Hello Kern, also a very great New Year to you and all Bacula-developers (I know, the Bacula-users will have a great year, at least with Bacula :-))
I've only a short question regarding the next versions plan to add support for MySQL 5.5: what is the problem with MySQL 5.5? I've updated MySQL on my Bacula-Director during the holidays to version 5.5.8 and up to now I don't see any problem...

Although there has not been any major change since my last status message in September 2010, I would like to let you know where we currently are and where we think we are going. 1. Current version 2. Next version 3. Bacula conference 4. Bacula Systems 5. Your feedback Current version: Our current version of Bacula is 5.0.3, and it seems quite stable. As mentioned in the last report, we do have a growing number of bugs. We haven't yet made much progress (little community participation) and lots of new development work keeping us busy. Hopefully the New Year will bring us more time to dive into bugs. Next version: We expect the next version (probably 5.2.0) to be released in February-April 2011. It already has significantly advanced with the following items: - License change from GPLv2 to AGPLv3 - Many improvements to Bat + a more stable build - Restore file selection lsmark shows output properly indented - Many improvements and bug fixes to the plugin API - Additional ACL handling - Bacula-web enhancements - New Maximum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth Per Job directives - new Purge Migrate Job directive - Probable workaround for OpenSSL seg fault after sys call interrupt - VSS snapshot failures now fail Jobs - Core code delta code - Improvements to deadlock detection - Fix bug #1633 where Windows service was not properly removed with /remove - Make Bacula compatible with MySQL 5.5 - Make SD automatically fix the Volume size in the Catalog when out of sync - Allow to run Verify job against any job (project 12) - Start FTP storage daemon backend integration - New prune algorithm to avoid orphan incremental/differential jobs - New CRC32 implementation (much faster) - Implement %f %b to get JobFiles, JobBytes in RunScript Hopefully, it will have even more new features by the time it is released. After the new release, we will do a new vote on the Projects list. Bacula conference: Our first Bacula conference (for everyone) took place on the 27th and 28th of September, in Yverdon, Switzerland near the Bacula Systems office. There was much more participation that I had expected. Next year, we will probably hold the Bacula conference in Germany in conjunction with the DassIT annual conference. Bacula Systems: Bacula Systems is continuing to supply many, if not most, of the new features to the Bacula project. My time for the project, as I had previously predicted, has been reducted a bit due to the ongoing Bacula Systems activities, but in addition to myself, there are now three other Bacula Systems employees regularly contributing to the project. We hope to see this grow in the future. Your feedback: I appreciate the fact that all of you use, and contribute to the project (documentation, bug fixes, ideas, translations, helping other users, ...). Please keep it up for 2011. There is one very simple way that you can help me understanding what you like and dislike about Bacula and Bacula Sytems so that I can improve them. This is by participating in a very short, completely anonymous (no IP address capture or anything), survey. If you would like to help in this way, please follow the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5CXJ7S3 After 30 January, the survey will no longer accept input. Please do me a New Year's favor and complete it well before the deadline. Thanks for using Bacula. :-) Best wishes for 2011 and beyond, Kern ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
