looks like 7.2.0 is older than 7.0.5? like 7.2 is development branch for
7.0? huh? and they both result v14 database?

so i'm a bit confused of their releases, and what version series we
should stick in pld?

Its not older. Bacula isn't always providing all SQL migration paths and scripts in their tarballs, you have to obtain proper ones from older tarballs if doing bigger version jump. Its not the first time its that way.

AFAIR there was no DB update after 5.x to 7.x series switch or it was mere cosmetics. I may be wrong however, I've switched to 7.x series back in 2014.

the problem i have is that i have bacula5 director, and having upraded
clients to bacula7 results authentication failures
yet if i read 7.4.0 release notes http://blog.bacula.org/release-7-4-0/

it claims: " Upgrading should be easy since there is no database change
and all older File Daemons should remain compatible with Bacula 7.4.0."
of course i don't know do they claim if 5.2 clients can connect there or
not

Director will work with all older clients, but will not work with any newer clients. If client is newer than director it will be rejected. It is explained in bacula documentation. You either have to upgrade your director or downgrade the clients. There is no other way to make it work due to changes made in client-director communication protocol.

FYI there is bacula 7.4.0 in TLD git. Feel free to merge it if you want.
