5) PASSWORD STORAGE (v1.x only)
The method of storing passwords in the database has changed in Rivendell 2.x
and 3.x, requiring that all non-null passwords be reset after performing the
upgrade. This means that it is important that the account used to access
RDAdmin be set to use a null (blank) password *before* applying the update,
otherwise you will not be able to access RDAdmin afterwards! Once the update
has been applied, passwords should be re-entered for all user accounts in
RDAdmin (including administrative ones) in the usual manner.

This version of Rivendell moves artist separation in rdlogmanager(1) from
clocks to events. The artist separation value from Rivendell 2.x is still
visible in the EditClock->SchedulerRules dialog but will not be used
