Compatibility

Some serious bugs were found from the 1.0.0-rc8 version database and we opted to fix the broken migrations directly instead of patching them in a separate migration. This means that this release doesn't introduce any new migrations but changes the old ones. For this reason the old databases are not compatible with this release.

We highly recommend that you don't put NorfelloCMMS to production use before the first stable version is released.

Known Bugs and Issues
