Bacula 1.32e released

Hello,

Earlier today, I released Bacula version 1.32e tar source as well as the
Windows binaries to Source Forge.  This version has all the latest fixes
backported from version 1.33, yet remains 100% compatible (I hope) with
prior 1.32 releases so you can mix and match your daemons or upgrade a
bit at a time. Of course, to take advantage of all the fixes, you need
to upgrade everything.

Unfortunately, I am not able to personally test the Windows binaries in
production mode, because I'm on 1.33, but 1.32e has been running with no
problems for at least a week at another site.

I recommend that everyone upgrade especially those who were having
problems with Win2K as there is a new version of Cygwin.  If you have
Cygwin installed, you *must* install version 1.5.5-1 or the Bacula
Windows client stands little chance of working.

I include a partial listing of the ReleaseNotes below. The full details
can be found on Source Forge and in the source code.

Best regards, Kern

          Release Notes for Bacula 1.32e
 
  Bacula code: Total files = 261 Total lines = 80,969 (*.h *.c *.in)
 
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. (NOTE! it is .bconsolerc -- compatible with 1.33).
- 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.
