-<ul>\r
-<li>Now\r
-the Last Sent day is stamped with the former Last Sent (or Begin date\r

-with tthe creation date (today). The Invoice date is still todays date.\r
-</li>\r
-<li>If you for some reason want to make a pause in the\r
-recurrent\r
-invoices, you can now edit the Last Sent day in the Management section\r
-of Sales tab.</li>\r
-<li>Before the days value, together with a month\r
-value, decided which day in the month the invoice was due..\r
- This\r
-does not work now. You can change the day in the\r
-month you\r
-want the recurrency to happen by setting the Last Sent day with the new\r
-day in the Management section. </li>\r
-<li>If you create a new Recurrent Invoice the Beginning date\r
-can be set to the day in the month you want the recurrencies to be due.</li>\r
-</ul>\r
-<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
-switch to one of these before going further.</span></strong></p>\r
