   Format: MarkdownThe latest Instiki update had a step which modified the database tables a little. Given our hassles with the database when moving to our new hosts, this sort of thing always makes me a little nervous. So please be on the lookout for behaviour that might be attributable to data being stored incorrectly. (I took a backup of the database before doing this just to be safe so we won't lose any data, and I took a backup just after and did a diff which reported no substantial difference, and Jacques is fully aware of the problems that we had so I don't expect any differences, but just be on the look out!).

   Format: MarkdownFor the record, any update that modifies the way the data is stored in the database (for example, making the fields larger so that we can have longer page titles or longer pages) potentially destroys case-sensitivity in the database matching. So when Instiki says "Get me a page matching 'ring'" then the database happily supplies 'Ring' instead of 'ring'. Unfortunately, this has to be fixed at the database level each time.
