Upgrade to Cuyahoga 0.9
Note: This is an online report, which means that I'm writing this post as I'm upgrading.
I downloaded the binary distribution edited the web.config to point at my database and then copied the directory to the server, overwriting everything there.
In retrospect, I'm not sure this is very wise, since I can't remember how I change the default look and feel of Cuyahoga. OTOH, I have it on a backup, so that is not a big issue.
I'm copying via SmartFTP's threaded queue. One thing to notice there is that there seem to be be problems if you try for really high number of threads (25 and above). The problem doesn't seem to be in SmartFTP itself, but on the server, and it's related to locked files. I'm not sure what is wrong there, but I'm currently using 10 threads to upload, and it seems to be working fine.
This version of Cuyahoga should offer some performance gains (mainly because of the upgraded version of NHibernate) and fixes some problems with regard to over-eager caching.
Hm, it looks like SmartFTP didn't copy the Bin directory. That is strange, I'll copy it manually.
Okay, that worked, and I got the nice installer that upgraded my database. I still got some problems with regard to the positioning, it was a bug in Cuyahoga 0.8.2, which I think has to do with deleting sections, but it should be fixed now. It doesn't automatically fix the problem, though, and I had to go and fix that manually.
There wasn't any problem with my layout, seems that I created a new template instead of overwriting an existing one. The one problem I'd is overwriting the orange RSS image with a blue one, and that took a second to fix.
I needed to upgrade the downloads module manually. There used to be a bug where downloads would sometimes freeze midway, I hope that is fixed.
