Re: Is there anyway to convert into the latest version
If you wish to do it manually on a staged site, send me your existing version number and what extensions you are using and then provide a sql and web dump - pm me. Upgrade will not be straightforward and it s possible your data may get mangled. The config file too will need some new variables although the devs have taken good care to make it backward compatible.
Re: Is there anyway to convert into the latest version
Hello Apmuthu,
I'm not quite understanding.
As Dz mentioned, if frontaccounting hv included the way to upgrade, why should do it manually?
Or I missed up something? or Is there any risk that I don't know about upgrading?
If so, What is the best-practice to upgrade?
I'm concerning about changing the structure of tables
Please advice & thanks in advance
Regards,
Steven
Re: Is there anyway to convert into the latest version
if you upgrade FA. Just take a copy of existing one. Also remember, there are updates with codes and database tables. So it will affect your existing data surely. better get an expert to do this all.

Re: Is there anyway to convert into the latest version
Across some versions especially across the last few ones, only certain files have changed and any new settings in the config file have been provided with sane defaults for backward compatibility (check the config.php.default for changes). There may practically be no changes in the last few sql files as well and in such cases, it would be easier to just overwrite with changed files. The latest too has been provided in the release announcement post.
