Upgrading to version 2.4.0

1. install SQL-Ledger over top
   # cd /usr/local
   # tar zxvf sql-ledger-2.4.0.tar.gz

2. fix permissions
   # chown -hR nobody:nogroup *
   # chmod 711 templates users spool

replace nobody:nogroup with your web server user and group

3. install the plpgsql language compiler for PostgreSQL
   # createlang plpgsql <dataset>

4. install plpgsql in template1
   # createlang plpgsql template1

5. Edit your templates! The old address fields are obsolete.

The new fields are:
  address1
  address2
  city
  state
  zipcode
  country

The same applies to the "shipto" addresses.

Before you log in edit Pg-upgrade-2.3.4-2.3.5.sql and change the
way addresses are rewritten if you don't want US style addresses.

North-american addresses are usually in the form of

Five Star Stables
123 Horsehoe Blvd.
Sweetgrass, MT 19867
U.S.A

addr1 --> address1
addr2 --> city
addr3 --> country
addr4 --> state

addr4 was put into the state field to bring the field forward
to the new layout. To check if there is something in the field run
a report and sort by the "State" field.

Either edit the records or run the SQL queries below to take them apart.

If you have anything in the "state" field change the records to match
the others before you run the following queries.

dbname=# update customer set state = substr(city,strpos(city,' ')+1);
dbname=# update customer set zipcode = substr(state,strpos(state,' ')+1);
dbname=# update customer set state = substr(state,1,strpos(state,' ')-1);
dbname=# update customer set city = substr(city,1,strpos(city,',')-1);

do the same with the vendor and shipto table.

6. create a new set of templates

  * load admin.pl and edit one of the user's
  * in the "New Templates" field enter "new" and save the user
  * go back in your browser so you have the same screen again
    as before
  * change the template directory back to what it was before
    the change and save the user
    
  * drop into a shell window
  * cd to sql-ledger/templates/new
  * copy the additional templates to your private template directory
  
7. Printers

printer setup has changed to multiple printers which allow
users to choose a printer. Printers can be defined in sql-ledger.conf
