Bugfix Upgrade

Example

No breaking changes in database or HTML-Template-Files.

An upgrade should be very easy. Follow these steps:

  • Upgrade powermail via composer or oldschool with the Extension Manager
  • Clean all caches in the Install Tool (just removing all files in typo3temp/* may not help you!)
  • Reload Frontend
  • Reload Backend
  • Done

Minor Upgrade

Example

Upgrade from Powermail 8.x.a to 8.y.b

Details

Normally there are no breaking changes. If there is a required change, the update is marked with !!! in TER and in Changelog. Probably there are changes in the Database, but the already stored values keep working.

Follow these steps:

  • Upgrade powermail via composer or oldschool with the Extension Manager
  • Use original HTML-Files (Templates, Partials, Layouts) for testing
  • Clean all caches in the Install Tool (just removing all files in typo3temp/* may not help you!)

  • Done

Major Upgrade

Example 1

Upgrade from Powermail 7.x to 8.x

Details 1

Many breaking changes in database, Template Files, Scheduler Tasks, etc... are possible. You have to upgrade your own HTML-Templates (and Partials and Layouts) by your own. In addition the used TypoScript could have modifications - upgrade your TypoScript config.

Follow these steps:

  • Upgrade powermail via composer or oldschool with the Extension Manager
  • Are there any upgrade wizard steps regarding to powermail that you can execute? Execute them.
  • Clean all caches in the Install Tool (just removing all files in typo3temp/* may not help you!)
  • Use original HTML-Files (Templates, Partials, Layouts) for testing if there are still problems
  • Use original TypoScript configuration for testing if there are still problems
  • Reload Frontend
  • Reload Backend
  • Update Backend User Rights for the new powermail version
