Hello,
Unfortunately due to a Enterprise backport of code to the Community
version, three files were released to version 9.6.4 with Enterprise
copyrights. In addition there were apparently several missing image
files in the documentation. Thus we have withdrawn version 9.6.4
and replaced it with version 9.6.5. If either of the just mentioned
problems worry you, please update to version 9.6.5. Otherwise versions
9.6.4 and 9.6.5 are identical. I regret any inconvenience.
This is to announce that we have released Bacula version 9.6.5 to
Source Forge and to www.bacula.org. This is a major security and
bug fix release. We suggest everyone to upgrade as soon as possible,
especially if you are using or want to use the S3 cloud driver. Note: I have
done some significant testing on building and running the S3 cloud drive
with Amazon cloud. In doing so, I found and fixed a significant bug that
caused the cloud driver (and possibly other drivers) that caused memory
loss (orphaned buffers).
One significant improvement is for the AWS S3 cloud driver. First the
code base has been brought much closer to the Enterprise version (still
a long ways to go). Second is that the community code now uses the latest
version of libs3 as maintained by Bacula Systems. The libs3 code is
available as a tar file for Bacula version 9.6.5 at:
www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20200523.tar.gz
Version 9.6.5 and later must be compiled with the above libs3 version or
later.
To build libs3:
- Remove any libs3 package loaded by your OS
- Download above link
- tar xvfz libs3-20200523.tar.gz
- cd libs3-20200523
- make # should have no errors
- sudo make install
Then when you do your Bacula ./configure <args> it should automatically
detect and use the libs3. The output from the ./configure will show
whether or not libs3 was found during the configuration. E.g.
S3 support: yes
in the output from ./configure.
The binary files should be released within the next week or two.
For your convenience, I have included some more of the details from the
ReleaseNotes file below.
Thanks for using Bacula.
Be happy,
Kern
