+`plugin_buycourses_item` table. And the `plugin_buy_course_sale`,
+`plugin_buy_course_temporal`, `plugin_buy_session_sale` and
+`plugin_buy_session_temporary` tables were replaced for the
+ `plugin_buycourses_item` table.
+
+The __new database__ structure is formed for the tables:
+

+- `plugin_buycourses_item` The registered courses and sessions in the platform
+- `plugin_buycourses_item_re_beneficiary` The beneficiaries users with the sale of courses

+
+v2.0 - 2014-10-14
+=================
+This version adds support for sales of sessions access.
+A session can be purchased as soon as it is given a price, granted the current
+date is either previous to the session start date, between the start and end,
+or no date has been defined for the session.
+Students are subscribed automatically once they have paid. There is no 
+intermediary step.
+This version does not work (yet) with the session period defined by user
+(a special feature introduced in Chamilo 1.9.10).
+
+Upgrade procedure
+-----------------
+If you are working with this plugin since earlier versions, you will have to
+look at the installer to *fix* your plugin tables (add a few fields).
+
+v1.0 - 2014-06-30 (or something)
+=================
+This is the first release of the plugin, with only the PayPal payment method
+in working state and only for courses.
