5.0 DR1 - 5.0 DR2 ++ comes out before 5.0 Release. (Its just another whacky way of saying 5.0 Beta 1, 5.0 beta 2++ .. Yeah.. i know "Developer Release".. :P)

Anyway.. When the coders at arms, sit alone in their darkness and figure sumtin out, they implement this in a new code.. when enough stuff been added... wich then sometimes need different structure on the database, or new thing in the database, they end up calling it DR x.. Then they figure out some more stuff, and change some more stuff.. and they finally release it as 5.0 Binaries..

There is no connection between DR releases and a "same format DB".. I wish it was.. or at least WHAT was changed in a more easier to understand format.. hehe.. I am a n00b and i like to be handed stuff with a spoon rather than having to figure out what fields in the DB was moved where, and added/subtracted where..

Luckily guys like TCS+++ like that, and release "fixes" for their databases eventually.

Bottom line.. If you have working .EXE files.. and want to upgrade, you WILL gonna need to fiddle around with the database, else it will turn into a crash fest
