32 kes Change berrno::strerror() to berrno::bstrerror(). Not yet full
34 kes Pass jcr to crypt_sign_decode because it creates a new SIGNATURE
36 kes Define b_errno_win32 on Linux to be zero so that it can be or'ed in
37 to force Win32 error message.
39 kes First cut strip path. The data should be passed to the FD,
40 but nothing is done with it yet.
41 kes Enhance the digest and signature routines in the crypto
42 library to accept a JCR and to use it to print error messages
43 so that they will go in the Job report rather than the daemon's
45 kes Simplify some of the verify signature code.
46 kes Simplify a few of the alternative returns in the signature

122 Add a regression script to test RunScript
124 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
127 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
128 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
129 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
130 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
132 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
135 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
136 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
138 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
139 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
140 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
141 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
142 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
143 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
145 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
146 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
147 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.

157 kes Tweak new Volume code.
159 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
160 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
161 should be enclosed in double quotes.
162 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
163 it should normally be off in a production system.
165 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
166 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
167 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
168 is now owned by the device.
170 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
171 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
172 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
174 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
175 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.

181 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
182 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
183 kes Move drop root privilege and check_catalog() before fork.
184 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
186 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
187 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
188 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
189 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
190 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
191 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
193 kes Make database name and user configurable
194 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
195 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
197 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.

219 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
220 No install yet though.
222 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
223 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
224 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
225 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
227 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
228 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
230 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
231 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
232 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
234 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
235 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
236 amount of duplicated code.
237 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
238 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
239 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
241 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
243 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
244 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
245 Fix sql stuff for mysql
247 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
248 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
249 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
250 of other prune/purge subroutines.
251 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
252 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
254 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
255 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
256 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
257 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
258 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
260 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
261 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
263 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
264 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
265 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
266 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
267 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
268 and bacula access to the DB.
269 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
270 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
271 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
272 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
273 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
274 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
275 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
277 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
278 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
279 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
281 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
282 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
285 kes Extend new GUI API.
286 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
287 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
289 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
291 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
292 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
294 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
296 kes More bat implementation.
297 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
298 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
299 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
300 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
301 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
302 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
303 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
304 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
306 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
309 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
310 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
311 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
312 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
314 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
315 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
317 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
318 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
320 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
321 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
324 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
326 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
328 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
329 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
331 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
332 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
333 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
335 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
336 than English. Fixes bug #788.
338 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
340 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
341 It will be fixed soon.
342 If you want to use this, you can apply
343 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
345 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
346 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
347 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
348 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
349 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
350 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
351 update volume=xxx frompool
352 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
355 RecyclePool = Scratch
359 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
360 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
361 that returns more information and will make it easier
362 to interface to the Director from a program.
364 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
365 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
366 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
367 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
368 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
369 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
370 the Changer Command to an empty string.
372 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
373 in a single write() request rather than in two.
374 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
375 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
377 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
378 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
379 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
380 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
382 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
383 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
385 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
386 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
387 was opened, it is closed.
389 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
390 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
391 in the case of orphaned records.
392 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
393 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
394 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
395 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
396 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
397 happens to the ScratchPool?
398 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
399 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
400 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
401 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
402 times are in Bacula units.
403 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
405 kes Update projects list.
407 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
408 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
409 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
410 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
411 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
413 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
414 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
415 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
417 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
418 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
420 Switch to using Subversion
421 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
423 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
424 plus the entrypoints.
425 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
426 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
427 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
429 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
430 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
432 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
433 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
434 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
436 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
437 problem is with read or append.
439 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
440 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
441 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
442 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
443 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
444 (i.e. migration jobs).
445 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
446 a memory leak problem.
447 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
448 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
449 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
450 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
451 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
452 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
453 (hides some of the ugly casting).
454 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
455 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
456 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
457 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
458 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
459 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
460 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
461 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
462 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
464 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
466 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
467 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
468 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
470 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
471 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
473 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
474 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
476 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
477 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
478 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
479 other DIR specifications.
481 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
482 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
483 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
485 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
487 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
488 backup. This should fix bug #755.
489 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
493 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
494 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
495 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
497 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
499 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
500 This *should* fix bug #747.
501 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
504 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
505 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
506 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
507 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
508 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
509 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
511 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
512 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
