IMPORTANT

Before installing the CoFFEE "Vineyard" version, make sure you

• uninstall the previous versions (by choosing "Uninstall" in the menu) AND
• back up files in the CoFFEE directory (by default "\Programs\CoFFEE") like sessions you created or logs/traces
• delete the directory where you installed the program (by default "\Programs\CoFFEE")

Please, be sure to back up files like sessions you created or logs/traced of experiments before deleting the installation directory!
Finally, sessions previously designed with the previous version 3.3 can be opened and modified with the CoFFEE Session Editor and are still compatible for playing with the CoFFEE Controller.
