 *** IMPORTANT UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS ***
 **************************************
-From srvx 1.4:
-  Rename srvx.conf to x3.conf
-  Review .conf file settings. 
-    * remove giveops, givevoice from set_shows and add "Voice" above "Protect".
-    * you can change from srvx.db to x3.db here also (dont forget to rename the file)
-  Run all of the steps below
+Generally version-to-version upgrades can be done without trouble. The code
+for the most part aims to be backward-compatable. You should back up the .db
+files first (but you back those up anyway, dont you?)
 
-As of CVS version 1.24:
-  bind chanserv 'uset autoop' and 'set voice' (see note below).
+Sometimes when upgrading, some commands may have changed. When you upgrade
+your .db file may not have command bindings for new commands added.
+There is now a command to assist with this: rebindall.
+If you don't have the 'rebindall' command bound, first bind it:
+    /msg O3 bind o3 * *modcmd.*
+Then, after any upgrade, or after adding modules, or changing command effecting settings
+such as 'email', you can simply run:
+    /msg O3 rebindall
+to ensure you have all the latest commands bound on all services.

-NOTE about command bindings:
-You may do: 'bind x3 * *chanserv.*' to re-bind ALL builtin commands on chanserv. This
-is the simplest approach and probably a good idea to run for each module (chanserv, 
-opserv, nickserv, modcmd, etc) after upgrading or changing some features (such as email).  
+You may do: 'bind nick * *module.*' to re-bind ALL builtin commands on a givin module,
+(chanserv, opserv, nickserv, modcmd, etc) if you prefer to update them individually
+(if you unbind some default commands, and want them to stay unbound).  
 Alternatively you can edit the .db by hand or using the 'bind' command on irc. 
-IMPORTANT: You will need to shut down x3 gracefully (using the die or restart commands)
+NOTE: You will need to shut down x3 gracefully (using the die or restart commands)
 after binding in order for 'set' and 'uset' subcommand changes to function properly since
