For a more complete list of what’s new and different, see the Miro 2.5 Release Notes.

Important Note: The refactored database sometimes takes a looong time (up to 12 minutes) to process on the first restart after the 2.5 upgrade. It’s especially noticeable if you have a large database, but will only happen once.
