-Usually upgrading your SilverStripe installation just means overwriting files
-and updating your database-schema.
-
-  - Backup your database
-  - Backup your webroot
-  - Download the new release and uncompress it to a temporary folder
-  - With these folders: cms, sapphire, googlesitemaps
-      - Delete your existing folders
-      - Extract and replace folders from your download (leave modules
-        and your custom directories alone)
-      - Moving your current folders (rather than installing on top) means
-        you can undo the installation, and ensures if the new release has no
-        longer contains some files, these files won't be left behind, which otherwise
-        could cause bugs.
-      - Visit http://your.silverstripe.site/dev/build (This adds new
-        fields/tables to the database, and empties your template cache)
-  - Check if any modules (e.g. blog or forum) in your installation are compatible
-    and need to be upgraded as well
-  - Check if you need to adapt your code to changed APIs, see
-    http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=upgrading
