Category:Cumulus MX: Difference between revisions

If you have a monitor to see the output from the Cumulus MX engine in(Windows itscall this a console logwindow, Unix-based implementations call this the output terminal window), you will see a prompt when a new version is available. Equally if you can view the MXdiags file for the current session of MX, that will say if a new version of MX is available. Obviously if you are using latest version, you do not see this message!

*If your update is from the immediately previous build, then just check the release announcement in the support forum, or the précis style entry at [[Cumulus_MX_formal_release_versions]] in this wiki (if that is up to date) for which files have been affected. The actual release announcement will be more informative telling you if the upgrade requires one-off actions (like changing the schema if you use a database, or editing your web pages to take advantage of new web tags). The release announcement may sometimes include scripts to download and run to perform one-off actions.

*If your update is skipping some intermediate versions, then check the corresponding release announcements or Wiki entries for every version since the one you have been using before planning your upgrade. Again there may be one-off actions required at particular in-between versions.
