-<h2>Important Notes</h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li>You can easily upload all the files to your installation folder on the
-server overwriting the existing files, <strong><em>if you take these important
-steps</em></strong>:
- <ol>
- <li>Backup (download) the following files to another folder:
- <ol>
- <li><strong>config_db.php</strong> (contains information about the companies and
-connection info).
- </li>
- <li><strong>config.php</strong> (contains various settings. You only need to
-backup this file if you have done manually changes to it.
- </li>
- <li><strong>/lang/installed_languages.inc</strong> (contains information about the
-installed languages)
- </li>
- <li><strong>/modules/installed_modules.php</strong> (contains information about
-installed modules, <strong>only vers. 1.1</strong>)
- </li>
- <li>if you have made <em>changes to other files</em>, like themes or so, backup
-these files too. </li>
- </ol>
-
- </li>
- <li>Upload all the new files.
- </li>
- <li>Restore the files mentioned in #1. Be <strong>careful</strong> with
- <strong>config.db</strong>. Look into variances. There might be new variables in
-the new version. It might be easier to <em>manually change your former values in
-the new file</em>.
- </li>
- <li>Rename or remove the /install folder (you have already performed the install
-process earlier). </li>
- </ol>
- </li>

+<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\r
+versions are\r
+prefixed with <span style="background: rgb(235, 97, 61) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">[color\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\r
+are\r
+optional:</p>\r
+<ol>\r
+<li>\r
+<p>Application source files update </p>\r
+</li>\r
+<li>\r
+<p>Database upgrade – this step is needed only during upgrade\r
+which involves change in major application version number (e.g. from\r
+2.2.x to 2.3.x), and sometimes during upgrade from beta release to\r
+stable version. Otherwise this step can be skipped.</p>\r
+</li>\r
+<li>\r
+<p>Final cleanup – is needed when some old source files,\r
+obsoleted by new release should be removed.</p>\r
+</li>\r
+<li>\r
+<p>New features configuration – this is optional step needed\r
+for most major releases and some minor ones. </p>\r
+</li>\r
+</ol>\r
+<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Before starting upgrade\r
+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

+<h2><strong><b>2. Database upgrade</b></strong></h2>\r
+<p><strong><span style="">This step can be\r
+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\r
+directory.\r
+</p>\r
+<p>After upgrade is installed you can remove files obsoleted by\r
+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
