Note: All users are encouraged to upgrade regularly to the current release in order to take advantage of all improvements and fixes.

Potential Backwards Compatibility Issues
- Changes to the exp.materials and inventory tables will add additional reserved fields and ensure future development in important areas.
- Users who have coincidentally using field names that become "reserved" for system purposes may need to make changes prior to upgrading. These are not commonly used names, so issues are unlikely to impact many users.
- The inventory.item.volume field was migrated to exp.materials.StoredAmount
- The inventory.item.volumeUnits field was migrated to exp.material.Units
- The inventory.item.initialVolume field was removed. Note that if you have been using a custom field by this name, any of its data will be deleted. Rename any such custom fields prior to upgrading.
