The automatic update script should find and execute any necessary
changes to the database layout made in different s9y versions beginning
from 0.5. The upgrader will perform its automatic actions, as soon as you
have copied the new s9y files over your old installation and access the start
page of your blog.
You can speed up the process of backing up your data and copying the files by
using the supplied "upgrade.sh" script. Be sure to edit the file and change
the variables to your needs.

Usually all DB schema upgrades in previous versions will be used. So
when you upgrade from 0.5 to 0.7 you will get upgrades from 0.5 -> 0.6
and 0.6 -> 0.7.

However, you are always advised to look at the corresponding
SQL update file in sql/db_update* to see which changes were made.

Please bear in mind that the automatic update script is executable by
any user visiting your blog at the time of updating. You should modify
your .htaccess file before upgradding and include this directives:

---- .htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorisation: Serendipity Upgrade IN PROGRESS"
AuthUserFile /absolute/path/to/your/s9y/.htpasswd
require valid-user
----

Then create a file .htpasswd using a simple 'username:cryptpasswd'
combination. Look at http://www.advancehost.com/htpasswd.html for an
online generator for .htpasswd files.

---- .htpasswd
s9y:s9QXoc9dcFOT2
----

This would create a user "s9y" with password "s9y" with which you'd have
to log into your blog.

A proper backup of BOTH the file system and your database is suggested.
Whenever you made changes to the distributed files (or to the files like
xml.gif or the smilies) you have to make sure to copy them over the
distributed files after updating.

# NOTES ON UPDATING FROM 0.5/0.5.1 -> 0.6                              #
########################################################################

* [The 0.5.1 release was renamed to 0.6, but there will still be DB
  layout changes applied which are labelled as 0.5.1 - just ignore it.
  It's only to easy migration to CVS-Snapshot users using the
  0.5.1-version]

* The structure of the content_rewrite plugin has changed. It will get
  rewritten automatically by the update script, but if you had output on
  your sidebar before, you need to do this:

  - Add the 'serendipity_plugin_eventwrapper' to the sidebar plugins.
  - Configure the 'serendipity_plugin_eventwrapper' and set it to use
    your existing 'serendpity_event_contentrewrite' plugin.

* Smilies and the XML-button where moved from the '/pixel' subdirectory
  into per-template 'img/' subdirectories. If you modified the original
  files, you need to copy your versions inside the
  'templates/default/img/' directory.

* A home-link has been added to the page headers. For that, two new CSS
  classes have been introduced: .homelink1 (header), .homelink2 (
  subheader). If you have a custom template, you need to adapt to those
  changes. To make them look like your header previously has, insert
  this in your style.css:

  a.homelink1,
  a.homelink1:hover,
  a.homelink1:link,
  a.homelink1:visited,
  #serendipity_banner h1 {
    ... your css-definitions ...
    text-decoration: none;
  }

  a.homelink2,
  a.homelink2:hover,
  a.homelink2:link,
  a.homelink2:visited,
  #serendipity_banner h2 {
    ... your css-definitions ...
    text-decoration: none;
  }

Run the file 'sql/db_update_0.3_0.4_mysql.sql' or
'sql/db_update_0.3_0.4_pgsql.sql' to update your database. Apart from
that, just copy over the new files of the distribution.
