Great! Can this release be installed over an existing installation,
using the existing database?
Yes.
Is any conversion necessary?
No. When the database format changes between releases, Shotwell performs
any necessary conversion automatically. With this particular release,
the database format didn't even change, so you can even try Shotwell 0.9
and then go back to 0.8 with the same database if you like.
Sorry, forgot to say: I'm coming from 0.7.2 (the version that came
with Ubuntu 10.10). Is this true then also?
If you're upgrading from 0.7.2 -> 0.9.0, then a database conversion is
necessary, which Shotwell will perform automatically. Once you've run
0.9, you will not be able to go back to 0.7.2 with that same database.
If you're worried about that, you can always make a backup copy of your
.shotwell directory before running 0.9. Cheers -
