+Older versions
+==============
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE: StatusNet 0.7.4 introduced a fix for some
+incorrectly-stored international characters ("UTF-8"). For new
+installations, it will now store non-ASCII characters correctly.
+However, older installations will have the incorrect storage, and will
+consequently show up "wrong" in browsers. See below for how to deal
+with this situation.
+
+NOTE: the database definition file, laconica.ini, has been renamed to
+statusnet.ini (since this is the recommended database name). If you
+have a line in your config.php pointing to the old name, you'll need
+to update it.
+
+Note that the XMPP bots have changed since version 0.5; see above for
+details.
+
+Privacy
+=======
+
+With StatusNet 1.0, our default install profile is for private sites.
+
+If you did not specify the privacy level of your site previously, it
+was public. Now, it's private.
+
+If you upgrade a public site, you will need to reset the privacy
+level. You can do this in your config.php:
+
+ $config['site']['private'] = false;
+
+...or with setconfig.php in the db:
+
+ php setconfig.php site private false
+
+...or with the site admin panel.
