Hello,

I have just posted the Beta release of Bacula version 1.35.2 to Source
Forge. You will find both the source and the Win32 binaries there.

The main changes for this release are:
- A *really* cool and useful tray monitor for compliant X Window
  in particular Gnome and KDE. This program was written by Nicolas
  Boichat and can be very handy for an administrator. It requires
  version 1.35.2 to run.
- The first cut of a Bacula Rescue CDROM -- see the documentation in
  the Rescue chapter of the document.  Comments on the documentation
  would be appreciated as I found it difficult to combine the CDROM
  and the Floppy documentation, and it is possibly a bit confusing.
- A number of bug fixes.
- A good start on the French version of the manual by Ludovic 
  Strappazon, and hopefully others shortly.
- Added "Ignore FileSet Changes = yes" one of the more demanded
  features to prevent a Full backup after a FileSet change (use
  at your own risk).

I'm running this in production, so consider it quite stable.

Interestingly enough, I had exactly the same problem as Phil with my
Win32 installation. It turned out to be an IPv4 resolution code problem 
that is most likely unrelated to Phil's problems, but the coincidence is
a bit amusing.

My focus for 1.35 will be:
- to concentrate on resolving the reported bugs
- make another cut at the CDROM rescue code
- finish the documentation

Best regards, Kern
