+This 5.2.0 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
+It includes well over 50,000 lines of changes and a number of important
+new features:
+
+Compatibility:
+--------------
+ As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
+ the same time.
+
+ Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.0
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
+
+Changes and New Features:
+- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
+  memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
+- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and 
+  junction points.
+- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.
+- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog
+  backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent
+  of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the libbacsql.so/dll
+  needs to be changed.
