Thanks for the notes, Chris. Hopefully that'll help other people who are trying to upgrade old installs.
I should point out for anyone else reading the notes that you were able to get away with not needing the old secret key because you're (I'm assuming) using something like LDAP or NIS or Active Directory. In these cases, we don't store an encrypted password in the database, so it should be fine. However, if you have *any* built-in auth accounts (like an initially created admin user), you'll probably want to use your old secret key. Or just use it anyway, it should be safe enough. Hope things go well for your users, and thanks for all the patches you've been providing recently!
