I just upgraded my site and it went very very well.
It’s a good thing that you say what you can keep (stub files and skins), that made it very easy for me to know what I had to change, and chat I could keep.

Just finished the upgrade, the new version rocks.
Updating the permissions would have been more fun with a select/deselect all option (18x93 clicks later my finger was falling off) but I love the feature as it’s now more of a true multi-user system.
Anti-spam works like a charm, including the update from the central system.
Thanks to all involved for the hard work.
