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

218 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
219 should be enclosed in double quotes.
220 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
221 it should normally be off in a production system.
223 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
224 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
225 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
226 is now owned by the device.

244 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
245 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
246 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
247 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
248 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
249 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
251 kes Make database name and user configurable
252 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
253 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
255 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

278 No install yet though.
280 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
281 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
282 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
283 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
285 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
286 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
288 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
289 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
290 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
292 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
293 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
294 amount of duplicated code.
295 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
296 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
297 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
299 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
301 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
302 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
303 Fix sql stuff for mysql
305 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
306 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
307 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
308 of other prune/purge subroutines.
309 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
310 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
312 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
313 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
314 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
315 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
316 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
318 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
319 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
321 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
322 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
323 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
324 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
325 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
326 and bacula access to the DB.
327 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
328 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
329 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
330 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
331 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
332 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
333 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
335 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
336 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
337 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
339 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
340 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
343 kes Extend new GUI API.
344 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
345 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
347 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from

350 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
352 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
354 kes More bat implementation.
355 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
356 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
357 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
358 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
359 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
360 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
361 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
362 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
364 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
367 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
368 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
369 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
370 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
372 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
373 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
375 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
376 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
378 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
379 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
382 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
384 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
386 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
387 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
389 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
390 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
391 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
393 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
394 than English. Fixes bug #788.
396 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
398 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
399 It will be fixed soon.
400 If you want to use this, you can apply
401 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
403 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
404 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
405 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
406 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
407 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
408 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
409 update volume=xxx frompool
410 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
413 RecyclePool = Scratch
417 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
418 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
419 that returns more information and will make it easier
420 to interface to the Director from a program.
422 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
423 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
424 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
425 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
426 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
427 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
428 the Changer Command to an empty string.
430 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
431 in a single write() request rather than in two.
432 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
433 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
435 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
436 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
437 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
438 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
440 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
441 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
443 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
444 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
445 was opened, it is closed.
447 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
448 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
449 in the case of orphaned records.
450 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
451 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
452 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
453 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
454 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
455 happens to the ScratchPool?
456 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
457 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
458 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
459 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
460 times are in Bacula units.
461 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
463 kes Update projects list.
465 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
466 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
467 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
468 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
469 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
471 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
472 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
473 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
475 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
476 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
478 Switch to using Subversion
479 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
481 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
482 plus the entrypoints.
483 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
484 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
485 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
487 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
488 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
490 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
491 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
492 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
494 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
495 problem is with read or append.
497 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
498 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
499 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
500 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
501 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
502 (i.e. migration jobs).
503 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
504 a memory leak problem.
505 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
506 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
507 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
508 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
509 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
510 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
511 (hides some of the ugly casting).
512 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
513 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
514 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
515 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
516 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
517 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
518 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
519 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
520 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
522 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
524 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
525 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
526 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by

529 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
531 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
532 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
534 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
535 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
536 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
537 other DIR specifications.
539 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
540 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
541 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
543 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
545 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
546 backup. This should fix bug #755.
547 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
551 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
552 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
553 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
555 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
557 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
558 This *should* fix bug #747.
559 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
562 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
563 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
564 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
565 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
566 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
567 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
569 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
570 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
