Upgrading

Bedework has been running at your site for some time and new versions have appeared and now it's time to upgrade. How do you migrate all that data from one version to the next?

Upgrading from version 3.5 or later involves dumping your Bedework database using the dump/restore utility and then restoring the file into the new version.

Upgrading from an earlier version of Bedework older than 3.5 uses the same process, but for public calendaring requires some post-processing of the data to migrate from a multiple calendar model to a single calendar model.  A rudimentary script is available in bedework/projects/bwtools to help with this process.
