Re: [Bacula-users] Resume backup job

Hello,
Bacula is a big, stable and mature backup program, so between
major versions, it is quite often a year -- this is because the
new features are often very complex and big projects. In between
major versions there are more frequent update releases. The next
version, which should be released shortly will be a bit over one
year from the Bacula 7.0.5 release. This is normal as noted above
because the next version is a major release, and in addition 7.0.5
is quite stable although there are bugs. By the way, the next
release at this moment has about 230,000 lines of diff output from
version 7.0.5.
As for as releasing with bugs. Well that goes very well for
Microsoft and most open source projects, but I feel it is a bad
idea for a backup program, which one wants to be stable, robust
and reliable. However there are others who have prefer to develop
and release, and if you look you can even find backup projects
that believe in that. I prefer to minimize user pain from bugs as
much as is possible and that takes time and lots of testing.
Best regards,
Kern
