This new design means that nodes running earlier software cannot communicate with 6.0 nodes, as 6.0 software no longer performs Metadata updates. As a result, **rqlite clusters running 5.x software or earlier must be explicitly upgraded**. To upgrade from an earlier version to this release you should [backup your Leader node](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/BACKUPS.md), and [restore the database dump](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/RESTORE_FROM_SQLITE.md) into a new 6.0 cluster.
+The data API and cluster-management API remain unchanged however, so client code that communicates with rqlite should not need any changes.
