WARNING: If you used external modules, some of them may need to be upgraded due to:
- Fields of classes were renamed to be normalized (nom, prenom, cp, ville, adresse, tel
  were renamed into lastname, firstname, zip, town, address, phone).
  This may also be true for some fields into web services.
- If module use hook pdf_writelinedesc, module may have to add return 1 at end of 
  function to keep same behaviour.
