Upgrade

When a new version of TYPO3 is released, you should follow the guideline in this chapter in order to do an upgrade. Also follow any additional upgrade information carefully. You might e.g. want to skim the Release Notes on get.typo3.org to see if any features affect the way your site works.

Version specific upgrade notes
