 Upgrade notes

When upgrading from a previous version of Achievo, a database patch is necessary. The Achievo setup.php script can take care of this. After upgrading the software, go to the setup.php script in your Achievo directory, using your browser. Login as 'Administrator', with the password configured in the config.inc.php file, and follow the instructions on screen. More detailed upgrade instructions can be found in the UPGRADE file in the doc/ directory inside the Achievo tar.gz file Note: This release contains the document manager and the quotation module. If you have an Achievo installation with the module separated from achievo you can remove them from your config.inc.php.

Note: We moved to PHP5! this is because ATK also moved to PHP5 and the support for PHP4 has been stopped at 31-12-2007 by Zend.

 Translations

This release contains many new text strings. Not all of them have been updated yet in all languages. If you would like to help update the translations for the final release, please edit the language file, update the missing strings and send the result to translations@achievo.org.
