Bacula version 1.34.2 released

Hello,

This morning, I posted Bacula version 1.34.2 on Source Forge. The source
tar.gz file is there as well as the Windows binary installer, which now
contains both bconsole and wx-console.  The 1.34.2 part of the release
notes are included below for your convenience. If you are upgrading from
1.32, please read the full release notes.

Whether you are a new user or a long time user of Bacula, *please* do a
btape "test" command under 1.34.x, and please read through the Tape
Testing chapter at: http://www.bacula.org/html-manual/tapetesting.html

We have had quite a number of users discover that Bacula tape
positioning, used during restores, fails due to a tape drive set in
fixed block mode while Bacula assumes variable block mode. There have
also been several FreeBSD users burned by non-patched or incompletely
patched systems that cause tape data loss due to a pthreads bug.  These
problems are serious but can be avoided.  Bacula has only recently
started using tape positioning so this could strike you if you have not
tested.

Best regards, Kern

Changes for 1.34.2:
Major Features:
- wx-console can now be built both under GTK and Win32. It is
  now part of the Win32 binary release. It has a very nice tree
  oriented restore.  Thanks to Nicolas Boichat for this program.
- bconsole is now included in the Win32 binary release.
            
Items to note!!!
- bscan restored StartBlocks one block off resulting in loss of
  data if any bscanned volumes were restored. Thanks to Gregory
  for reporting this. It is fixed in this release.
- Due to an oversight, "Maximum Job Spool Size" was is not implemented.
  It will be in the next release.
- To build wx-console on Linux. Download wxWidgets 2.4.2 from
wxwidgets.org,
  build and install it on your system, then add --enable-wx-console on
  your Bacula ./configure and it will be built and installed.
- For both the Win32 and Linux GTK versions of wx-console, you must
  create a wx-console.conf in the current directory. The contents are
  identical to a bconsole.conf file.
 
Other items:
- Make SD utility programs accept device name as well as archive device
  on command line.
- Update docs
- Remove old debug code from Win32 FD.
- A new version of depkgs-win32 was released containing the Win32
  wxWidgets source code.
- Disable SIGHUP code in Director which is not yet complete.
