- <p>The full package is normally meant for new installations only, but if you want to replace all source files, this package comes in handy.</p>
+ <p>Updating using the full package is the recommended update method for boards without modifications to core phpBB files.</p>
- <p>First, you should make a copy of your existing <code>config.php</code> file; keep it in a safe place! Next, delete all the existing phpBB files, you may want to leave your <code>files/</code>, <code>images/</code> and <code>ext/</code> directories in place, otherwise you will lose your file attachments, uploaded images and get error due to missing extension files. You can leave alternative styles in place too. With this complete, you can upload the new phpBB files (see <a href="#install">New installation</a> for details if necessary). Once complete, copy back your saved <code>config.php</code>, replacing the new one. Another method is to just <strong>replace</strong> the existing files with the files from the full package - though make sure you do <strong>not</strong> overwrite your config.php file.</p>

+ <p>This update method is only recommended for installations with modifications to core phpBB files. This package detects changed files automatically and merges in changes if needed.</p>
<p>The automatic update package will update the board from a given version to the latest version.

For example, if your current version is <strong>3.2.0</strong>, you need the <code>phpBB-3.2.0_to_3.2.1.zip/tar.bz2</code> file.</p>
