2 Release Notes for Bacula 7.9.0
6 For the most part the changes were contributed to the Bacula
7 project by Bacula Systems SA.
9 This is a new release with a new version number. It has been
10 very thoroughly tested, but as always, the new features may not
11 always work as expected.
15 This version of Bacula requires a database update.
20 As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded
21 at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
22 or Storage daemon must be of the same version.
24 Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.9.0 Director and Storage
25 daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.

464 ================================================================
465 Release version 7.2.0
467 Bacula code: Total files = 733 Total lines = 303,426
468 The diff between Bacula 7.0.6 and Bacula 7.2.0 is 254,442
469 which represents very large change, for the most part
470 contributed to the Bacula project by Bacula Systems SA.
472 This is a major new release with many new features and a
473 number of changes. Please take care to test this code carefully
474 before putting it into production. Although the new features
475 have been tested, they have not run in a production environment.
477 ============== !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ===================
478 New Catalog format in version 7.2.0 and greater
479 -----------------------------------------------
480 This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a script
481 (update_bacula_tables in bacula/src/cats and in bacula/updatedb) that
482 will update from Bacula 3.x, 5.2, or 7.0 to version 7.2.0 format.
483 The database upgrade is fast and simply. As always we strongly
484 recommand that you make a dump of your database prior to doing the
487 NOTE: The upgrade will work only for PostgreSQL and MySQL. Upgrading is
488 not (yet) supported for SQLite3.
489 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
492 For packagers, if you change options, naming, and the way
493 we link our shared object files, as at least one of you does,
494 you are creating a situation where the user may not be able
495 to run multiple versions of Bacula on the same machine, which
496 is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration
497 that the project cannot properly support.
499 Please note that the documentation has significantly changed.
500 You will need additional packages to build it such as inkscape.
501 Please see the README and README.pct files in the docs directory.
502 The packages come with pre-build English pdf and html files,
503 which are located in the docs/docs/manuals/en/pdf-and-html directory.
505 Packagers: please note that the Bacula LICENSE has changed, it is still
506 AGPLv3 and still open source. A new requirement has been added which
507 requires other projects using the source to keep the acreditations.
509 Packagers: please note that the docs license has changed. It is now
510 licensed: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International
511 This is a common open source license.
512 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
516 As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded
517 at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
518 or Storage daemon must be of the same version.
520 Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.2.0 Director and Storage
521 daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons. However,
522 this has not been fully tested yet. Since we expect some problems, please
523 test before putting it into production.
526 Please see the New Features chapter of the manual for documentation on
527 the new features. The new features are currently only in the New Features
528 chapter and have not yet been integrated into the main chapters of the
529 manual. Also, since there were so many new features, it is possible that
530 a few that previously existed in version 7.0.x are documented a second
531 time in the 7.2.0 new features section.

1009 The diff between Bacula 5.2.13 and Bacula 7.0.0 is 622,577 lines,
1010 which represents very large change.
1012 This is a major new release with many new features and a
1013 number of changes. Please take care to test this code carefully
1014 before putting it into production. Although the new features
1015 have been tested, they have not run in a production environment.
1017 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1018 For packagers, if you change options, naming, and the way
1019 we link our shared object files, as at least one of you does,
1020 you are creating a situation where the user may not be able
1021 to run multiple versions of Bacula on the same machine, which
1022 is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration
1023 that the project cannot properly support.
1025 Please note that the documentation has significantly changed.
1026 You will need additional packages to build it such as inkscape.
1027 Please see the README and README.pct files in the docs directory.
1028 The packages come with pre-build English pdf and html files,
1029 which are located in the docs/docs/manuals/en/pdf-and-html directory.
1031 Packagers: please note that the Bacula LICENSE has changed, it is still
1032 AGPLv3 and still open source. A new requirement has been added which
1033 requires other projects using the source to keep the acreditations.
1035 Packagers: please note that the docs license has changed. It is now
1036 licensed: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International
1037 This is a common open source license.
1038 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
