The Bareos team just has published the new Bareos 18.2.5 release
to the Bareos.org download servers.

First, we want to invite you to meet us on the FOSDEM:
For those of you who will visit the FOSDEM'19 in Brussels this weekend,
the Bareos FOSDEM Stand is Stand H3 in Building H. You are welcome!


New Features
------------
Short overview of the new Features implemented in Bareos 18 compared to Version 17:

* New network Protocol using immediately TLS
* TLS is immediately used on all network connections
* Support for TLS-PSK in all daemons
* Automatic encryption of all network traffic with TLS-PSK
* Full Compatibility with old Bareos file daemon
* Old Bareos file daemon speaking the old protocol are automatically detected
and daemons switch to the old protocol
* Easy update without configuration changes
* Existing Bareos installations can be upgraded without configuration changes

* PAM Support
* Introduction of new "User" Resource
* The Bareos director supports PAM for user authentication
* The Bareos WebUI supports PAM user authentication against the Bareos director

Changed Features
----------------
* Bandwidth limiting now also works in TLS encrypted connections. Before, bandwidth
limiting was ignored when the connections were TLS encrypted
* droplet (S3): multiple enhancements
* Bareos console: added "whoami" command to show currently associated user

* xattr and acl support now are enabled by default
* both features were disabled by default and needed to be enabled in the fileset options
* now both are enabled by default and can be disabled in the fileset options
* new Bareos file daemon logs the current status of both options in job log

Backward compatibility
---------------------
* Bareos director >= 18.2 can work with all Bareos file daemon versions.
However, all other components need to be updated to Bareos version >= 18.2
* To maintain Bareos WebUI access to the Bareos director, it depends on the current configuration.
