+Bacula Version 5.0.0 has been released to Source Forge
+
+Release Numbering:
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to
+5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for
+several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing
+the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version
+and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided
+that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always
+be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always
+be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x.
+In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger
+than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project
+version is more advanced or has more features than the
+Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version
+is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010)
+will be version 4.0.0.
+
+Warning:
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+Please note the three Warnings below before doing any install or
+upgrade.
+
+
+Changes since 3.0.3a (the last Bacula Project release):
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes:
+1337 1351 1352 1354 1357 1361 1367 1369 1370 1373
+1376 1391 1403 1409 1420 1422 1427 1428 1431 1450
+1454 1455 1458 1456
+
+Fixed:
+ - Problem that locks the Director when the SMTP server wasn't
+ responding to the bsmtp program
+ - Restore's dir command shows incorrect file sizes
+ - Fix various problems with the reload command
+ - Fix problems with conio
+ - Eliminate several deadlocks or potential race conditions from SD
+
+Enhancements:
+ - Project 5: Truncate volume after purge
+ - Project 6: File Deduplication using Base Jobs
+ - Project 10: Restore from Multiple Storage Daemons
+ - Project 11: AllowCompression per Device
+ - Project 23: Add Maximum Concurent Jobs for Devices to balance load

+ - Add Bvfs API to query the catalog without building a memory tree
+ - Add new speed test to btape program
+ - Add new Bat screens (Autochanger content, Job view, Media view, ...)
+ - Windows version of Bat

+ - Many ACL improvements
+ - Level added to FD status Job entry
+ - Allow turning on/off Block Checksum per device
+ - Set Device Poll interval to 5 minutes -- previously did not poll
+ - Implement lock manager with bad order protection
+
+Compatibility:
+As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
+the same time, and on any given machine, you must run only one version
+of Bacula. This means that on the Director and Storage daemon machines,
+you *must* upgrade your File daemon as well.
+
+Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
+Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
+Daemons immediately. However, we recommend that you do so as soon
+as is reasonable for your situation.
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+
+New Catalog format in version 5.0.0 (3.1.9 or later)
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
+scripts that permit to convert a 3.0.x (version 11) catalog to 5.0.0 (version
+12). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
+detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
+recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
+using rpms.
+
+The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
+source:
+1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
+2. Save a copy of your existing database.
+3. Configure, build, and install the 5.0.0 version of Bacula
+ Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
+ at the bottom of this file.
+4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
+5. ./update_bacula_tables
+6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
+ script and put the name of another database, and then
+ execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
+ catalogs have been updated.
+7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
+ not print any error messages.
+
+If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
+script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
+table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 3.1.9
+(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
+be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
+command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
+catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
+aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
+size.
+================================================================
+
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+If you upgrade a previous Win32 client installation, you must
+first stop the File daemon, then uninstall it before attempting
+the upgrade. If you do not do so, the upgrade will probably
+fail and you will need to manually find and run the
+Uninstall.exe file, before you can upgrade to the new version.
+This is because the file locations are different. If you want
+to save your previous bacula-fd.conf file, please do so before
+uninstalling it.
+================================================================
+
+================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
+Due to permissions problems on Windows Vista and later systems,
+we no longer require SYSTEM or Administrator permissions to
+access the binaries and configuation files. If you wish
+to restrict access to these files, please see the New Features
+section of the manual for how to set access control lists.
+================================================================
+
+Note, the Win32 Installer no longer installs the Bacula Servers
+(Director and Storage daemon). See the New Features section of
+the manual for more details.
+
+============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
+
+Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation has a number of known problems:
+
+1. We have reduced the number of manuals, which has fixed many
+ of the broken links found in the old 3.0.x version, but there
+ are still some that need fixing.
+
+2. Integration of the 3.0.x features into the main manuals has
+ not yet been done.
+
+The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
+manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
+you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.
+=====
+
+
+This release includes large number of new features and changes.
+It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
+and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
+features.
+
+Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
+some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
+
+http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_0.html
+
+The ChangeLog has more details.
