Release 7.0.0 24 Mar 2014

Bacula code: Total files = 713 Total lines = 305,722 The diff between Bacula 5.2.13 and Bacula 7.0.0 is 622,577 lines, which represents very large change.

This is a major new release with many new features and a number of changes. Please take care to test this code carefully before putting it into production. Although the new features have been tested, they have not run in a production environment.

For packagers, if you change options, naming, and the way we link our shared object files, as at least one of you does, you are creating a situation where the user may not be able to run multiple versions of Bacula on the same machine, which is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration that the project cannot properly support.

Please note that the documentation has significantly changed. You will need additional packages to build it such as inkscape. Please see the README and README.pct files in the docs directory. The packages come with pre-build English pdf and html files, which are located in the docs/docs/manuals/en/pdf-and-html directory.

Packagers: please note that the Bacula LICENSE has changed, it is still AGPLv3 and still open source. A new requirement has been added which requires other projects using the source to keep the acreditations.

Packagers: please note that the docs license has changed. It is now licensed: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International This is a common open source license.

Compatibility

As always, both the Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director or Storage daemon must be of the same version.

Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.0.0 Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.
