 Major Changes this Release:
-- Implemented support for Sparse files.
-- Implemented support for all Win32 attributes.
-- New Volume format. Will permit faster restores,
-  and correct restores of Volumes written with multiple
-  simultaneous jobs.
-- Important change to communications protocol. Eliminated
-  deprecated 0 signal. 
-- Implemented VolumeUseDuration (duration Volume can be written)
-- Implemented MaximumVolumeJobs (max jobs written to volume) see
-  the Pool documentation for the Director for more details.
-- Rework of the Web site.
-- New format for the User's Guide (manual).
-- New bcopy tool.
-- All bxxx tool programs MUST read a Storage daemon configuration
-  file.
-- Mount Anonymous Volumes is now dropped from the Storage
-  daemon configuration files.
-- Accept Any Volume is by default "Yes" and permits Bacula
-  to accept any appendable volume from the pool. Previously,
-  it would accept ONLY the next appendable volume. To get
-  the old behavior add "Accept Any Volume = No" to the
-  Storage resources of your Director's configuration file.
+- Bare Metal Recovery mostly automated for Linux systems and 
+  partially automated for Solaris
+- Optimized restore, forward spaces to correct tape file and
+  stops reading the archive when all files are restored.
+- Schedule permits specification of 1st, 2nd, ... week e.g.
+  1st Sun ...
 
 Minor Changes this Release:
-- A number of small bug fixes.
-- Improve handling of the "Where" prefix on Win32 by first
-  stripping any previous drive. This allows restoration to
-  any drive.
-- Modified Director-FD logon sequence to pass the OS id strings
-  to the director.
-- Fixed mount loop when the autochanger slot is incorrect in 
-  the catalog.
-- Updated the bacula script to work on more systems.
+- Allow backup of raw partitions.
+- Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
+- New bidirectional timed pipe mechanism for running child processes
+  permits better error messages.
+- Faster Storage daemon initialization (using pthreads)
+- Unlimited devices in Storage daemon (previously hard coded to 20).
+- Fixed bug that recognized only the last option specified on Include record.
+- Easier building of statically linked version of Bacula.
+- Fixed pruning bug.
+- Fixes for VolUseDuration (problems putting it in DB).
+- Fix for / specified as Where.
+- Enhanced WriteBootstrap (more precise parameters -- e.g. volfile, ...)
+- Improved handling of Differential jobs (now on par with Incremental)
+- User supplied script in examples directory for backing up AFS file system.
+- User supplied script for Sun-desktop autoloader (examples/devices).
+- Added configure options for building static versions of the 
+  daemons and the console program.
+- Added a --enable-client-only    option that will cause "make" to only
+  build the File daemon and the libraries it needs.
+- Documented how to save the Catalog database (with included script).
 
 Items to note:
-- The Dir-SD protocol has changed since 1.26, so you must
-  update the Director and Storage daemons.
-- The Dir-FD protocol has changed since 1.26 (and earlier versions
-  of 1.27).
+- Nothing in particular.
