Upgrading

v1.0.0 Breaking Changes

Database migration required: Version 1.0.0 switches from rusqlite to Diesel ORM with a new database schema. The old database is not compatible with this version.

Before upgrading, you must delete the old database file:

%APPDATA%\com.ntfier.app\ntfier.db

Note: This will delete all your subscriptions and notification history. You will need to re-add your subscriptions after upgrading.
