If you were using custom itemtypes, read this carefully:

- The renderengine has been completely re-build, so each custom-itemtype needs to be re-rendered.

1. go to the custom-itemtypes' -configuration-page (thats the one with the fields in a list and the templates).
2. click 'save'.
   this will re-render all the output with the new render engine.
3. do this for each of your custom item types.

- The template system is slightly different. In 1.2.0 the intro-template was for display in catgory-blog view, and the full-template was for display of the item in full view. To be more default Joomla compatible, in this new version, in full view Both the intro-template AND the full-template are shown. There is a special tag you can use in the intro-template to hide parts of that template when the article is viewed in full view. Its a bit more tricky to configure, but this gives loads more 'read more' options.

from version 1.1.0 to version 1.2.0

Backup you configuration-file. The old configuration-file is not compatible with the new version, but you can use it for reference.

You can find it here:

administrator/components/com_pi_pages_and_items/configuration.php

Just uninstall version 1.1.0 and install 1.2.0.

All data will be saved as the database tables do not get deleted on uninstall.
