+Title: MythTV 0.22 Upgrade Database Corruption

+
+Due to an incompatibility between MythTV 0.21 and the default Gentoo
+MySQL configuration, it is likely that long-time MythTV users will
+have databases with a mixture of locale encodings.  If you upgrade to
+0.22 without following these directions carefully, you could end up
+with a database that contains errors that are extremely difficult to
+fix.
+
+Note that not all mythtv users need to modify their databases, and
+this should only be performed at the time of the upgrade.  The guide
+below contains instructions that can be used to determine if this
+problem pertains to you.
+
+Please see the MythTV Upgrade Guide for instructions:
+
+   http://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding
+
+Be sure to save a database backup using mysqldump before upgrading.  
+Also, be sure to upgrade any other clients/backends you are using to
+0.22 at the same time.  The upgrade instructions need to be followed 
+once per database - individual client/backend upgrades do not require 
+these steps.
+
+If you do run into problems with your upgrade, there is a forum thread
+where you may be able to find help:
