- Release Notes for Bacula 7.4.6
+ Release Notes for Bacula 7.9.0
+
+Release Version 7.9.0
+
+For the most part the changes were contributed to the Bacula
+project by Bacula Systems SA.
+
+This is a new release with a new version number. It has been
+very thoroughly tested, but as always, the new features may not
+always work as expected.
+
+Database Update
+---------------
+This version of Bacula requires a database update.
+
+
+Compatibility:
+--------------
+As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded
+at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
+or Storage daemon must be of the same version.
+
+Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.9.0 Director and Storage
+daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.
+
+New features and changes:
+Please see the New Features chapter of the manual for documentation on
+the new features. The new features are currently only in the New Features
+chapter and have not yet been integrated into the main chapters of the
+manual.
