i just upgraded from 0.9.5 to 1.0.1 with preaparing by combine
"db.inc.php" and "main.inc.php" into "defaults.inc.php" and
made the db-scheme changes before rollout
my self built RPM only provides the classic theme
no configuration files in the RPM
upgrade completly un-noticeable
$rcmail_config['session_storage'] = 'php'; out of the box
frankly, even my existing user session did not get
interrupted - impressive!
