This is fully new function release that is targetted to ease work with Bacula configuration specially in medium and large Bacula environments, where is a lot of Bacula resources to manage.

First, we prepared the configs and patterns function. It can be significantly helpful in repeatable tasks with Bacula configuration. This feature enables bulk adding configuration to multiple or single resources at once. Config function is designed for adding configuration to Bacula resources (Client, Pool, Device...) while patterns are for adding configuration with many resources to local and remote Bacula components (Director, File Daemon, Storage Daemon...). More information about these two functions you can find in the Bacularis documentation.

Second big change is a new version 3 of the Bacularis API. Users that use own scripts or programs working with Bacularis API version 2 can still use it because it is still fully supported in Bacularis 3.2.0. These users can consider switching to API version 3 in the future. All details about what changed in API you can find at the end of this text and also in the release announcement on the Bacularis website.

To maintain continuity of work in multiple Bacularis instance environments advised upgrading method to version 3.2.0 is to upgrade all Bacularis API hosts first and Bacularis Web at the end. It is because of fact that Bacularis API 3.2.0 works well with Bacularis Web lower than 3.2.0, while Bacularis Web 3.2.0 does not work with Bacularis API lower than 3.2.0.
