-          Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.6
+          Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.8
 
   Bacula code: Total files = 419 Total lines = 137,078 (*.h *.c *.in)
       20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
 
 !!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-  If you have problems with segment faults on 64 bit machine,
-  please modify the build so that the code is compiled with the
-  -O0 (- oh zero) option otherwise the SD will crash on most all
-  operations -- apparently due to a compiler bug in gcc's 64 bit
-  code generation.
+  In Bacula version 1.38.5 and prior, there was apparently a
+  compiler bug that caused the Storage daemon to seg fault.
+  I have applied a workaround in version 1.38.6 and greater that
+  seems to work.  If you experience problems, follow the instructions
+  below.
 
-  The bad code generation appears to be a compiler "bug", and
-  it occurs in all version prior to the released 1.38.6. In 
-  version 1.38.6, I have found what appear to be a workaround.
+  If you are compiling for a 64 bit machine, you need to ensure
+  that the code is compiled with the -O0 (- oh zero) option otherwise
+  the SD will crash on most all operations -- apparently due to
+  a compiler bug in gcc's 64 bit code generation.

-New features:
+Warning:
+- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case
+  in wild-card comparions. To get the same behavior as before,
+  you must explicitly use "Ignore Case = yes" in your FileSet.
+- Backslashes are no longer permitted in File directives
+  (typical error for Windows users), unless the string is
+  enclosed in double quotes, in which case, the backslashes
+  must be doubled.   
+- The new algorithm for selecting Volumes from the Scratch
+  pool that was implemented in 1.38.6 and 1.38.7 is abandoned 
+  in favor of a corrected version of the 1.38.5 algorithm.
+
+New features for 1.38.8:
+- Regex, RegexFile, and RegexDir are now implemented in the
+  Win32 FD.  However, this is new experimental code that is
+  largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory 
+  leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully
+  before using. Unfortunately, at this time, the Ignore Case
+  directive is not implemented in the Windows regex, so
+  you must explictly take into account the case in your
+  patterns.
+- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex
+  and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and
+  wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other   
+  binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems.
+
+Fixes: 
+- See below.

+New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases:

 - Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
+- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that
