Upgrade from 4.X to 5.0.0

This upgrade is quite major. It's is automatized as usually, but you could encounter some weirdnesses. Read carefully below before upgrading.

1. Backup the application files, and make sure the running instance is writeable by the server
2. Upgrade using the Settings panel button.
3. If you see errors or white page, kill your session by clearing your browser cookies (and more generally your browser cache). Try also clearing the server cache (data/cache/plugins_*.ser and data/cache/i18n/*_messages.ser).
4. Refresh the page, you should see the new theme appear.
5. To migrate from the horrid "bootstrap_plugins.php" file to a more human-friendly GUI for the basic plugins (AUTH, CONF), we introduced a new layer in the configurations management. But to avoid letting you down after upgrade, until the bootstrap_plugins.php file is there, if you try to edit the configs via the Main AjaXplorer Options node in the Settings panel, your edits will not be taken into account. Rename the php file to something else (bootstrap_plugins.php.orig), and this will allow you to configure the AUTH & CORE plugins via the "Authentification Options" and "Configuration Management" panels.
6. If you don't see the new GUI theme, go the Core Configs > Global Configurations > Extensions > Gui > Client Driver, and make sure the "Theme" parameter is set to "vision".
