- Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.3
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 424 Total lines = 140,955 (*.h *.c *.in)
- 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
-
-Changes to 1.38.3:
-- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive
- reservation algorithm has been rewritten.
-- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be
- mounted and the mount messages has been modified.
- (the above two items are a potential source of problems).
-- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
- volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
-- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
-- Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
- it is not an autochanger.
-- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
- This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
- rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
- file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
-- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
- if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
- Arnos problem.
-- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
-- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
-- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
- code. This should fix bug #500.
-- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
-- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
- of the mode.
-- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
- You have messages.
-- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
- only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
- #514.
-- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
-- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
- more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
- jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
-- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
-- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
-- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
-- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
-- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
-- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
- for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
-- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
-- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
-- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
- and always open nonblocking.
-- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
-- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
-- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
- message.
-- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
-- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
-- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
-- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
-- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
-- Use localhost if no network configured
-- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
-- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
-- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
- and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
- to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
-- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
- correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
- Bug # 506.
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
- to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
- IP. Fixes bug # 508.
-- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
- Christian Masopust.
-- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
- from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
-- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
- Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
-- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
- errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
-- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
-- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
-- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
- caused an error.
-- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
-- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
- at the same time.
-- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
- If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
- or
- "status dir days=xx"
- My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
- next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
- the weekend.
-- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
-- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault
- fixes bug 502
-- Applied user patch to improve README.vc8 in src/win32.
-- Ensure that StorageId is stored in Media record when ever possible.
-- Remove old code from winservice.cpp
-- Break on error in scan.
-- Fix typo in signal.c
-- Separate read/write DCR in SD. Add jcr->read_dcr.
-- Cleanup how find_device() works.
-- Remove abs() in bfile.c so that it compiles on Solaris. Bug #491.

-
-Major Changes in 1.38:
-- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
-- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
- autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
- resource in the Storage daemon.
-- There is a new database format that is not compatible
- with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
- from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
-- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
- Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
- All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
-- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
-- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
- the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
-- Python Event support has been added. See below for
- configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
- so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
- has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
-- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
- the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
- to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
- BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
- production.
-- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
- ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
- and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
-- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
- records have been removed from the catalog.
-- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
-- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
- to Landon Fuller.
-- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
- other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
-- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
- to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
- any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
- also be used to group jobs.
-- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
-- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
- backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
- A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
- turn on VSS with "Enable VSS = yes" in your FileSet resource.
-- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
-- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
-- SQLite3 support.
-- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
- is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
- level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
-- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
- in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
-
-New Directives:
-- New Job directive "Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no" causes the
- SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
- Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
- it will select the first available drive.
-- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
- cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
- Run = "job-name level=%l since=\"%s\""
- Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
- is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
- want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
- storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
- default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
- that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
- ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
- and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
- A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
- to recurse.
-- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
- - WildDir xxx
- Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
- be matched).
- - WildFile xxx
- Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
- be matched).
- - RegexDir xxx
- Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
- will not be matched).
- - RegexFile xxx
- Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
- will not be matched).
- - IgnoreCase = yes | no
- Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
- This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
- - FsType = string
- where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
- reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
- systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
- and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
- specified on the fstype directive does not match the
- filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
- not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
- backing up non-local filesystems.
- - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
- If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
-- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
- Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
- If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
- precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
-- Check Labels = yes | no
- Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
- ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
- is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
- check the label type.
-- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
- which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
- appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
- so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
-- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
- a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
- HardLinks = no
- in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
-- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
- Defines the maximum part size.
-- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
- Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
- must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
- must be defined in the same Device resource:
- + Mount Point = directory
- Directory where the device must be mounted.
- + Mount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
- is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
- Mount Point.
- + Unmount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
- command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
- %m with the Mount Point.
- + Write Part Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
- the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
- with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
- and %v with the current part filename.
- + Free Space Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
- on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
- the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
- number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
-- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
- If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
- created after the job is finished.
-- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
- of the manual.
-
-New Commands:
-- "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
- sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
- a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
-
-New configure options:
-- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
- the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
-- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
- required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
-
-Items to note!!!
-- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
- to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
- such as "update slots" may not work.
-- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
- if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
- automatically detected if in the standard place.
-- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
- can be ignored.
-- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
- old database. After installation, run from your scripts
- directory:
-
- ./upgrade_bacula_tables
-
- You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats
- directory.
-- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
- Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
- All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
-- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
- you want TLS communications encryption support.
-- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
- all cases, so it is turned off.
-- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
- AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
- generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
- Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
- solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
- turned on (normally it is -O2).
- This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with
- gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on
- an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all
- users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when
- compiling.
-
-
-Other Items:
-- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
- ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
-- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
- which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
- Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
- (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
- program must be patched using the
- <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
- You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
-- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
- files, called "parts".
-- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
- Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
+ Release Notes for Bacula 5.0.3
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 1,088 Total lines = 219,172 (Using SLOCCount)
+
+General:
+--------
+
+This 5.0.3 version is significant bug fix update to version 5.0.2.
+It includes new code and some new features.
+There is no database change since prior versions of 5.0.
+
+Note, if you are running 5.0.0, read the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 release notes below in
+ the 5.0.1 release section.
+ Important!!!
+
+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 5.0.3
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
+
+Changes and New Features:
+- If a VSS (Windows) snapshot fails, the whole Job is failed, previously
+ it printed a warning message and continued.
+- New editing codes %b = Job Bytes and %f = Job Files for runscripts

+- The bat Media page text columns can be sorted by clicking on the column.
+- If possible, the SD will automatically update the catalog Volume size if
+ it does not match the Volume size. The mismatch between the Volume sizes
+ typically occurs when the FD has a comm line drop or the FD crashes.

+=============================================================================
+
+
+============= Release 5.0.1 ========================
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE FOR 5.0.0 USERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+The Allow Duplicate Jobs directive has been significantly
+reworked, and the default value has changed. See below.
+
+Truncate On Purge has been totally rewritten. See the new
+features section of the manual.
+
+When Volume Poll Interval is set in the SD DEVICE configuration,
+(default 5 mins), after a certain number of polling tries (approx
+10) polling will stop and the operator will be asked to
+resolve the problem. Previously there was no limit, and an
+error message could be produced at each poll attempt.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+Changes since 5.0.0
+-------------------
+- We believe that we have resolved most of the problems
+ concerning canceled or failed jobs being "stuck" in the
+ Director. There is one outstanding problem in the SD when
+ canceling jobs that we will fix in the next major release.
+ If you see jobs that seem to be stuck, in general issuing
+ a cancel command in bconsole should now make them go away.
+
+Directives:
+- The default for "Allow Duplicate Jobs" has been changed from
+ no to yes. If you use this directive, please check your
+ conf file, and note the next two items !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+- AllowHigherDuplicates disabled. It did not work as documented
+ and was confusing.
+- New directive "CancelLowerLevelDuplicates" See New Features
+ section in the manual.
+- Truncate on Purge rewritten. See New Features section in the manual.
+
+Bug fixes:
+1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1494 1497
+1499 1501 1505 1509 1513
+
+- Ensure SD asks for help when looping even if poll set. Fixes bug #1513.
+- Fix three-pool regress bug
+- Modify bacula.spec fixes bug #1505
+- This version fixes an issue where the console window would start out
+ docked. It is fixed by initiating the variables in the Pages class wi
+ constructor.
+- Fix make_catalog_backup.pl fails when catalog db is on other host
+- Apply MacOSX installer patch from bug #1509
+- Apply fix to previous fix of Copy problem. Fix proposed by reporter o
+ #1476
+- Fix bug #1501 -t does not print errors
+- Apply SQLite3 update fix from bug #1497
+- Apply bashism fix for diskchanger.in script from bug #1499
+- Apply rpm fix for Sci Linux from bug #1494
+- Take most recent Ukranian po from bug #1448
+- Probable fix for Copy/Migration bug #1476
+- Fix bug #1488 -- avoid recursion and race conditions in messages.c
+- Upgrade cats library also to 5.0.0
+- Fix missing console page in bat
+- Add bat help files to Window install
+- Improve Windows upgrade to ensure old FD is shutdown
+- Fix bug #1481 -- bat consumes all console file descriptors
+- Backport truncate on purge from 5.1.x
+- Fix bug #1486 -- bat doesn't show any errors on command-line
+- Update the bsock error URL
+- Correct .my.cnf umask in make_catalog_backup.pl
+- Apply fix for dbcheck use by make_catalog_backup.pl
+- Fix seg fault in bscan from new comment field
+- Allow multiple CNs when using TLS
+- Fix seg fault in SQlite driver
+- Make shared libs version the same as the Bacula release version
+- Remove file_index sequential check
+- Fix #1466 about Bogus pruning message
+
+For Packagers:
+1. The default query.sql file is now, except for some comments, empty.
+The old file, which we no longer support (it is impossible or difficult to
+make it work on every backend, and the queries are mostly contributed) can
+be found in <bacula-source>/examples/sample-query.sql. The sample file is
+not installed by the Makefiles
+
+2. When you install the mtx-changer script, you must also install
+mtx-changer.conf if it does not exist. This new file (mtx-changer.conf) is
+required for mtx-changer to work, but it is a user configurable file, so on
+any update, any existing file should not be overwritten.
+
+3. Bat should be built on every platform that is capabable of running Qt.
+However, the Qt code is changing rather quickly and is not always
+compatible from version to version. We have built and verified bat on Qt
+4.3.4. We strongly recommend that you do not build and distribute bat with
+any other version of Qt unless you personally test it. To build against Qt
+4.3.4, download the depkgs-qt package from the Bacula Source Forge download
+location, read the README file and follow the instructions.
+
+If you are building for Bacula version 5.0.0, please ensure that you do not
+have qmake-qt4 loaded on your system. If you do, either remove it or
+rename it before trying to build bat. If you do not, bat will probably be
+built using the shared objects on your system. For Bacula 5.0.1 and later,
+this problem (bug) does not exist.
+
+depkgs-qt does not install Qt on your system, nor does it interfere with
+you having any other version of Qt installed on your system. Once you
+build bat with depkgs-qt, it should *not* use the Qt shared objects, but
+rather they will be linked into the program. After fully installing bat
+(make install), you can run "ldd bat" to see what shared objects it will
+use. If any Qt shared objects are referenced, something has gone wrong.
+
+4. Unless absolutely necessary, we recommend that you do not define any
+special library environment variables that apply to the ./configure -- for
+example: LIBDIR=/... ./configure <your-options> is strongly discouraged.
+Doing so, could potentially cause Bacula to be linked against the wrong
+shared objects.
+
+5. The Bacula project strongly recommends that you install Bacula into a
+single directory, with a few minor exceptions such as the MySQL or
+PostgreSQL databases. Preferrably this should be /opt/bacula. The full
+recommendation is:
+
+#!/bin/sh
+# Recommended configure script for Bacula
+prefix=/opt/bacula
+email=xxx@yyy.zz
+CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \
+ ./configure \
+ --sbindir=${prefix}/bin \
+ --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc \
+ --docdir=${prefix}/html \
+ --htmldir=${prefix}/html \
+ --with-working-dir=${prefix}/working \
+ --with-pid-dir=${prefix}/working \
+ --with-subsys-dir=${prefix}/working \
+ --with-scriptdir=${prefix}/scripts \
+ --with-plugindir=${prefix}/plugins \
+ --libdir=${prefix}/lib \
+ --enable-smartalloc \
+ --enable-tray-monitor \
+ --enable-bat \
+ --with-mysql \
+ --with-dump-email=${email} \
+ --with-job-email=${email} \
+ --with-smtp-host=localhost \
+ --with-baseport=9101
+
+Obviously, the email, and some of the minor options (mysql, postgresql,
+...) can be changed to suit your distribution, but the directory names
+defined above are strongly recommended, and over time the default values in
+the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf will reflect these choices.
+
+If you have any questions about this or would like a detailed document
+describing our recommendations including packaging requirements, please
+send an email to the bacula-devel list.
+
+6. Starting with Bacula version 3.0.0 up to Bacula 5.0.0, the shared
+libraries that Bacula uses by default are named xxx-1.0.0. Starting with
+Bacula 5.0.1, we are going to name the libraries using the Bacula version.
+So in Bacula 5.0.1, the libraries will be named xxx-5.0.1. With future
+versions, the last digit may or may not change when we distribute patch
+updates (i.e. the last digit of the version changes). This will depend on
+whether or not we have changed something in the library. Hopefully this
+new procedure will resolve some of the incompatibility problems between
+different versions of the shared objects.
+
+7. The default build option for bconsole is conio (my own little console
+routines). I did this because some years ago, readline was very difficult
+to maintain -- it and where it was found seemed to change on every release.
+This generated at the time a number of support problems. It seems to me
+that since then there have been very few problems with readline. As a
+consequence, I have no problem if you want to make bconsole with readline
+enabled. It will actually give some very nice new bconsole command
+completion functionality that Eric has written. Bottom line: feel free to
+use readline or not as you please.

+Release Notes for Bacula 5.0.0
+
+Release Numbering:
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to
+5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for
+several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing
+the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version
+and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided
+that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always
+be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always
+be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x.
+In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger
+than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project
+version is more advanced or has more features than the
+Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version
+is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010)
+will be version 4.0.0.
+
+Warning:
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+Please note the three Warnings below before doing any install or
+upgrade.
+
+
+Changes since 3.0.3a (the last Bacula Project release):

+
+Compatibility:
+As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
+the same time, and on any given machine, you must run only one version
+of Bacula. This means that on the Director and Storage daemon machines,
+you *must* upgrade your File daemon as well.
+
+Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
+Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+Daemons immediately. However, we recommend that you do so as soon
+as is reasonable for your situation.
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+
+New Catalog format in version 5.0.0 (3.1.9 or later)
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
+scripts that permit to convert a 3.0.x (version 11) catalog to 5.0.0 (version
+12). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
+detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
+recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
+using rpms.
+
+The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
+source:
+1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
+2. Save a copy of your existing database.
+3. Configure, build, and install the 5.0.0 version of Bacula
+ Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
+ at the bottom of this file.
+4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
+5. ./update_bacula_tables
+6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
+ script and put the name of another database, and then
+ execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
+ catalogs have been updated.
+7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
+ not print any error messages.
+
+If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
+script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
+table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 3.1.9
+(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
+be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
+command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
+catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
+aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
+size.
+================================================================
+
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+If you upgrade a previous Win32 client installation, you must
+first stop the File daemon, then uninstall it before attempting
+the upgrade. If you do not do so, the upgrade will probably
+fail and you will need to manually find and run the
+Uninstall.exe file, before you can upgrade to the new version.
+This is because the file locations are different. If you want
+to save your previous bacula-fd.conf file, please do so before
+uninstalling it.
+================================================================
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+Due to permissions problems on Windows Vista and later systems,
+we no longer require SYSTEM or Administrator permissions to
+access the binaries and configuation files. If you wish
+to restrict access to these files, please see the New Features
+section of the manual for how to set access control lists.
+================================================================
+
+Note, the Win32 Installer no longer installs the Bacula Servers
+(Director and Storage daemon). See the New Features section of
+the manual for more details.
+
+============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
+
+Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation has a number of known problems:
+
+1. We have reduced the number of manuals, which has fixed many
+ of the broken links found in the old 3.0.x version, but there
+ are still some that need fixing.
+
+2. Integration of the 3.0.x features into the main manuals has
+ not yet been done.
+
+The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
+manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
+you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.
+=====
+
+
+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):
+
+http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_1.html
