Migration Notes:
It is recommended to you generate a new broker instance for this release. The 1.0 beta3 release uses a slightly different default configuration (to create a https port for administration). If your were using the BDB store, this new release uses a totally different storage layout so you should export the data from the previous versions, wipe the data directory and then import it into the broker on the new release.
