[Bacula-users] Bacula BETA 1.39.26 released to Source Forge

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello,

This morning, I release the source tar file for Bacula BETA 1.39.26 to the 
Bacula release area of Source Forge.  At the same time, I released the  
corresponding Win32 binary.

This release is mainly a bug fix release to the prior version for both the 
main core code (Unix) and for the Win32 code.

Although this code passes all my regression scripts and is running in 
production here, I have neither tested it on Solaris nor on FreeBSD due to 
time constraints (I'll be leaving on vacation Monday morning).

Please note, since the released version numbers are unique even for 
beta releases, I have stopped appending the date to the release file, which 
simplifies its name just a bit.

Best regards,

Kern

For your convenience, here are the ChangeLog items that have been added since 
version 1.39.24 was released:

2Oct06
kes  Apply the three patches from Richard Mortimer.
     bacula-reposition.patch, bacula-tape-reopen.patch, and
     bacula-eod.patch. This corrects tape positioning on older devices,
     and also a problem with btape.
kes  Apply fix from bug report #696 where writing to a FIFO does not
     work due to a dumb typo.
kes  Unlock the tape door before the file descriptor is released. This
     should fix lots of somewhat subtle failures when using an autochanger.
11Oct06
kes  Correct mtx-changer bug that I introduced in a recent commit, and
     pointed out by Robert Nelson -- thanks.
rbn  Fix Windows' daemons so that messages print to stdout if not
     running as a service.
rbn  Add daemon name to trace file name (eg bacula-dir.trace).
rbn  Fix environment variable expansion in directory names on Windows.
rbn  Fix autochanger support in fill command.
rbn  Update SQL scripts to match Unix versions.
rbn  Fix daemon usage displays.
rbn  Cleanup bacula-dir.conf template.
rbn  Install openssl.cnf so that the openssl.exe installed in the
     Bacula\bin directory can be used to generate keys and
     certificates for TLS and encryption.
rbn  Fix cleanup of spool files on Windows.
rbn  Remove /silent option from daemons on Windows.  The new default
     is the same as the old /silent.  To enable the message boxes that
     previously were suppressed by /silent you must add /debug instead.
     NOTE: As a result of this change, the first time you upgrade from
           a previous version of 1.39.x you will receive the message
           boxes when the remove of the old services succeeds.  This
           is the same behaviour as when migrating from a version prior
           to 1.39.0.
     However, going forward, these message boxes will not appear on
     upgrades or new installs.
rbn  Add new /debug option. This option enables the message boxes that
     previously were suppressed by the /silent option.  In addition the
     daemons running as services will open a console window if this
     option is used.
rbn  Fix bug with service not being removed on migrated installs.  This
     should correct those cases where the file daemon install was failing
     when upgrading from versions prior to 1.39.x.
08Oct06
kes  Turn on heap reporting in Dir with zero debug level.
kes  Send a message to the sys log when Bacula forces a SEG FAULT, and
     send the same message to stdout.
07Oct06
kes  Begin work on new GUI "console".
kes  Make configure look in non-standard MySQL library directory
     for Solaris.
kes  Make mtx-changer automatically configure the autochanger wait
     procedure for Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux.  Previously, only Linux
     was implemented.
kes  Correct drop_sqlite_tables.in script to not delete the database.
kes  When writing to a log file, close and reopen the file descriptor
     if there is an error writing the file.
kes  Modify the autochanger loaded?, load, and unload commands to print
     the full text of any mtx output if there is an error.  Helps to
     ease diagnosis of autochanger problems.
kes  Correct a few Win32 errno returns in the VSS code so that hopefully
     a resonable Win32 error message will be printed.
kes  Convert a few strcat()... to bstrncat() in the Win32 code.
06Oct06
rbn  Added Windows version of bsmtp.
rbn  Fixed path search for Windows so that Bacula\bin is automatically
     searched for programs and scripts.
rbn  Fixed bugs in mtx-changer.cmd and made template bacula-sd.conf
     Windows specific.
