Upgrade Notes

• You can run this release without using the Alaveteli Pro functionality - by
  default it is switched off.

• Please update any overriden templates and theme code that reference times and
  dates to reference the local time zone where appropriate. e.g.

  Time.now => Time.zone.now
  Date.today => Date.current
  DateTime.parse => Time.zone.parse

  See https://robots.thoughtbot.com/its-about-time-zones for a description of
  how Rails handles time zones

• To store the significant dates for requests in the database, you must run
  bundle exec rake temp:populate_request_due_dates after deployment.

• To store events identifying at what point requests became overdue and very
  overdue, you must run bundle exec rake temp:backload_overdue_info_request_events
  and bundle exec rake temp:backload_very_overdue_info_request_events.

• There are some database structure updates so remember to rake db:migrate

  for more information.
• If you've overridden models that use attr_accessible or attr_protected,
  you'll need to update them as per the strong parameters migration guide.
• There are some database structure updates so remember to rake db:migrate
