-<br /><h2>Important Notes</h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li>You can easily upload all the files to your installation folder on the
-server overwriting the existing files. From 2.2 RC, your existing configuration files, - <span style="font-weight: bold;">config_db.php, config.php, /lang/installed_languages.inc and installed_extensions.php</span> - will nolonger be installed. They are created the first time you install FrontAccounting and don't need further updates.<br /><ol>
- </ol><ul><li>Backup (download) the following files to another folder:
- <ul><li>if you have made <em>changes to other files</em>, like themes or so, backup
-these files. </li></ul><ol>
- </ol>
-
- </li><li>Upload all the new files.
- </li><li>Look into the file, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">config.default.php and compare with your own config.php</span> file.

+<h2>Important Notes</h2>\r
+<p>Upgrade process can be done only by administrator of the first\r
+company created during FrontAccounting installation. This person is\r
+considered as a site admin who have granted access to potentially\r
+dangerous setup options, like Setup/Software Upgrade.</p>\r
+<p>In the following description sections related to older FA versions are\r
+prefixed with <span style="background: rgb(235, 97, 61) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;">[color tags]</span><span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;">\r
+. Y</span>ou can skip tagged fragment safely if currently FA\r
+application is newer than the version in tag.</p>\r
+<p>Upgrade process consists of up to four stages, some of them are\r
+optional:</p>\r
+<ol>\r
+ <li><p>Application source files update \r
+ </p>\r
+ </li><li><p>Database upgrade – this step is needed only during\r
+ upgrade which involves change in major application version number\r
+ (e.g. from 2.2.x to 2.3.x), and sometimes during upgrade from beta\r
+ release to stable version. Otherwise this step can be skipped.</p>\r
+ </li><li><p>Final cleanup – is needed when some old source files,\r
+ obsoleted by new release should be removed.</p>\r
+ </li><li><p>New features configuration – this is optional step\r
+ needed for most major releases and some minor ones. \r
+ </p>\r
+</li></ol>\r
+<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Before starting upgrade ensure nobody\r
+is using the application and make database backup for all companies.\r
+To be on safe side backup also old source files, especially those\r
+locally customized (if any).</p>\r
+<p>Log into admin account of first company.<strong> </strong><strong><span style="">If\r
+you use a theme other than the standard 3 (aqua, cool or default),\r

+<p><strong><span style="">This step can be skipped\r
+for small version updates i.e. when you have already installed\r
+FrontAccounting version 2.3.1 or later. Before database upgrade is\r
+done on all company databases backup file is created automatically to\r
+enable database restore after failure.</span></strong></p>\r
+<p><strong><span style="">After major version\r
+upgrade overwriting files in first step makes the system unaccessible\r
+for all users but site admin, who have to run upgrade procedures to\r
+update all company databases to the new version provided with the\r
+release. After logging to administrator account of first installed\r
+company go directly to Setup/Software Upgrade screen, mark all\r
+subsequent 'Install' checkboxes and press 'Upgrade System'.</span></strong></p>\r
+<p style="">If something goes wrong during\r
+upgrade, you can eventually try forced upgrade option. Forced upgrade\r
+ignores some smaller errors which can arise during upgrade due to\r
+some exotic database configuration. This is depreciated option, so\r
+first read error messages if any, try to fix signalized problems,\r
+restore databases from backup and retry normal installation. To run\r
+upgrade in forced mode check box 'Force Upgrade', and press 'Upgrade\r
+System' again.</p>\r
+<h2>3. Final cleanup</h2>\r
+<p>Remove or rename install folder in main FrontAccounting directory.\r
+</p>\r
+<p>After upgrade is installed you can remove files obsoleted by new\r
+FrontAccounting version. Also old, unused settings <span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">can\r
+be removed from </span></span><i><b>config.php</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">\r
+file.</span></span></p>\r

+<h2>4. New features configuration</h2>\r
+<p>During upgrade process new features are initialized to default\r
+status, and sometimes old settings are also changed to conform with\r
+new security policy. This automatic process is designed to be as\r
+neutral for end users as possible, however sometimes site or company\r
+admin intervention can be necessary to set thing after changes to\r
+their best state. Below you will find description of new settings\r
+available after upgrade.</p>\r
