This small change is only betwwen 3.0.10 - 3.0.11 ? Or is it also 
between 3.0.6. - 3.0.10? Because I'm going to upgrade from 3.0.6 to 3.0.10.
So, I did it this way:

I have installed 3.0.6 on my PRODUCTION machine (it is working couple of 
months). I want ro run 3.0.10 on another machine and stop 3.0.6 on 
production and then another machine become production.
I installed 3.0.6. on the ANOTHER machine, then a created backup of 
PRODUCTION mysql-rt3-database. I copied this database on the ANOTHER 
machine.
I tested it, and it works well. Next step was to upgrade rt on the 
ANOTHER machine from 3.0.6. to 3.0.10. I tested it again, and it is 
woking well now.
So, i have 3.0.6 on the PRODUCTION machine and 3.0.10 on the ANOTHER 
machine. Problem is that now the data on the ANOTHER machine are not 
up-to-date and I need to backup and restore database from PRODUCTION to 
ANOTHER again (and stop rt 3.0.6 on the PRODUCTION) . May I just replace 
database on the ANOTHER by database from PRODUCTION (different versions).

Thanks.
