- Release Notes for Bacula 2.1.22
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 458 Total lines = 198,659 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons. However, bat works only with
-a 2.1.8 Director or greater.
-
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Note !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please
-test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse
-points.
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-Changes since Beta release 2.1.20
-- New graphs in bat
-- Due to a typo, I had inadvertantly turned off batch insert mode.
- It is now re-enabled
-- Possible fix for bug #888 (dropped comm lines using TLS).
-- Test version of Win32 binaries for Vista.
-
-Changes since Beta release 2.1.18
-- Fixed bug #886 (multidrive autochanger: SD doesn't use drive with
- loaded tape but uses first drive).
-- Fixed bug #807 Restore encrypted backup failed on Windows 2003
- This was indeed a Win32 issue.
-
-Changes since Beta release 2.1.12
-- Version 2.1.14 not released.
-- Possible solution to Win32 encryption restore signature errors.
-- Reload with syntax errors in @include now works.
-- Gnome console builds with encryption.
-- Fixed bugs #864, 872, 874, 882, 882, 877, 886, 885.
-- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
- mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
-- Fix update all from pool to pass pool name.
-- Correct reservation system bug that invalidated Volumes by
- calling find_next_appendable volume before acquiring a device.
-
-Changes since Beta release 2.1.10
-- Lots of new bat functionality !!!!!!
-- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
- the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
-- Reload was broken in 2.1.10 -- now fixed.
-- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
- pool and media type when a job is waiting.
-- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
-- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
-- Reduce the impact of a backup on the FD's memory usage (OS file
- caching). This works only on POSIX compliant systems. This allows
- users to work with less interference on a Client machine during a
- backup.
-- bat should now handle non-English characters.
-- ./configure now permits --enable-batch-insert (as well as --disable...).
- This feature is enabled by default if your SQL libraries are thread
- safe.
-- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
- This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
- of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
- The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
-
-Areas requiring caution or testing:
-- You must have Qt4 Version 4.2 or greater loaded to build bat
-- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
- to build with MySQL enabled.
-- The Volume management in the Storage daemon is extensively rewritten.
- It appears to function much better, but is largely untested under
- severe production stress conditions (multiple drive autochangers, ...).
-- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
- your database to grow compared to prior Bacula version.
-- Socket level heartbeat is untested.
-- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
- to what we do with sockets).
-- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
-- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
- bus errors.
-
-The major new features are:
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
- many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
-- 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 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, and
- qmake and the other Qt4 tools must be available. bat is ALPHA
- software. A large part of the work was done by Dirk Bartley.
-- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
-- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
- thanks to Eric.
-- 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 -- thanks to Eric.
-- 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.
-
-Other features or bug fixes:
-- Fixed bugs: 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772,
- 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791,
- 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764,
- 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).
+ Release Notes for Bacula 5.2.13
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 1,110 Total lines = 231,439 (Using SLOCCount)
+
+General:
+--------
+This is an important bug fix release.
+
+Version 5.2.13 version has 20 bug fixes since the last
+release. Some of the bug fixes are important.
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Please note that with this version of Bacula, during the install
+of the shared libraries from the src/cats, src/lib, and src/findlib
+directories, any old Bacula libraries in the installation
+destination directory will be removed. This should not cause
+any problems and at least keeps the installation library cleaner.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+For packagers, if you change options, naming, and the way
+we link our shared object files, as at least one of you does,
+you are creating a situation where the user may not be able
+to run multiple versions of Bacula on the same machine, which
+is often very useful, and in addition, you create a configuration
+that the project cannot properly support.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+If you are upgrading from a version older than 5.2.10, please

+
+================================================================
+
+Version 5.2.1
+
+The 5.2.1 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
+It includes well over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 contributors,
+lots of bug fixes (see below), 1,851 software commits,and a
+number of important new features:
+
+Version 5.2.0 was short lived, because Marco (thanks) found
+a number of last minute bugs. So the first official release of 5.2
+is 5.2.1.
+
+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 5.2.1
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
+
+5.2.1 New Features:
+-----------------
+- LZO Compression
+- New Tray Monitor
+- Purge Migration Job
+- Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)
+- Changes in the Pruning Algorithm
+- Ability to Verify any specified Job
+- Additions to RunScript variables
+- Additions to the Plugin API
+- ACL enhancements
+- XATTR enhancements
+- Class Based Database Backend Drivers
+- Hash List Enhancements
+
+Some of the above are described below; all the above are
+described in more detail in the New Features chapter of the
+manual.

+
+Note on bug 1612 where Bacula does not save a checksum for hard links during
+full backup, but expects one during accurate differential backups. You need
+a Full backup with the 5.2.x code to have these checksums in the Catalog.
+Doing Incr/Diff over a 5.0.x Full backup will still display lot of errors.
+
+
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+
+ The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
+ restore since the last Full backup. This is, of course, correct and desirable,
+ but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
+ prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
+
+Building Bat:
+-------------
+To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
+version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
+your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
+
+Packaging the SQL backend:
+--------------------------
+The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
+in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
+by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
+be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
+at the same time.
+
+- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
+ --with-sqlite3
+ --with-mysql
+ --with-postgresql
+
+Order of testing for database is
+- postgresql
+- mysql
+- sqlite3
+
+Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
+A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
+
+At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
+backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
+the default backend type.
+
+If you configure all three backends you get three backend libraries and the
+postgresql gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default
+you can copy one of the three backend libraries over the
+libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
+
+cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
+
+And update the default backend in the following files:
+
+create_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_tables
+grant_bacula_privileges
+make_bacula_tables
+make_catalog_backup
+update_bacula_tables
+
+New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
+-----------------------------------------------
+This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
+scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
+14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
+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 (i.e. manually):
+1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
+2. Save a copy of your existing database.
+3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 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 5.0.0
+(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.
+
+================================================================
+
+Changes:
+
+Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements:
+- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option)
+- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster
+- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
+ memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
+- limit command in some list commands
+- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access
+- Faster crc32 algorithm
+
+Security Enhancements:
+- Additional security against injection of illegal characters
+- Fix possible fnmatch problem
+
+Features Enhancements:
+- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms:
+ AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64
+- Tray monitor for Windows
+- 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 to switch from one database backend
+ to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL).
+- Indent lsmark during restore
+- Disable batch insert config item
+- Director selection option in bconsole
+- restorejob command in bconsole
+- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
+- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
+ work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
+- Improved hash table for hard links
+- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
+ and %h (Client Address)
+
+Other Enhancements:
+- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and
+ junction points.
+- New database format
+- Many new plugin API features
+- Improved memory handling for restores
+- Significant stability enhancements to bat
+- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning
+- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.
+
+
+===========================================================================
+
+The 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
+- Any non-Bacula project plugins (i.e. third party plugins)
+ must be upgraded to specify AGPLv3 in place of the GPLv2 used previously
+ for the PLUGIN_LICENSE.
+- 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:

+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

+
+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
+
+The ChangeLog has more details.
