NOTE: added a new CAVEAT for updating to latest amnesiac 2.0.1(cvs 40+)

NOTE: most of this information here is for referece purposes, for some brave
amnesiac users who still have yet to upgrade in the past 3+ years. you
should always back up your ~/.amn savefile directory before attempting to
upgrade in case things breaks, or needs to be merged manually.

WARNING: the following may screw up your script, remove precious savefiles or
render the client unusable, you have been warned.

## /adump info and why.
/adump is more of a scripters command, there are various usages of this cmd,
i.e when playing with /sets and or formats/sbars etc.. something went wrong
/adump will dump and reload/configure the script from it's last /save position
(basically last working config before it got messed up)

## Upgrading from 1.1x 1.2x to 1.3d 1.4d
rm -rf /path/to/amn
tar zxf newver.tgz (will normally uncompress in home dir, or current dir)
or if one wishes to specify where to put amn
tar zxf newver.tgz -C /path/to/where/you/want/it
/adump (in client)

## upgrading to snapshots
wget http://amnesiac.ircii.org/ac-snap.tgz
rm -rf /path/to/amn
tar zxf ac-snap.tgz (this will store in current dir usually home as amn)
or to specify where to put amn.
tar zxf ac-snap.tgz -C /path/to/preferred/place
/adump (in client)

## AS of 1.5.x release we are now using a public cvs server.
NOTE: please see docs/cvs-update.txt for more information.

most of you should be able to update easily after grabbing the latest
release and or snapshot, cd /path/to/your/amn && cvs up -Pd 
this will require you to have cvs installed naturally.

NOTE: in some cases you may have to rm -rf ~/.amn in cases we may have
broke backwards compatability with some things.
ie; banwordkick(mmatrix module) and format settings(core client)
^^ information is outdated. its strictly a reference for upgrading amnesiac
from 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 to 1.5 for example.

NEW - 05.12.10
-because of so many changes to our object layout, and file deletion/moving
/renames, etc, you MUST rm -rf ~/amn if you are not upgrading from CVS,
else follow the CVS-UPDATE information how to update via CVS.

upgrading from 1.x 2.0 -> 2.0.1+(commit id 40+)
use cvs, and or rm -rf ~/amn
tar zxf ac-snap.tgz
/adump if you're brave, if using older epic5 it may not even load.
