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, since there are now some new required options! The most important: $dbdriver. If you used previously a binary db without a config, then you will get trouble with your existing notedb because the default values for field sizes has been changed (it was too small)! You have two choices: 1. make a database dump ("note -D") with your old note-version. 2. remove your existing .notedb (and/or back it up!) 3. install the new note version 4. import the previously created dump ("note -I note.dump.23112") or Edit the config to reflect your field size settings. Set the fields MAX_TIME=64 and MAX_NOTE=1024 (which was the default of previous versions of note). AGAIN: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! DO NOT UPGRADE WITHOUT MADE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU LOOSE DATA!
