There is nothing substantial--this is primarily + a cleaning up of the format before use becomes more widespread. + Updated tools will be needed to properly understand the new + snapshots. Tools will continue to be able to read the old + snapshot format. + - LOCAL DATABASE CHANGE: The local database has been changed so that + segment utilization data for past snapshots is stored more + efficiently. The script in contrib/upgrade0.6-localdb.sql must be + run on a database to upgrade it prior to running backups with the + new tool. + - The statcache implementation has been reworked, and the format + changed. The first backup will run more slowly since the old + statcache data will be ignored. New statcache data will be + written to statcache2. The old statcache file can be deleted. + 0.5.1 [2007-11-13] - Have the lbs-util tool check the version number when reading a snapshot, and signal an error if the format is not recognized.
