-- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man
- directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and
- mandir/man1 as appropriate.
-- The "Accept Any Volume" directive has been removed. It was never

- the drive for appending.

+==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
+ For Win32 migrations from versions prior to the new installer nothing special
+ needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
+ automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\Bacula
+ directory (mostly out of paranoia, we can change that prior to release if
+ everyone is comfortable with it).
+
+ Prior to using the current installer, if you used a prior 1.39.x
+ beta version, you must do one of the following three things:
+
+ 1) Uninstall prior beta version and select the option to delete
+ the configuration and state files. This will get rid of the bogus
+ configuration files. Reinstall the new 1.39.22 version.
+
+ 2) Manually copy the *.conf files from C:\Bacula\bin to
+ C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula.
+
+ 3) Manually edit the *.conf files in C:\Documents and
+ Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula. The links in the Bacula menu
+ can be used to avoid having to enter that ugly path.
+
+ After one of these has been done the upgrade should work fine.
+
+ If you have problems with the above, try the following
+ The new Win32 installer requires that you deinstall any
+ previous 1.39.x beta version before installing the new version.
+ The following is not necessary if you are upgrading from
+ a 1.38.x installation.
+
+ The simplest way to do clean up a prior 1.39.x beta is in a DOS shell:
+
+ cd c:\bacula\bin
+ net stop bacula
+ net stop baculfd
+ ./bacula-fd /remove
+ (Install the new Bacula)
+
+ Note, one or both of the 'net stop' commands may fail. Don't
+ worry about it.
+
+ If you didn't read the release notes or forgot to do those
+ commands, try the following:
+
+ cd c:\bacula\bin
+ net stop bacula
+ net stop baculafd
+ sc delete bacula
+ sc delete baculafd
+
+ Note, at least one of the 'net' commands and possibly both
+ will fail, and at least one of the 'sc' commands will fail.
+ Don't worry about it. After that, try again to install
+ the new Bacula.
