Are there any special considerations to upgrade to v4.90?
I actually use v4.0 and plan to install v4.90. Please let me know if there is a source with instructions.

With respect,
Jorge Maldonado

To update your application to dotConnect for PostgreSQL 4.90.120, you need to
1) update the references to Devart assemblies in your application;
2) set the proper version number in the license file (licenses.licx).

Otherwise, you may set the "Specific Version" of these references to false and remove information about the version from licenses.licx.

There may be some peculiarities in updating applications of specific types, like web applications. In this case, please specify the type of your project.

Feel free to contact us if something is unclear.

My project is a web application; I kindly ask you to give me a more detailed explanation.

For web applications, you need to update the version of all Devart assemblies referenced in your project, e.g., in the 'Register Assembly' nodes of web pages and in the node of web.config.

The simplest way to correct all such entries is to perform the search of 'Devart.Data' with the "Entire Solution" option and update all found results to reference the latest versions of Devart assemblies.

We plan to implement the possibility of upgrading for newer builds of dotConnect for PostgreSQL (inside a single major version) to our Upgrade Wizard, but cannot provide any timeframe.

I have the following entries in the assemblies tag of the web.config:

What are the new (and complete) versions for each one?
Is there any additional entry I should consider?

With respect,

For the 4.90.120 version, the new entries should be

Code: Select all

Updating these entries should be enough to use the newer build of dotConnect for PostgreSQL. Please tell us if you are encountering any problems with this.

We have improved Upgrade Wizard. It can be used for changing references when upgrading to the other version. This functionality is available since dotConnect for PostgreSQL v 4.95.
