Latest news

This is new feature and bug fix release that brings many new changes. The biggest change is add-on support. We prepared a new Bacularis Add-ons web service where you can download plugins, themes and language packs for Bacularis. We encourage you to visit this website because we will regularly add there new add-ons. For now we share there a few resources but we have plenty of ideas for new add-ons, so more should come soon. You can find there for example: plugins, various coloured themes and translations into new languages (German, Spanish, Italian). The Bacularis Add-ons web service is available here: addons.bacularis.app

On the plugin side, we prepared changes for a new plugin types. They are the action plugins. The most interesting is that the action plugins are not linked to any place in Bacularis. They provide functions that can be attached to different actions in system. For example, a job action plugin can be attached to post-create job event, but the same it can be attached to run-job event or others. This change introduces a lot of flexibility in using plugins, that can be executed on many actions in Bacularis.

On the Community request we prepared a new API host job access plugin that is the action plugin and which enables easier managing restricted access for users to Bacula resources. Besides that, we created a job action plugin to work with job plugins.

Thanks to the Community activity we fixed a couple of bugs in the web interface and API parts.
