Updating from 0.7.47 to 0.8.60

Lady Fitzgerald · 07-17-2012, 08:31 PM

I've been away for a while. I'm using 0.7.47 right now. Is there anything I need to know or do before I update to 0.8.60.

Backup your metadata.db file, just in case there's a problem and you need to go back to the lower version.

I think the Download page says it's more complicated if you're upgrading from one of the 6.x versions, but I think you're okay, other than it's always safer to make a backup first.

Also give it some time to finish any background tasks (It might be updating the Metadata.opf in each book folder). It may not be quick, the first time out of the chute. don't assume

it has failed

There is a 'backup status' on the Library maintenance menu (these are not normal Jobs that spin the wheel

Thanks, guys! It appears the upgrade went without a hitch (being the coward I am, I backed up the entire library first).
