+In most cases, packages should upgrade smoothly between &oldreleasename;
+and &releasename;. There are a small number of cases where some intervention
+may be required, either before or during the upgrade; these are detailed
+below on a per-package basis.

+<para>
+Evolution (the GNOME Desktop mail client) has been updated from version
+<literal>2.22</literal> to <literal>2.30</literal>. This changes the
+storage format used by the package for local data and there is a
+possibility of data loss if the upgrade is performed whilst <systemitem
+role="package">evolution</systemitem> is running. Exiting the
+application itself may not be sufficient, as various related components
+will continue to run in the background. To avoid any potential issues,
+it is recommended that you completely exit your desktop environment
+before beginning the upgrade to &releasename;.
+</para>
+<para>
+As part of the upgrade process, <systemitem
+role="package">evolution</systemitem> will check whether any related
+processes are running and will recommend that they be closed. A
+secondary check for processes will then be performed; if necessary, a
+choice will be offered between allowing the remaining processes to be
+killed or aborting the upgrade in order to resolve the situation by
+hand.
