There isn't in the user docs because it's nothing that a user should
need to care about. It should be all automatically. Unfortunately there
are sometimes bugs or users who try weird stuff. :P

The upgrade from 2.32 to 3.2 worked pretty well for me (about seven
months ago), except for three or four smaller bugs.

It would be better if bugs get fixed instead, especially as changes to
the user docs would target version 3.6. I don't care about updating 3.2
or 3.0 documentation anymore (they would not even be deployed on the
server as nobody plans to do new releases for such old versions).
