[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello,

Earlier today, I released Bacula version 1.24.  Here are my
release notes:

Release Notes for Bacula 1.24

This is a major release since it has a number of important
enhancements as well as a lot of fixes and changes in
general.


Major Changes this Release:
- Interactive Restore command in the Console program.
- Major SQLite performance improvements by adding indexes.
- Corrected a problem inserting Windows filenames in
  SQLite databases.
- SQLite uses transactions for performance.
- File daemon for Irix (untested).
- Scheduler enhanced. More enhancements to come.
- New dbcheck program for fixing database inconsistencies.
- Lots of new documentation including a new "Restore" chapter.
- Dependency package splite in two (depkgs and depkgs1).


Important:
- SQLite users must recreate their databases to take advantage
  of the performance improvements (added indexes).
      cd bacula-1.24/src/cats
      ./drop_sqlite_tables
      ./make_sqlite_tables
  If you ABSOLUTELY must keep your existing database, please contact
  me for a way to add the new indexes while keeping your previous 
  data.


See the ChangeLog for details.


I've also split depkgs into two packages depkgs and depkgs1.

Best regards,

Kern
