We have released Bacula Version 5.2.10 to Source Forge
General:
The 5.2.10 version is a significant bug fix release including
our first cut of AFS support.
Please note that with this version of Bacula, during the install
of the shared libraries from the src/cats, src/lib, and src/findlib
directories, any old Bacula libraries in the installation
destination directory will be removed. This should not cause
any problems and at least keeps the installation library cleaner.
For packagers, if you change options, naming, and the way
we link our shared object files, as at least one of you does,
you are creating a situation where the user may not be able
to run multiple versions of Bacula on the same machine, which
is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration
that the project cannot properly support.
If you are upgrading from a version older than 5.2.9, please
read all the old ReleaseNotes of all versions released
after the version you are upgrading from. There area
many important notices sumarized here, and we do not
repeat them each bug fix release.
Compatibility:
As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
the same time.
Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.9
Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
Daemons.
