+We have released Bacula Version 5.2.8 to Source Forge
+
+ Release Notes for Bacula 5.2.8
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 1,110 Total lines = 231,439 (Using SLOCCount)
+
+General:
+--------
+The 5.2.8 version is a bug fix release.
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Please note that with this version of Bacula, during the install
+of the shared libraries from the src/cats, src/lib, and src/findlib
+directories, any old Bacula libraries in the installation
+destination directory will be removed. This should not cause
+any problems and at least keeps the installation library cleaner.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+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.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+If you are upgrading from a version older than 5.2.7, please
+read all the old ReleaseNotes of all versions released
+after the version you are upgrading from. There area
+many important notices sumarized here, and we do not
+repeat them each bug fix release.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+
+Compatibility:
+--------------
+ As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
+ the same time.
+
+ Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.8
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
