2135    
2136    When installing @sc{gnats} version 3.x, it was possible to choose
2137    whether to enable three optional fields: @code{Quarter}, @code{Keywords}
2138    and @code{Date-Required}.  Default installations had these fields
2139    switched off, and installations which had them were called
2140    ``release-based''.
2141    
2142    The default @file{dbconfig} shipped with @sc{gnats} version 4 or newer
2143    does not have these fields, so if you are upgrading from an old
2144    release-based system, you need to add the following field definitions to
2145    your @file{dbconfig} file:
2146    
2147    @verbatim
2148    field "Quarter" {
2149        description "What quarter does the PR fall into?"
2150        text
2151        query-default inexact-regexp
2152        textsearch
2153    }
2154    
2155    field "Keywords" {
2156        description "Keywords used to index this PR"
2157        text
2158        query-default inexact-regexp
2159        textsearch
2160    }
2161    
2162    field "Date-Required" {
2163        description "Date that the PR must be fixed by"
2164        date
2165    }
2166    @end verbatim
2167    
2168    A side note: Pre-release versions of @sc{gnats} 4 also had a field
2169    named @code{Cases}.  For those who may need it, here is the field
2170    definition of @code{Cases}:
2171    
2172    @verbatim
2173    field "Cases" {
2174        text
2175        query-default inexact-regexp
2176        textsearch
2177    }
2178    @end verbatim
