******************


Migrating from OpenMPT 1.17
---------------------------

Unless you install OpenMPT in portable mode, all settings are now stored in
%APPDATA%\OpenMPT. The installer will automatically try to move all settings
to the new folder - Migration is done automatically.


Uninstallation
--------------

An uninstaller is provided. Don't worry, it will ask you if you want to keep
your personal settings, none of these will be deleted automatically.
Custom files that are created by the user (e.g. key bindings) will never be
removed.


Changes
-------
