+
+2004-01-12 Version 1.32f-3 12Jan04 Release

+- Change a few errors into warnings -- e.g. if permissions could
+ not be set, but the file is actually restored.

+Release 1.32f-2:
+- This release has two patches applied:
+ 1.32f-1-weekofmonth.patch
+ 1.32f-2-eom-nextvol.patch
+- Fix an incorrect calcualtion of the week of the month reported
+ by Volker Sauer -- patch 1.
+- Fix bug reported by Phil (could not duplicate here) where at the end
+ of a Volume, Bacula wanted a new Volume and got into a loop requesting
+ it, then gave up -- Patch 2.
+- Modify selection of next Volume to select most currently appended Volume,
+ or if none oldest recycled Volume (problem reported by Lars) -- Patch 2.
+- Added new spec file from Scott.
+
+Changes since 1.32e:
+- Note, this change affects only the Win32 FD.
+- Fixed Win32 FD crash due to missing argument in status command. It
+ always crashed if there was a job that had previously run. Thanks to
+ Christopher Hull for finding and diagnosing this problem.
+
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32e-08Dec03
+- Added additional error messages to smtp.
+- Added suse platform directory and configure code. Must be tweaked for
+ SuSe.
+- Added debian platform directory.
+- Fixed fd.in (thanks Dan) to configure subsystem directory.
+- Back ported fix to Week of Month from 1.33
+- Add JobId to Running jobs and Terminated Jobs status list.
+- Fixed "Phil's" bug where after doing a restore from a tape, if the next
+ operation was an append to the same tape, the number of files on the
+ tape and in the catalog got out of sync.
+- Fixed bug in Terminated Jobs status list that repeated the same job.
+
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32d
+- All 1.32d patches applied.
+- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to
+ a single Volume.
+- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to
+ a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first
+ tape block, so the tape is not recognized.
+- Enhance "fill" command of btape -- simpler output. Use -v to
+ cause last block to be dumped after write and after re-read.
+- Added an autochanger test to the btape "test" command. It is
+ automatically invoked if the autochanger is properly configured. It
+ is still a bit primitive but covers the essential of testing
+ the mtx-changer script with your autochanger.
+- Added forward space file test to btape "test" command.
+- New version 1.5.5-1 Cygwin.
+- Select the oldest LastWritten volume during recycling.
+- Modify SD to update the catalog database when it is shutdown,
+ even if the job is canceled.
+- The console program will run all commands it finds in ~/.bconsolerc
+ at startup.
+- Add Dan Langille's changes to the bacula start/stop script that
+ permit dropping root permissions just after startup.
+- The "mark" command in the restore command now provides feedback
+ on how many files were marked.
+
+Other Changes since 1.32d:
+- Fixed getdomainname() prototype on Darwin.
+- Fixed an SQL typo (missing space) in "list volumes jobid=xxx"
+- Fixed crash with "list job"
+- Fixed crash with ' entered as a filename to be restored (any
+ name causing an SQL error would cause the crash).
+- Fixed | syntax in FileSet Include.
+- Corrected crash in restore in some weird cases where the bootstrap
+ file defined in the resource.
+- Fixed a crash when storage daemon did not accept unknown Device.
+- Fixed a rare crash in list nextvol
+- Fixed a compile error if zlib does not exist.
+- Finally got the Gnome console running correctly under Gnome 2.x
+- Print human readable message on error by gethostbyname().
+- Fixed a time conversion problem in tape label.
+- A number of enhancements to btape (more work to be done).
+- Updates to Solaris system installation files.
+- New bacula.spec.in from Scott Barninger -- including a rescue rpm.
+- Slightly different listing and list sorting, more important fields
+ are first.
+
+
+Items to note: !!!!!
+- All daemons should be compatible with all other 1.32x versions,
+ you can mix and match (hopefully).
+
+
+Change in previous releases:
+Most Significant Changes since 1.32c
+- Mainly a bug fix release.
+- Do a clean of both Gnome directories.
+- Require that FileSet id match when finding an Incremental
+ previous job. This was already the case for a Full.

+- Added %v to RunBefore/After editing codes. It edits in
+ a list of Volumes used for the job (not tested).

be used is also added to the "status dir" output.
- Lots of fixes with variable expansion and counter variables
- Implemented a new Include/Exclude syntax.
+- While writing a tape, an end of file mark will be written
