[chandler-users] Upgrading from Chandler 0.7.3 (or earlier) to 0.7.4

[Eugene Eric Kim]

I had to take one extra step to upgrade from 0.7.3 to 0.7.4 on Linux 
(64-bit Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon).  After exporting my collection in 0.7.3, I 
had to manually delete the ~/.chandler directory, then start up 0.7.4 and 
import my collection.  Otherwise, when I tried starting up 0.7.4, it just 
crashed on me.  Now everything's working great.
