 General:
 --------
 
+This 5.2.0 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
+It includes well over 50,000 lines of changes and a number of important
+new features:
+
+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 5.2.0
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
+
+Changes and New Features:
+- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and 
+  junction points.
+- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.

+  of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the libbacsql.so/dll
+  needs to be changed.
+- New database format

+- restorejob command in bconsole
+- Checkpoint of jobs so that in many cases they can be restarted
+- Maximum Bandwidth Per Job in several places
