Re: [mylar-dev] 1.0.0 preview builds

[Eugene Kuleshov <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

 The only unusual thing about my scenario is that I uninstalled Mylar 
several times using update manager. So, after some restarts, there was 
no Mylar installed. Then at some point after installing Mylar next time, 
task list had only web queries. Nothing was in the log, all connectors 
were there and I was able to restore from last backup file.

 regards,
 Eugene
