Hello,
I've tried searching the board but I haven't found any information about this. I have installed modifications on my board and thus modified core files. I would like to upgrade to 1.4.10 (right now it is 1.4.8) but I don't want to have to go through and reinstall these MODs. Is there a place that shows the changes between each version, so I can just add the new code into the files that I have modified? The upgrade information in the documentation would override my changed files.
Thanks
use a diff viewer like winmerge to find out

Thanks! Can I actually use it to merge the files and automatically add the changes, or should I do them by hand? Is there a list that shows what files have changes between each version? I would then only have to check the files I have modified for changes.
Also in regards to db updates, I have my cpg install bridged with phpBB. For running db updates could I go into my cpg or phpbb database and run the sql query from there? If so, which one?
Use WinMerge as Stramm suggested. You'll learn that nearly all files have been changed (most of them only count of the version count only though).
I recommend Diff-viewing a vanilla copy of cpg1.4.8 to your modified version, make a note of the changes, then apply the upgrade as suggested (replacing all files) and finally re-applying your mods by looking at the notes you made earlier.
Regarding db upgrades: do exactly as suggested in the upgrade section of the docs: running the file update.php as suggested there will perform the needed db upgrades.
Thank you for your help, I have successfully upgraded.
