+<h3>Upgrades</h3>
+<p>When upgrading to a new major or minor release of SLURM (e.g. 0.3.x to 0.4.x) 
+all running and pending jobs will be purged due to changes in state save 
+information. It is possible to develop software to translate state information 
+between versions, but we do not normally expect to do so.
+When upgrading to a new micro release of SLURM (e.g. 0.3.1 to 0.3.2) all
+running and pending jobs will be preserved. Just install a new version of
+SLURM and restart the daemons.
+An exception to this is that jobs may be lost when installing new pre-release 
+versions (e.g. 0.4.0-pre1 to 0.4.0-pre2). We'll try to note these cases 
+in the NEWS file.
