You should be able to use your existing app in the current version.  You 
may need to copy some files around (handler for your webserver if you 
aren't using Rocket, some of the static files); that's discussed in this 
forum in the announcement of 2.6.1 back in September.  To use new features, 
I'd go to the book (on-line at web2py.com, but I have hard-copy) and look 
at the samples in chapter 3; you should be able to breeze through the first 
couple and then go back and forth to the fresh meat.  The DAL chapter is 
probably the 2nd place on your reading itinerary.

For just archiving and retrieving changes in a linear history, the web2py 
IDE provides an interface to mercurial  that is just button pushing. 
 Mercurial is pretty easy to install, and is also written in Python.
