Yes, that's 100% correct :)

Thanks for reporting the error from our demo. There's no problem in the release; something only related to the demo (fixed).

Good to see you implemented some of my mods :)
Will have a better look at it later today to see what you added, but for now I must say it looks all nice.

Awesome to see our own contributions in the new PHP Melody :).

Mostly our bug reports, but glad to know they were taken into great consideration and fixed.

Thanks Andrew.

Just wondering how easy the transition is. I've updated a CMS before.. and only had more errors happen.

Any modifications that were made in 1.6.6, will they work in 1.6.7?

The actual changes in php files, such as the showing video duration on the homepage? Or even worrying about some of the speed codes in the php and js files that Trace so generously shared on the forum? Obvious changes like backing up my style.css and reusing it wouldn't be a problem?

What's the advice on upgrading? I want to be prepared so I'm not spending hours fixing issues and being unable to go back. And what about the existing SQL database? Does this remain? Or, after backing this up (via the myPHPAdmin in 1.6.6), just going back in and restoring it?

@Xarex: As every webmaster knows better which are the modifications he made in his own website I suggest to take a look in the Upgrade package (the patch version).
This way, you will be able to see which are the changes and where you should modify.

Yeah, I have a folder where I saved all of what I did to my files. Just don't want to be adding something that was already in place. I'm guessing the information package file within the folder contains more detailed information about the updates.

I am always skeptical upon new releases. It's not that they are bad. It's just that there are going to be unforeseen bugs, sometimes bugs that could take a while to fix.

You are right.
Therefore, I suggest to have a second mirror of your website, perfect for testing and 1.6.7 upgrade. Once it works flawlessly, you may move it to the root.

It is written in the upgrade package (download it from the customer area, "download updates" menu)


Code: Select all

Log in as admin and run the "db_update.php" file as instructed in the
notification pop-up.
