After upgrading my database manually, I was able to use the site successfully. One question - I'm using decorators with 3.1 and I'd like to port my theme to 4.0. Is it possible to copy the top and bottom parts of my decorator into two files (i.e. _header.vm and _footer.vm) and include them on each page of my site?
Even better, is it possible for me to hack my Roller version to support decorators again? I suppose I could integrate SiteMesh, but that might be more trouble than it's worth. I like the decorator functionality because it allows Roller to be used like a CMS - shame to see it go. +1 for releasing 4.0 RC9 as 4.0.
