      Eliminate the VW3>4 UpgradePath

      As we have noticed in recent VaultWiki 3 > 4 upgrades, the process is not really reliable. As an upgrade is not an easy action to undo, we should completely remove the upgrade-path for versions < 4.0.0 Alpha 1. Instead, VaultWiki 4 should be installed as a separate product (which could automatically disable VaultWiki 3), and the import system should be used instead. If there are issues, an import can be executed multiple times until it's right while minimizing data loss. This cannot be accomplished with an upgrade.

      Of course the version numbers would not change.

      Completed in Beta 5. As of Beta 5, the download will not include a direct upgrade-path from VaultWiki 3. This is meant to protect users, not make their lives more difficult. Do NOT install Beta 4 because you want to upgrade. There is a new process for that.

      The manual will be updated and I'll write a new blog when Beta 5 is released.
