Hello, 

I have just released Bacula version 1.32b to 
Source Forge.

Most Significant Changes since 1.32a:
- Improve forward space file/block during restore, many
  optimizations.
- Fix a bug that did not allow appending to a tape
  on FreeBSD systems.
- Fix pruning so that it will not prune the current job.
- Modify configure to use non-threaded MySQL client lib if
  the threaded version is not present.
- Implement restore by file before date.
- When pruning don't prune the current job.

I've also added code so that Bacula will compile with
MySQL even if you do not have the thread safe client. This
should reduce the pain a bit. If you intend to use 
multiple simultaneous jobs, I strongly recommend using the
thread safe MySQL client library.

This version of Bacula is compatible with 1.32 and 1.32a
clients (also with 1.31 and 1.31a clients).

If you are using Pruning with a very short period 
(1 week) or very few tapes, you are strongly advised 
to upgrade to 1.32b.

Unfortunately the gnome console does not compile on
RedHat 9 (and it isn't easy to fix it or I would have
done so). If you *really* need it, build it on RH 7.3
(or possibly RH 8.0) and use the binary on RH9.
                                                                                        Thanks to those who helped me test it and provided
valuable feedback.

Best regards,

Kern
