Upgrade from 2.7.2 to current

There is an SQL statement that upgrades the database structure from 2_7_2-to-2_7_3_upgrade.sql. 

Is there a similar file for changing the database structure from 2.7.3 to 2.8.0 ?

I guess not.  2.7.3 final was not released, we called it 2.8.0 instead.

We don’t have a policy about where the new stuff goes sql wise.

I think a valid approach after the stable release is
1./ name the current version as 2.8.1
2./ keep the 2_8_0 sql frozen
3./ dump all aditions on the 2_8_0-to-2_8_1_upgrade file,
4./ when we release the 2.8.1 we make a compact database.sql again and re-start at point 1./

so for anyone upgrading from the cvs repository you’ll need to run the 2_8_0-to-2_8_1_upgrade.sql as well,

There is a 2_7_2-to-2_7_3_upgrade.sql. but I doubt is complete.
