(The +diff file between 5.2.6 and this one is over 25,000 lines). + +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +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 5.2.3 + Director and Storage daemons.
