Bacularis-App 4.7.1

This is the bug fix and update release. Even though in this version we didn't add new functions,
this is significant release because we updated to latest version the major libraries which
Bacularis uses. Specially worth to mention is the table library that required adding many changes
to adapt Bacularis for the newest version.

With this release we also changed source of taking the front-end dependencies from the Bower package
registry to the NPM package registry. It is because from a long time the Bower has been announced as
deprecated and NPM registry better fits the Bacularis requirements. The only dependencies that still
are taken from Bower are the PRADO framework dependencies: jQuery and jQuery-UI, that source we
are not able to change.

On the bug fix side, we fixed couple of problems. At the end we improved the general web interface
view and we changed the default fonts. It can be specially noticeable for the Firefox web browser users.

Bacularis-App 4.7.0

This is a new function release. This time we focused on new usability functions and improvements.

The first new function is tagging. This feature enables to tag almost all resource types available
in the tables. There can be tagged Bacula resources (jobs, clients, volumes...) and Bacularis
resources (users, roles, API hosts...). Everywhere the tag icon is available, there is possible to
tag elements.

Second usability function is data views for the Bacula configuration resources. Data views allow to
arrange in groups the resources by defined criterias. So far, the data views were available for only
a few resources. Now there is possible to use it also with the Bacula config resources both for
Director, Storage, Client and Console components configuration. For example users can group in
logical sets the FileSets or Clients or Jobs or all other configuration resources.

In addition to these two major features, we have also made some smaller improvements to the overall
experience of the web interface.

Bacularis-App 4.6.0

This is a new feature and bug fix release. It provides many new functions and
improvements. We added an interface to install, renew and uninstall SSL certificates.
The renewing certificate process can be run by system scheduler (cron,
systemd timer...) or triggered manually on demand on the web interface.

We prepared support for creating two certificate types: self-signed certificates
created locally and Let's Encrypt certificates obtained from external CA. Certificates
are created, installed, and automatically configured in the web server configuration.
The Let's Encrypt certificates are acquired using ACME protocol with HTTP-01 challenge.

Besides that we added a new web server settings function with network options. Currently
there is possible to change on the web interface the Bacularis web server port.

In the Bacularis health self-test suite we added two new tests. They are to check
bconsole and catalog access time. They can help diagnosing performance issues.

New users installing Bacula through the Bacularis initial wizard will be able to test
credentials before running the installation because we added a button to perform this
type of test.

At the end we did many other smaller improvements, specially in the deployment
functions and authentication modules.

the databases backup in various ways: dump backup (in three variants), binary physical
online backup, backup for Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR), file backup for crucial
database server files. This two plugin solution also introduces real incremental
and differential database backups for the dump backup method. We are very glad
that we provides these plugins for the Community. More information about
the database plugins you can find in the Bacularis documentation.

Besides new plugins, we also did some changes and small improvements in the
deployment process. At the end we fixed a couple of bugs reported by the Community.

and Bacularis. Users who already use the tape storage with Bacula, now using
this wizard can enable the Bacularis autochanger management. At the end
single tape drive users are able to add this device to Bacula.

cloud storage users. It is a new wizard that creates a new cloud storage ready
to work with Bacula. The only requirement is to have the cloud plugin installed.
Rest is realized in this new wizard. There is possible to create both single
cloud storage and cloud autochangers as well.

We improved a functions to set access for specific Bacula resources. They are
functions on the security page. We also added protection to not assign restricted
access to the 'Main' host that always should stay the full access host.

error.

Main changes

Bacularis Common

• Fix non-existing module definition

Bacularis-App 4.2.0

Bacularis 4.2.0 introduces support for a plugin interface on the API side.
So, since now users are able to create own API-side plugins in the same way
as they can already create Web-side plugins. For a good start we provided
a Bacula configuration plugin interface and we prepared first API plugin for
attaching pre/post config actions.

On the Bacula deployment side, we extended support for Bacula packages from
bacula.org. It significantly simplifies configuring OS profiles to use
bacula.org packages. It causes that using system Bacula packages, packages
from bacula.org or packages provided in self-hosted package repository can
easily be configured in the OS profile.

the deployment function.

Bacularis-App 4.1.0

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.
