+not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
+no database upgrade needed from version 2.4.x.  However, the next
+BETA release will require a database upgrade.

 
 

-The major features are:
-- First cut of bat (Bacula Administration Tool).  Note to build
-  bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
-  must have the Qt4 libraries loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4
-  tools must be available.
-- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times).
-- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files.
-- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
-- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance.
-- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
-- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
-  conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
-- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
-- New Recycle Pool feature.
-- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
-- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
-- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
-  during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
+==================   Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+This BETA release of Bacula 2.5.x development code uses libtool
+to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
+being directly linked in as in prior versions.  This means that
+the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object 
+directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
+that may be specified on the ./configure line using the
+--libdir option as:

 
 

-Other features or bug fixes:
-- Fixed bugs: 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772,

-  766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743.
-- Only the minumum number of volumes are pruned rather than
-  all volumes in the pool.
-- wx-console renamed to bwx-console
-- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console
-- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
-- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
-- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
-  in front of the configuration path/filename.
-- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
-  memory usage, and a in use buffer dump.
-- Solaris door and event port files are no longer restored.
-- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
-  filename restrictions.  
-- Corrected Win32 ftruncate bug.
-- Additional version information added to Job reports.
-- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
-- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
-  is already a < in the target.
-- Perfer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
-  mounted by another job.
-- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
-- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
-- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
-- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
-- Drop from root done before database is opened.
-- database user and name can be configured with:
-  --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
-- turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
-- rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
-  This appears to have been an unreported bug.
-- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
-- Better restricted console ACL checking.
-- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
-  users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
-- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
-  job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
-- Sockets are no longer restored.
-- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
-- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
-  large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
-- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
-- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
-  which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies 
-  the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
-  not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
-- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
-  catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
-  and DVD).
+  ./configure --libdir=/full-path/dir
+
+the default /lib. If --libdir is specified, there should be
+no need to modify your loader configuration provided that
+the shared objects are installed in that directory (Bacula
+does this with the make install command). The shared objects 
+that Bacula references are:
+
+libbaccfg.so
+libbacfind.so
+libbacpy.so
+libbac.so
+
+If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old 
+way of building static libraries, you can do so by disabling 
+libtool on the configure command line with:
+
+  ./configure --disable-libtool
+==============================================================
+
+This release includes large number of new features and changes.
+It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
+and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
+features.
+
+Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
+some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
