+Release 7.0.0
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 713 Total lines = 305,722
+ The diff between Bacula 5.2.13 and Bacula 7.0.0 is 622,577 lines,
+ which represents very large change.
+
+This is a major new release with many new features and a
+number of changes. Please take care to test this code carefully
+before putting it into production. Although the new features
+have been tested, they have not run in a production environment.
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+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.
+
+Please note that the documentation has significantly changed.
+You will need additional packages to build it such as inkscape.
+Please see the README and README.pct files in the docs directory.
+The packages come with pre-build English pdf and html files,
+which are located in the docs/docs/manuals/en/pdf-and-html directory.
+
+Packagers: please note that the Bacula LICENSE has changed, it is still
+AGPLv3 and still open source. A new requirement has been added which
+requires other projects using the source to keep the acreditations.
+
+Packagers: please note that the docs license has changed. It is now
+licensed: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International
+This is a common open source license.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Compatibility:
-Like always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
-the same time.
-
-Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
-Director and Storage daemons. It should be no need to upgrade older File
-Daemon.
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation needs rather extensive modifications in the
-following areas:
-
-1. Missing documentation.
-2. Correction of links within various manuals -- most fail.
-3. Integration of the new features into the main documents.
-4. Much more.
-
-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.
-=====
-
-================== 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.
-
-================================================================
-
-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_0.html
-
-The ChangeLog has more details.
+--------------
+As always, both the 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.
+

+daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.
