After one of these has been done the upgrade should work fine.
+Major new Features in 1.40.0:
+- The basic features of Migration are now complete, and
+ are documented in a new Migration chapter in the manual
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
+- There is an Encryption chapter in the doc.
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
+- Additional support for removable devices. See the
+ Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
+ Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
+ Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
+ same chapter.
+- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
+ cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson,
+ then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
+ cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
+ also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
+ all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
+ drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
+- The Director and Storage daemon have now been ported to Win32.
+ This code is working but should still be considered beta (i.e.
+ test carefully before putting into production).
+- Data encryption done in the Client is now supported due to code
+ submitted by Landon Fuller.
+- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
+ any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
+ the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
+ to Thorsten Engel for this code.
+- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
+ eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel.
+- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
+ the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
+ plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
+ of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
+ http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227
+- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher.
+- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
+ If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
+ "list nextvol days=xx"
+ or
+ "status dir days=xx"
+ This can be used to preview the next scheduled job (and the
+ next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
+ the weekend.
+- Apply patch for enhancing wait from Eric Bollengier. One can now:
+ wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
+ wait jobid=nn
+ wait jobuid=unique id
+ wait job=job-name
+- Volumes can now be set to Enable, Disable, or Archive. If they
+ are not enabled, Volumes will not be mounted.
+ Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
+- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
+ job report in the Log database table.
+
New Features in 1.40.0:
+- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
+ the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
+ the job can be manually started from the console.
+- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits
+ can be enabled by changing one define, but this has never been tested.
- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in
the restore cd command.
- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling
conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters
are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson.
- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
-- Win32 external script excution is much more flexible -- handles
+- Win32 external script execution is much more flexible -- handles
spaces in names better, ...
-- Lots of DVD fixes -- I think they now work!

any Catalog ACL.
- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.

- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary)
+ display data_len instead of data content (may be binary).
- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
-- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir
+- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir/
- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-- Install man pages with 'make install'
+- Install man pages with 'make install'.
- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.

command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.

creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
Andrew J. Millar.
