| Since alpha 2 is only a few weeks away, we are overdue posting the plans for migrating users from 0.6 or 0.6.1 to 0.7alpha2. In summary, it's a bit ugly but there is a migration path. We are working towards a better solution for 0.7. Non Shared Data: + The migration path for non-shared data will support calendar data only. + Users will have to manually export their calendars, then re-import them into 0.7alpha2. + Each calendar will have to be handled individually since we will not have an export/import all feature. + Any tasks, notes and emails that are not shared will be lost. Shared Data: Currently Cosmo Demo is running Cosmo 0.2.8. Cosmo 0.3 will release about the same time as Chandler 0.7alpha2 but we don't quite know when we will officially upgrade Cosmo Demo. QA will be covering all test scenarios to make sure alpha 2 runs against both Cosmo 0.2.8 and 0.3. + Any shares that users have published can be restored using the restore item in the collection menu. + Users will have to resubscribe to all previous shares using the original tickets they used for 0.6 or 0.6.1. + Since we can currently share any type of Chandler item, restoring shares will handle more than just calendar events. + If you have a Work collection that is shared and a Home collection that is not shared AND an event appears on both calendars, you need to do the restore before the import since the shared version will have the original UUID. + In general we will tell users to restore shares before importing other calendars. + In reference to Morgen's post about backwards compatibility with 0.6 shared collections, Chandler 0.6 and 0.6.1 will be able to sync shares with 0.7alpha 2 users. Since we do not have a solution to restore everything in one-step for alpha2, we plan to communicate this in a readme and/or on the landing page. We will look at modifying the "old repository message" to provide more detail and perhaps a link to the migration instructions. We will also be working with Heikki and Bear to explore our options on the installer side. Sheila |
