-Before you upgrade, please be aware that both the database schema and the
-config file formats have been updated since 0.12. Quassel will automatically
-upgrade both once the new version is started for the first time, however no
-rollback is possible, so do make a backup before starting the new version! The
-upgrade may take a long time (up to several hours) if your database is
-(un)reasonably large, during which the core or mono client cannot be used. The
-upgrade may also temporarily require up to double the disk space. Do not
-interrupt the upgrade process, otherwise your database may become corrupted!
