Upgrding from Version 3 -->Dec. 2004

Post by steve »

The December 2 news post at http://www.s9y.org/5.html says:

"Upgrading from any version to 0.7.1 is very easy: Just extract the files of our release into your existing directory, open your blog and the automatic upgrader will do the rest."

Back in July, fashionair asked in http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=302 about the recommended upgrade steps, and the upgrade wasn't automatic at all.

Does the December 2 news post mean we can upgrade to 0.7.1 from Version 3 by following the Dec 2 steps, or do we still need to follow the steps given fashionair back in July?

The old post is still valid - and you are right that the NEWS-Notice is misleading. I'm sorry for not being clear on this - but all versions prior to 0.4 need some special attention.

If you need a hand in updating or face problems, just let me know. And, of course - keep a SQL-Dump and Filebackup in your safe! :)
