Bacularis Project Report – 22 December 2025
22 Dec 2025, 08:46
This is a new report in which you can read about what's new in the project.
Hello Everyone,
We’re back with a new set of updates and plans from the Bacularis Project as we approach the end of the year and look ahead to the near future. If you’d like to know what’s happening in Bacularis, you’re in the right place.
Current Version
At the beginning of December, we successfully released version 5.9.0, which includes the MS SQL Server plugin and several other enhancements. This release has proven to be stable and solid. Thank you very much for all your feedback.
After the release, we spent some time building RPM binary packages due to changes in SELinux packages in base RPM-based systems.
In addition, thanks to @masmika, we are preparing new video guides. As always, we provide ongoing support for the community.
What’s Coming Next
We are currently preparing changes for the next release, which will be version 5.10.0. This release will focus on several key areas:
- Minimal OS support
This feature introduces improved support for minimal operating systems with only basic tools installed. These systems are commonly used in containerized environments (Docker, Podman, LXC, etc.), but not exclusively. This change is based on a feature request from community member @megapegabot. - Onboarding
We are working on improvements across multiple areas to make it easier for new users to get started with Bacularis. These changes include updates to the website, documentation, and the web interface. Some parts are already available, such as the Quick Start Guide, which you can find here:
https://bacularis.app/quick-start
We are now adding further enhancements to the web interface, including a welcome screen, guided tour, and more. - sudo-rs
We are planning to implement the second phase of changes related to advanced sudo-rs support within Bacularis features.
In addition to these major items, version 5.10.0 will include important fixes and other improvements. We are planning to release it in the first half of January 2026.
Other Tasks
We are also working on changes to the Bacularis user panel at users.bacularis.com, which provides services that help finance Bacularis development. These changes are required to adapt the panel to upcoming changes in Polish invoicing law, which will take effect in February 2026. We hope these changes will not delay the release of version 5.10.0.
End of the Year
As we reach the end of 2025 and approach the new year 2026, we would like to wish you all the very best for the coming year. We hope that 2026 brings you many positive things.
Have a great end of the year, and see you in the next report!
On behalf of the Bacularis Team,
Marcin Haba (gani)
