Hello,

I'm considering the following ideas for the next couple of Bacula releases, 
and would like your ideas.

1. Release version 2.0.4 in the next week or two with a couple more bug fixes.

2. Release either version 2.0.5 or more likely version 2.2.0 within 4-8 weeks, 
targeting 6 weeks.

Version 2.2.0, would be essentially the current Bacula trunk, which has the 
following major changes from the 2.0.x stream:

1. The new SQL attribute insertion code, which runs significantly faster on 
PostgreSQL, and for multiple simultaneous jobs runs with much less database 
locking.

2. The red/black in memory restore code, which in my tests on restoring 800K+ 
files, ran over 500 times as fast as the current code.

3. Some important new communications protocols that support bat.

4. A first cut of bat that "roughly" implements the same features as the 
gnome-console.  This is not much, but it does give a base for further 
incremental improvements, and will permit easier user participation in the 
development.

5. The additional features that Eric has already added (Scratch pool, ...).

6. Possibly a few additional features depending on what the developers respond 
to this email.

Comments?

Regards,

Kern
