284 > A quick list of things to be aware of before upgrading from earlier
296 Some installers may remove earlier versions completely, including
297 configuration files. Save any important configuration files!
303 On the other hand, other installers may not overwrite any existing configuration
304 files, thinking you will want to do that. You may want to manually check
305 your saved files against the newer versions to see if the improvements have
306 merit, or whether there are new options that you may want to consider.
307 There are a number of new features, but most won't be available unless
308 these features are incorporated into your configuration somehow.
317 > now only includes the enabled actions.
318 Not all actions as before.
323 > Logging is off by default now. If you need logging, it can be turned on
