Upgrade from older version

izumitelj

I have older version of Automad (1.4.3) installed and want to upgrade to the latest. In the meantime repository switched to Github so I can't find release notes going to that version. I have few questions and would appreciate any help.

What would be the best approach of upgrading from 1.4.3 to 1.10.9 in my situation? I didn't do any customization beyond what setting offered through dashboard, but I have used Bravo theme (unmodified). If I understand correctly Bravo is not available/compatible with latest version.

Where can I get link to Automad 1.4.3 release. Since my hosting was recently compromised, as a less optimal solution I would at least want to be able to restore the original files.

Thank you!

izumitelj Hi there! All releases are available on Github. Manually migrating to a new version is quite simple. You can simply install the latest version and just move the shared, pages and packages directories from your old site to the new one.

Wow! 🤩 This was by far the smoothest and painless manual upgrade I had. Honestly I didn't expect that old theme and content will work just like that, out of the box.

Huge respect @"mad" for making Automad. It seems well thought out and I like to see it being actively developed. It is also very fast. I think I will seriously revisit Automad for future projects, since last time my primary concern was that it might become abandonware 🙈.

Thank you!

izumitelj I understand but don’t worry. It is under very active development.
