 ! Important
-Please note that bitweaver version 2 has not been released yet and this is currently a page to collect notes about the upgrade procedure. Please do not use any of the informtion on this page yet!
+We don't allow database changes between major releases, which means that we have to get the database just right. This provides you with a stable environment to work with but unfortunately means [http://www.best essay tips|custom term papers] that release cycles can be slower. Due to the long time, an uncountable number of things have been improved, but it also means that the upgrade process might be a bit more hands-on depending on your setup.
 
-! Why we need this
-We haven't had a release of bitweaver in a very <a href="http://besttermpaper.com/"> custom term papers </a> long time. This is largely down to the fact that we want to provide you with a solid product. Also, we don't allow database changes between major releases, which means that we have to get the database just right. This provides you with a stable environment to work with but unfortunately means that release cycles can be slower.

 !! CategoriesPackage
 Categories are now no longer part of the default bitweaver release. If you want to continue using categories, please download a version [/builds|here].
+
+!! ArticlesPackage
+Images for topics will unfortunately not be displayed in the articles page. there is a very easy fix to this. Please go to the article topic administration page and edit every topic and reupload the topic images. if you still have original versions of the topic images, we recommend you use those since image processing has been improved. if you don't have the original files, please copy the original ones and re-upload those. Once you have done that, your topic images should display as before.
+
+!! phpBBPackage
+If you have been using phpBB so far, we have some good news. we finally have our own boards package called BoardsPackage. you can find upgrade instructions on the ((phpBB to Boards Upgrade)) page.
+
+!! Themes and Styles
+If you have a custom theme, your theme might not be compatible with the new version of bitweaver. Please make sure you compare your custom templates with the new versions of the templates to make sure that your custom templates still work with the new bitweaver. many variables and other things have changed, so it might be easiest to copy a version of the new templates to your custom style directory and apply the changes there.
+
+!! Storage
+Storage now requires a bit_setup_inc.php file. Please make sure you copy accross the file storage/bit_setup_inc.php from the clean filebase to your existing storage directory.
+
+
+! Final note
+We do appologise that the upgrade process is so tedious but there will be no database changes for a while and future upgrades will be very safe, easy and quick. If you liked bitweaver R1 we can guarantee that you will love bitweaver R2 and the upgrade process will be worth the hassle.
