Release 9.4.1 21 Dec 2018

This is a minor bug fix release for 9.4.0. It should fix a few of the warning messages, but not all, on FreeBSD and Solaris. More importantly The ./configure process now properly detects that libs3 is installed on your system. If you do not want to use the Amazon S3 driver, this update is not required.

In addition to this release, I have posted the current source code with patches for libs3 to bacula.org. This package is needed if you wish to build the S3 driver. You may download it from the following location:

https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz
