Upgrading to a later Maintenance Release

Tip
titleupdating to a newer milestone release on the maintenance branch

The third version number is known as a maintenance release and should only ever require a simple update to perform. Maintenance releases never contain any schema changes, and do not require any sort of "updater".

For example, upgrading from 6.0.0 to 6.0.15.

Steps to Upgrade

  • download the maintenance release; this will only be the ./core directory (and all its underlying file system)
  • Perform any backups (optional: maintenance releases are normally very stable and don't make data or schema changes, still it never hurst to be cautious)
  • replace your current ./core directory with the newer maintenance ./core directory structure
  • restart the application (eg. ?updateapp=yourappkey, or from the editors tray, or from the webtop admin tools)
  • that is all!
