What’s new in Gunbot RT
Here’s a quick overview of the most important changes introduced with Gunbot RT.
Upgrading
GUI: unpack the new release to a new folder, all settings from older versions can be migrated just by copying the db.sqlite file to the v9 folder before first run.
Core: it is recommended to do a clean install in a new folder, because of many new parameters in config.js and changed default values.
