Hi
 
Is there a list of files that have been updated in the new version 3.3.1 anywhere?
 
It would be much easier & probably quicker to update the site if I can see a list of the files that have changed since version 3.2 and just update the select files, as I have made changes to numerous templates and don't want to overwrite them.
 
It's not really an option for me to overwrite the whole site with the new version of viart and then re-upload all my amended files again. I'm sure others will agree, especially as the site is live on the web.
 
Thanks

Hello,
 
At present, we do not have the possibility to publish all the files that were changed in one document. To see all fixes performed to 3.3.1 version, please go to our Announcements sections:

You can download a set of fixes for this release from here: http://www.viart.com/downloads/viart_shop_fix-3.3.1.zip
 
Extract all the fixed files into appropriate folders of your shop replacing existing ones.
Don't forget to make a backup copy of the current files in case something goes wrong.
 
Best regards,

Its not only the files that change with upgrades but the site structure might change as well. Then there are changes to the database structure!
 
Its worth googling for file difference software for your operating system. On my Ubuntu setup theres a great one called "Meld" and if you havnt already done so set up a local web and MySQL server (EasyPHP - Windows. Apache2/Webmin - Linux). This way you can run everything locally, test, upload new site and database and change a couple of remote Admin settings for URL and email.
 
Its not simple but it does ensure reliability.
