*******************
* Database update *
*******************

The 1.38 release requires an update to the bacula database structure
from version 8 to version 9. A pre-install routine has been added to
check for databases older than 8. In that event the install will exit
with an error message indicating that the database must be updated to
version 8 before installing this upgrade. Scripts for updating older
database formats are available for download in the bacula-updatedb
rpm package. In the event a version 8 database is detected a
post-install 
routine will update the database after creating a backup file in the 
bacula working directory.

*************************
* Rescue package change *
*************************

The cdrom rescue scripts are now included in the 3 server and client 
packages and the bacula-rescue package is obsoleted. You should 
uninstall bacula-rescue if installed before upgrading.

******************
