Upgrade from 3.0.x
==================

An upgrade from a lower version of the same major version should
happen automatically if you chose to use dbconfig-common.

After an upgrade, make sure to refresh your themes and templates cache
in the ACP (admin control panel), otherwise some pages might not
display as they should.

Note that the images folder has been moved from /usr/share/phpbb3/www/
to /var/lib/phpbb3/. There now is a symlink from the former to the
latter. Previously, there were symlinks from inside
/usr/share/phpbb3/www/images/ to /var/lib/phpbb3. Since we had to make
more and more things writable via the web, the entire directory had to
be moved. If there are problems, make sure to check if this
modification happened alright. Also make sure to correctly change the
corresponding 'Alias' directive in your webserver config where
necessary.

If you did not choose to use dbconfig-common in the older package (or
when upgrading) you may still use the provided install folder, which
contains the upstream install/update utilities. However, with these
you are on your own.

Upgrade from older major versions
=================================

Upgrades from phpBB version 2 are not supported, however, for some
hints concerning a manual update from phpBB2 (etch), see
http://bugs.debian.org/550321#25.

Switching from non-Debian install
=================================

Upgrading from non-Debian installed versions of phpBB is currently not
supported.
