This is a guide to updating your AddOns saved info from the original way to save (everything in one SavedVariables.lua file) to the new, 1.7, version (different files for each AddOn).
I'd like to note the "0. Backup SavedVariables.lua" someone posted farther down in the thread. Make sure you guys don't lose all your info, and backup SavedVariables then go through this process to make sure everything gets copied over correctly. Many of us have experienced losing SavedVariables.lua before, and it sucks.
This change should help make SavedVariables safer, and will also make it easier to exchange SavedVariables information for AddOns like Lootlink and Gatherer :)

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
