Update

This page allows you to update Dotclear automatically. If a new version is available, you will be asked if you want to update. Before doing so, you can check what changes do this update bring by clicking on Information about this version.

You can force the new version check by clicking on Force Dotclear update checking.

If everything is OK, i.e. if you didn't manually modified any installation files, the update procedure will:

• Create a backup of your current installation in the current working directory named backup-x.y.z.zip (where x.y.z are the version numbers, e.g. 2.5.3).
• Download the new version.

Once this is done, a message such as the following will be displayed: "Congratulations, you're one click away from the end of the update."
Click on Finish the update. You will be logged out. The database will be updated, if needed, when you will log back in.

If you manually modified some files, they will be listed and you will be advised to manually update them.

Manage backup files

From this tab, you can remove old backup files.

You can also rollback to a previous version. Only consider rolling back if you have serious troubles with the new version.
