* stop the old daemon, e.g. with
/etc/init.d/disorder stop
+ * back up your database
* build and install the new version as described in the README
* update the configuration files (see below)
* start the new daemon, e.g. with
explicitly mentioned; a version number like 1.1 implicitly includes
all 1.1.x versions.
-* 1.5 -> 1.6
+* 1.5 -> 2.0
+
+** Database upgrade
+
+The first thing the server does when upgrading from 1.5 is run the
+disorder-dbupgrade program. This is necessary to modify any non-ASCII track
+names to meet the latest version's stricter normalization practices. The
+upgrade should succeed automatically; if not it should leave an error message
+in syslog.
+
+It is strongly recommended that you back up your database before performing the
+upgrade. For example, as root, with the server STOPPED:
+ cd /var/disorder
+ mkdir BACKUP
+ cp -p * BACKUP
+
+To restore, again as root:
+ cd /var/disorder
+ rm *
+ cp -p BACKUP/* .
** 'transform' and 'namepart' directives
