Hi,
I want to upgrade arrowchat to the latest version. i.e. v1.81. Is there an option for automatic upgradation without resetting my database values. When I try to upgrade manually, it will delete the previous database tables and install the new one.

The issue is, I want to keep some data unaffected on the upgradation. An automatic upgradation by which all the new features will be installed without affecting the old values will be a great thing. Any option for that? Or I want to work on database again? :(

Follow the upgrade instructions on the patch notes: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1908

It will not delete the database/settings as long as you run /upgrade/ and NOT /install/

Thanks Jason.. Worked fine.. :)

One more doubt. When I tried to install earlier the new database has ip_address column in status table and 1 or 2 new tables also. But after upgradation, such changes are not visible in db. Will the chat function have any issues without these?
