Upgrade 1.1.3 to 1.3.1: where is the "upgrader"?

I try to upgrade my s9y 1.1.3 installation to 1.3.1. Here is what I've done so far:
- Backup db and files
- Download new s9y package
- upload all files except serendipity_config.inc.php to my server via FTP
- call the admin panel

While I read in the documentation: "Then go to your Serendipity Admin Panel, and you will see the Serendipity upgrader." there is no upgrader at all on my panel. It looks like always, telling me to be version 1.1.3. The blog still runs as always.

What's wrong with what I'm doing?

Hi!

Why this:
- upload all files except serendipity_config.inc.php to my server via FTP
You need this file. :)

No doubt :-) And I also have it - but the old one, and as I understood from the documentation I should not overwrite this file as it contains my settings! Should I??

Hi!

No, the documentation only mentios the serendipity_config_LOCAL.inc.php file. This is your LOCAL configuration, the other file is the important core include file of Serendipity itself, so they must not be confused. If yo upload this missing file, everything should work.
