This document covers basic upgrade notes for major ENiGMA½ version updates.
# Before Upgrading
* Always back up your system!
* Always back up your system! (See [Administration](/docs/admin/administration.md))
* Seriously, always back up your system!
* At least back up the `db` directory and your `menu.hjson` (or renamed equivalent)
# General Notes
## Configuration File Updates
In general, look at the `menu_template.in.hjson`, and `config_template.in.hjson` as well as the default `luciano_blocktronics/theme.hjson` files when you update. These files may come with new sections you wish to merge into your system!
In general, look at template menu files in `misc/menu_templates`, and `config_template.in.hjson` as well as the default `luciano_blocktronics/theme.hjson` files when you update. These files may come with new sections you wish to merge into your system!
### menu.hjson
Upgrades often come with changes to the default `menu_template.in.hjson`. It is wise to use a *different* file name for your BBS's version of this file and point to it via `config.hjson`. For example:
```hjson
general: {
menuFile: my_bbs.hjson
}
```
After updating code, use a program such as DiffMerge to merge in updates to
`my_bbs.hjson` from the shipping `menu.hjson`.
### theme.hjson
Any custom themes you have created may now be missing features as well. Take a look at the default `luciano_blocktronics/theme.hjson` file. You can use missing sections in your `theme.hjson` (which will generally correspond to sections you've also merged in to your `menu.hjson`).
### Menus & Theme Updates
Upgrades often come with changes to the default menu templates found in `misc/menu_tempaltes`. You can use these as references for changes and additions to the default menu sets. This also applies to the default `luciano_blocktronics` theme and it's `theme.hjson` file.
See [Updating](/docs/admin/updating.md) for details on menu files/etc.

* Be aware that `master` is now mainline! This means all `git pull`'s will yield the latest version. See [WHATSNEW](WHATSNEW.md) for more information.
* There is no longer a `prompt.hjson` file. Prompts are simply part of the menu set in the `prompts` section.

You will be asked a series of questions to create an initial configuration, which will be saved to `/enigma-bbs-install-path/config/config.hjson`. This will also produce `config/<bbsName>-menu.hjson` and `config/<bbsName>-prompt.hjson` files (where `<bbsName>` is replaced by the name you provided in the steps above). See [Menu HJSON](menu-hjson.md) for more information.

## Menu HJSON
The core of a ENiGMA½ based BBS is `menu.hjson`. Note that when `menu.hjson` is referenced, we're actually talking about `config/yourboardname-menu.hjson` or similar. This file determines the menus (or screens) a user can see, the order they come in and how they interact with each other, ACS configuration, etc. Like all configuration within ENiGMA½, menu configuration is done in [HJSON](https://hjson.org/) format. See [HJSON General Information](hjson.md) for more information.

Menu entries live under the `menus` section of `menu.hjson`. The *key* for a menu is it's name that can be referenced by other menus and areas of the system.
:information_source: Remember that the top level menu may include additional files using the `includes` directive. See [Configuration Files](config-files.md) for more information on this.
## Common Menu Entry Members
Below is a table of **common** menu entry members. These members apply to most entries, though entries that are backed by a specialized module (ie: `module: bbs_list`) may differ. See documentation for the module in question for particulars.
