Update to a New Phile Version

You update to a new Phile version by downloading the new Phile release and overwrite the files in your installation.

Phile follows Semantic Versioning. That means that in a new "x.y.z" Version

• New z versions should be a drop-in replacement, you don't have to worry about anything.
• New y versions should be a drop-in replacement. But look out for Update Notes for that release which line-out an update-process.
• New x versions are not a drop-in replacement and may going to break existing installions and plugins. Check the Update Notes for further information.

To update a non-breaking release download it and:

• <root>/
  • Copy over the new composer.json and add your local requirements to it.
  • Copy over any other files in the root /
• config/
  • Replace the contents of the config/ directory except for your config/config.php file. If you changed any other file in that directory you have to carry over those changes manually.
• lib/
  • Copy over the new lib/Phile
  • Copy over the new lib/vendor
  • Clear the cache by deleting the contents of the cache directory lib/cache).
• plugins/
  • Copy over the new core plugins in plugins/phile
• themes/
  • If you use the default theme copy that over.

Run composer update --no-dev if you added other composer requirements.
