[Bacula-announce] Bacula 1.31-22Jun03 BETA release

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

Hello,

I have just posted the latest Bacula 1.31 22Jun03 release
including Windows binaries.  If you are currently on version
1.31, please upgrade, but do not re-do the database upgrade.

If you are currently on version 1.30a, and desire the most stable
Bacula, I do not recommend you upgrade. If you are ready to
confront the "bugs" in a development version, I appreciate
you upgrading.

For those of you already on version 1.31, the main changes
since the 10Jun03 BETA release are:
- Faster restores due to fast block rejection.
- Improved gnome-console history handling.
- New "estimate" command in Console that provides an estimate
  of the number of files and bytes to be backed up, and optionally
  a full listing of the filenames.
- Rather extensive Volume name generation for automatic tapes
  labeling which permits a large variety of tape naming conventions.
- A new "var" command for testing tape naming expansion strings.
- Better canceling of FD if blocked on writing to SD (not implemented
  for Win32).
- Multiple simultaneous jobs now works.

Please see the Release Notes and Change Log for the gory details.

>From this point on, I'm trying to maintain a feature freeze, and if
all goes well the released version of 1.31 will be sometime around
mid-July (possibly a bit later).

Best regards,

Kern
