[ZendTo] ANNOUNCE: New production release 6.13

[Jules Field]

Hi Ian,

If you're running something that old, my advice would be to start from 
scratch and launch a replacement service.

The DB structure has had a lot added to it since 4.x, moving that across 
to 6.13 is not going to be trivial. ZendTo itself will attempt to add 
the missing fields for you automatically (if you're using SQLite, which 
you might not be!), but I don't think I would rely on the end result for 
production use.

Come up with a new name for the service (you know you don't have to call 
it ZendTo at all), and launch a new one.
Just keep the old one up until the drop-offs expire, so that previously 
issued links to files still work.

Sorry if that's not the news you wanted to hear, but it will save you 
lots of time and trouble in the long run.

Cheers,
Jules.
