I cannot find a query that identifies which version is installed or if updates are available.
Please clarify or point me to the documentation.
Maybe this will help - http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upgrading.htm#versioncheck
OK, thanks pointing out where to find out what version is installed.
I have 1.5.12 installed, and now must REPLACE it with 1.5.16
This is a huge amount of work over a number of sites.
Why is there no automated or semi automated upgrade facility available?
It is not that complicated nor too time consuming. A few minutes with ftp and then browsing to update.php really does not take long.
We have discussed a few upgrade methods in the past but so far have not developed the ideas too far for various reasons.
