## 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).
