+IMPORTANT

+1. Files in the filesystem are re-organized by a new system based on dates. So, documents are not stored in folders named 
+    by the project's identifier but by the data of uploading, e.g. 2017/09. It's the same system used by Redmine for 
+    attachments.
 2. DMS storage directory plugin option is related to the rails root directory.
+3. The plugin is independent of the gem xapian-full-alaveteli which has been replaced with ruby-xapian package. Therefore
+    is recommended to uninstall xapian-full-alaveteli gem and install ruby-xapian package in order the full-text search
+    is working. 
     
 * Bug: #758 - Error in template when retrieving details of a file in a subfolder
 * New: #755 - Ability to retrieve the MD5 value of a Document type
