Hello,
We are pleased to announce that we have just released Bacula version 7.4.1.
This version consists of mainly bug fixes, most of which are minor, but
some are annoying. If you are a packager, I strongly advise you to take
the 7.4.1 version as opposed to 7.4.0 since version 7.4.1 corrects a number
of problems related to packaging and installation. If you are already
running Bacula version 7.4.0, it is not urgent to upgrade unless you find a
problem you are experiencing on the list of fixes (see ReleaseNotes below).
There is no database update required from 7.4.0, but as usual all Storage
Daemons must be updated to the same version as your Director (presumably
7.4.1).
As a reminder, the Windows File Daemon is available for download on the
www.bacula.org web site for personal use. Since there are no updates to
the Windows FD, version 7.4.1 does not exist. Consequently, please use the
Windows FD version 7.4.0.
We had hoped to release the next major version of Bacula about now, but
four points have come up:
1. I (Kern) took a long deserved lengthy vacation for several months
beginning in February.
2. There is now a huge amount of fixes (some included in 7.4.1) and nice
new features in Bacula Enterprise that need backporting to the
community version. The Bacula Enterprise developers have really been
busy.
3. We decided to implement backup to the cloud, and that is much more work
than I had initially imagined. Now I have the architecture well
defined and a nice test program that works very well so I am currently
integrating parts of the test program into Bacula (the community
version).
4. Before, during and after my vacation, there were a number of nice
patches that were submitted that must be integrated into the code.
It will probably take another couple of months to complete the work and
ensure that it is stable. I will let you know as it progresses.
Rather than wait for the next version, we are releasing this minor bug fix
version.
Thank you for using Bacula.
Kern
