We are pleased to announce that we have just released Bacula version 7.4.4
This version is a minor bug fix release.
If you are a packager, I strongly advise you to take the 7.4.4 version since it corrects a number of problems related to packaging and installation. If you are already running Bacula version 7.4.0, it is not urgent to upgrade unless you find a problem you are experiencing on the list of fixes (see ReleaseNotes below). There is no database update required from any prior 7.4.x version, but as usual all Storage Daemons must be updated to the same version as your Director (presumably 7.4.4).
As a reminder, the Windows File Daemon is available for download on the www.bacula.org web site for personal use. Since there are no updates to the Windows FD, version 7.4.4 does not exist. Consequently, please use the Windows FD version 7.4.0.
Work is progressing on the next major version, which will have several major new features. It will probably be ready in the spring of 2017.
Thank you for using Bacula.
