<ul>
<li>To avoid potentially confusing the update manager use &quot;Search for new
features..&quot; when installing.</li>
<li><b>Bugzilla Connector users</b>: after updating, if you get a &quot;Could not log in&quot; error when
synchronizing a query and your credentials are correct open it, verify that it is associated to the correct
repository, and click OK (some older task lists did not properly associate
queries with repositories). </li>
<li><b>JIRA Connector users</b>: JIRA Core Services 0.8.0 (from Tigris.org) will
get installed with this release if it was not downloaded with a previous one.</li>
<li><b>Eclipse 3.2 users</b>: this release supports Eclipse 3.2M6 (not M5). The custom Mylar
Java editor is gone, so before restarting
deactivate the current task or close all active editors, and run the New -&gt;
Mylar -&gt; Preference Configuration wizard if it does not pop up
automatically.&nbsp; If auto folding doesn't work reset the folding provider (see
<a href="#active-folding">Active Folding</a>).<br>
