Notes before updating to version 1.5
After installing 1.5 you must visit admin area. A background script will kick in and migrate your data to a new format. Then you please check all your pages that use Full Page Slider and Page with Background templates. I have tested the migration script many times, however there is a chance that you will need to adjust settings to achieve the desired look. Hope you will enjoy the new Full Page Slider.
