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.
