1.3 is still a prerelease. You shouldn't be installing it unless you have help and/or know what you are doing. I would also recommend it as a prerelease only where the reconciliation or separation of duties enhancements are required. There are some specific pain areas that you can expect. Customization of templates will probably have to be redone because we have moved to TemplateToolkit. This is a one time change and we don't expect further template changes after this time.

A lot has been redesigned between 1.2 and 1.3. As has been an ongoing process we have also tightened up data constraints. Duplicate or missing customer or vendor numbers and duplicate ar invoice numbers could cause problems. Unlike past versions, we have decided to provide a database upgrade wizard (not recommended for users of replication solutions but then presumably they know what they are doing). In the spirit of trying to keep this as manageable as possible, the upgrade wizard would check for known problems, at each problem found give you a way to correct them, and then repeat the checks until know more problems are found. From there it will be a matter of importing the data, then allowing you to correct data that has some issues (like countries, missing addresses, etc). Finally user permissions would have to be reassigned. I will have to go back and check but I thought I sent a proposal to the list about an upgrade interface. For a single user system, it should be enough to grant all permissions.
