Upgrade Instructions
Due to the amount of files changed in this update, the upgrade process will require overwriting all files and running the Arrowchat installer again. You can look at your config.php file to view your previous installation settings -- these will not change.
It is important that you delete or rename all ArrowChat database tables before reinstalling.
Make copies of your config.php and includes/functions_receive.php files if they are unique so that you'll be able to transfer them over with the new version. STANDALONE CUSTOMERS: We have added a new function to the functions_receive.php file! Be sure to edit this if necessary.
Important Note: The header include files have changed. Be sure to update your header templates!
