+* Performance improvements through denormalization of the ```File``` database table
+  * The denormalization of the File database table leads to enormous performance improvements in installation, which covering a lot of file (millions and more).
+  * For the denormalization the database schema must be modified. Please note! Updating the database to schema version >= 2170 will increase the required disk space. Especially it will require around twice the amount of the current database disk space during the migration.
+  * The ```Filename``` database table does no longer exists. Therefore the ```.bvfs_*``` commands do no longer output the ```FilenameId``` column.
+* ```NDMP_NATIVE``` support has been added. This include the NDMP features DAR and DDAR.
+* Added Bareos Storage Daemon backend droplet. Most notably it allows backup and restores to a S3 environment. Included as beta. Don’t use in productive environment!
+* Soft Quota: automatic quota grace period reset if a job does not exceed the quota.
+* bareos-dbcheck: disable all interactive questions in batch mode.
+* list files: also show deleted files (accurate mode).
