Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Fix Released

Bug description:
Two additional fields are added into the artefact_file_files table in file artefact/file/db/upgrade.php at the following version points...

2008101602 => field 'filetype' is added
2008091100 => field 'fileid' is added

Unfortunately these fields are accessed within the core upgrade script lib/db/upgrade.php. At version point 2009111012 an sql query is run on artefact_file_files accessing the filetype field.

As in an upgrade the core is always upgraded before anything else, if the starting database is old enough (any 1.1.x version I think) then core upgrade will attempt to access fields that do not (yet) exist causing a fatal error and upgrading failing.
