New release Bacularis 4.1.0

[ganiuszka]

Hello Everybody,

We are pleased to let you know about a new Bacularis release. We continue the action "Bacula for Everybody!" for making first contact with Bacula easier for new users and this time we prepared a new file storage wizard. It enables to create both single storage devices and multi-device autochangers as well.

Second significant change is support for plugins. This is a friendly plugin interface to easily extend Bacularis for new functions. The first step in this feature is support for the web interface plugins. To prepare a plugin you will need a bit of knowledge about PHP language and object-oriented programming. If you are not strong PHP programmer, don't worry, it is really simple interface to create new plugins. We also prepared two first plugins: for e-mail notifications and for Mattermost notifications.

Finally, we would like to thank the entire Community for bug reports, ideas and for being active. With your involvement we can much more.
