# TinyMUX 2.13.0.9

I am releasing [TinyMUX 2.13.0.9](ftp://ftp.tinymux.org/tinymux-2.13/alpha/9).

This is a documentation and packaging release. The server code is
unchanged from 2.13.0.8.

# Documentation:

 - New UPGRADING.md with step-by-step guide for migrating from earlier
   TinyMUX versions to the SQLite backend. Covers both explicit
   db_load import (recommended) and drop-and-start fallback paths.
   Explains the +X flatfile header flags including V_DATABASE bit.
 - Merged docs/CONVERSION.md into UPGRADING.md and deleted the former.
 - Converted all remaining plain-text documentation to Markdown:
   REALITY, REALITY.SETUP, SQL, SSL, docs/BACKUPS, docs/CONFIGURATION,
   docs/CREDITS, docs/DISTRIBUTIONS, docs/GUESTS, docs/LIMITS,
   docs/PATCHES, docs/REALMS.
 - Deleted docs/MEMORY (memory-based mode no longer exists).
 - Updated INSTALL.md, NOTES.md, README.md, and LOCAL.md for
   SQLite-era behavior.

# Game Scripts:

 - Hardened Backup script: dependency checks for sqlite3 and gzip,
   atomic write via temp file, collision guard, second-resolution
   timestamps, error checking at every step. Safe to run while the
   game is live.
 - Modernized Startmux, db_load, db_unload, mux.config, and
   Startmux.wsf for SQLite storage.

# Wizhelp:

 - Removed @backup command (called deleted _backupflat.sh script).
 - Removed stale wizhelp entries: have_comsys, have_mailer.
 - Restored and updated wizhelp entries for input_database,
   output_database, crash_database, fork_dump, comsys_database, and
   mail_database with accurate SQLite-era descriptions.
 - Updated @dump entry to describe WAL checkpoint behavior and
   /flatfile switch.

# Miscellaneous:

 - Updated all TOC control files (unix/ and win32/) for Markdown
   renames, new files, and removed files.
