Hi,
I have version 1.6.2 running on my site and I would like to upgrade to 1.7.0. I downloaded 1.7.0 but there is no readme file in the archive. Where can I find instructions for upgrading?
Thanks,
Bart.

The Readme is in gallery/doc/readme_en.txt
Upgrade
=======
1. elements to save :
- file "include/mysql.inc.php"
- directory "galleries"
- your database (create a dump, using PhpMyAdmin for instance)
2. delete all files and directories of your previous installation (but not
the previous listed elements)
3. extract files from the downloaded file (using tar or unzip command, or
softwares like 7-zip or winzip)
4. upload all the new version files to your website but the previous listed
elements. The only elements coming from the previous installed version
are the elements listed above.
5. go to the URL http://your.domain/gallery/upgrade.php and follow the
instructions
How to start
============
Once installed or upgraded, your gallery is ready to run. Start by
displaying the installation directory in your browser :
http://your.domain/gallery
Then identify as an administrator. A new link in Identification menu of main
page will appear : Administration. Enter the administration panel.
In the administration panel, take all your time for reading instructions
explaining how to use your gallery.

So that means when we upgrade, all of our custom settings and changes that we made will be lost?
All that is saved is the gallery pictures?
Whats new in version 1.7.0 over V 1.6.2 ? Is it a security upgrade?

Add to el ninjo's list: (you can save and reuse)
All file with "local" somewhere in the name.
And Themes directories (to be tested only new functions need some customisation).
Don't forget that a lot of information are in the database.
(Notice: start upgrade by a complete export, in case of failure).
