Introduction

This document covers basic upgrade notes for major ENiGMA½.

Before Upgrading

Always back ALL files in the 'db' directory
Back up your menu.hjson (or renamed equivalent)

General Notes

Upgrades often come with changes to the default menu.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:

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.

Pulling Latest From GitHub

Upgrading from GitHub is easy:

cd /path/to/enigma-bbs
git pull
npm install

Problems

Report your issue on Xibalba BBS, hop in #enigma-bbs on Freenet and chat, or file a issue on GitHub.

0.0.1-alpha to 0.0.4-alpha

Node.js 6.x+ LTS is now required

You will need to upgrade Node.js to 6.x+. If using nvm (you should be!) the process will go something like this:

nvm install 6
nvm alias default 6

Manual Database Upgrade

A few upgrades need to be made to your SQLite databases:

rm db/file.sqltie3 # safe to delete this time as it was not used previously
sqlite3 db/message.sqlite
sqlite> INSERT INTO message_fts(message_fts) VALUES('rebuild');

Archiver Changes

If you have overridden or made additions to archivers in your config.hjson you will need to update them. See [docs/archive.md](Archive Configuration) and core/config.js
