1.2 Should I upgrade to 2.0.0?
-------------------------------
Despite all the care taken to prepare this release, it is still considered as "beta" quality
and therefore is NOT recommended for a production use. However, feel free to use it and experiment.
Note that upgrading an installation of iTop 1.x will preserve your original data model and data.
Yes, we recommend you to upgrade.
Please note that upgrading an installation of iTop 1.x will preserve your original data model and data.
Would you like to benefit from the new modelization of the data, then you have to install 2.0
from scratch and migrate your data between the two applications by exporting and importing them back.
This version does fix a significant number of issues (sse the list below).
It also comes with significant improvements in the end-user experience:

------------
No big changes in localization for this release.
From Beta 2, the new datamodel has been translated into Spanish, Russian, German and Japanese.
The portuguese localization is 90% complete for the data model 1.3, but it is rather incomplete if you use the brand new data model 2.0.
More information on the localization (completion progress, how to contribute) here:

#569 Mandatory date (and time) fields are prefilled with the current date (and time).
Implemented the "multiple choices" in search forms for Enums and External keys.
Added a refresh button (and creation /modification messages) on the details of an object

error.log moved into the log directory
Display an empty string for the friendlyname of a NULL external key
New developer tool: set log_queries=1 to enable query logging into data/queries.log. The accumulative log data/queries.log can be replayed with test/replay_query_log.php which produces a result file (to check the stability of the results) and a benchmark file (to see the efficiency in CSV)
Debugging: run_query now produces the debug output (log_kpi_duration)
Optimization of SQL queries: reduce the number of JOINS, assuming that data are consistent. Can be disabled with config setting query_optimization_enabled => 0.
New parameter to tweak the display of Impact anaysis: which tab to display first? list or graphics?
Performance enhancement for impact analysis: avoid looping in the recursion.
When iTop is in read only mode, then the portal displays a banner and prevent the user from accessing the modification forms
Added some checks around the configuration of PHP sessions since it seems to cause a lot of troubles.

Renamed the SQl table from priv_Userinternal to priv_userinternal, and added a check for table names (lowercase is the rule!)
Bug fix:
- Correct initial sort order of a table if the default sort column is not an "alphabetical" column (i.e. IP Address)
- Properly sort on the first column (name) when the name is made of a column with a different sort algorithm (i.e. IP Address).
