Updating MX to new version: Difference between revisions

====if using any 3.7.y0 release, any 3.8.x release, or 3.9.y release====

See sub-section directly above, that describes similar process, '''upgrade directly to 3.9.6, or any later build, within 3.9.x''', without any major change or to 3.12.0 with major change (find either release from [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/releases this Github page]).

If you are using a release earlier that 3.7.0, you can note there were3.7.0 nowas otheronly buildsbuild in 3.7.y series, but because 3.7.0 introduced a lot of changes these staged upgrades recommend that this version3.7.0 is implemented, and run for a while, before continuing to upgrade.

VersionBe aware that 3.8.0 was a major release, as it introduced the ability to run Cumulus MX as a service., However,but there were bugs in the builds in all 3.8.z versions, and in some 3.9.x versions, so that is whyno you needreason to skipinstall throughit intermediateas buildsthe ability to releaserun either 3.9.6interactively, build 3101or as a minimumservice, doingcontinues theto one-offbe changesavailable notedin asall IMPORTANTsubsequent releases. here:

IfBe youaware dothat implement3.10.0 was withdrawn, but it was a major release that totally changed the files in [[Web folder]] and [[Webfiles folder]] within the release download. However, you can skip directly from 3.9.6 build 3101,(if you canhave continueimplemented that) to upgrade,3.12.0 as soon as you are happy to change your web server contents (if you are using web pages that MX provides), see sub-section above for further advice re web pages. You should continue in stages because it is mandatory to install 3.12.0 as only that release can rewrite your [[Cumulus.ini]] file ready for subsequent release, so ensure that 3.12.0 is working before installing current release as instructed in sub-sections for those using subsequent releases.
