UPGRADING YOUR EXISTING WEBTOP INSTALLTION
================================================================

This file is meant to give you a quick look at what you will need to do when
upgrading your webtop installation from an older version to this version.  Most of
the time, the recommended procedure is to install the new webtop files in a new
directory, copy over your .properties files from your older webtop installation,
and point your app server at the new webtop installation.  If anything goes wrong,
you can easily revert back to your old installation until the problems can be
resolved.

Any database changes (from here on) will be called out explicitly in this file and
in the changelog.  We will also make an effort to provide SQL scripts that will
upgrade your database for you.

Here is a breakdown of the changes needing to be made for past installations:
