1- Go to "Add/Remove Software" and uninstall "portabase".  This only deletes
   the files added by the installer, so your data files will be left alone.
2- Install the new portabase .ipk.  (The libmetakit1 .ipk hasn't changed
   since PortaBase 1.0, so you don't need to do anything with it.)

Probably in a week or so.  Features I plan to add for it are:

- Unicode support (mostly done, all that's left is allowing unicode
  characters in column names)
- Font selection, so you can choose a unicode font or reduce the font size
  to fit more data on the screen
- "Blank" date support
- Enumeration column type
- Optional delete confirmation dialogs (for rows, views, sortings, and filters)
- "Delete All Rows" option
