EEK! yeah that's considered an upgrade which aren't documented yet.
We're in the process of finishing up the upgrades for Spacewalk soon.

The idea is that we would have upgrades ready and documented when
a release comes out. But being late with the 0.2 release, we wanted to
get it out sooner than later even without the upgrades being done.
I even created versioned repos to avoid this very scenario :(

But for 0.1 -> 0.2 upgrades aren't working yet and not much we
can do to fix that right now. I put it on the Known Issues section
hoping folks wouldn't upgrade yet.
