RC3 to RC4 db differences

[zoran]

I downloaded the RC4 install and setup up another VHOST with it, and all went well. But i have a question about moving from rc3 to rc4. I looked at theDB and it looks like rc4 has an extra db table. The count was 26 tables for rc4, but only 25 for rc3??? I thought there were no db changes, is that right?

I found it. it seems that the install for RC4 creates a phpwcms_bid table that RC3 never did.

Does this change anything as far as the procedure for an upgrade?

For upgrade from successive release dates:
http://example.com/path/to/phpwcms/setup/upgrade.php
which uses "/setup/phpwcms_update.sql"

For upgrade with "missed" release dates in between:
Examine "/setup/phpwcms_update_older.sql" for recent previous database changes that may need to be inserted.
Then execute http://example.com/path/to/phpwcms/setup/upgrade.php
which uses "/setup/phpwcms_update.sql" to make installation most current.

The update process is a bit outdated. I haven't time to fix it. Check the *.sql files in that folder (not phpwcms_init.sql).
