 includes a number of security and data integrity improvements, and future
 versions will likely add new features as well.
 
-To convert an existing SQL-Ledger installation to LedgerSMB, copy the files from
-the tarball over your existing SQL-Ledger directory and run the SL2LS.pl script.
-This script will rename some files, delete others, and pretty soon you will have
-a working LedgerSMB installation.
+As of SQL-Ledger 2.8, upgrading has not been as simple as converting files and 
+importing users.  Both data and users must be imported.  Currently we have no 
+native tool to import users, though with some effort the 1.2 import_users.pl 
+could be tweaked to insert users with preset passwords (perhaps valid for a 
+week).
 
-The database will be updated on first login.

-You will also want to migrate your configuration by running the SL2LS.pl script 
-included in this directory.
+The database import scripts are still works in progress.  The primary one is 
+sql/upgrade/sql-ledger2ledgersmb-wip.sql.  At present it only does AP, but 
+could be extended to import AR transactions and customers as well with a little
+effort.  Also, much of 1.2-1.3.sql may be applicable and useful to importing 
+other parts of the database.
