While it would be nice to persist these in the DB, I'm guessing that is some time off. Until then, make sure you keep the WEB-INF/config/jforum-custom.conf file before deploying a new version - the settings are stored in there.

A backup of the configuration data is now stored in the "jforum_config" table in the database.

Before an update, the jforum-custom.conf file should be backed up so it can be restored afterwards. If for some reason no copy of the file is available after an update, a fresh copy can be created from the table via a SQL command like

select config_name||'='||config_value from jforum_config

or

select concat(config_name, '=', config_value) from jforum_config

or something similar, depending on which database server is used.

This change has been commented out for the time being (in SystemGlobals.saveInstallation), and will be re-enabled in a later release. It requires lengthening the jforum_config. config_value field; it curently can't accommodate long property values (like database.connection.string for MySQL).

This has been fixed in the trunk.
