I'm really pleased to announce that Bacula-Web 8.2.0 has been released.

This is a minor feature and bug fix release.

Important note: Please note that next Bacula-Web release will remove support for PHP 5.6. As stated on PHP.net web site, PHP version 5.6 and prior has run out of support. So for the sake of security, I encourage everyone to upgrade PHP at least to version 7.1.
