Upgrading from prior MRBS 1.2-pre3 Upgrading from prior MRBS 1.2-pre3
================================== ==================================
Upgrade to MRBS 1.2-pre3 first by following the upgrade instructions in that
mrbs 1.2-pre3 introduced area and room administrator email fields. release.
Please apply the upgrade3.my.sql to add these fields. This file should work
both with mysql and pgsql.
Upgrading from prior to MRBS 1.0 final
======================================
Please apply the upgrade2.my.sql (if using MySQL) or the
the upgrade2.pg.sql (if using PostgreSQL) script, which
adds a new column to the 'mrbs_repeat' table to support
"n-weekly" repeats.
Upgrading from prior to MRBS 1.0-pre1
======================================
A change in version 1.0-pre1 might affect the appearance of entries in your
existing database. Prior versions of MRBS did an extra and unnecessary
level of backslash-escaping on room, area, and entry names and
descriptions. This applied to certain characters such as single quote
mark(') and backslash(\). As of version 1.0-pre1, these characters are
handled correctly. If you see extra backslashes when MRBS displays names or
descriptions, it is because these are in actually your database. You can
edit the entries in MRBS or directly with your database SQL tool, or just
ignore them.
Upgrading from prior to MRBS 0.7
================================
There was a change to the database schema at version 0.7. See the
information in INSTALL on using the upgrade.my.sql script.
