  24 =====
  25
  26 **Do this to upgrade**
  27
  28 1. Make sure to run ``bin/gmg dbuptdate`` after upgrading.
  29
  30 2. If you set up your server config with an older version of
  31    mediagoblin and the mediagoblin docs, it's possible you don't
  32    have the "theme static files" alias, so double check to make
  33    sure that section is there if you are having problems.
  34
  35
  36
  37 **New features**
  38
  39 * **theming support**
  40
  41   MediaGoblin now also includes theming support, which you can
  42   read about in the section :ref:`theming-chapter`.
  43
  44 * **flatpages**
  45
  46   MediaGoblin has a flatpages plugin allowing you to add pages that
  47   are aren't media-related like "About this site...", "Terms of
  48   service...", etc.
  49
  50   See :ref:`core-plugin-section` for plugin documentation
  51
  52 * **trim_whitespace**
  53
  54   We bundle the optional plugin trim_whitespace which reduces the size
  55   of the delivered html output by reducing redundant whitespace.
  56
  57   See :ref:`core-plugin-section` for plugin documentation

  59 0.3.0
  60 =====
  61
  62 This release has one important change. You need to act when
  63 upgrading from a previous version!
  64
  65 This release changes the database system from MongoDB to
  66 SQL(alchemy). If you want to setup a fresh instance, just
  67 follow the instructions in the deployment chapter. If on
  68 the other hand you want to continue to use one instance,
  69 read on.
  70
  71 To convert your data from MongoDB to SQL(alchemy), you need
  72 to follow these steps:
  73
  74 1. Make sure your MongoDB is still running and has your
  75    data, it's needed for the conversion.
  76
  77 2. Configure the ``sql_engine`` URI in the config to represent
  78    your target database (see: :ref:`deploying-chapter`)
  79
  80 3. You need an empty database.
  81
  82 4. Then run the following command::
  83
  84        bin/gmg [-cf mediagoblin_config.ini] convert_mongo_to_sql
  85
  86 5. Start your server and investigate.
  87
  88 6. That's it.
