Hello, I have just released Bacula BETA 1.39.24.20061002 source and the Win32 binaries to Source Forge. This is very likely to be the last beta release or next to last release before the official 1.40 production release in the second half of November.
There are quite a number of areas of this code that need careful testing, and over the next week, I'll try to come up with a list of items. If you are already using version 1.39.x, the upgrade should be relatively simple and there are no changes in the 1.39.x client protocols, but you should upgrade the Director and Storage daemon simultaneously. Please read the full ChangeLog for details of what has changed since beta 1.39.22. If you are upgrading from 1.38.x, please read the release notes carefully as there are a number of "gotcha" and incompatibilities as well as a database upgrade, all of which generally go quite smoothly providing you read the Release Notes. Although there are a lot of fixes and enhancements since 1.39.22, the main items to know about for 1.39.24 are: - Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable. - Win32 external script excution is much more flexible -- handles spaces in names better, ... - Lots of DVD fixes -- I think they now work! - Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect any Catalog ACL. ==== IMPORTANT a stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash ===== - A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses the tape drive. Workaround, load a Fedora kernel, which works fine, or load the SuSE 10.2 rc5 kernel which also works fine. Note, the SuSE crash noted above is not a Bacula, nor a Bacula specific problem rather it is a kernel bug, and the SuSE kernel guys are actively working on it. If anyone needs a SuSE 10.2 rc5 kernel let me know, and I will upload the rpm to my web site. I extracted it from the 10.2 rc5 ISO disk as to the best of my knowlege it is not yet available directly for download.
