* stop the old daemon: /etc/init.d/disorder stop
* back up your database directory (example below)
- * build and install the new version as described in the README
+ * build and install the new version as described in the README. Remember to
+ install the new version of the web interface too.
* update the configuration files (see below)
* start the new daemon, e.g. with
/etc/init.d/disorder start
explicitly mentioned; a version number like 1.1 implicitly includes
all 1.1.x versions.
+* 2.0 -> 2.1

+** Authentication
+
+Users are now stored in the database rather than in 'allow' directives in a
+private configuration file. 'allow' is still understood in this version, but
+is only used to populate the database on startup. After the first (successful)
+run of the server the remaining 'allow' directives should be deleted.
+
+'restrict' and 'trust' are replaced by a system of per-user rights. The
+default user rights are based on the 'restrict' setting, and the rights of
+users created frow 'allow' directives preserve the meaning of 'trust', but
+after the first run you should remove these directives and (optionally) add a
+'default_rights' directive.
+
+'allow', 'restrict' and 'trust' will stop working entirely in a future version
+but for now they will generate harmless error messages.
+
+** Web Interface
+
+The web interface no longer uses HTTP basic authentication and the web server
+configuration imposing access control on it should be removed. Users now log
+in using their main DisOrder password and the one in the htpassed file is now
+obsolete.

* 1.4/1.5 -> 2.0
** 'transform' and 'namepart' directives
