   3  Upgrading from previous versions of FileField does not differ from the
   4  recommended approach for other modules.
   5  
   6  Upgrading from Drupal 5
   7  -----------------------
   8  
   9  1) Your Drupal 5 installation must be running at least FileField 2.3 before
  10     migrating to Drupal 6. If your version of FileField is older than this,
  11     install the latest version of FileField for Drupal 5 on your Drupal 5 site
  12     and run update.php. This gets the database in a format that the Drupal 6
  13     upgrade expects.
  14  
  15  2) After ensure FileField 2.3 or higher is on your Drupal 5 site, upgrade your
  16     site normally to Drupal 6. Download the latest version of FileField for
  17     Drupal 6 and place it in your sites/all/modules directory.
  18  
  19  3) Run update.php on your Drupal 6 site to upgrade FileField to the latest
  20     database schema.
  21  
  22  
  23  Upgrading from any previous Drupal 6 version
  24  --------------------------------------------
  25  
  26  1) Download the latest version of FileField and the filefield directory in
  27     sites/all/modules.
  28  
  29  2) Visit update.php on your site and run the update.
  30  
  31  
  32  Running update.php
  33  ------------------
  34  Never, never, ever expand the "Select versions" fieldset and manually change
  35  the update number. Drupal knows which version you are currently running and
  36  automatically selects the appropriate version. If you change this number, you
  37  risk running an update twice (if you select a lower number) or you'll skip
  38  updates entirely (if you select a higher number). The ability to change the
  39  update number was intended for developers. Due to the confusion caused by this
  40  fieldset, it has been removed entirely in Drupal 7 to prevent such accidental
  41  self-inflicted damage to user sites.
