support will be coming in a future release. Please read the upgrade instructions provided
in the documentation with this release.
[FORUM-1206]
- Increased performance on MySQL by optimizing some commonly slow queries on that database.
Note: This optimization requires that the Jive defined database indexes exist on the
jiveThread and jiveMessage tables. If you have upgraded from older releases or have modified
the database schema you should verify your schema is identical for those tables to what is
defined in the jive_forums_mysql.sql database file.

Prior to 4.0.1 this file was part of the jiveforums.jar and has since been moved out
of the jar and into the classes directory for easier editing. If you're deploying 4.0.1
as a WAR then that file will be copied automatically. Otherwise, please copy the file
or an error will result the first time you load the webapp.
