Braintacle 2.0

Caveats

User-supplied comments and file attachments are dropped from the database. They
were never implemented in Braintacle, but may be left over if the database was
migrated from OCS Inventory NG (which is no longer supported).

  and run "braintacle-tool.php database" to update the database. Then upgrade to

  update dependencies.
