      No, that is the release tag for beta5. If you want latest development branch, it’s at branches/2.0, or less frequently updated at branches/revolution.

      Setup takes care of any database changes between versions; just make sure you rebuild and upgrade when it is specified in any updates since your last one.

        "setup"... what setup??

        Can you tell me the steps for update my version?
        I’ve an installed version of Revo (that I’m using)
        I download new files from /tattoo/branches/2.0 and overwrite my old_revo files
        and now??

        Thanks OpenGeek for your support!

        Have a nice day!

            In these days I’ve read your link (http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Using+MODx+Revolution+from+SVN) and made test.... Can you support me in these problems??

            Suppose that I’ve an installed and working version of Revo, installed using setup, where I’ve my documents, my contents and, for example, every 2 weeks I want to update this version with SVN latested files:


            I would like to download the Revo version where I found all updates/fixed done each day/week for allow me to update my installed version with bug/fixes/updates added
            I refer to this URL http://svn.modxcms.com/svn/tattoo/tattoo/branches/2.0, as you have written me in your old post


            Please tell me if these steps are right
            - I download all files (from a specified SVN url, branches/2.0) using SVN
            - In downloaded files (on my PC) I create my new build.config files (I find this downloaded files and I modify it)
            - I also modify build.config for point to a blank DB (not my installed Revo version DB)
            - From downloaded folder/files I execute _build/transport.core.php (I can do this using browser.... not using VNC)
            - Now I will have a file named core/packages/core.transport.zip and a folder named core/packages/core/
            - Now I Can execute the setup of Revo ... I run setup from new files downloaded, from new version downloaded (I still have my old version of Revo in another folder, and in another DB)
            - What I’ve to do with two (zip file and folder) created?
            - <<"Make sure you check both the "Core package has been manually unpacked" and "Files are already in-place" options when installing from SVN">>
            this isn’t clase Do I’ve to execute the install from SVN or from Browser?? (Why do have to verify these checks in SVN if I install from browser URL Setup??)
            - Now new version it’s installed (I suppose)... How Can I transfer documents/chunks/snipptes created in my old version of Revo??


            Thanks


            Step 2:

              You can’t other than manually; you should have upgraded your existing installation rather than creating a new folder/db.

                The Provisioner component from extra’s might help you here, http://modxcms.com/extras/package/563, install it in your new installation and point it to your old one. Its available as a normal installation through package manager, the assets/components/provisioner/docs folder contains a user guide
                  Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

                  What does that mean? What I have to do??

                      You should be OK going from old(revolution branch) to new(2.0 branch) although admittedly I’ve not tried this lately. As revo matures into a GA release Provisioner will be updated to match this at which point we will have a stable baseline, until then you may get a few funnies depending on how far apart the installs are in time.

                      Can you also reply to my question about the new version builter??? (I mean the question that I’ve posted in my old post)
                      Sorry, not sure what you mean here, if you point to me specific question I’ll have a look.
