar05
+- Fix scanf of PoolId in catreq to handle 64 bit Ids.

+ More work need to a complete conversion.
+07Mar05
+- Rework some of the autochanger data so that the DIR has
+ the number of drives.
+- Modify the way the Device info is returned so that it comes
+ back as a special message type and can be sent anytime the
+ Device status changes.
+- Copy the change name and changer command into the device
+ record if none is specified.
+- Require the change command and changer name to be specified in
+ and AutoChanger resource.
+- Force all the Media Type records of all devices in an Autochanger
+ to be the same.
+06Mar05
+- Add new "run" command to Job resource in DIR. This permits
+ cloning a job as many times as you want.

+ Find_media catalog request.
+- Reworked the Device resource in the DIR. Eliminated num_waiting
+ and use_count, but added max_writers, reserved, and PoolId.
+- This DIR is nolonger compatible with previous SDs.
+- Add since and cloned keywords to the Console run command
+ to support cloning.
+- Implemented store_alist_str() to allow multiple string items
+ to be specified in a .conf file.

+- Fix Media LabelDate and FirstWritten to be correctly set.
+- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
+- Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
+10Feb05
+- Ensure that correct error messages are returned when

+09Feb05
+- Modified ANSI label code to preserve any ANSI label
+ already found by skipping over it rather than rewriting
+ it.
+- Split the ANSI label code into ansi_label.c
+- Do not let user relabel an ANSI labeled tape.
+- Applied a patch for the console help command supplied
+ in a bug report.

+ when an EOF is just read. This is now used most everywhere
+ in the code.
+07Feb05
+- Added code to detect that no files were inserted into the
+ tree for a restore. If a specific JobId was specified, the
+ user has the option of restoring everything.
+- More progress in implementing 64 bit DB Ids.
+- Modified the daemon start messages for RH.
+- Implement update scripts for all database types.
+- First cut at implementing restore directory (it will not

+- Added Label Type = ANSI|IBM|Bacula to Device resource in SD.
+ If this is set, it will force writing of the appropriate
+ label type.

+ is first mounted.
+02Feb05
+- Second cut ANSI labels.
+01Feb05
+- Merge Preben's patch for ACLs and for Mac OS X resource forks.
+- Some doc updates.
+- Display more informative message when a device was not
+ found or could not be opened.
+- Add the sqlite3 database scripts.
+- Add some patches for 1.36.1 (note, I have now prepared
+ a 1.36.2 with all the patches and some new features --
+ to be documented).
+- Some minor doc updates.
+- Add Arno's baculareport.pl script to the examples directory.
+29Jan05 -- after vacation
+- Add support for SQLite3 (it seems to run at 1/2 the speed
+ of SQLite2). Use --with-sqlite3 instead of --with-sqlite
+ to get SQLite3.
+- Add target for running qemu to boot Rescue CDROM
+- Add code to support kernel 2.6 in Rescue CDROM -- does NOT yet
+ boot correctly.
+- Implement ANSI labels -- not yet tested.
+ This required changes to DB format. No upgrade script yet.
+ Note, more work needed to modify "update" command to handle
+ changing label types, also must restrict volume name lengths
+ to 6 characters.
+- Add new Device, Storage, and MediaType records to DB. No
+ upgrade script yet.
+- Add MediaType to bsr file record types. Not yet used in SD.
+- Permit multiple device specifications in Storage resource in
+ Dir conf file.
+- Implement Device resources. Director requests Device resource
+ info from SD on startup.
+- Note!!!! DIR->SD incompatible with previous versions.
+- Remove multiple Storage definitions in Job resource. One can
+ still specify multiple Storage resources, but they all go into
+ a single alist, and imply sending data to each Storage daemon
+ simultaneously.
+- Implement Device query command between DIR and SD.
+- Allow DIR to "reserve" a Device. It will then be acquired
+ when the FD connects to the SD.
+- Turn all DIR resources into classes, and implement a few class
+ methods -- more to come.
+- Turn DEVICE in SD into a class, and implement a number of inline
+ class methods -- more to come.
+- I had serious problems with ACL errors on my Laptop, and so had
+ to add the following patch:
+ @@ -181,7 +181,7 @@
+ }
+ /***** Do we really want to silently ignore errors from acl_get_file
+ and acl_to_text? *****/
+ - return -1;
+ + return 0;
+ }
+- Added edit_int64()
+- Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
+- Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
+ lots of testing!!!!
+- Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
+ of the code, but I probably broke it. Testing needed!!!!
+- Add AutoChanger resource to SD, but not yet used.
+
+Changes to 1.37.2:
+12Jan05
+- Integrate Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>'s
+ acl patch. Fix case where configured but no ACL exists.

+ and old restore.c in filed. Also turn off code in new
+ acl.c because of errors. The new code, when fully implemented
+ moves platform specific code into acl.c.
+ One of the patches also implements WildFile and WildDir -- thanks.
+01Jan05
+- Implement Python in the SD (no events yet though).
+- Fix some typos in the previous commit.
+30Dec04
+- Enhance CDROM boot to include some documentation at boot time.

+ boot sequence has changed significantly. Updates to come
+ later.
+- Add memtest option to CDROM boot.
+- Include Nicolas' changes to fix llist JobMedia records.
+- Make sure that ClientRunBefore/After messages from the program
+ are terminated with a newline. Add strerror to output error

+- Apply Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
+ three patches that clean up white space:
+ ws.patch.02.strings:
+ Breaks strings that span lines into concatenated strings. I am not sure
+ if you like this one. Other code works with concatenated strings, though.
+ ws.patch.03.trailing:
+ This removes trailing whitespace. No changes resulted from this for
+ my setup.

+- Correct despooling size reported to be Job specific rather
+ than for the whole drive.
+18Dec04
+- Fix bug 207. jcr use count off by one when manually
+ scheduling jobs.
+- Remove FNMATCH test in configure.in and always use
+ the one in our library to get the FN_CASEFOLD GNU
+ extensions on all platforms.
+- While using the rescue CDROM after my computer would not
+ boot, I realized that it would be very useful to have
+ a umount_disks. So, it is not implemented, along with
+ updates to the READMEs and some minor tweaks.
+- Moved mounting the CDROM in the rescue boot from /cdrom
+ to /mnt/cdrom (more standard location).
+- Reboot in CDROM rescue should now work -- requires -d
+ option (no write) to work.
+- Hopefully fixed all the IPV6/4 problems and buffer
+ problems with networking in lib. Bugs 190 and 204.
+ Cleaned up a lot of #ifdefing problems by using routines
+ in address_conf.c

+06Dec04
+- Integrated Preben 'Peppe' Guldberg <peppe@wielders.org>
+ patch to backup directories skipped (due to no file system
+ changes or no recursion), and to add a slash to the end
+ of the directory name during the match process.
+- Implement Jamie ffolliott <jamieff@inline.net>

- This takes more time, but always works, AND allows wild
- card Media Types (i.e. the SD can decide).

-- Added edit_int64()
-- Reworked and tested a bit the htable routines.
-- Major changes to SD acquire.c -- DIR can now reserve devices. Needs
- lots of testing!!!!
-- Made a special state code for DVD -- this simplifies the logic
