== How do I upgrade to a new release? ==
{{Version badge 1}} There are no upgrades available for Cumulus 1.
These instructions apply whether you are updating by one build, skipping several builds, upgrading to/from a beta version, or installing the latest 'release' version.
If you are using an earlier version of Cumulus 1, do upgrade now,
[[File:Badge vMx.png]]'''Cumulus MX: The release is supplied as a zip of all files (whether changed or same as before), unzip it into a suitable holding area. Copy those files, that the release announcement says have changed, into the correct folders. Then, when you next start Cumulus MX it will be the next release''' (If you have edited any of the files, don't overwrite those files you have changed).
If you are using an earlier version, to upgrade now, #first download the '''installer''' ''CumulusSetup.exe'' from an obsolete page in this Wiki ([https://cumuluswiki.org/Downloads/CumulusSetup.exe Downloads/CumulusSetup.exe]). Next follow the instructions at [[Setup|Setup page]] and from that new version do the patch in previous paragraph.▼More detail available at [[Cumulus_MX#Updating_to_a_new_MX_release|Updating_to_a_new_MX_release]].
#Next follow the instructions at [[Setup|Setup page]]
# Finally, replace just the one file "Cumulus.exe" in your installation by the patch available from [[Do|Downloads page]].
If you are using the final version of Cumulus 1, and your drop down dates do not run to 2030, then you need to follow this last instruction and apply the patch

If you are using the final version 1099 as release in November 2014, there is a patch that adds years from 2020 to 2030 to the dropdown selectors available on[[Software#Cumulus_1|Software page]].
