+of the new 1.5 release series. There are several known and likely a number
+of unknown bugs; it is not recommended to use this release in a production
+environment but would be recommended for testing in mind of an upcoming
+deployment.

+including database changes and a reworking of the user permissions settings.
+See the file UPGRADE for details of upgrading and changing your prior
