# Updating {#updating}

If you update `pforum` to a newer version, please read this section carefully!

## Upgrade to version 7.0.0 {#upgrade-to-version-7-0-0}

-   Post/Topic image uploads now use Extbase's native `#[FileUpload]` attribute instead of a custom
    `PropertyMappingConfiguration` type converter. If you have overridden `Resources/Private/Partials/Post/FormFields.html`
    or `Resources/Private/Partials/Topic/FormFields.html` in your own site package, replace the two indexed
    `<f:form.upload name="{post}[images][0]" />` / `[1]` fields with a single
    `<f:form.upload property="images" multiple="1" />` field and adjust your template accordingly.
-   `Topic::getCrdate()` and `Post::getCrdate()` now return `?DateTime` instead of `DateTime`. If your own code
    or overridden templates rely on a non-nullable creation date, add a null check.

## Upgrade to version 4.0.0 {#upgrade-to-version-4-0-0}

We have changed many parts of the Fluid templates. Please check the image and link sections in your overridden
templates and adjust them accordingly.
