Updating Magnolia

General update procedure

1. Stop your application server.
2. Unpack the bundle corresponding to your current installation of Magnolia.
3. Replace all jars found under the WEB-INF/lib directory of your Magnolia instance(s) by the new ones found in the bundle you just unpacked. Make sure you remove any module you had previously removed from your 3.5 instance(s) and re-add any extra module you might have added as well.
4. Optionally, you might want to delete all the indexes to give them a little boost: delete the index folder under each workspace directory: repositories/magnolia/workspaces/config/index, repositories/magnolia/workspaces/website/index, and so on. Indexes will get recreated on startup, which might take a while, depending on the size of your repository.
5. If you customized any of the magnolia.properties files, please compare the changes you made with the new corresponding file. New properties might have been added, some might have been removed. This will usually be specified in the release notes of the version you're installed.
6. Restart your application server.
7. Using your browser, go to your Magnolia instance(s) and follow the instructions given by the install/update wizard.
