+
+## Upgrade notes
+* Ensure you have values for new config variables (see `config/general.yml-example`):
+ * TIME_ZONE (if not set, defaults to UTC)
+ * TWITTER_WIDGET_ID (no Twitter widget is displayed if not set)
+ * THEME_BRANCH (defaults to tagged version specific to your version of alaveteli or, failing that, to master)
+ * MTA_LOG_PATH
+ * MTA_LOG_TYPE (defaults to Exim)
+* Copy config/newrelic.yml-example to config/newrelic.yml - by default monitoring is switched off, see https://github.com/newrelic/rpm for instructions on switching on local and remote performance analysis.
+* Check out this version and run `rails-post-deploy` as usual.
+* Note that mailcatcher is now used in development - see http://mailcatcher.me/ for details
