### Upgrading from release
Installing over the older version is not supported. Fresh installation is necessary to prevent data corruption.
1. Make a backup of the project's directory. Some of the old files will be reused
2. Follow the [Installation from release](#installation-from-release) from the beginning and stop before 7th step
3. Copy file `config.json` and directory `data` from the backup you made into the new installation's directory
4. While still in the virtual environment, migrate the database: `python main.py --migrate`
After these steps are performed, the bot is ready to be started and used.

Timezones are compatible with summer time (e.g. `CET` will be interpreted as `CEST` during summer time).
