<DIV><SPAN class=650445216-29102010><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hear a new Xymon
beta of 4.3.0 is not far away so I'm thinking of updating my existing "Hobbit"
install (running old "Hobbit Monitor 4.3.0-0.20080929" from subversion) to
latest "Xymon" 4.3.0 from subversion... Any there any <EM>known

<DIV><SPAN class=650445216-29102010><FONT face=Arial size=2>And what gotchas are
there likely to be, what do I need to look out for, test, etc.? Is it wise
to backup my existing install first (I'm guessing 'yes'), and if so, which parts
do I need to back up and which parts can I skip backing up (since I expect all
the history is rather large and if I don't need to back that up, that would be
nice).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=650445216-29102010><FONT face=Arial size=2>If there are likely
to be a lot of update issues, are there any plans to document the update
process, and/or produce an update script to help the process? I don't want
to spend a long time updating my Hobbit install, but I'm also aware that filing
bug reports (or feature requests on features that don't quite work as they
should in my book, but are not really bugs either) on a 2 year old version
is less than ideal!</FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
