Upgrade Questions

Post by bh_scripts »

Hi,

A question about upgrading (from 0.10.2) to this 0.10.3 release:

- Is there a "patch" release available i.e. only the changed files, or do we simply unload all the program files in the 0.10.3 download?


A question/suggestion about the pending 0.11 version:

Is there going to be an upgrade mechanism (i.e. not a complete reinstall) to go from existing versions to 0.11 (my assumption is that 0.11 is quite a step up from 0.10.x e.g. database changes)?.
Due to CMS's popularity I think there is a large enough installed base of CMS sites to make this a worthwhile issue.

I agree that there should be patches between releases.  I will try to do this for any point releases (say, 0.11 to 0.11.1).

However, there is an upgrade mechanism.  It's been around since 0.2.  :)  Copy the new files over the old ones (it doesn't remove anything important), and then run install/upgrade.php.  This will be very important for the 0.11 upgrade, when it does eventually come out...

Thanks. Yeah, I forgot about upgrade.php.
