Upgrade Considerations

Microsoft Access databases have been deprecated since the release of FogBugz 8. If you're planning to upgrade FogBugz to FogBugz 8.8.39 or later and you currently have a Microsoft Access database, please contact customer-service@fogcreek.com and we'll convert the database to SQL Server format for you. If you don't have an existing installation of SQL Server, then SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and 2012 are free for database up to 10GB in size.

>Caution" bubbles to discourage emailing FogBugz users What does that mean? – christian123 Jul 25 at 7:58

@christian123 if you enter the email address of an existing FogBugz Users when sending an email from within FogBugz, instead of the email being outlined in blue, it will be outlined in yellow. – Ben McCormack Jul 25 at 14:18
This release is a great improvement for those running under linux with MySQL. Mono was previously using 5-6% of the cpu while "idle" with big spikes during usage. With the latest release it's down around 1-2%. – William W Oct 8 at 16:10

Is it possible to get more documentation on the miscellaneous fixes?
