How to upgrade the client to v2.5

As usual, clients are updated automatically - go to Help menu, Check For Software Updates and confirm the installation. You will be asked to restart the client.

How to upgrade the server to v2.5

There are several changes in configuration files, so the safest way to update the server is to re-install it. This can be done by either completely removing older installation directory or overwriting it. Just make sure to stop the server before you do it.

Otherwise, if you made changes in configuration, then take aside /conf directory, install new release by over writing older one, and put your /conf directory back. The following configuration files must be taken from the 2.5 update as they were modified:

  • /conf/log4j.properties (disabled internal appender)
  • /conf/jobs.xml (added optional statistics job)
  • /conf/lfs-cache.xml (new overflow cache configuration)

That's all there is to it !
