+We have released Bacula Version 5.0.3 to Source Forge
+
+This 5.0.3 version is significant bug fix update to version 5.0.2.
+It includes new code and some new features.
+There is no database change since prior versions of 5.0.
+
+Note, if you are running 5.0.0, read the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 release notes below in
+ the 5.0.1 release section.
+ Important!!!
+
+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 5.0.3
+ Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+ Daemons.
+
+Changes and New Features:
+- If a VSS (Windows) snapshot fails, the whole Job is failed, previously
+ it printed a warning message and continued.
+- New editing codes %b = Job Bytes and %f = Job Files for runscripts
+- Any non-Bacula project plugins (i.e. third party plugins)
+ must be upgraded to specify AGPLv3 in place of the GPLv2 used previously
+ for the PLUGIN_LICENSE.
+- The bat Media page text columns can be sorted by clicking on the column.
+- If possible, the SD will automatically update the catalog Volume size if
+ it does not match the Volume size. The mismatch between the Volume sizes
+ typically occurs when the FD has a comm line drop or the FD crashes.
+
