Quick question...

When a bug is fixed in the BETA version, do we have to replace the entire thing again, or just certain components (and therefore re-do all our galleries)? If it's the latter, it would help to know what components to replace when downloading the updated BETA versions.

For now you can keep /imagevue/config and /imagevue/protected if you changed themes - /imagevue/themes, we adding small bugfixes here and there.
But dont rely on that, when we'll say 'overwrite whole dir' that means goodbye themes and everything. There will be some major changes in that area.

You do NOT need to replace your content structure with photos/files, so you will always be able to keep that part. The same goes for descriptions and titles, as they are saved in the content folder also.
As for the rest, here is how I summed it up in usage terms:

Therefore, we recommend not spending too much time on making custom themes(configurations) unless you are willing to manually update your themes(XML files) after updates. The good news is that you can always maintain your content(all your photos, folders and files) when updating, as this folder does not require being updated.

How 'bout the admin? Will we need to re-configure our users and re-set our passwords?

Users sit in /protected directory, if you want to keep em - do not overwrite it, I don't think we will change storage scheme right away.
But in any case soon you will have to overwrite whole dir anyway.

I nearly forgot that part in the
update guide
Added!
