Before the upgrade
------------------
Before upgrading any version of Moodle, I recommend
making a backup copy of the moodle directory, your
data directory and your database, to guard against
the very unlikely event that something in the upgrade
goes wrong.

Upgrading the files using CVS
--------------------------------
If you are using CVS, just go to the Moodle root
directory and type "cvs update -d". If you have been
editing your files watch the messages very closely
for possible conflicts.

(and consider sending your changes in to me as patches!)
Upgrading the files using a downloaded archive
-------------------------------------------------
Remove the current installation directory
and then unpack the new tar or zip file into the same
location. (Overwriting an old installation will
usually work, but I can't guarantee that).
Next, copy the config.php file from your old installation
into the new installation (or make a new one by editing
config-dist.php). If you have created new themes or
other plug-ins then make sure you copy those back too.
