In version 3.4 I removed the backwards upgrade compatibility for very old versions directly to version 3.4. This included the Free Version. I removed this because I couldn't find a decent way to check the SQLite/MySQL tables for the new column so when I added it, it would throw errors (harmless errors) when the server started up and people were complaining about that... for whatever reason... even though it didn't do anything and no errors after start. I figured anyone updating from the Free version could just download and install version 3.3 and then upgrade to 3.4 if they wanted to. I posted these as instructions but no one saw them apparently because I get tickets EVERY SINGLE DAY asking why it doesn't work...
So.. I just spent some quality time and fixed it for real.
I re-added backwards upgrade support, but I did it properly this time. No errors, seamless.
Other than that... nothing was changed.
if you already have version 3.4 and it works.. no need to get this update.
AS ALWAYS, IF YOU UPDATE TO THIS VERSION BE SURE TO BACK UP ANY CHANGES YOU HAVE MADE TO YOUR SETTINGS FILES AND REPLACE THE SETTINGS ONCE YOU UPDATE. DO NOT JUST COPY THE OLD FILES OVER THE NEW, MAKE SURE YOU PASTE IN THE SETTINGS INTO THE NEW FILES. Sorry for the inconvenience.
