i am not able to sort it out? also go throught that above query??? nothing happens???

@dileephell can you upgrade to 1.0.x first? The command that @ondrejsika posted should allow for more watchers, but won't echo anything once it's run.

@remy :upgradation works !!!

This issue has been automatically marked as idle and stale because it hasn't had any recent activity. It will be automtically closed if no further activity occurs. If you think this is wrong, or the problem still persists, just pop a reply in the comments and @remy will (try!) to follow up.
Thank you for contributing <3
