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.
