Just run the installer for the new version. Your data and settings are not affected, but of course you should back up your data and any settings files (e.g. cumulus.ini and strings.ini) before you run the installer. You can install the new version to the same place as the previous version, and the installer will offer this as the default. Occasionally, there may be actions you need to perform before or after the upgrade - these will be documented in the readme.txt file, which will appear when you run the installer. | |||
During the install, you will be given the option of installing the HTML files. If you have customised the existing pages, you might want to untick this option so that your versions don't get overwritten. Cumulus will always install the files to a folder called 'originals' in the 'web' folder, so you can look at them to see if there are any changes you might want to include in your customised versions. | During the install, you will be given the option of installing the HTML files.
