RELEASE NOTES
=============
Bugfixes & some improvements (security & perf only)
It has been placed in the "unstable tree" because there are still some bugs.
But it's fully usable, and should not be modified a lot until a stable version is released.
DB modifications :
---------
None, but check that your systempreferences table is :
CREATE TABLE systempreferences (
variable varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
value varchar(200) default NULL,
explanation varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
options text,
type varchar(20) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (variable)
) PACK_KEYS=1;
If you installed a 2.0.0pre1 from scratch, it should be ok.
If your version was a 1.9.x, it should not be ok.
SYSTEMPREFS :
---------
In systempreferences, add a gist field. Used to calculate gst when ordering, in acquisition module. Enter 0.12 for 12% rate.
