Well, at this point I guess only the manual migration should work
BTW, I reorganized this place and I'll upload some tools as well (I
should make another release in the week fixing many issues...)

Well, for what version are those tools made ?? 2.4 and 2.6 are not
compatible from the user tool point of view, I would need to have a look
at the code to say exactly what to change, but you can have a look at

Thanks, although I could have made one :) (I'll do for next release, I

Don't worry, we'll be stable (beta?) soon (I hope at least :) )

post here anytime to announce another alpha test release :) (yes it is
alpha for now :) )
