We are pleased to inform about a new Bacularis release. We continue the action "Bacula for Everybody!" for making first contact with Bacula easier for new users and this time we prepared a new file storage wizard. It enables to create both single storage devices and multi-device autochangers as well.

Second significant change is support for plugins. This is a friendly plugin interface to easily extend Bacularis for new functions. The first step in this feature is support for the web interface plugins. To prepare a plugin you will need a bit of knowledge about PHP language and object-oriented programming. If you are not strong PHP programmer, don't worry, it is really simple interface to create new plugins. We also prepared two first plugins: for e-mail notifications and for Mattermost notifications. More details about plugins you can find in the dedicated plugin chapter in the documentation.

Finally, we would like to thank the entire Community for bug reports, ideas and for being active. With your involvement we can much more.
