If not, and +you want to continue using it, you'll need to port it forward yourself. + +If you are upgrading from a version of Bugzilla earlier than 3.6 and have +extensions for which a newer version is not available from an upstream source, +then you need to convert them. This is because the extension format changed +in version 3.6. There is a file called :file:`extension-convert.pl` in the +:file:`contrib` directory which may be able to help you with that. |
