UPGRADING SIDEBAR MANAGER

If you are upgrading from any previous version of Sidebar Manager
then it should be sufficient to simply re-install Sidebar Manager over 
the previous instance, allowing it to copy newer files over older one. 
To confirm an upgrade has taken place properly, check Movable Type's 
System Overview for Sidebar Manager among the list of installed
plug-ins, and its version number in the list of active plugins at 
the bottom of the page.
