Installation of Newer Version

Hi,

There is no auto-update in the way you could have for standalone software.

Each tile a new version is deployed, you can :
- receive an internal alert if : you are admin, you agreed the "look for update" in the global parameter screen, and you server has "allow_url_fopen = On" in php.ini.
- receive the information in the newsletter if you subscribe to it
- receive an alert from forum if you subscribe to the "news" topics

Then update process is easy :
- download new version
- unzip it on your server and move result so that the new directories/files will overwrite existing ones
- connect as admin (any other connection will be blocked until process has ended)
=> the 'automatic' process will begin, upgrading your database to new version

That's all.
You can upgrade from any version to any newer version.

You should always back-up before an upgrade, in case something gets wrong duiring the process.
And I advide to backup daily (or at least weekly).

But the upgrade process does not delete your data : your get you data unchanged after upgrade.
