Dolphin 7 (Hookie) BETA 8. Now with "6to7" migration script.

This one took a bit more than we expected, mostly due to the security update we talked about before. Anyway, we expect this to be the last beta and the next release will bring the long-awaited "update scripts" tail.

6to7

The coolest part about today's package is the "6to7" data-transfer script. Something you're supposed to use for moving site database from Dolphin 6 to Dolphin 7. Yeah, turns out that we'll be releasing it as well, so give it a test drive, please. Here's what you need to know:

1. Install Dolphin 7.0 to the same server as Dolphin 6.1.6, so migration script would be able to get data from it.
2. Your Dolphin 6.1.6 site will stay put, so you can play it a few times, no sweat.
3. You can only migrate from 6.1.6 (6.1.5 could play ball too, but we haven't checked).
4. Dolphin 7 installation must be a "clean install" with all the modules installed (those you're using at 6.1.6 at least).
5. Start from "Profiles" first, then go on with the rest of the data.
6. Migration is a "cron job" thing, so cron jobs have to be properly configured.
