Sorry, I don't have a lot of time between now and then to grovel through bug fixes. Is there a consolidated list of schema changes anywhere I can just apply after the 1st? Or will I have to dump my database and reload (ick)?

I will send out detailed instructions on how to update your server  
without having to reload the data.

In essence the steps will be:
0. download the latest source from SVN
1. stop anything that might access the DB.
2. run our update scripts from our new codebase
3. switch your config to start the new codebase
4. start whatever your stopped in step 1.

Unless we make a major change (possible) step 2 should only take a  
minute or two.

More details to follow probably on March 31st.
