NEW: Sesam 5.2 releaese. Remove 'beta' flag

BUGFIX: (#34544) Set correct STPD interface, if interface is set to bare hostname and FTP has been switched off
BUGFIX: (#34607) Disaster Restore via Bootstrap database does not relocate the SEP sesam postgresql database. Solution: Resolve Sesam 'glbv' in results.source but still forward them to SBC command

NEW: (#27824) Execute Sesam 'newday' after long server shutdown

NEW: Add rule to copy SiS package into download directory

BUGFIX: (#34478) Nutanix backup removes temporary volume group at the end of backup
BUGFIX: (#34098) Generative restore of a path backup fails with ‘No data has been restored!’. Solution: Since Fix #31463 ‘Restore of a single file overwrites the parent directory’, the restore of the parent directories is called with ‘-o over=file’ when restoring a single file in ‘Overwrite’ mode. If the directory structure still exists, no data is restored, e.g. for a FULL saveset with only parent directories. Logic improved.
BUGFIX: (#34465) Added sbc_proxy option -a srcpool= If backup of a Proxmox VM was done with Sesam version that used Proxmox pool name to set session job source and pool name was different than Proxmox data store name, then using this option during restore fixes restore that would otherwise fail
BUGFIX: (#34474) sesam2000.profile sets insecure PATH on Clients and RDS servers. Solution: Add only configured paths to avoid having empty directory names (means: current directory) in PATH
BUGFIX: (#34315) Manual EOL extension of migrated savesets fails if original saveset has already been purged. Solution: The algorithm must differentiate, if the media pool is specified, it is called for the saveset, otherwise for the backup.

BUGFIX: (#34408) Si3 Immutable Store license violations are not detected by 'sm_info c'. Do not always set sep_dedup_sis_stores to an unlimited value.
BUGFIX: (#34326): Memory leak in sm_sshd2 results in failed command execution: poison used actor upon disconnect
BUGFIX: (#33919) Correct handling of media id including '_' by 'sm_cross_check'. Solution: By using regular expressions, the saveset identifiers can be recognized correctly, even with 'readcheck'.
BUGFIX: (#34327) - Operator is not allowed to change the password
BUGFIX: (#32995) vSphere fails with '553 STOR Failed. MTF analyze error [Error: Invalid MTF descriptor block checksum. (53)]'. Solution: An incorrect calculation when reading the data stream led to a premature new DBLK check.
