Important notice:

If you are upgrading from babble.server 0.x to 1.x, you must run the upgrade step.

This requires that you add the external method in Extensions/upgrade_to_1.0.py in the same Zope instance where you have added the ChatService, and then run it by clicking on the “test” tab.

Make sure to backup your Data.fs before running the upgrade!

You can use the following values when adding the External Method:
