========================================
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...

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!
