I think you really have to go with option 1. If it's not really 1.38,
then releasing it as 1.38 is going to give a lot of people headaches
(especially those that are relying upon stable versions).

Hello,
I have an important decision to make concerning updates to 1.38, and before
making it, I would like to get your input.
The current "production" release is Bacula version 1.38.2. Between the time
it was released (22 November 2005) and now, there are a number of bugs that
have been fixed, which some users might want to include in their system.
The problem is that these fixes are for the most part in version 1.39, and are
quite difficult to back port to 1.38.
There are a number of different ways to handle the problem:
1. Back port the important fixes to the 1.38 stream and release a 1.38.3 (at
least 1 week of work).
2. Release the current 1.39.2 but as version 1.38.3 (1 day's work)
3. Release the current 1.39.2 as version 1.39.2 (same work as item 2)
4. Don't do anything
Now, I would like to get the fixes in the hands of the users, so I can rule
out option 4. My preference is for options 2 or 3, because it will most
quickly allow me to get on with development rather than maintenance. The
problem with option 2 is that there are a good number of new features in
1.39.2, which are not yet stable. At the same time, all the base features of
1.38.2 appear to me to be quite stable in 1.39.2.
So, I would appreciate your input on this subject.
Below, I include for your information the technical notes on what is in
version 1.39.2 that is not in version 1.38.2 (or bugs that are fixed).
