Bacula-Web is an open source tool for reporting and monitoring Bacula environments. It provides advanced summary views of Bacula jobs, volume pools, and volumes. It helps administrators quickly understand what is happening in their Bacula infrastructure, making the work of backup administrators easier.
On June 12, 2026, Davide Franco, the Bacula-Web project leader, announced the release of version 10.0.0. This release updates important dependencies used by Bacula-Web: the Slim PHP framework (slim/slim), the Twig template engine (twig/twig), and the Symfony cache component (symfony/cache). These dependency updates address multiple CVE vulnerabilities.
The dependency changes are directly related to raising the minimum PHP version supported by Bacula-Web to 8.1. Since Twig 3.20.0 requires PHP 8.1 or newer, and the project follows semantic versioning, this change has been introduced as part of a new major Bacula-Web release.
For users running PHP 8.0 or older, this means that PHP must be upgraded before moving to Bacula-Web 10.0.0. This requirement is worth taking into account when planning an environment upgrade.
The project leader encourages users to upgrade to the latest version. Moving to the current release is recommended to help ensure secure and reliable operation of the environment.
