This package normally contains the changed files from up to five previous versions.</p> 275 275 276 <p>This package contains a number of archives, each contains the files changed from a given release to the latest version. You should select the appropriate archive for your current version, e.g. if you currently have <samp>3.0. 3</samp> you should select the phpBB-3.0.3_to_3.0.4.zip/tar.gz file.</p>276 <p>This package contains a number of archives, each contains the files changed from a given release to the latest version.

Do not forget that if you have installed any MODs these files will overwrite the originals possibly destroying them in the process. You will need to re-add MODs to any affected file before uploading.</p> … … 284 284 <p>The patch file package is for those wanting to update through the patch application, and being comfortable with it.</p> 285 285 286 <p>The patch file is one solution for those with many Modifications (MODs) or other changes who do not want to re-add them back to all the changed files if they use the method explained above. To use this you will need command line access to a standard UNIX type <strong>patch</strong> application. If you do not have access to such an application but still want to use this update approach, we strongly recommend the <a href="#update_auto">Automatic update package</a> explained below. It is also the preferred update method.</p>287 288 <p>A number of patch files are provided to allow you to update from previous stable releases. Select the correct patch, e.g. if your current version is 3.0. 3 you need the phpBB-3.0.3_to_3.0.4.patch file. Place the correct patch in the parent directory containing the phpBB3 core files (i.e. index.php, viewforum.php, etc.). With this done you should run the following command: <strong>patch -cl -d [PHPBB DIRECTORY] -p1 < [PATCH NAME]</strong> (where PHPBB DIRECTORY is the directory name your phpBB Installation resides in, for example phpBB3, and where PATCH NAME is the relevant filename of the selected patch file). This should complete quickly, hopefully without any HUNK FAILED comments.</p>286 <p>The patch file is one solution for those with many Modifications (MODs) or other changes who do not want to re-add them back to all the changed files if they use the method explained above.
