software package contains only config.php.sample,
so there is no risk of affecting your settings during an upgrade.
There is a new config.php file with this version,
and along with it, a migration tool called
upgrade_config.php to easily install the new
config.php file, while still maintaining all of
your existing settings. The upgrade_config.php
feature was first introduced in Tungsten Dashboard version 1.0.11-1

ONCE!
