+Upgrading from an earlier version of Slony-I to 1.1
+-----------------------------------------------------
+$Id: UPGRADING,v 1.1 2005/04/15 21:59:34 cbbrowne Exp $
+
+When upgrading Slony-I, the Slony installation on all nodes in a cluster
+must be upgraded at once, using the slonik command UPDATE FUNCTIONS.
+
+While this requires temporarily stopping replication, it does not
+require an outage for applications that submit updates.
+
+The proper upgrade procedure is thus:
+
+ 1. Stop the slons on all nodes. (e.g. - old version of slon)
+ 2. Install the new version of Slony-I software on all nodes.
+ 3. Execute a slonik script containing the command
+
+ update functions (id = [whatever]);
+ for each node in the cluster.
+
+ 4. Start all slons.
