  1. INTRODUCTION
  2. ------------
  3. This document describes how to upgrade between major and minor versions of the
  4. UUID module.
  5. Upgrading between all major and minor versions have been successfully tested
  6. when following the steps described in UPGRADE.txt from Drupal core, with
  7. addition to the notes in this document.
  8. Taking full backups of your files and database is always recommended before
  9. doing any upgrades.
  10. UPGRADING FROM UUID 6.x to UUID 7.x
  11. -----------------------------------
  12. In addition to the steps described by UPGRADE.txt from Drupal core, you need to
  13. follow these notes:
  14. * Before upgrading, update to the latest UUID 6.x-1.x-dev
  15. * When doing your upgrade, you must first upgrade to UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1 in
  16. order to not lose any data during the upgrade. The reason is because the
  17. sub-modules responsible for the data migration between 6.x and 7.x was
  18. removed after the release of UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1.
  19. * After upgrading to UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1 you can proceed upgrading to later
  20. versions of UUID.
  21. UPGRADING FROM UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1 TO LATER VERSION
  22. ---------------------------------------------------
  23. Make sure to follow these notes when upgrading from 7.x-1.0-alpha1 to later
  24. versions:
  25. * Before upgrading, disable UUID and all UUID sub-modules.
  26. * Run update.php.
  27. * Enable the UUID module. The entity specific UUID sub-modules doesn't exist
  28. anymore. They are replaced with more efficient functionality in the UUID
  29. module. No data is lost.
