This document describes how to upgrade between major and minor versions of the

UUID module.

Upgrading between all major and minor versions have been successfully tested

when following the steps described in UPGRADE.txt from Drupal core, with

addition to the notes in this document.

Taking full backups of your files and database is always recommended before

doing any upgrades.

UPGRADING FROM UUID 6.x to UUID 7.x

-----------------------------------

In addition to the steps described by UPGRADE.txt from Drupal core, you need to

follow these notes:

  * Before upgrading, update to the latest UUID 6.x-1.x-dev

  * When doing your upgrade, you must first upgrade to UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1 in

    order to not lose any data during the upgrade. The reason is because the

    sub-modules responsible for the data migration between 6.x and 7.x was

    removed after the release of UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1.

  * After upgrading to UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1 you can proceed upgrading to later

    versions of UUID.

UPGRADING FROM UUID 7.x-1.0-alpha1 TO LATER VERSION

---------------------------------------------------

Make sure to follow these notes when upgrading from 7.x-1.0-alpha1 to later

versions:

  * Before upgrading, disable UUID and all UUID sub-modules.

  * Run update.php.

  * Enable the UUID module. The entity specific UUID sub-modules doesn't exist

    anymore. They are replaced with more efficient functionality in the UUID

    module. No data is lost.
