1.0.5 important note upgrade information ======================================== If you are upgrading from previous versions of note, you will need to create a new config file, since the format of that file has completely changed! Take a look at the sample in config/noterc for details. note will NOT work with an existing database and an old config. You have to create a new config based on your old settings. Please don't forget to make a backup of your database before upgrading! I am not responsible for data loss! I told ya... Thomas Linden READ THIS FILE, IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM 0.9 TO 1.0.x ====================================================== In any case: BACKUP your existing note database!!!!!!! The format has not changed, but some default values (see the new config file-sample). Use this command to save your note database with your *old* version of note: "note -D" This works with both the mysql and the binary version. You need to reedit your configfile. Please refer to the sample config in config/noterc. ====================================================== This version of note has now encryption support build in. If you decide to use it, you need to re-initialize your note database. That's why, because your current database is unencrypted and *if* you want to secure your data, you need to secure everything. That means, your existing data must be encrypted before you can use this new capability! Follow this steps: o backup existing db: $ note -D o backup the db: $ cp .notedb .notedb.save or (for mysql users!): $ cp -r /usr/local/mysql/data/notedb ~/notedb.mysql.save o go into note and delete all existing notes: $ note -d 1-20 (or however) o now upgrade your note installation: $ perl Makefile.PL; make install o re-configure note. Turn $USE_CRYPT on by setting it to "YES". o re-initialize your database: $ note -I note.dump.2323 (or whatever) note will prompt you for a passphrase. It will be used by Crypt::CBC for encrypting your data. From now on, your data is encrypted. You will need the passphrase you set above for decrypting it! So - don't forget it! ====================================================== AGAIN: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! DO NOT UPGRADE WITHOUT MADE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU LOOSE DATA!
