Upgrade notes:
--------------
If you are upgrading from CDS Invenio v0.99.0, then please stop your
bibsched queue and your Apache server and install the v0.99.1 update
in the following way:
$ cd cds-invenio-0.99.1
$ cp -a /opt/cds-invenio/etc /opt/cds-invenio/etc.OLD
$ sh /opt/cds-invenio/etc/build/config.nice
$ make install
$ /opt/cds-invenio/bin/inveniocfg --update-all
$ make update-v0.99.0-tables
$ make check-custom-templates
$ diff -r /opt/cds-invenio/etc /opt/cds-invenio/etc.OLD
and then study the differences in the 'etc' folder and copy or merge
your past customizations (namely, files like HB.bfo). After that
restart your Apache server and your bibsched queue and you are done.
If you are upgrading from previous CDS Invenio releases (e.g. from
v0.92.1), then please see a dedicated Invenio Upgrade wiki page at

*) Some modules of this release (e.g. mail submission system) are
still experimental and not yet activated. You may have a peek at
what is planned, but please do not rely on them.
*) The admin-level functionality of several modules is not fully
developed or documented yet.
