16 +Title: net-news/rssguard-4.0 upgrade
17 +Author: Anna Vyalkova <cyber+gentoo@×××××.in>
18 +Posted: 2021-10-27
19 +Revision: 1
20 +News-Item-Format: 2.0
21 +Display-If-Installed: <net-news/rssguard-4.0
22 +
23 +RSS Guard database files created by RSS Guard version 3.9.x are
24 +incompatible with RSS Guard version 4.0 or later [0].
25 +
26 +Configuration file (config.ini) is fully backwards compatible according
27 +to the upstream. You can save it (File -> Backup settings) before an
28 +upgrade and restore it later (File -> Restore settings).
29 +
30 +There is no reliable way to automate the database format conversion, so
31 +action from the user is required before an upgrade can take place.
32 +
33 +The first option would be to export your feeds as an OMPL file
34 +(Accounts -> Export feeds) before an upgrade and import them later
35 +(Account -> Import feeds).
36 +
37 +The second option would be to manually update your database.db file to
38 +4.x.x format following a guide by the upstream developer [1].
39 +
40 +Keep in mind that application data directory has been renamed from
41 +"~/.config/RSS Guard" to "~/.config/RSS Guard 4".
