## Consul 0.5.1
Consul version 0.5.1 uses a different backend store for persisting the Raft
log. Because of this change, a data migration is necessary to move the log
entries out of LMDB and into the newer backend, BoltDB.
Consul version 0.5.1 makes this transition seamless and easy. As a user, there
are no special steps you need to take. When Consul 0.5.1 starts, it checks
for presence of the legacy LMDB data files, and migrates them automatically
if any are found.
The automatic upgrade will only exist in Consul 0.5.1. In later versions
(0.6.0+), the migration code will not be included in the Consul binary. It
is still possible to upgrade directly from pre-0.5.1 versions by using the
consul-migrate utility, which is available on the
[Consul Tools page](/downloads_tools.html).
