*What's New*
-----------

Welcome to WebCollab 2.61:

This release is effectively a re-release of WebCollab 2.60.  Two minor, but annoying bugs in the 
task summary pages are fixed.

WebCollab has a new logo, thanks to Mourad Mokrane.  The database calls have reduced by code
optimisations which have totally removed the need for 'number of rows' and 'data seek'.  Various
minor bugs reported have been fixed.

The UTF-8 version of WebCollab is recommended for all users, provided the optional mb_strings
library is installed in PHP.  For users with languages other than English, the UTF-8 version is
strongly recommended because it has far superior internationalisation.


*Translations*
--------------

Some languages are not currently being worked on, and are assistance would be appreciated. More
information on the website under 'Translations'.

*Setup Program*
---------------

WebCollab has a web-based setup program.

- After unpacking the files, point your web browser at:

    http://your_site/webcollab-2.61/setup.php

  (Replace 'your_site' with your site address).

  ** You will need to make your /config/config.php file world writable **

- Follow the on screen instructions.

For more detailed instructions look in the /docs directory after unpacking.

---

As for all WebCollab 2.xx versions, the minimum database version for MySQL is 4.1.3.  Earlier
versions of MySQL will not work, and will give an error message about not being able set the
timezone and/or character set.

The UTF-8 version also requires the optional PHP mb_string library to be installed.

---

After installing, be sure to enter the 'Admin Config' menu to set your return email addresses.  Then
select 'Edit user' from the main screen to set your correct email address.


*Database Compatibility for Upgrading*
-------------------------------------

Before attempting to run with any existing database records from a version earlier than Webcollab
 2.50 you need to upgrade your database.  This can be done automatically by the WebCollab software
for any earlier version of WebCollab.

Point your browser at:

  http://your_site/webcollab-2.61/update.php

(You need to replace 'your_site' with your site address).

Enter a valid admin user name and password when prompted... Database upgrade is automatic.


*Running Setup after an Upgrade*
--------------------------------

1. Open the file [webcollab]/config/config.php with your favourite text editor.  Find this line:

   $WEB_CONFIG = "N";

   It is near the top of the file.  Change "N" to "Y".

2. Make sure the file world writable - or, at least writable by the webserver.

3. Point your web browser at:

    http://your_site/webcollab-2.61/setup.php

4. Make sure to choose 'no' when prompted to create a new database....

5. Follow the on screen instructions.


*UTF-8 Version*
--------------

For the UTF-8 version of WebCollab the following changes are made:

[webcollab]/config/config.php

  - The 'UNICODE_VERSION' parameter is changed from 'N' to 'Y'.


[webcollab]/lang/

  - The language files are all in UTF-8 character set.
  - The file [webcollab]/lang/lang_list.php has a translation listing.
