+> Bugzilla optimizes database lookups by storing all relatively static
+ information in the versioncache file, located in the data/ subdirectory
+ under your installation directory.
+ </P
+><P
+> If you make a change to the structural data in your database
+ (the versions table for example), or to the
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="QUOTE"
+>"constants"</SPAN
+> encoded in defparams.pl, you will
+ need to remove the cached content from the data directory
+ (by doing a <SPAN
+CLASS="QUOTE"
+>"rm data/versioncache"</SPAN
+>), or your
+ changes won't show up.
+ </P
+><P
+> That file gets automatically regenerated whenever it's more than an
+ hour old, so Bugzilla will eventually notice your changes by itself, but
+ generally you want it to notice right away, so that you can test things.

+> The developers of Bugzilla are constantly adding new tables, columns and
+ fields. You'll get SQL errors if you just update the code. The strategy
+ to update is to simply always run the checksetup.pl script whenever
+ you upgrade your installation of Bugzilla. If you want to see what has
+ changed, you can read the comments in that file, starting from the end.
+ </P
+><P
+> If you are running Bugzilla version 2.8 or lower, and wish to upgrade to
+ the latest version, please consult the file, "UPGRADING-pre-2.8" in the
+ Bugzilla root directory after untarring the archive.
