 Changes to 1.38.3:
 - This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive
   reservation algorithm has been rewritten.
-- Implement load balancing code.
+- 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.

 Items to note!!!
+- The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using
+  (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much
+  more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In
+  general, you should always do a "unmount" prior to removing a
+  tape, and a "mount" after putting a new one into the drive.
 - 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.

+- The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed
+  by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions
+  to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive.  If
+  all else fails, change to using user=root.  However, it is more secure
+  to use user=bacula.
