I don't think this is the correct procedure.
Why shouldn't we follow the release notes?

Upgrading from XOOPS 2.3.x (easy way)

1. Get the right update package from the sourceforge file repository

There is no such package on sourceforge...only the full package.

Unless there is something new in this release,

Do not upload and writeover your mainfile.php. You will lose the settings written during the original install. Just edit the old one to look like the new one.According to this thread the protector precheck and post check includes can be removed.

There is no need to upload the install directory for an upgrade.

That text is leftover from a past release. It should have been edited.

The update scripts for all past core versions are included in the upgrade folder found in the main archive.

How I Upgraded to 2.3.3 to 2.4:
1) Upload everything in htdocs except install folder, mainfile. php and the trust folders to your XOOPS root.

2) Upload the trust folders to where ever you have them now (outside of root). Make sure you do not have two instances of these.

3) Upload the upgrade folder to your XOOPS root directory

4) CHMOD and edit the remote mainfile. Save and CHMOD back to 444.

5) Logon as admin, visit yoursite/upgrade and follow the instructions.

Flawless upgrade. Thanks to all core developers!

There is also upcoming "Installation Guide".

For current draft and feedback please read this thread.

I hope to have a final version sometime this week.
