 * IMPORTANT: Pre-upgrade step for 7.0pre1 and 7.0beta releases *  
 ****************************************************************  
  Before upgrading to 7.0 from any of the 7.0 test releases, you  
  must run the following command:  
   
  kudzu -q  
   
  If you do not do this _prior_ to the upgrade, your system may  
  not boot. If this happens, please see the workaround here:  
   
  http://www.contribs.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=698  
 ***************************************************************

 7.0beta9 -> 7.0pre1  
 ===================  
 - Test Internet Access now accesses contribs.org and only passes two  
   pieces of information - the version installed on your server and  
   a string used to differentiate your server from others using this  
   test. This string is generated by a one-way hash function and access  
   to the string does not provide any information about your server.  
   
   We appreciate your assistance in sending this information so we can  
   gain an accurate count of the installed servers.  
   
 - Server manager changed to use contribs.org branding. CSS files still  
   need to be updated.

 - The maximum length of user and group names has increased from twelve to 31.  
   
 - Reconfiguration reboot added to "Shutdown and Reboot" panel  
   (added in Beta9). This performs a "post-upgrade" and a "reboot" and
