<p>Almost three years in the making!</p>
<p><strong>Removed</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Database migration from old versions</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you’re on the latest version of WP-Gistpen, you should have no problems. Given that the plugin hasn’t been updated on .org in 2+ years, and .org reports the only versions are 0.5.x+, anyone who is still using an old version of WP-Gistpen is unlikely to upgrade to 1.0.0+ anyway. We are going to remove the Migration code because it’ll allow us to remove a lot of old code that is currently only being used by it.</p>
<p>If you’re using an old version of WP-Gistpen, you’ll need to upgrade to 0.5.2+ before upgrading to 1.0.0 or the database migration will not be performed correctly. Fresh installs should have no problems either.</p>
