==== Upgrade Notes ====
  * 1.8 -> 1.9 introduced a change to how change set checksum generation is performed for addNotNullConstraint and removeNotNullConstraint. You will get an md5sum error if you use these tags until you either add a validCheckSum tag to the failing changesets using the old checksum (the one listed in the validation failed message) or run "liquibase clearCheckSums" or "UPDATE DATABASECHANGELOG SET MD5SUM=NULL"
  * 1.5 -> 1.6 introduced a change to how change set checksum generation is performed.  You will get an md5sum error message until you either run "liquibase clearCheckSums" or "UPDATE DATABASECHANGELOG SET MD5SUM=NULL"
  * 1.4 -> 1.5 introduced changes that may break existing configurations.  See the [[http://blog.liquibase.org/2008/01/liquibase-core-150-released.html|1.5 release announcement]] for more information


==== Requirements ====

LiquiBase has been designed for Java 1.5 and greater. There is a package built for 1.4, but it has not been well tested....



==== Installation ====

Extract liquibase.zip. In it you will find a //liquibase-VERSION.jar// This jar is all that is needed to run LiquiBase from the [[manual/command line]], [[manual/ant|Ant]], [[manual/maven|Maven]], [[manual/spring|Spring]], or a [[manual/servlet_listener|servlet container]]. You can run the [[manual/command_line|command line]] version of the migrator with the same jar file by simply running //java -jar liquibase-VERSION.jar//.
