Joomla Update and Alpha/Beta Versions.

[reynaldo celaya III]

To upgrade from alpha I downloaded the beta and merged all the files into my existing install. Everything works but I wasnt sure if there were any database changes from alpha2 to beta1.

Does the Joomla Update Component work for these pre releases(I didnt think, to try it)?

Was it ok only overwriting the alpha files with the beta?

In the joomla update component config I see a "testing" update server. What is this "testing" server for and is there a update server for contributors that want the latest?

Dont get me wrong I use git and its awesome, just not for db schema changes.

I doubt the alpha -> beta update will work correctly for the database. To be save I'd either do a fresh installation or a fresh update from 2.5.6.

Actually you can usually just go to the database tab and use Fix.

That will probably not work because the schema version is 3.0.0 in both the alpha and the beta.

It works after a bug fix in downloadable beta version update sql:
com_admin/sql/updates/mysql/3.0.0.sql line 18
there is a line referencing #__user table which doesn't exist

looks like it has been fixed in master branch

Yes, it should be #_users (plural) and it has been fixed.

Kind regards,
Nick
