Wordpress readme upgrade_notice section #14

See: http://wordpress-hackers.1065353.n5.nabble.com/Upgrade-Notice-on-readme-txt-td36608.html

and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/changelogger/

I am thinking on line like this: current version will read upgrade notice for new version in advance AND guide user BEFORE upgrade about issues they may run into.

In buddypress-media 2.2 release @gagan0123 added some php 5.3 specific codes out of the blue, which broke sites that were running old versions.

On sidenote - either take php5.3 route from the start or don't take it all in the middle. If u need to go php5.3 way in the middle, we must have a mechanism in place to inform users in ADVANCE.

@yapapaya please explore this...

We can tell NOT to upgrade unless compatibility issues are sorted out...
