General:
- Lots of changes to the documentation.
- Better handling of tapes at EOM.
- Cancelling jobs should now work better (not tested).
- Labelling of tapes is now done in the Console
program by preference.
- Numerous improvements to the Console user interface
mainly by presenting a list of choices. This
needs to be implemented in more places.
- Created a smtp program that will send email.
Changes submitted this submission:
- Major reorganization and improvement of the documentation.
This is only a drop in the bucket, much more remains to
be done.
- Fixed bstrdup() so that ophaned buffers will point
to the original code rather than the bstrdup() subroutine.
- Added an MD5 signature to FileSets so that any change
in the file set will force a Full save.
- Added a LabelDate to the Media record so that in code
to be implemented, we can ensure that a tape is labelled
only once.
- Modified virtually all the Bacula internal database
routines to use binary read/writes rather than sprintf
and sscanf. This simplifies the code, but makes the
database byte order dependent. I added a lot of additional
functionality and did quite a bit of general cleanup.
The Job database still uses printf/sscanf.
- Added code that creates a FileSet record that is
unique by its name and its MD5 signature. This ensures that
if you change the FileSet, a new FileSet record will be
created and a Full save will be forced.
- Implement default values for integer and 64 bit configuration
variables.
- Massive changes to the User Agent (console program). Separated
the code into multiple files, added code that prompts the
user and provides a list of appropriate responses. This new
code is now used in many places -- more work to be done.
More testing of the code is necessary, I have not yet tested
all possible paths where I changed the code.
- Implemented a simple smtp program which sends email.
- Implemented an MailCommand configuration record for the
Message resource, which specifies the mail program to be
used.
- Implemented multiple email addresses on a single record.
Not tested.
- Quite a lot of cleanup of handling Volume names in the Storage
daemon. Corrected a number of problems with End of Medium
handling and labelling of tapes. Corrected problems in
cancelling a program.
- Removed the code in message.c that automatically marked jobs
in error when an M_FATAL message is sent. It is a good idea,
but a bit premature because a thourough audit of error messages
is needed first.
