Alexander,

Can you please comment on the new sql serialized array and how we should convert a 4.1.8 database to 4.1.9 (as this is hanging many people up and cauding upgrade errors). ?

Can we expect a pacth to toe sql update to correct this at some point?

Can we get an engineer to discuss why the change, and how we can modify our old code to become comptible.

Since there appears to be a data structure change, do you feel this upgrade would qualify for more than a single increment? Shouldnd't 4.1.9 have become 4.2?

I agree that for the most part, a 4.1.9 upgrade can be applied effortlessly in less than a few minutes -- IF the 4.1.8 store doesn't have many changes -- but if the changes are data fleds, there will be issues. Forget template edits -- let's talk real-world... 4.1.9 is great, agreed - but we need to get our 4.1.8 and earlier stores to 4.1.9 --- the database needs to be patched too. How can we do this?

Thanks,

Jeremy
