Hello,
This is to let you know that I have release the source tar file and Win32
binaries for Bacula BETA 1.39.34 to Source Forge. I expect that this is
pretty much the final code before production release, and I recommend that as
many of you as possible to try it. I'm pleased to see that there were 163
downloads of the previous beta -- thanks.
Please note that I have not run the usual regression scripts on this version
on Solaris or FreeBSD. I will run them before the final release to ensure
that there are no unexpected problems.
The ReleaseNotes for this release are the same as for the prior release (I
even forgot to update the version). However, I've listed the ChangeLog
difference below for your information. The main changes are lots of bug
fixes.
The only remaining task at this point for final production release (barring
any new serious bugs) is to cleanup the ReleaseNotes a bit. There are still
a number of new features that are not documented in the manual, but I have
pretty much run out of steam on documenting, so they will probably have to
wait until later.
Please remember I am counting on the Bacula community to come up with a way of
testing on all platforms other my development platform since after the next
release, in order to reduce my personal workload, I will only test on my
personal development machine (currently a SuSE 10.2). Many thanks to Dan
Langille (FreeBSD) and Peter Eriksson (Solaris) for providing me test machine
access.
I hope you all had a nice Christmas vacation, and best wishes for 2007.

====== Excerpt of ChangeLog ========
Version 1.39.34 released:
28Dec06
kes Convert dbcheck to use 64 bit DB IDs.
kes Update projects
kes Make rescue work.
kes Clarify Volume migration error message.
kes Look for Job keyword when opening DB in console.
23Dec06
kes Add code in catreq.c to reject volumes not marked Enabled.
kes Add a few more ACL access checks.
kes Add \n in gnome2-console restore command so that output prints
nicer -- i.e. lines do not run together.
kes Fix autolabeling so that it will not mark a volume in error
if the volume was not actually opened. This should fix bugs
#737 and 738.
kes Require tape drive to be open before autolabeling.
kes Require explicit mount command on non-tapes before autolabeling.
kes Implement an open_client_db() that searches the keywords for
either a catolg or client, and opens the appropriate catalog.
This makes Bacula adjust better to multiple catalogs.
kes Use more name() methods for resources rather than hdr.name.
22Dec06
kes Fix code to check for two resources of same name. It forgot
to check the last entry. Fixes bug #734.
kes Apply scanvolume patch from Richard Mortimer that fixes bug
#738.
kes Apply Eric's patch for recycling the Scratch pool.
kes Note, for the tray-monitor (or almost any restricted console_
to work, in version 1.39.x you must add CatalogACL = catalog-name
kes Add appropriate new #undefs to autoconf/acconfig.h so that
configure works correctly.
kes Implement configure code to allow the user to disable IPv6 with
--disable-ipv6
kes Apply Richard Mortimer's patch to prevent seg fault if mount point
not specified -- SD refuses to start.
kes Add magic.bacula from bug #715 to the scripts directory along with
Arno's explanation of how to install it.
kes Convert a bunch of hdr.name into name() method calls.
kes Fix the code to remove .bsr files. Fixes bug #736 -- Martin.
Version 1.39.32 released:
