Dear Bareos users,
As previously announced, the latest link on the Bareos download servers
will be removed soon. For several months now, it has been pointing to
version 19.2 as a temporary solution, but will be deprecated in a little
while.
We've decided to dispose of the latest link mechanism to ensure that
changing to another major Bareos version is done intentionally and not
automatically by your OS package manager. The reason is simple: there
might be changes between major versions which require manual intervention.
Please adjust the source URL to our repositories as you see fit:
For keeping Bareos 19.2, change the URL
to https://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/19.2/
To upgrade to our current stable release, use
https://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/20/
Further information about installing and upgrading Bareos can be found
in our manual:
https://docs.bareos.org/IntroductionAndTutorial/InstallingBareos.html#install-the-bareos-software-packages
We’ve released Bareos 20.0.3, 19.2.11, and 18.2.12. All three
maintenance releases are available for download in the repositories for
subscription customers. As always, the source code is available in our
GitHub repository.
The main news is: Bareos 20.0.3 now includes packages for Debian 11
(Bullseye). Apart from that, all maintenance releases are bugfix
releases, mainly adressing issues with the WebUI. For example, we’ve
fixed an issue with IPv6 connections between Bareos Director and WebUI
and a problem with an infinite loop when trying to log into the WebUI
with an invalid account. Also, the WebUI is now able to restore to
clients which have spaces in the file name and restore file trees with
backslashes.
Bareos 20.0.3, 19.2.11, and 18.2.12 released
For more information, have a look at the release notes for 19.2.11 and
18.2.12. Detailed information about Bareos 20.0.3 is available in the
Changelog

Dear community!
1. Bareos 20.0.1 released
Bareos 20.0.1 was released. This is a bugfix release. All users of
Bareos 20.0.0 are requested to update.
Major bugs fixed:
- Problems running multiple jobs using python plugins at the same time
- Problems when using spooling onto tape.
- The bareos-filedaemon-postgresql-python-plugin now also is packaged
for debian-familiy OS
For details please refer to the changelog:
https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/Release/20.0.1/CHANGELOG.md
2. deprecation of /latest
As a significant number of admins actively decide when to update Bareos
environment to a new version
we choose not to update /latest download link.
Upgrading to a newer Bareos version needs to be well thought out and
requires
preparation and planning on productive systems.
We strongly advice against using the /latest link and probably will
remove it
completely in the future.
3. Early Adopter program for Oracle Linux / OLVM
As we're considering full support for Oracle Linux with OLVM [1] please
get in touch with me directly if you're interested in participating.
