- versions of PHP, but many of the functions used are only available
- in PHP 5.2 or above. 5.2.6 or later is needed for XMPP background
- daemons on 64-bit platforms. PHP 5.3.x should work correctly in this

may have to unpack the tarball on your local computer and FTP the
files to the server.)
2. Move the tarball to a directory of your choosing in your Web root
directory. Usually something like this will work:
- mv statusnet-0.9.9 /var/www/statusnet
+ mv statusnet-1.1.1 /var/www/statusnet
This will make your StatusNet instance available in the statusnet path of
your server, like "http://example.net/statusnet". "microblog" or

-which is what the Identi.ca site uses, and "default", which is a good
-basis for other sites.
+Older themes (version 0.9.x and below) no longer work with StatusNet
+1.0.x, due to major changes in the site layout. We ship with three new
+themes for this version, 'neo', 'neo-blue' and 'neo-light'.

You may want to start by copying the files from the default theme to
your own directory.
-NOTE: the HTML generated by StatusNet changed *radically* between
-version 0.6.x and 0.7.x. Older themes will need signification
