This is a new function and bug fix 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.
Bacularis 4.2.0 introduces support for a plugin interface on the API side.
So, since now users are able to create own API-side plugins in the same way
as they can already create Web-side plugins. For a good start we provided
a Bacula configuration plugin interface and we prepared first API plugin for
attaching pre/post config actions.

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.
On the Bacula deployment side, we extended support for Bacula packages from
bacula.org. It significantly simplifies configuring OS profiles to use
bacula.org packages. It causes that using system Bacula packages, packages
from bacula.org or packages provided in self-hosted package repository can
easily be configured in the OS profile.

Finally, we would like to thank the entire Community for bug reports, ideas and
for being active. With your involvement we can much more.
This version is also bug fix release. We fixed couple of bugs found in
the deployment function.
