====== Update ======

The Synchronet Update module (''[[http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/update.js|update.js]]'') is to be used (executed) when updating an //existing// installation with new/updated modules from [[dev:Git]] or a Windows update-package (e.g. ''sbup3???.zip'').

When executed, the update module will:

  * Performs any necessary data migration tasks
  * Performs any necessary configuration migration tasks
  * Installs newly-available modules
      * [[module:binkit]]
      * [[module:sbbslist]]
      * [[module:avatars]]
  * Re-compiles all [[util:Baja]] modules ''[[dir:exec]]/*.src'' -> ''*.bin''

**Note:**\\
No harm should come if the update module is run unnecessarily, e.g. multiple times in succession.

===== Invocation =====
You run the Synchronet Update module (**after** any other update steps have been performed) with the following [[util:JSexec]] command-line:
  jsexec update.js
