+  For certain installations, the following steps should be performed
+  after the CodeIgniter 1.7.0 upgrade (taken from:
+  http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/upgrade_170.html).
+
+  >>> Update your Session Table
+
+  If you are using the Session class in your application, AND if you
+  are storing session data to a database, you must add a new column
+  named user_data to your session table. Here is an example of what
+  this column might look like for MySQL:
+
+    user_data text NOT NULL
+
+  To add this column you will run a query similar to this:
+
+    ALTER TABLE `ci_sessions` ADD `user_data` text NOT NULL
+
+  You'll find more information regarding the new Session functionality
+  in the Session class page:
+
+    http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html
+
+  >>> Update your Validation Syntax
+
+  This is an optional, but recommended step, for people currently
+  using the Validation class. CI 1.7 introduces a new Form Validation
+  class (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html)
+  which deprecates the old Validation library. We have left the old one
+  in place so that existing applications that use it will not break, but
+  you are encouraged to migrate to the new version as soon as possible.
+  Please read the user guide carefully as the new library works a little
+  differently, and has several new features.
