NetMRI 7.6.0 has no in-place upgrade?

[#1]

The release notes for NetMRI 7.6.0 say that it cannot upgrade a 7.5.x system.  Instead one must perform a new installation and then restore the DB from 7.5.x.  Could someone please explain what change has has caused that?  IIRC, in past major updates, when the DB schema changed, the tables were converted in the background.

Is anyone running 7.6.0?  I'm leaning towards waiting until 7.6.1.  Also, I'd prefer to install on a new VM, but a temp license would only cover a small number of devices.

The underlying OS was changed from Fedora to Ubuntu, and that's why a direct upgrade to this version is unfortunately not possible.
