Or will we have the benefit of a fully automagical migration action which will work for all (because batteries are included)?

Any thoughts / ideas ?
Standard rules always apply (just in case ) :
MAKE A BACKUP of your Library
Keep the last 2.x installer handy
Calibre will migrate the DB if needed. There is code in the installer that does this when a DB stale version was detected. (It has been a Long time since this fired off)
